Chapter 9- "I..Remember."
"Finally home." Mark sighed.
"Home sweet home," Lu replied.
Mickey unlocked the door and helped Lu inside. Lu took a few steps into the hallway with Mickey holding her up. Lu looked across the room and saw her bedroom.
"STOP!"
Mickey was a bit startled and looked at Lu.
"What is it Mom?"
Lu was very silent still staring at her red beaded curtains that lead to her bedroom. Lu pointed at the couch and Mickey and Mark helped her over without a word. She sat down and stayed quiet for another few minutes.
"I..."
"What Lu, what do want to say?"
"I...remember."
"Lu, you remember what happened?" Mickey asked softly
"Yes. I walked up to the door and unlocked it. I came in and turned around to lock the door. I heard my curtain rattle. I looked behind me and I saw her. I saw Aniesha. I saw the gun and put my arms on my face. I heard a BANG and then...I...I went to the floor. It hurt. I moved on my back to the phone and call 9-1-1. The operator said I should stay calm. Then I heard a knock on the door. The paramedics came in and...and..."
"What Mom?" Mark whispered.
"I saw Andy and a lot of people and noise. She said that I ...I would be fine after I said I was scared. I then woke up and saw Dana and everyone else." Lu explained as tears fell down her cheeks.
"It's OK Lu, it's all over and it won't happen again." Mickey replied comforting Lu.
"You are safe Mom."
"Thanks."
They all gave each other a hug and stayed on the couch together for a few minutes.
