Chapter 2
Lea sat on the couch watching television.
"I can't believe it," Lea said to herself. "Shaun's going to be gone all week. I'll be alone."
Lea stood up and walked to the refrigerator.
"I'm getting myself a snack," Lea sang. "Alone!"
Later, Lea sat down in the shower.
"I'm taking a nice, long, relaxing shower!" Lea sang. "Alone! And I'm sitting down!"
After showering, Lea got dressed, sat on the couch, and began doing her nails.
"I'm doing my nails!" Lea sang. "Alone! And wow, this nail polish is strong!"
There was then a knock on the door.
"Damn it," Lea said.
Lea carefully walked over to the door and opened it to see Dr. Melendez standing there with a bowl.
"Hello," Lea said.
"Hello, Lea," Dr. Melendez said. "I'm Dr. Melendez."
"Yeah," Lea said. "We've met. You took me to the children's ward to show me how my blood saved a boy."
"I brought Shaun some soup," Dr. Melendez said.
"Cool," Lea said. "Because he's so sick with the flu."
"You'd better take care of yourself," Dr. Melendez said. "You could get it too."
"I got a shot," Lea said.
"There are so many strands," Dr. Melendez said.
"I'll keep that in mind," Lea said, taking the soup. "Bye."
"So how is he?" Dr. Melendez asked.
"So sick," Lea said. "I just told you."
"Maybe I should check on him," Dr. Melendez said.
"No!" Lea shouted.
"Why not?" Dr. Melendez asked. "I am a doctor."
"You can't check on Shaun because he's at the doctor," Lea lied. "He was scared that it may be something more serious than the flu, so he went to the doctor."
"Okay," Dr. Melendez said. "I'll stop by later after work."
"No you won't!" Lea shouted. "Shaun does not want to be disturbed!"
Lea then slammed the door in Dr. Melendez's face.
