Jordan patted her head. She wasn’t talking much as Lori cried, but Lori suspected the only thing that Jordan wanted to say was, “I told you.” Lori had cried when Drew walked out. When she thought she had cried herself out, she picked up the phone and called Jordan, but from somewhere more tears came. Jordan come over with her four-year-old son, named Guy but called Classic. Classic climbed into Lori’s lap and promised that everything was going to be okay. They were here to help. Classic sat there until she stopped crying again. Once the tears stopped, Classic, satisfied that his job was done, crawled down and started playing with his dinosaurs. “What do I do from here?” Lori asked. “I would finish your blog.” “Why? Me and …show more content…
Denim, never taking his eye off the toys, came over and bumped Lori’s shoulder then jumped up on her head. “Knock him down,” Jordan laughed. “No, he is protecting me. Why get rid of my protector?” Classic and Jordan stayed as late as they dared, but they had to go meet the school bus for Jordan’s oldest, Casey. Lori proofed the letter to the adoption agency again and ran it through two online proofers. If nothing else, her letter would be grammatically perfect. It felt flat to her, but she didn’t have anything on the inside to give. She was surprised to see Brenda’s car in the driveway thinking she would be at work. She drove by the house once wanting to chicken out and broach the subject without Brenda. “No! No! No!” Lori beat her hand on the steering wheel. She would not get an answer by running away and pretending everything was okay. She circled back and parked in her father’s drive. Her father seemed to be startled when she opened the door. “Hi Sunshine, whatcha doin ' here?” “I brought your letter for the adoption agency,” Lori said with so much forced cheerfulness that Michael took her by the hand and led her to the kitchen table. Lori saw Brenda at the sink. Her father’s wife glanced at her, took in Lori’s face and turned back to the dishes. “Something is wrong. What is it?” Michael demanded. “Drew and I broke up.” His face softened. “Aww, Sunshine. What happened?” Lori played with the letter she
Lori had made a joke of the kids grandmother dying, and her father had said that he was ashamed of the kids. This happened on the walk home from the funeral. This shows that Lori doesn’t have any trust for her father, and finds irony in the fact that he is saying he’s ashamed. She doesn’t think he is responsible and has the right to say he's ashamed of anyone.
With Judy’s eyes and mouth gaping open, she nodded her head yes. “I.. I’m so sor….” Gideon pulled Judy back to him, planting his lips on Judy’s before she could finish her sentence. Judy’s instinct kicked in and
Louise went to her room where she tries to process the news. It is clear that she is sad, she knows that her husband was a good loving man. But then she recognized that she finally could be free, and she will be able to make her own life by her own decisions and desires.
Lydia Atkins, Laurianna’s mother, came out of the next bedroom, briskly blow-drying her hair. “Stop whining baby and just straiten up things before you leave for school. I would help but I’m late for work.”
Hazel fell to the floor in tears. Sobbing for her son, whom she barely got to know. Hoping he wasn’t gone forever. Yet she
As Pa opened the door, his ginger hair and bright green eyes entered my vision. How are his eyes still bright during this storm? He’s the boss of William and Rose. He complained that they haven’t worked in three days. I remember his exact words. “Charles good to see you!” He said to Pa, shaking his hand. “Good to see you too. Why have you stopped by Ry?” Pa replied. “Willy and Rose haven’t worked in three days, and I ain’t gettin’ my money! I’m sure you ain’t gettin’ any money either. May I borrow them for the day?” Pa looked back at William and Rose. They’re faces in fear. Pa nodded, let out a sigh and turned to look back at Ryland. “Yes you may. But please, keep them safe out there and bring them back at 5pm sharp.” I snapped out of my thoughts. “Pa? What time is it?” Pa looked at his watch on his left wrist. “It’s 4:49pm sweetie. Your brother and sister will be here shortly. Well, I hope so.” Pa walked upstairs to talk to Ma and left me sitting there alone, at the kitchen table. About seven minutes later, there’s a knock at the door. I answer it and see a dirt covered William and a dusty covered Rose. “Willy? Rose? Are you guys okay?” I ask as they start walking to the kitchen. “Yes, we’re fine. Just very tired.” Rose says. I look back at the white door and see that I’m still holding it open. Ryland then appears. “Oh, I was expecting your father to be at the door Kathleen!” He let out a little laugh, then coughed. “They both worked very hard today. Well.. just tell your father that they both have four dollars in their hands.” He says. “Will do. See you soon Mr. Masterson.”, I say as I close the door and walk to the kitchen seeing two tired, stressed hard
She nearly slide out of her seat when the car came to a stop, she lifted her head and looked at the male. “Worn someone when you are going to break the car so damn sudden.” She shouted at him. “I could have been killed.” She rolled her eyes. She knew she really wasn’t going to die but she could get badly hurt. “Why did you stop anyways we aren’t…” She turned her head to look out the window, she cocked her head to the side. She arched her brow a little. “Now that’s something you don’t see every day.” She spoke aloud so every in the car could hear
Her whole world was crashing down. It what seemed like only a split second, her best friend’s father had been condemned to death. Someone who she considered to be like a father was going to be taken away, ripped away from her.
“Why weren’t you watching her!” demanded Mr. Donovan. His face was red with fury, but suddenly got emotional. his daughter had died and know one knew who did it. He started bawling on the floor.
“Ugh…”, Jackie sighed, “Joe...They killed my parents. My parents are dead”. I was in complete shock. I had no idea something so tragic had occurred. I just thought that Jackie was overreacting about something minor as she usually does.
I was having my normal conversations with Allie as I usually did when I heard my door creak a little, I turned around to see my father sitting there with a puzzled look on his face and I was lost for words just as he was. “Holden”, he said pausing for a while to gather his thoughts, you do
The headmistress no longer had to wonder from where young Miss Charlotte had received her attitude problem. She readjusted herself in her chair and cleared her throat. “At any rate, I’m glad to finally see that Mr. Smith had decided to participate in his children’s education. I see Ms. Tyler fairly often for various offenses, but this is the first time all of your children have been disruptive in the same day,” she directed at Mr. Smith.
She did not believe that she had any other options. Before Brenda was convicted, she put her son up for adoption. While she was in prison, the adoption parents told her that her son died. She was devastated and did not know what to do. Furthermore, Brenda’s son found her and started sending letters, pictures, and calling her to get in touch.
She looked down at the coffee table to see a brown box filled with a few things. On top, she could see some family photos in gold color frames. “Thank you,” she said to him. She walked over to her father’s chair and sat down. She became aware of an uneasy feeling around him and wanted as far away from him as possible. It may have come from her dad complaining about him for a long time. She was now wishing for her uncle to show
“Bye mommy and daddy, I love you!” said little Charlotte. Right before they left, she ran up to the door and gave them both a big hug. They returned the hug, squeezing her tightly, before walking out into the garage and starting the car. Charlotte looked out the window, watching her parents pull out of the driveway. Little did she know that she would never see her dearest parents ever again.
