7. Chapter 7: The Explanation

Hey guys, I am so very sorry to say that I have been so caught up with school work and everything that I am not too sure when I'll ever be able to post on here. I love this site and writing stories, but with school work and my book coming out sometime soon hopefully, I just don't have the time to write. The book that I will be publishing is a Sequal to the 1986 move, Deadly Friend, which for everyone who hasn't seen that movie, I uploaded it on my youtube channel and guess who the main character is... Matthew Labyorteaux, which you all probably know him as Albert Quinn Ingalls. But anyways, since That book is technically a fan fiction, it wouldn't be selling in stores, but I'll be selling it on EBay and locally, so I'll tell you guys when it'll be out. I also can't keep most of the proceeds for that book, so 75% of the proceeds will go towards great causes. Thanks and for now, here is the next chapter of Shall We Meet Again.

The two stood there, enjoying every moment of the hug.

When they both managed to let go of each other, they sat down in their seats at the small, round table.

"Gosh," Albert said, through his wet eyes and sweat trickling down his face. "It's been so long. But h... how are you here now? It doesn't make any sense."

Sylvia sighed and shook her head back and forth. "It's a long story."

Albert looked down at his pocket watch for the time. "Well, I have enough time. How about we discuss it over dinner, on me, for old friends reuniting."

"May I take your order?" a man asked, looking at the two.

They both ordered and Sylvia began talking when the waiter left.

"So, I guess I'll try and summarize the story so it will be easier for you to understand."

Albert nodded his head. "Okay."

Sylvia sighed."Well, the last time I saw you, I was fourteen. I still remember the conversation we had the night I fell from that ladder. I wanted to run away with you, I really did. It was a good plan. I just remember not being able to keep my eyes open anymore, so I fell asleep. When I woke up, everyone was gone. I remember my father coming into my bedroom and telling me that we were going to move to Sleepy Eye. He told me what the new plan was and I didn't want to go along with it, at all. I didn't want to move to Sleepy Eye, and I didn't want to leave you, but I had no choice. I wasn't even allowed to write to you." She took a deep breath. "The day we got there, I felt like something was off. Not about moving, but just off. So, I went to the doctor that worked here and he told me... that I had lost the baby."

Albert's jaw dropped and he felt tears forming in his eye sockets. "Oh, Sylvia... I am so so sorry. I wish I could do something."

"It's fine," she shivered. "It was a while ago anyway, so I've gotten used to it over the years." She thought for a second. "But I also don't think I was ready at the age of fourteen to have a child and raise it without a father and all."
