Ch. 5 - Surprise Visitor
A few days later…
“Should I? Shouldn’t I? Should I? Shouldn’t I? Ugh! I don’t know!” Laura paced back and forth throughout her living room. Mr. Chapman had come home exhausted and passed out in his bedroom, but Tessa had gone to a friend’s house and Laura didn’t know what to do.
She wanted to call Sam and tell him everything. She wanted to tell him she was desperate, and he was the only person she felt she could go to in a time like this, but something was holding her back. But what was it?
“Oh darn it Laura, why can’t you think?” She kept pacing. Her thoughts went to Sam. All she could think about were his arms around hers, holding her, speaking soft, sweet words of comfort. Laura collapsed onto the couch.
“Oh Sam!” Laura cried, falling on her face. Then, there was a knock at the door. Instantly Laura rose up and brushed away the hair from her face. She checked to see who was at the door. It was Sam.
