Two weeks later

I never left LA, in fact I wasn't ready to leave.

I felt I needed to stay here, to at least see my mom one more time even if it wasn't her body I wanted to be with her, her soul. As creepy as that sounds that's all I'm here for, I miss her so much its crazy.

I've gotten better about it though.
I'm starting to understand that this stuff happens and there was nothing I could really do to stop it and I know she wants me to be happy.

I hope she's happy up there.
A week ago all I did was stay in my hotel room and cry. I didn't move from my bed which is really gross considering that meant no showers or anything. The only time I got up is when I absolutely had to use the bathroom.

Since I'm better about this I decided to actually get dressed and go out today.
I curled my long blond hair and added mascara. I got dressed in a navy blue and maroon long tee shirt and some black leggings with a red and blue scarf.
I added some bracelets and left to my moms store.
I wanted to see her one last time and I knew she'd always want to be there.

I walk into the store and JC took over.
"How's the store?" I ask and smile. He was standing at the counter waiting for customers.

"Its great I hope Lucy's proud."

"I'm sure she is." I say.

He looks at me with a smile for awhile then looks away again.

"How have you been?"

"Honestly I was the biggest mess ever but now in getting better I guess."

"That's good. Its better for you to get out, you know?"

I nod. "Do you live here?" He adds.

"Oh um no, actually I need to leave back to Houston soon."

"Houston?" He asks and chuckles.

I nod. "My home town! Aw I miss it." He says.

"I love it there." I say.

"Me too. I'm going back down in a couple weeks."

"I'm going back on Thursday I think but maybe I'll see you around then." I say.

"Yeah.. Maybe I'll see you around."

I began to walk out the door and we saw something again outside.
It was two guys wearing black and they looked quite similar to the other robbers.

"Hey." I whisper and back away.

"Shit." He grumbles.

"Sh!" I say.

He locks the front doors and turns all the lights out and runs to the back emergency exit in the closet.

"I need you to be quiet." He says.

"Okay." I say.

Without warning he picks me up bridal style and runs me out the door.

We passed them but they didn't see us.

JC called the police but they were gone by then.

"I'm so sorry Lucy." JC whispers and puts me down.

"JC stop. I'm sure she's proud of you."

"For what?"

"You basically just saved my life."

He smiles to himself.
"No problem." He laughs.

"Well I'm gonna go. You should take the rest of the day off."

"And do what?" He asks.

"We could hang out as friends!" I say excitedly.

"Yes!" He says.

The rest of the day we hung out at my hotel.
