Chapter Five
Erin looked out the window of Lu's office, and saw a young pregnant woman sitting in a chair waiting to see a doctor. I wonder what went through Lu's mind when she first knew about me, she thought as she kept staring at the woman who looked like she was about to pop open. Alright stop looking Erin, she thought to herself as she turned on the computer again and was surfing on Erin logged in with her name, and went onto the member's side of the forum, and was reading the message board and decided to post a message for her friends to see. "Hey all its me Erin. I made it to Philadelphia and I'm sitting inside my biological mother's doctor's office. It's hard to imagine that she didn't turn me away as I thought she would but yet she accepted me with open arms and I did the same thing cause that's what I wanted to do. Well I will post more later and I'll check back to see if anyone replies. I love you all. Erin", she hit the post button and signed off As the day grew to an end, Lu finally came back to her office. "Oh, I had no idea if it was alright to use your computer so I went ahead and used it anyway", Erin said as she stood up to meet Lu. " It's fine just as long as you don't go to those nasty sites", Lu said as she grabbed her coat. They both stood in silence for a moment and Lu said: "Why don't you come stay the weekend with me. Marc is at his dad's house till Monday and you can sleep in his room", Lu offered. "Alright I will", Erin said as she picked up her duffle bag once again and hoisted her back pack on her shoulder.
They both walked out of the hospital in silence, not knowing what more to say to each other. Lu drove off in her car and Erin staring out the window looking at the passing city lights. "Where do you live"? Erin asked. "Just a few miles down the road", Lu said as she turned down an alley way. "Kind of a scary looking place don't you think", Erin said looking around. "Nah, not really you get used to it after a while", Lu said as she parked the car. Lu got out and got Erin's stuff for her, and both of them walked up the hallway and into Lu's house.
