"So Dear, why have you decided to move back home?" Mrs. Roper looked at Lauren thoughtfully as she sipped her coffee.
"A lot of reasons, but mainly because I miss my family." Lauren informed her, trying to keep her tears and anger at bay.
"What about your family here? Jack, Janet, Larry, Stanley and I are all going to miss you." Mrs. Roper said with a smile.
"I'll miss you too, but it's something I have to do." Lauren answered firmly. "I need to be going now." She said as she got up to leave.
"Goodbye honey!" Mrs. Roper exclaimed as she embraced Lauren. "We'll miss you"
Lauren smiled weakly, trying to keep the tears from falling. She left the Roper's and headed down the street to the bus stop.

Jack had made it to the bus depot and jumped out of his car. He ran to the platform and found out that the next bus to the airport didn't leave for another hour. He decided to look for Lauren in the depot.
-
Lauren got on the bus and sat down, looking out the window. She didn't really want to go back home, but she knew that she just couldn't stay here after the way Jack had hurt her. Instead of getting off at the depot, she decided to get off at the farm where she had been earlier today. She whistled and heard those familiar hoof beats and soft winnie. Even though she couldn't see Comanche's black figure in the dark night, she felt his hot breath and soft nose on her shoulder. She sat down in the pasture next to her friend, his head nuzzling her. Rain began to fall from the sky as tears fell from her eyes.
-
When Jack couldn't find Lauren anywhere, he decided to give up. Suddenly, he remembered the farm and Lauren's love for horses. He got into his car and took off down the road.

In Lauren's sorrow, this song comes to her mind:
Run to You-Whitney Houston I know that when you look at me There's so much that you just don't see But if you would only take the time I know in my heart you'll find Oh, a girl who's scared sometimes Who isn't always strong, can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone Chorus:
I wanna run to you hoo hoo I wanna run to you hoo hoo hoo Won't you hold me in your arms And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you hoo hoo But if I come to you hoo hoo hoo hoo Tell me will you stay or will you run away Each day, each day I play the role Of someone always in control But at night, I come home and turn the key There's nobody there, no-one cares for me Oh, what's the sense Of trying hard to find your dreams without someone to share it with Tell me what does it mean Repeat Chorus:
Run away no I need you here I need you here to wipe away my tears To kiss away my fears If you only knew, how much I wanna run to you Chorus:
I wanna run to you I wanna run to you Won't you hold me in your arms And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you But if I come to you Tell me will you stay or will you run away -
Jack turns on the radio as he drives through the pouring rain.
The Reason-Hoobastank I'm not a perfect person There's many things I wish I didn't do But I continue learning I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is you I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears Thats why i need you to hear I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is You x4
I'm not a perfect person I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is you I've found a reason to show A side of me you didn't know A reason for all that I do And the reason is you
