Ch. 11: Death

Melanie woke up at 6:30. - How did I do that? Its vacation! - she asked her self. - Oh well I have a lot to do today. - she smiled and rolled out of her bed. She planed on going to the hospital and making a scene in front of Reggie.

-----

Hours later Lars woke up he went down stairs. Twister was reading an old magazine.

Twister: "Hey Lars where you going?"

Lars: "To visit Reggie."

Twister: "Oh...Bye."

Lars: "I'll be home soon."

Twister: "Like yesterday?"

Lars: "Look Twist I'll make it up to you, I'll be home soon then we'll talk."

Twister: "Okay."

Lars walked out the door. It was hot out, not just hot out but humid as well. Lars was thankful when he entered the air conditioned hospital. He asked the women at the front desk were Reggie's room was and if she was awake.

Receptionist: "She is in room 302 on this floor just go down this hall way and take a left. She's awake and she's doing quite well."

Lars thanked the receptionist and went on his way. He stopped in the door way, Reggie was sitting on a big leather arm chair staring out the window. Lars walked over and put a hand on her shoulder.

Lars: "How you feeling?"

Reggie: "Don't touch me!"

Lars backed away as Reggie sprang out of her chair.

Lars: "Reggie...it's just me."

Reggie: "Who the hell do you think you are!"

Lars stared at her blankly for a moment. "I'm Lars?"

Reggie: "Don't play dumb with me!"

Lars: "I'm not! What's going on?!"

Reggie: "That's what I'd like to know!"

Lars: "Reggie what's wrong?"

Reggie: "Everything, that's what!"

Lars: "What do you mean?"

Reggie: "I saw you with that other girl."

Lars: "Other girl?"

Reggie: "You know what I'm talking about."

Lars: "No I really don't Reggie."

Reggie: *starting to cry* "You were with a girl yesterday afternoon."

Lars: "Melanie...? What did she look like?"

Reggie: "I don't know, she had brown hair."

Lars: "Aww...Reggie that was Melanie.... She's a girl from my alcoholic group. I was introducing her to Twister when Otto gave me your note. We were looking for you." He said walking over and hugging her.

Reggie: *sniffling* "Promise?"

Lars: "Of course. I love you, No one can change that."

Lars looked into Reggie's eyes and kissed her softly. She smiled.

Lars: "Come on, lets get outa here."

Reggie: "I dunno...should I wait for my dad? He only works until three today."

Lars: "Well... It's twelve now. You can check out of here and then stay at my house until 2:30."

Reggie: "Sounds good to me!"

They walked to the front desk and Reggie signed the check out form. The two were walking down the street when they heard foot steps from behind. They turned around and Melanie ran into Lars, nearly knocking him over. She gave him a big kiss on his lips! (Eww Melanie germs lol)

Lars: "Melanie?"

Reggie: "What the hell?"

Melanie: "Lars who is this?"

Reggie: "This is his girlfriend....And this is my fist."

Reggie punched Melanie in the face. Lars just stood there amazed, trying to hold back his laughter. Melanie fell to the ground and looked up at Reggie. Reggie just took Lars by the hand and they went on there way back home.

----

They got home Twister was at the table. He was crying.

Lars: "Twister, what's wrong?"

Twister: " I... I have something to tell you...."

Lars: "What?"

Twister: "The hospital called...."

Lars: "Yeah...?"

Twister: "Well... In the fire...Last night...four people died."

Lars: "And...?"

Twister: "Mom was in that building. She was one who died."
