Just let me in [Discontinued]

Chapter 14

Laura and I were up in my-- I mean her room and just sat on the bed just talking and getting to know each other.

Laura: Favourite topping on a pizza

Ross:(thinks) Meat definitely and some veggies here and there

Laura:(laughs a bit) Wow

Ross: What about you?

Laura: Cheese, pepperoni and.... yeah some veggies

Ross: Meat?

Laura: Depends on how I'm feeling

I don't get why people think she's so cruel and mean, she's actually really nice and sweet and awesome once you get to know her more, and also when she allows to let you in.

Laura: Cinderella or Ariel?

Ross: Ariel, duh!

Laura:(laughs a bit) Really?

Ross: What?

Laura: I didn't think you'd have a favourite princess

Ross: Well it's either Mulan or Pocahontas for me

Laura: Why?

Ross: They're fighters which I find totally awesome! And they have animal friends!

Laura: So does Snow white and princess Aurora

Ross: Yeah well are they friends with a hair braiding raccoon and a talking dragon? I don't think so!

Laura just laughs her head off throwing it back. :)

Ross: So is it okay for you to stay here for a while?

Laura: It's way way WAY better than a park bench

Ross: Well thanks (chuckles a bit)

Laura:(nods) So you don't have any siblings?

Ross:(Shakes his head) Nope, nothing

Laura: Do you feel lonely?

Ross:(nods) All the time (sighs) but I gotta get use to it though

Laura: Why?

Ross: My parents are really busy with their job, I know they try to spend time with me as much as they can but (sighs) yeah

Laura: I always thought that you get to spend time with your family whenever you want to

Ross:(shakes his head) My parents do need the money so yeah

Laura: Aren't your parents loaded though?

Ross: I'm still puzzled on that too

Laura:(chuckles)

Ross:(Smiles) Back to the game. My turn?

Laura: I'm pretty sure, I'm so lost in this now

Ross:(chuckles) Alright, what was your mom and dad like?

Laura looked down. I know it may seem like I'm being a huge jerk now but I just want her to let out everything that she needs to let out.

Ross: I know it's out of your comfort zone but I just want you to let everything off of your chest so you don't have to keep everything inside

Laura:(sighs)

Ross:(rubs her forearm) Take your time

It took Laura a minute or two but she finally spoke her mind.

Laura: My parents were so loving to me and to each other. Even though we didn't have much, they still made us have cherish moments (sighs) B-But m-my mom just had to leave for work

Laura started to spill tears but wiped them away as soon as they fell.

Ross: Where did your mom work?

Laura: S-She worked for a restaurant that didn't do well in the business, it didn't do well with paying their employees either but it was the only place that would hire my mom

It was just the beginning of her story and it was so sad.

Laura: T-There was a big fire in the kitchen, everyone ran out while they could

Ross: That's great

Laura: I'm not done Ross

Ross: Sorry

Laura: There were some kids in the restaurant still, their parents were shouting for them and my mom heard, for her being her kind hearted self, she ran back inside the restaurant to grab them

Tears were trickling down her face, but she didn't bother to wipe them away this time.

Laura:(smiles a bit) S-She saved them (frowns) but not herself

Her back story is so sad.

Laura: W-When my mom died, my dad lost it. My mom was his best friend, his partner, his lover, his everything, they were a team and without my mom, my dad was just a lost puppy in this world (shakes her head) He kept on coming home late night drunk, I'd hide in my room hoping he wouldn't break in like he's done to me a few times

I was starting to tear up as well. This story just has so much feeling to it. Her voice is just filled with sadness and hurt.

Laura:(eyes full of tears) H-H-H

Ross: Shhh.... it's alright Laura (rubs her back)

Laura:(shakes her head) It's not Ross. It's not! My parents left me when I was so young! M-My dad almost killed his own daughter and parents!! H-He's been in jail for years now and possibly will be for the rest of his life!! I-I always get made fun of!! I'll always be a orphan! I have no parents to love me! I have no friends! I have no-nothing! No one loves me! No one cares for me! People want me dead! And right now, I'm starting to agree!

Everything that she's kept inside of her are finally out, and she's able to be free with it, but she will always have a hole where the love and care and trust was before. She was crying her eye sockets out. I pulled her into my chest and give her one of my big killer comfort hugs. People need people who love and care for them, you can't live without that, it's a huge priority in life.

. . .

I got Laura to calm down. She fell asleep a little while before in her bed. I covered her in a big fuzzy warm blanket and sit on the other side of the bed just staring at her. All I could think about is her story. I just can't get it out of my mind, it's crazy. I can't help it. I get up and walk over to my work desk and grab my drawing book and a pencil, then start working. Yeah, I'm a drawer. I've been drawing since, who knows how long, I just know that I draw on how I feel or think strongly about, sometimes I'll even draw my favourite book characters and just some things of my imagination. I start drawing a face and then add on and on and on. Surely enough, I drew Laura and her family as they were before, a loving family. Maybe Laura doesn't have family or friends anymore but that's all gonna change, and I'm depending my life on that.
