She told her bestie….
You need to wake up…we need to leave this place…
She was bleary eyed…and wanted sleep.
But she needed to be out of the house before Jay woke.
she said…these bright lights..are not going to be the ones who guide my path.
You know…those Hollywood Hills…and the boy who waited for her there…
Were calling her…
But she ignored them…
She grabbed her stuffed bear and was out the door…
They watched the bleary eyed neighbors stumble to their cars….
coffee sloshing…
Heading to their offices…
It was then she noticed… The affluent nature…of Beverly Hills.
What a different life she lived…
Never in her life did she miss the taste of home more…
The cab screeched to a halt in front of them…
Later they got their tickets…
and sticky buns…and were heading to boarding…
But not before she stopped by a payphone…
She wept… and told her roommate…
Iv’e have a change of dreams…Im on my way back home…
Whatever I am looking for…I will find in Texas
The plane taxied down the runway…
and was off…
It wasn’t until she called her roomie when she landed…
The Earthquake had hit LA( just after her plane took off)
All planes were grounded…
And how the hell did I get out…??
I told her…
Because when a Texan has in her heart…she needs Texas…
nothing will stop her from getting home.
Meanwhile…the boy in LA awoke to news of and earthquake
and knew she was gone…
He did not even worry about the aftershocks…
All he knew was that she was gone…
And so he set out to find her…
How selfish….he was foolishly thinking this bird would give up her wings….
and would cease to fly….
In an odd change of events for LA ….
a light rain started to fall…
He thought as he looked over the city….
She is somewhere out there…and I’m going to find her…
Just then…
The one who loved him…awoke…
and he lied and told her about the earthquake…
That he had to quickly go to the studio…and check the set…
The one who loved him fell back asleep…
Blissfully unaware of the death of their love…
had occurred in his heart.
He left in the rain…
In his mind…calling her name…and In his heart…beating out of his chest…
Palms sweaty as he started his car….
He telephoned Jay…
How could you have let her get away?
Find her…..
I don’t care if you have to go back to Texas…
There was something about her that was different from the others..
And that “different” was what made him a mad man.
His Aston Martin sped out of the drive…winding down the hill…
Avoiding the road blocks from the earthquake…
rushing to the studio…praying there would be no more aftershocks.
He made it past the guard…
No one was at the studio…
Thank God.
It was safe to call her now…
He got the roommate…
He wiped the tears from his eyes….
He said…I’ve got to find her…
The roommate said…
she does not want to be found…
To be Continued…
