How It Should Have Ended (Breaking Apart's squeal.)

His Flannel

Date: March 8th 2025

3:00pm

Lorraine's P.O.V

I pulled into Bryana's and Ashton's drive way.

I then took the keys out of the ignition.

I walked up to the porch and knocked on the door.

I heard all the kids giggling and screaming. The screaming was a good way, not fighting for once.

I heard Bryana's voice shout "Coming!!!!"

I shouted back "Okay." even though she probably didn't hear me.

Within seconds she opened the door.

She said "Hey, come in." and smiled.

I walked in and smiled out "Hi."

I saw Meghan come running over to me.
She cheered out "Mummy!!"

I picked her up as Faith was following her.

I smiled out "Hey, Meg."

She giggled then I placed her down.

I said "Hi, Faith."
She waved a little.
I know she's very shy, kind of like Bryana at times.

I said "Go play in Faith's room for now. We will go home room." to Meghan.

She said "Okay."

They then both ran away.

Bryana looked to me funny then giggled out "What's with the flannel? That wasn't with you this morning. Was it in your car? Either way its huge on you!"

I gulped my eyes widened realizing I had his flannel! Luke's flannel on!!
I felt a wave of anxiety coming to wipe me out!

She instantly saw me getting anxiety, basically having a giant anxiety attack.
Bryana started shaking my arm repeatedly and say my name repeatedly!
"Lorraine!!! Lorraine!!!" Bryana kept shouting as I was just standing there while I was in the middle of the anxiety attack.

I started to breathe heavy and even start shaking!

His flannel...
I said 'no' but he wanted me to have it on...
Why??
God!!

I looked down quickly and saw that his flannel was huge on me.
But the whole time I had it on it felt like it fit.
Just like when we were dating.

I was so lost.

After a few minutes of my panick attack....
I gulped once again then took a deep breathe and said "Bryana this is his flannel."

Bryana's eyes lit up with fear or mixed emotions.
She said "You mean Rahart's? So Rahart's flannel."
I knew, she knew it was Luke's but I know she didn't want to bring Luke up.
She's trying to keep my mind off it.

I shook my head trying my best to deny that its still Luke's flannel.

She said "Oh god.." knowing it was Luke's flannel.
I knew I couldn't avoid the topic of him anymore.
And was taking a long pause before continuing her sentence.

Bryana bit her lip then said "So its Luke's flannel.." trailed off. Reassuring this whole mess.

I nodded as I felt tears still filling in my eyes.

She came over and hugged me.
I hugged back after feeling my anxiety and emotions going through a roller coaster.

I felt a few tears then fall.
