Jan and Lana waited for Clark to bring there burgers to them. There was a
very akwardd scilence between both of them that Lana tried immediately to
break.
"So Jan, do they let you see movies at that orphanage?"
Jan nodded "If we are very good we get to go to the movies the last one we saw was two weeks ago. It was 'How to lose a guy in 10 days'"
Lana smiled "I love that movie"
"Matthew Macounhey is so hot!"
Lana laughed "Yeah"
Clark sat down next to a giggling Lana and Jan
"Let me guess" he said "Girl talk?"
"Yeah" Lana said
He gave Jan her burger and she thanked him
"So what have you guys been talking about?" Clark asked
"Girl talk" Lana winked at Jan, who chuckled.
After they were done, Clark and Lana drove Jan back to the orphanage. When they were walking in Jan turned to Lana.
"Despite the horrible explosion, this has been one of the greatest days I have had in a long time"
Lana shrugged "Why? All we did was go to Wendy's"
Jan smiled "It was a good change from the food they serve here, But I'm serious Lana, I've had a lot of fun today.... Can you please visit me again?"
She paused then added fastly
"If it isn't so much trouble.. I mean, you must have a busy schedule and.. And.."
Lana looked on at the girl's puppy dog eyes and put her hand on Jan's shoulder.
"Jan, don't worry. I'll come back"
Jan hugged her.
"Thank you so much Lana!"
Lana hugged the girl back, she felt so alone and devastated for some reason, Why did she almost cry when she asked Lana to visit her again? This girl was hiding a secret that Lana was determined to find out.
"How about I drop by at 4:00 tomorrow? We can go to the mall, You know, bond like a couple of girls" She joked
Jan laughed
"Thank you so much, Lana"
Jan went back to her room and waved goodbye to Lana who waved back to her. The lady from earlier walked over to Lana.
"Thank you so much for hanging out with Jan, she has had some problems in the past"
"Oh?"
"Yes, Her mother died when she was 2 and her father was a druggie, He got jailed when she was 4. She had bounced from foster home to foster home and when her dad did get the money to keep her, he beat her until she ran away and was placed here. All before she was nine"
Lana's eyes widen "How horrible"
The lady sighed "I know, but Jan is such a sweet kid, in spite of it all"
Lana smiled "I'm glad a can be a friend to her"
The lady smiled back
"Thank you, I'm sure she appreciates it"
"So Jan, do they let you see movies at that orphanage?"
Jan nodded "If we are very good we get to go to the movies the last one we saw was two weeks ago. It was 'How to lose a guy in 10 days'"
