chapter9:home away from home

Holly and elvis's parents drove back to Graceland after elvis got on the plane and left for Germany. His parents would be able to live on base with him after basic training but Holly couldn't since she wasn't married to elvis.

As they all got back to graceland the got out of the car and walked inside.

"Can I stay here for alittle?" Holly asked as they walked inside.

"Of course honey make you self at home." Gladys said giving Holly a hug before walking into the jungle room.

Holly walked up the stairs and walked until she reached the first door. She stopped before opening the door.

Holly started crying since she missed elvis and knew that it could have been the last time she saw him.

Holly walked into the room the scent of elvis filled her nose wich her made her cry harder.

She laid down on his bed and cuddled with one of his pillow and cried until she fell asleep out of crying so hard she wore herself out.

Holly woke up and looked at the clock it read 4:35 am. She slowly got up from the bed and walked to elvis dresser and pulled out one of his white shirts and took her dress off and slipped his shirt on. She walked out of his room and quietly walked down the stairs to the kitchen to make sure she didn't wake anyone in the house up.

She grabbed a glass from the cabinet and filled it with tap water from the sink.

She almost dropped it when she herd the phone ring. She quickly rushed to it and picked it up.

"Hello presley residents."

"Darling?" The man on the phone asked

"Oh elvis, I've missed your voice." Holly says with excitement.

"Darlin I've missed you too." Elvis says with his raspy accent.

"Is everything okay why are you calling so late?" Holly says with fear and concern in her voice.

"Yeah everything if fine, I forgot about the different time zones, what time is it there?"

Holly looks at the clock.

"It's 4:50 am"

"Oh I'm sorry did I wake you?"

"Oh um no I was in the kitchen getting water."

" can't sleep either?"

"Not really. I miss you elvis."

"I miss you to darling. Is momma and daddy up?"

"No they already went to bed."

" well I'm glad. My momma worries to much, she fears I'm ganna die here in Germany."

"Everyone is elvis, we want you home and safe."

"Baby I would do anything to see you but I can't."

" I know I just wanna see you again, it's nice to hear your voice though." Holly says as she's about to cry.

"Oh darlin don't cry."

Elvis hears one of his army buddies call for him.

"Darlin I have to go, I love you holly."

"I love you too elvis." Holly says before putting the phone down.

Holly pours the water in the sink and walks to the jungle room. Elvis spent alot of time in here playing on his guitar and singing.

Holly sat on the couch and thought about elvis and there life in the future and about how they would get married and have children running around as he sang songs and danced. With those thought in her head she fell asleep.

**************************************
When Holly woke she was still in the jungle room but there was a blanket on her. Gladys must have walked in here and saw that she was sleeping and put a blanket on her.

Holly walked to the kitchen where she saw Gladys making breakfast.

"Good morning darlin." Gladys says as Holly walks in.

"Good morning gladys."

Holly looks down at what she's wearing and released she's wear elvis's shirt that gose down right below her butt. She pulls the shirt down so it covers alittle more.

"Oh darlin your fine its just us in the house Vernon when to the store and shouldn't be back for a few." Gladys says as she see Holly pull the shirt down.

Holly walks over to Gladys to help her with breakfast.

"Do you need any help?" Asked Holly.

"Oh um yes can you be a dear and grab the butter from the fridge."

Holly walks to the fridge and grabs the butter.

"Whatcha makin?" Holly asks as she grabs the butter.

"Peanut butter banna sandwiches there elvis's favorite." Gladys says as she grabs the butter from Holly.

Holly watches Gladys make the sandwiches making sure she remembers how to make them for when elvis gets back.

"Do you want anything to drink?" Holly asks as she walks to the fridge to grab her some orange juice.

"Yeah can you get me a beer it's at the bottom of the self." Gladys says as she's turned the stove on.

Holly grabs a beer for Gladys and the bottle of orange juice for herself.

She grabs a glass from the cabinet and pour orange juice into it. Then she grabs the bottle opener. She gives the opened beer bottle to Gladys.

Ever since elvis left Gladys had started drinking more. Holly didn't tell elvis that since she didn't want him to worry.

Holly and Gladys walked to the dinning room and ate the sandwiches.

"Wow these are really good." Holly says as she takes a bite.

"Elvis would always ask for them when he was younger. If he could he would live off of them."

After they were done Holly helped Gladys clean the dishes by drying them and putting them away.

Holly went exploring since elvis didn't show her all of the rooms as she was exploring she found the attic she walked up the stairs and started looking around as she was looking around she found alot of stuff from when elvis was a baby.

She heard a noise and turned around she saw elvis's grandma who he called doger.

"Holly dear what are you doing up here?" Doger says as she walks closer to Holly.

"Oh I was just looking." Holly says a bit timid.

"Come now dear, elvis doesn't like people up here." Doger says as she take Holly's arm and walks her down the stairs.

Holly walked to elvis room since it was getting late and she was tired from all the exploring she had been doing all day.

Holly got ready for bed and layed down under the covers and cuddled the same pillow she cuddled last night. It made her feel closer to elvis since he couldn't be there becuase he was in Germany.

Holly turned the TV on and watched it until she fell asleep.
