Chapter 14

The rest of the day was just Lauren and I watching TV and then shopping for more clothes and other stuff for Lauren. Soon night came and Lauren retired to her bedroom. I sat on the couch and I had my notebook with me. All the lights were off except for one lamp that emitted a soft, gently glow. I let out a small yawn as I wrote. I knew it was getting late but I wasn't really that tired. The whole apartment was silent. So quiet that the sound of my pencil was almost deafening.

It was almost midnight when my ears picked up a different sound. I quickly set my stuff down, stood up, and went down the hall. I slowly creaked opened Lauren's door and peeked inside. Lauren was sitting up in her bed and she appeared to be shaking. I was also able to see some stray tears on her cheeks. I opened the door completely and entered the room,

"Are you ok Lauren?" I asked softly as to not startle her.

"Y-y-yeah." Her voice cracked and it sounded so low and sad. I felt my heart drop when I heard her voice. I slowly entered the room and made my way to her bed.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"It was just a nightmare." I knew it was more than that but it is clear that she didn't want to talk about it.

"Do you want to join me in the living-room?"  She gave a nod. I smiled and reached out my hand for her. She gently grabbed a hold of it and we walked down the short hallway to the couch in the living-room. We sat on it and I opened up my notebook.

"Do you want me to read to you or do you want to read?" She stared at my notebook as though it was a sacred item of some sort.

"I-I can read." I handed her the notebook and gave her a small smile.

"You can read any story you want." She gave a nod and began to read in her head. Soon she began to shiver so she scooted closer to me. She seemed to really enjoy my work and that made me feel very proud. Soon an hour past and Lauren was dozing off. Another 30 minutes passed before Lauren finally fell into a deepsleep. I gently took the notebook out of her hands and set it on the coffee table. I then carefully and gently picked Lauren up. I then slowly walked down the hall until I made it to her room. I laid her in her bed and pulled the blanket over her. I then left and went to turn off the lamp in the living-room.

Well, my arms are sore now. I think I may need to hit the gym soon........Nah. I'll be fine. I think I should go to bed though. It's like.... oh shit! It's freakin 1:42........................Yeah. Definitely going to bed.

I climbed into my bed and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up to the sound of something sizzling. I sat up and ran my hand through my bedhair in an attempt to fix it. I got out of bed and made my way to the kitchen. The whole apartment smelled of bacon and eggs. I saw Lauren at the stove and she soon noticed my presence.

"Morning Lauren. Thank you for cooking breakfast."

"No problem. It should be ready soon." I gave a nod and sat on the couch. I saw the notebook and instantly remembered what happened last night.

I hope Lauren felt better and slept ok........

Lauren soon joined me on the couch with two plates of food. As we ate an idea popped into my head.

"Lauren, I wont be here everyday since I now have a non-stay-at-home-job." I saw a spark of sadness in her eyes.

"I'll be back at 3 and I'll be gone for four days out of week. I'll be here Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday." She gave a nod.

"I thought you were a writer?"

"I am. I just wanted a stable pay for you."

"Me?" She stared at me in an unbelieving manor. She must of been used to people only doing stuff for themselves.

"Yeah. I never had a family so I want to make sure you have the best I can offer." She stared at me before smiling.

"Thank you." Suddenly my phone vibrated.

Mark: Hey y/n, I'm on my way to the airport. I should be in LA in a few hours.

Y/n: Ok. Do you me to meet you there?

Mark: Yeah.

Y/n: Cool. I'll see you in a few hours.

"Who was that?

"Mark. He's going t be at the airport in a few hours. Do you want to come with me to pick him up?" Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Yeah! When?"

"Well since it' ten now.......I'd say about 1." She gave a nod. Once we finished our food, I took both plates to the sink. Another thought popped into my head while I cleaned the plates.

I wonder what Mark will think when he finds out that I adopted Lauren.
