Back to Lyddia. 

The next morning Lyddia was getting ready to leave when a dark red car pulled up. She stopped walking and turned to the car.

“Nolan please stop following me”. She said anxiously

She watched as the car door opened. Then an old man with grey hair and a tan stepped out. A sigh of relief filled over her. 

“Good morning Mr. Rose” she said smiling

Mr. Rose looked at her and smiled.

“Top of the morning to you Lyddie”. Said the kindhearted man with a red narrow nose. 

Lyddia thought maybe she was going insane thinking about Nolan, she had to head to work. She walked a few more miles til she got to the bus stop, she hopped on. She noticed the driver was a grouchy old lady with bright red hair. She glared at Lyddia as Lyddia sat down in the back. Lyddia looked around the bus barely anyone was on the 9:00 AM which was unusual. Usually the bus was crowded every time. 

Finally the bus stopped at the 

“Stanley Morrison Institution For The Insane”. 

Lyddia got a job there a while volunteering for school. Crazy people fascinated her. After Lyddias five hour shift , she saw Nolan walking in the hallway headed towards her.

“Nolan? Is that really you” she said trying to not make the same mistake as earlier

Nolan walked closer to the front desk to look at Lyddia he then noticed she had a badge on that said assistant nurse.

“Yes, Lyddie darling, I came to visit you at work, and give you a ride home.”  he said with a slight grin.

Lyddia thought he somehow was given her work address and he had followed her. But the real reason was Nolan had no idea Lyddia worked there. Nolan only visited his mother, he did it a few times a month to check in on her and make sure she wasn’t alone. Suddenly a tall blonde girl stood up from the desk next to Lyddia. 

“So, this is the infamous Nolan. Nice to meet you I am Ellie.” said the girl extending her hand to be shaken

“Right,” Lyddia said “Nolan this is my bestfriend and co-worker Ellie… She was going to give me a ride home but I guess she is free now if your still giving me a ride home.” Lyddia said awkwardly

Nolan nodded. Then he extended his hand to shake Ellie’s hand. Thats when he noticed Ellie was the spitting image of his mother, with blonde hair, and green eyes like his father. He watched her closely and saw Ellie had a small birthmark that looked like a heart. Ellie a bit weirded out walked away, Nolans eyes followed her, but in other persons perspective he was staring at her ass. Lyddia sure as hell saw that too. So she punched him. It was a hard but quick punch. It wasn’t however quick enough for Nolan to flashback to his childhood again.

This time he remembered his mother’s curly blonde hair held up in a bun watching in horror as Nolan was continuously beaten. Nolan feeling his fathers force and abuse in that moment, thinking of his helpless mother just watching him be abused but not doing anything. Caught up in the moment Nolan grabbed Lyddia’s wrist and squeezed tight, Lyddia looked up at him in shock her lip trembled in fear. Nolan noticed this and quickly let go. They then both got into the car and drove away. 

During the car drive, Lyddia was swaying her fingers in the cool breeze, Nola kept his eyes on the road, and his hands on the wheel. 

“Can we talk about what happened earlier?” Lyddia said a bit worried.

“There’s nothing to talk about my dear,” Nolan replied still paying attention to the road.

Lyddia was done with him ignoring her. So she grabbed the steering wheel rom, and the car spun.

“What the hell?! Lyddia! “ said Nolan angry

“Oh shut up you big baby we are in the countryside we will be fine” she said in a mocking tone. 

Nolans father used to call him a “cry baby” and many worser names, but it still hit close to home for Nolan. Not thinking Nolan slapped Lyddia across the face.

“Why do you hate me” Lyddia said on the verge of tears.

At this moment Nolan saw his younger self in Lyddia. He had only one thought, he could never be like his father. He quickly wrapped his arms around her and hugged her and held her for a minute.

“I- I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you baby, I’m so sorry, Oh god what can I do to make it up to you” Nolan said also on the verge of tears and realizing he had messed up. 

Lyddia quickly pushed him off and unlocked the car and got out. Now more cars where coming which was unusual for the countryside roads. And only now was a car headed straight for Lyddia.
