CH 14: Lori Nell's NOT Dead

Okay, quick recap. So the Dr. says Lori Nell's dead, then Reba Ann finds her and thinks she's alive. CONTINUING THE STORY!

Reba Ann's POV:

I turned my back just for a second, and I saw someone bolt across the other side of the hallway. Lori Nell? No, Lori Nell's dead. But, the girl I saw had blond hair, and had somewhat of a tan. LORI NELL'S DEAD! I keep telling myself that, but something in my gut knows that the girl who I saw running to the other waiting room was Lori Nell.

"Mom, I just saw Lori Nell," I say to Mom.

"Lori Nell's dead, Reba, it's probably your mind playing tricks on you," Mom said.

"Not this time," I said. I ran down to the waiting room. I saw the girl who looked like Lori Nell crying. She looked up at me.

"Reba Ann, I'm still alive," Lori Nell said to me, "An older lady with my name died."

"I know Lori Nell," I said, "I know." I saw Mom come in with Grammy and Pappy.

"L-Lo-Lori Ne- Nell," Mom stammered, "I-is that re-really y-you?" Lori Nell looked up and sniffled.

"Yeah, I'm alive," Lori Nell said. Mom pulled her into a hug. Lori Nell's not dead.

"But, they told us you were dead," Grammy said.

"There was another Lori Nell Hart, who was about 95 who died," Lori said.

"Oh, God, I hate this hospital," Pappy said.

Reba's POV:

So Lori Nell is alive. Who was that older Lori Nell Hart?

"Can I go see Aunt Lori Ann please," Lori Nell asked.

"Yeah, let's go," Reba Ann said. I loved them. They both remind me of how Kyra and Carolina when they were younger. They always got along, and they still do.

When Reba Ann and Lori Nell got there, Lori Nell hid and told me to go in the room with her.

"Aunt Lori Ann, guess who wants to see you," Reba Ann said. Lori Nell came into the room. Lori Ann looked like she was gonna suffer cardiac arrest.

"Reba Ann Marie Hart, is this a trick," Lori Ann asked.

"No," Lori Nell said.

"If you're the real Lori Nell Hart, then what's your middle name," Lori Ann asked.

"Annemarie," Lori Nell replied.

"Get over here and give me a hug," Lori Ann commanded. Lori Nell obeyed and went to hug Lori Ann.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Lori Ann said.

"I am, too," Lori Nell said. Lori Ann looked at Reba Ann and me.

"Well don't just stand there like lost puppies, get in with the rest of the group," she commanded. So, Reba Ann and I got in the group hug. I was so happy to know that Lori Nell's not dead.
