From Rags To Riches: Chapter Forty-Eight

Soon enough the visualization showed that of a younger looking Ralph appearing somewhat messy haired, seen wearing a green-ish colored jacket that was buttoned up with dark blue jeans and big brown boots; as he was seen rushing throughout the rain, having been recently released from prison, he had tried to contact his family and ask them if he could stay with them, but his family basically hung up before they gave him an answer; and although technically they didn't say anything, Ralph knew most likely that meant "no" but he was desperate, he was scared and he wanted to find a place to stay at least for a little bit, so he told himself maybe if he arrived at his parent's house IN PERSON they wouldn't be able to turn him away, and then maybe allow him to stay with them, remembering where his family had lived; he managed to make his way towards the street, then towards their house; before quickly approaching the doorway leading into the house in the pouring down rain, as he began to knock on the door.

"Hello!?.."

"......" But nobody came to the door, as Ralph shook his head noticing a car in the driveway; he shook his head, as he slammed his fist on the door again before repeating.

"HELLO!...mom DAD?... anyone?"

"........"

"Come on, I KNOW you're here! your car is in the driveway!" Ralph yelled with sadness, as he shook his head; and soon added.

"I've got nowhere else to go, PLEASE... I didn't do anything wrong ..it was just a whole big mess up that ended up making me be sent to jail! .....please, come on; just let me stay JUST for the night!"

"............"

"....................."

"HELLO?" He spoke out trying to get someone to answer it.

Soon enough the visualization changed to that of the present day Ralph, as he was seen writing down something on a piece of paper in his shop; with Anna seen in the distance working on putting some shoe's away, with other employee's around the area doing their own thing's.

Anna couldn't help but take notice into something strange about Ralph, he seemed somewhat distracted as he was writing down some information on the paper; and she felt sorry for him, she knew he wanted to help her get her book published but she wondered to herself at what cost? to deal with the woman who basically ruined his life?
