* Patti's Pov
Since Greta left me in the bathroom at the diner i havent been myself
I ended up not going back to work on Tuesday and calling in sick on Wednesday . I have been crying in bed for the past 2 days. Sleeping, listening to music, reading , crying and ignoring Carson.- Patti Im home!
She came to knock on my door
- Patti , she said as she opened the door.
Im sorry i have been harsh but you knew she would leave again..
Dont let her bring you down
You can find someone else
And you know today Terry is coming thats a good news no?- Carson you dont get it ..
Can please just leave me alone?- No! This is not you plus you haven't eaten in 2 days im worried!
All you do is wallow and smoke- ...
- Fine a letter came in for you..
I immediately jumped out of bed praying it was Greta.
- Of course now you're up!
- Shut up and give me the letter !
- Fine Jesus here!
She gave to me and left
I didnt even have to look at the provenance , I had already recognized the hand writing and the smell of her parfum
The letter read:
Dear Patti,
I know I have hurt you deeply but you must know my love for you is never ending. I am writing from Chicago. Lesley and I have booked shows for the rest of the tour. She was very kind to me and hasnt ask questions about my sudden disappearance on Monday. I am sorry I ran away as I did but it scares me how much I can share with you.. it was getting to personal and I knew that your love for me was strong but I never imagined it like this. You are not the one I am scared of. Everyone including myself are the people that scare me. I dont want no harm towards you.. and thats why my dear we must cut this immediately at the root. Please find joy! Do not pity me or regret me, just be grateful of our time together! When you feel ready, whenever it may be, open the box and the letter and you may see what a beautiful and wonderful woman you have been to me. I miss you but you must fly away and be free of me!
Sincerely and always lovingly,
Greta
XxxHere I was again crying when suddenly the bell rang.
- Omg hi!!!
- I missed youuuuuuu
I knew that was Terry but i didnt have the force to go and see her. I fell back on my bed the paper near my nose smelling my departed loves perfume.
I heard someone enter my room and then i felt someone flopping on my bed.
- Hellooo!! im so happy to see you!
Ive rung but you didnt answer..- Yes very sorry about that, i said sniffing
- Woah what happened to your face!, she said after removing the letter
- Oh Terry!!, i cried out and hugged her as tight as i could
- Its okay.. shh im here!
What happened since the show?I pulled myself together and said:
- Carson kissed me.. I rejected her.. Greta came.. we slept together.. we had lunch... she told me a secret... got up and left... here read this
She read the letter Greta had written to me and said:
- Have you opened the box?
- No I couldnt put myself together to open it..
- Honey.. she is right.. you are 19 no parents and no husband! Live! Maybe life will bring you together again but you must live right then and now!
- I miss her so much Terry! I love her!
She took me in her arms and said:
- I know honey, I know..
After a silent moment she said:
- Want my news on strawberries? Maybe it'll cheer you up..?
I wiped my tears and answered:
- Oh my God!! I totally forgot! Yessss tell me everything
- Thats the smile i know and love!
She gently poked my noses which made me laugh.. I didnt realize how much I missed her! She is like my big sister.. Carson is younger than us so she doesn't have the same ways as Terry. Our ages dont matter but sometimes the gap is revealed on different matters! 17,19,22 doesnt seem that bad yet.. sometimes it is
- Cars come on!! Imma tell you guys everything!
She winked and i giggled!
- Is it safe for me to enter..? , said Cars
- Dont be ridiculous and mean Cars!!, said Terry rolling her eyes.
