Louis Frye: A Lackadaisy Oc Story

Return To The Little Daisy

Walking to the Little Daisy, an uneasy feeling clenches at my stomach. My mind races, searching for the right words to say. Turning a corner, I spot smoke and my heart races. I sprint towards the source, which turns out to be the Little Daisy. As I attempt to rush inside, an unknown person restrains me. Helplessly, I watch the building collapse into a pile of ashes. Suddenly, I feel something pressed against my head, and the sound of a gunshot jolts me awake.

Louis: AH!

Gasping for breath, I find myself in my bed. It was just a nightmare. Climbing out of bed, I walk to my mirror and lock eyes with my reflection, contemplating what to say to Mitzi when I see her later today.

Louis:...

After a brief shower, I dress and step outside. The sun is shining, and the sight of people out and about brings a smile to my face. With my hands tucked into my pockets, I start walking towards the Little Daisy. Turning the corner, I glance up and see no sign of smoke, a wave of relief washing over me. Taking a deep breath, I continue walking towards the building. As I reach the entrance, I spot the car pulling into the garage. Deciding to enter through the garage, I slip inside. Rocky and Freckle emerge from the car, talking amongst themselves. I can't resist the urge to playfully startle them.

Rocky: He should be here soon.

Freckle: I hope so.

Sneaking up behind them, I break into a grin.

Louis: Boo!

Their startled reactions amuse me, and I burst into laughter. Rocky playfully lands a punch on my shoulder.

Rocky: Don't do that.

Louis: Okay, I won't.

Freckle: You feeling better?

Louis: Yeah. Still a bit down, but aside from that, I'm okay.

Rocky wraps me in a hug.

Rocky: I missed you.

Louis: I missed you too.

With that warm exchange, we start walking toward the bar. Despite a lingering sense of unease, I push myself to continue. Arriving at the bar, we spot Ivy engaged in conversation with Viktor. Clearing my throat, I capture their attention. Ivy rushes over, embracing me in a hug. When she lets go, I shift my gaze to Viktor, who appears visibly angry by my presence.

Ivy: It's great to see you back, Louis.

Louis: It's great to be back.

My gaze lingers on Viktor, but he avoids eye contact as he goes about his bartender duties. I then turn to Rocky and Freckle.

Louis: Do you guys know where Mrs. M could be?

Freckle: Most likely up in her office.

Louis: Thank you.

I hastily leave the room but then promptly return, realizing I don't actually know where her office is.

Rocky: I'll take you there.

Rocky leads me to a stairway.

Rocky: Up these stairs and it's the first day on the right.

Louis: Thank you.

Following Rocky's guidance, I locate the door to Mitzi's office. Hesitation grips me, and I contemplate fleeing before she answers. However, I gather my resolve and knock on the door. My palms are sweaty as I clasp them, anxiously waiting. When Mitzi opens the door, I manage a feeble smile, but her teary eyes tell me that the wounds from Atlas's passing are still fresh. I move forward for a hug, but Mitzi turns away and retreats into her office without a word. I follow her into the office, but she avoids eye contact, leaving me with a sense of unease. I attempt to convey my feelings.

Louis: I missed you, Mitzi.

She turns slightly in my direction, her expression still distant.

Louis: You saved me; please allow me to save you.

Her eyes fill with tears, and she finally turns around. I open my arms for a hug, and this time, she accepts it, clinging to me as her emotions pour out. We stand there for multiple seconds before we stop hugging.

Mitzi: Thank you, Louis.

That day, I made a solemn promise to Mitzi. I vowed to stand by her side, to support her through any hardship, even if it meant facing hell itself. She's become like a mother to me, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
