Missing

chapter thirty seven

Here for her (pt. 2)

Luke's point of view

I learned that the boss picked up the cremated remains so it would be easier on Pandora, I decided to spend the day with her in bed and look after Riley. I had been sitting on the edge of the bed when I seen the boss standing outside of the room.

Mr. Jenkins: I hate to interrupt but your father is here Pandora.

Pandora: I don't want to talk with anyone right now.

Mr. Jenkins: Luke can I talk with you outside?

Luke: I'll be right back buttercup, can you feed our son?

I watched as she took the baby from me and began feeding him, I closed the door behind me and headed downstairs to talk with her dad and the boss.

President Hardy: hey, how is she doing?

Luke: not good, she doesn't want to see anyone right now but maybe she will change her mind when she hears your voice.

Mr. Jenkins: show him where her room is Luke.

Luke: I usually don't like to tell you no but she was feeding the baby when I walked out of the room.

Mr. Jenkins: okay, go make sure she's done.

Luke: yes sir...

President Hardy: I hope it's okay but her friends insisted on coming as soon as they heard. Maybe Britney can talk to her.

Mr. Jenkins: if she can get through to her, I hate seeing her the way she is.

I watched as her dad waved for her to get out of the limo and she rushed over here as fast as she could and I showed her what room Pandora was in.

I opened the door and seen her sitting on the bed while she continued feeding our son.

Luke: hey baby, there's someone here that wants to see you, do you want to talk with her.

Pandora: I just want to be left alone...

I walked into the room and sat down beside her and felt her gently place her head on my shoulder and seen Britney walk into the room.

Britney: hey Chica, come here girl.

I took our son from her and seen her hug Britney as she softly cried.

Britney: I know girl and I hate it for you. Do you want to see Theo? He come with your father and myself. Your father also wants to talk with you. Can you please come downstairs and see them?

Pandora: I can't go outside considering it happened in the front yard, can you have them come up here Brit?

Britney: of course, I will be right back.

Luke: I'm here for you buttercup.

Pandora: I just want to be left alone with you. Can we do that?

Luke: I can sneak you out the back door if you want to go somewhere.

Pandora: I love them but I don't want to keep being reminded of what happened, it hurts so much.

Luke: come on and we will go before they come up.

We quickly left and I watched as she climbed into my truck after grabbing our son. I wasn't sure where she wanted to go but if it got her mind off of what happened I would drive anywhere she wanted to go.
