March 24,1958

Elvis couldn't sleep all night, he keept tossing and turning. He woke up at 4am, and never came back to bed. I opened the curtians, letting some daylight in even though it was stormin' and made my way downstairs. Before I reached the bottom, I seen Elvis's hair he was sitting at the end of the stairs.

"Oh, hey." Elvis quickly looked up from me, His suitcase all packed by the front door. I sat down next too him, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"So, today's the day?" I questioned, he looked down at me whipping the tear that fell.

"I guess so, Mama still hasn't came outta her room. I wanna say goodbye, before I leave."He frowned, he pulled me tighter to him. I let my head fall on his shoulders.

"She'll come, I know it." I whispered, Elvis turned towards me cupping my cheeks.

"Danm, I'm gonna miss memphis." He half smiled, he Kissed me quick before we heard footsteps approach.

Glady's and Vernon came out, Vernon wrapped his arms around Glady's "Go on Glady's." He whispered, not so quietly.

"Mama, I thought I wouldn't have a chance." Elvis said tearfully, he stood up pulling me with him. He gave his Mother a tight hug, I heard both of them sobbing.

"Im sorry Elvis, I was selfish. I know you have to do this, and im proud of you."Glady's whipped her tears, Elvis kissed her cheek.

Elvis grabbed my hand tightly pulling me out front, Glady's and Vernon following behind. The Trip to the airport was horrible, Elvis keept whispering sweet things in my ear making me blush. He was not wanting to get out of the car but Vernon convinced him.

"Elle, I need you to keep Mama safe. You know those fans, I'll be seeing you in a month." Elvis told me, as we hugged. I nodded, He cupped my cheeks giving me a passionate kiss, I pulled him closer not wanting to let go.

I let out a loud sob, He pulled me tighter to him. "I know, I know. It's only for a little while, We'll be back together shortly."Elvis informed me, He whipped my tears giving me one last kiss.

"Be safe, please."I sobbed, Elvis liffed my chin giving me a quick kiss.

Fans formed around, so Elvis gave his mother a tight hug before he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Vernon, nodded at Elvis before hugging him. Elvis gave me another quick kiss before he picked his luggage up, walking up the plane steps.

"He'll be alright, He'll be alright."Vernon whispered, he wrapped his arms both around me and Glady's.

The next couple of night's we're lonley, Glady's and me got along so we got to know eachother much more. And I finnaly understood why she's so protected of Elvis.

"This was Elvis at 2 years old, Swinging that guitar."Glady's pilled a whole bunch of family photos onto her purple velvet bed spread, while she sobbed.

"He's beautiful." I whispered, Elvis was 14 just outside there apartment in downtown memphis

"You know, When you're your mother was pregnant with you, I was pregnant with Elvis. And we both knew that you two would be inseparable."Glady's wrapped her arms around me, a small tear escaped.

"You think, me and Elvis will always be together?"I questioned she gave me a smile.

"I know Darlin' God put you together for a reason"Glady's picked up all the photos, while I heard the telephone ring.

I quickly got up, Thinkin' that its Elvis. "Its been weeks baby, why haven't you called?" Elvis's voice echoed into the reciver.

I twirled the phone cord, sittin' n the counter "I dunno, I though you would call first."I replied. His beautiful laughter filled in my ears, I held back a tear.

"Well, I got some good news. You'll be comin' down sooner than I thought, I bought a house today! Baby it's beautiful, you're gonna love it."Elvis Told me, I jumped up and down telling him I couldnt wait to see him.

Elvis cut the phone call short, But in the back ground there was a female? After I heard that Elvis quickly told me he'd call me in the morning.
