It was night by the time we got back. We were at Lauren's house as I was dropping her off.

Lauren- So What now?

Madeleine- Now, we try to locate this George Hanker.

It was all silence with us then.

Lauren- Maybe he wanted to die.

It took me a second but without looking at her I said.

Madeleine- What.

Lauren- Jack Blaine. His girlfriend was killed on that same road, Forth of July one year earlier.

I looked at her in disbelief and looked back at the view of the rest of the neighborhood.

Lauren- Maybe he blamed himself. Maybe he was sitting on the road waiting for us to hit him.

Madeleine- Yeah if that'll help you sleep at night.

I said without looking at her with no emotion.

Silence.

Lauren- What happened between us. We use to be best friends.

I started fiddling with my fingers.

Madeleine- Things change Lauren.

Lauren- I- Miss you.

Silence again.

Lauren- Yeah-.

She got out of the car. She was so sad. If I could take back the moment. The way I acted so cold towards her I would.

I made sure she was out of the car and drove off. She stood on the side walk. Watching me leave.

Lauren opened the door to her modern house with the tv loud with sports on it.

She walked towards that sound which was coming from the living room.

Lauren- Hey dad.

He ignored her.

She headed to the kitchen for a glass of coke.

She got a can and poured it in a glass.

While she was doing so a person with the same. Outfit the person was wearing when they ran over Danny had on.

The person pulled their hook out. The shadow reflected the top of the steps.

Lauren drunk her soda and put her hands on her head out of stress.

She made her way upstairs.

Lauren got in her room and put her bag down and started changing into pajamas.

She looked at her trophy's from her fashion shows

Suddenly while she was looking at her shelf someone touched her shoulder making her..JUMP.

Celena- Hey has the washed out has been having a moment.

She walked over to her small oval star mirror holding her important sparkling crown she got to wear.

Lauren- What do you want.

Celena- Were doing inventory at the store tomorrow I need you there by 10.

Lauren- I can't. I'm in the final parade tomorrow.

Celena- Well dad put me in charge of the store and I need you there by 10.

Lauren sat down on the edge of her bed brushing her long luscious hair.

Lauren- The parade can't go on with its finals queen missing. It's tradition there's nothing I can do about it.

Celena- You and your hair.. so pathetic.
