    "What's that you're holding in your hand?" Morgan looked over Loren's shoulder being nosy "I-it's nothing, I don't know." Loren said truthfully analyzing the paper once again, what secret could they have possibly known.

     "Anyways, I just came to make sure you were alright after the whole situation ya know?" Loren raised her eyebrow curious to know how he knew where she stayed, after the murder of her brother she thought that it was best that she stayed far away . "How do you know where I stay?"

"I asked your mom" Morgan stuffed his hands in his khaki work pants, after it got out that he was a gay doctor with AIDs they believed that it was best that he was let go, it was crucial of course but they felt as if he was a bad look for them. "Oh" Loren said blankly staring around at the stars and the full moon that shines above their head.

    "You know I'm really glad your test came back negative and that you ended up not really being pregnant." It's been months since Morgan even made eye contact with Loren, he never got a chance to let everything reach the surface, he automatically assumed everything was going to boil over.  "I'm glad too." She was jumping for joy on the inside but she played it cool, everything that happened with her and Morgan was left in the past.

Her and Morgan used condoms every time they had sex, if the condom would've broke then it was a strong chance that she would've contracted HIV as well. Luckily Morgan wasn't evil like Rodger, he had Loren's best interest at heart.

"Do you mind coming out to catch a drink with me?" Loren rolled her eyes then crossed her arms over her chest, she couldn't understand why he thought they were friends. "No" it was simple but Morgan took it just how she said it, with attitude.

     "So...I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to the wake, I was busy at work as you can see." Morgan laughed lightly rubbing his hand over his freshly cut hair. "Oh" Another blank response left Loren's mouth. "I'm not really in the mood to talk, I'll see you when I see you alright?"

"Hm, okay." Morgan turned on his heels to walk off but once he reached his BMW he had one more thing to get off his chest. "Be safe in there by yourself "

Loren couldn't figure out how she should take it, his words were simple yet deep and mincing. It made her wonder on what he meant but she decided not to stress herself over something that could be so little.

Once Loren got inside her house, she locked the door back then flicked on the lights to her living room, any time she left she'd leave the kitchen light on.

Loren pulled her butt long small faux locks into a high side ponytail, it was time for her to relax and get some work in on her book. Loren grabbed a bottle of Hennessy, her pink MacBook Pro and her silk pink robe then went to her bathroom.

She turned the hot water on, filling the tube with vanilla bubble bath soap. The jets from the tube massaged her back, calming her jumpy nerves.

"...I was lost for words, how could this.."

"How could this...you have writers block?" A voice, a voice that Loren thought she would never hear again, the shadow that laid behind her caused her to swallow hard in fear. "H-how'd you get in my house?" Her eyes connected with AJ, her brothers ex girlfriend and baby mom- they spoke on multiple occasion but she knew exactly what she was here for.

     "Why so shaky?" AJ trailed around Loren's cream tub, thinking of her next move. The emotions that were racing through her body were foreign, she would've never thought that it was going to be Loren who shot her child that night. Even more crazy - her brother ratted her out. "I'm not." Loren put a fake smile on, she didn't know who she was convincing AJ or herself, that she wasn't scared.
