Ch.5 Follow Your Heart
Later that Night
Lu arrives at the restaurant
Ben: Thanks for coming Lu
Lu: No problem
Ben: I know what you said yesterday when I asked you to come with me but I just have to ask again since u had time to think overnight
Lu: Ben I'm sorry but my answer is the same as yesterday
Ben: Ok then I have no choice…with a smile on his face
Lu: no choice for what?
Ben: Kneeling down on one knee and holding a ring case in his hand Lu will you marry me?
Right when he asked her Lu woke up
Lu: OMG! Lu jumped up from her sleep ad she was sweating like crazy, she looked around to see where she was and she realized she was at home in her bed dreaming. Oh no so it wasn't real whispering to her self, so she walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water and she went back to bed.
The next morning...
Lana enters Lu's office
Lana: Good morning Lu
Lu: Good morning Lana
Lana: it looks like you had a good night
Lu: No but I had a good dream smiling
Lana: Spill it girl
Lu: I had a dream last night about Ben proposing to me!
Lana: and what did u say?
Lu: that's the bad part about it…I don't know
Lana: what do u mean?
Lu and Lana at same time you woke up! Laughing
Lu: yeah but like we were in the same restaurant we're going to tonight. Aint that a little creepy?
Lana: No girl that's what u call lucky, so what if he propose to u tonight...what will u say?
Lu: I think I'm going to say no
Lana: why kid?
Lu: cuz he wants me to move with him to Miami
Lana: what!
Lu: yeah he asked me yesterday and I said no
Lana: why didn't u tell me this yesterday and why did u say no?
Lu: Sorry Lana but I just had to go home and think myself and the reason y I said no was cuz I cant just leave this clinic and I can't leave you…you and Peter are my only family

There's a knock on Lu's office door

Later that day...
Lana knocked on Lu's office door

Lu: He said that he had to cancel our date tonight and since tomorrow morning he's leaving to Miami and he's goin to be in Virginia for today…that's y he cant see me tonight or in the morning before he moves
Lana: Im sorry kid
Lu: Lana why does this always happen to me…the men that I care about always ends up leaving me she puts her head down and starts crying
Lana walks Lu over to the couch in her office and Lana held Lu while she cries
Lana: Just let it out baby, crying always makes it better
Lu ends up falling asleep in her office on the couch and Lana stays with her
The next day...
Lu took the day off she was to depressed to go to work and this is unusual for Lu to take off work just cuz a man has left her life…that's how she knew she loved him so much
Her phone rings
Lu: in a depressed voice hello
Ben: Lu are u crying?
Lu: why does it matter you don't care about me anyway
Ben: How can you say that?
Lu: Ben, prime example…where are u and where am I?
Ben: I know but I still care for you…I still love you
Lu: Hold on somebody's on my other line
Ben: ok
Lu: Hello?
Lana: Lu I know you took the day off but I really need you…I really do!
Lu: ok Lana calm down I'm on my way
Lu hangs up with Lana and clicks back over to Ben
Lu: Ben I have to go cuz they need me at the clinic bye
Ben: But… Lu cuts him off
Lu: Bye Ben she didn't even wait for him to say bye she just hung up
Lu arrives at the clinic
Lu: Lana what's wrong, it sounded like you were dying on the phone
Lana: the patient is in your office
Lu: What? If it wasn't that serious why didn't you get Andy to take care of her?
Lana: just go in Lu!
Lu opens the door…

Will Lu's dream come true or was it just a nightmare?
