That's the Way ~ The Story Remains the Same Sequel

Chapter Twenty Five

AN:// Guys I finally had the time to update the story. I hope to update more since I wrote three more chapters.

            It's been two weeks since I've talked to Jimmy. He didn't even try to contact me. Well that's a lie. Two days ago I was outside of Freddie's house getting the mall when I spotted Jimmy coming up the block. Obviously I ran inside so he wouldn't think I was actually here. I watched him from the living room's side window going up the stairs and waiting for Sarah to answer. When she did, he started to ask her things that I couldn't really teal about. I do know that she didn't tell him that I was there or next door. I told her to tell him I was in a hotel room if he kept asking. She hugged him and closed the door when he left the front steps. My car was parked in a hotels parking lot a couple blocks away. I got the cheapest room in the hotel just to park there. I used a fake name so Jimmy couldn't find me.

In good news, the new album we made hit number three on the top billboard list and Do I wanna know? was playing all the time on the radio. We also got a nomination for a Grammy for best new artist, best new song and album of the year. It's quite a big computation for the two Grammy's but one is a piece of cake.

Back to Freddie. I've been staying with him and Mary. I didn't have anywhere else to go and Sarah's was too risky. Neither of them mined me staying here. Mary took Scar to the park and Freddie's at the studio. I don't know how I'm going to thank them. I'm probably going to make them dinner. Yeah that's what I should do. Make them a great dinner and also get out of their hair. I'm probably going to spend the rest of the week back home in Jersey. I don't want to annoy them and be in their way. They've dealt with Scar and I for a week. Plus I need to get out of the house. I can't be occupied in their house forever.

Around three, Freddie and Mary came back. I made them dinner for them. Tonight's dinner was Sweet Corn and Shrimp Risotto. Very simple. I was flipping through a magazine when I saw the recipe. I know it's going to be an early dinner.

"So how was Scar for you?" I asked Mary while sitting down to eat.

"She was wonderful" she squealed, "I love watching her. She's such a great baby."

"You can watch her whenever" I laughed.

"Hazel this is great" Freddie spoke with a mouthful of food.

"Thanks. It's just a form of thanks for dealing with me."

"It's no problem. Anytime you need to get away, come over."

After dinner, we were all in the living room watching whatever was on the television. Should I tell them I've been thinking about going back to Jersey? I should because it wouldn't be right to leave without telling them otherwise. They are too nice to do that.

"So I've been thinking about going back to Jersey for the rest of the week and leave like tomorrow."

"What are you going to do with Scar?" Freddie asked.

"Probably see if Jimmy's parents can watch her till I get back. I couldn't ask you guy or Sarah to watch her."

"I don't mind watching her" Mary said taking her eyes off the television.

"I can't do that to you."

"Don't worry Hazel. Go to Jersey. We can watch her."

"Really you don't-"

"Freddie take Hazel to the airport. Grab her things and make sure she leaves this country."
