OUR LIVES: SEASON 1 (COMPLETED)

EPISODE 9

The snow was coming down hard. The people were all bundled up nice and warm in their winter coats. Theresa was stuck in that hospital bed watching the snow fall from her window. She had felt so bad for what she did. She was so scared that David would find out. The voice she heard the night before promised her that he would. She lay there waiting for her mother and father to come pick her up. The doctors gave her the okay. Well actually Theresa hated hospitals so she refused to stay. The doctors begged her to stay for one more night but she fought it and signed her release papers. As she stood there she wondered what everyone was up to.

“Kimberly stop trying to get me to sleep with you.” Brian told her. She looked at him like he was crazy.
“Please of I wanted to fuck I would have had you naked already.” She kissed him on the cheek. “I have to go home my dad needs me to do something for him.” She gave Brian a hug and she made her way out his room. Brian sat there and smiled. He was so happy that everything was okay. But he could not get the warnings from the night before out his head. He wanted to call Amanda and warn her but how would he sound. So Brian got up from his bed and made his way to the phone.
“Hey Carl. I need to get a couple more things today so are you down?”
“Sure man I’m not done either. Meet you on 42nd Street in front of Virgin Records in an hour.” Carl hung up. Brian looked in his bedroom mirror but this time the woman wasn’t there.
“I hope you’re wrong. I REALLY hope you’re wrong.”

Theresa got up from the bed and made her way to the door. She opened it and peaked out. There were doctors walking back and forth. Nurses talking to patients waiting to see the doctors. She walked out into the corridor and stood there.
“I feel bad for some of these people. They have to be stuck here with diseases. And some will die without family even visiting them.”

“Well mother I need to go now. Brian wants me to go shopping with him.” Carl looked at his mother. She looked sicker then before. He wanted to take her out of there but he needed her to get help first. “I’ll be back soon mom I promise.” Just then the old woman from before was walking by. She looked at Carl.
“You again?” The woman asked.
“Hello there.” Carl greeted her.
“You are pure evil. You are Satan’s son. Why are you here?” Carl looked at her.
“None of your business.”
“He’s here to see me.” His mother spoke. Carl turned around to look at her. “He is my evil son.” His mother spoke again.
“Well I feel bad for you. He has done something evil. I smell it all over him. DEATH.” The woman grabbed Carl’s arm. “BLOOD is all over your hands young man.” Carl pulled away from her.
“Don’t listen to her mom. She is a little nutty.” Carl leaned down to face his mother in the wheelchair. “I’ll be back soon. I love you.” Carl kissed her and walked passed the crazy woman. The woman began to walk by Carl’s mother.
“I know the truth. It’s his fault that I’m in here.” His mother told the woman. The woman stopped.
“My name is Elma. We will speak soon. I promise.” Elma began to walk again.
“Yes we will Elma. Yes we will.” Carl’s mother began to roll her way to her room.

Theresa sat in her parent’s car and looked out at the world. She watched as couples walked by. She thought about David and how she loved him. She would hate to lose him. So she knew that she had to keep the abortion a secret. She wanted to be in love forever.

“Amanda can you please come into the kitchen?” Melinda called. Amanda was on the phone with Jordan. He had assured her that the kiss was sincere. That he does like her and would love to get to know her.
“I have to call you back Jordan.” Amanda told him.
“No problem. Later.” Amanda hung up and threw her phone on her bed. She made her way into the kitchen. There was her sister and her mother.
“This better be good.” Amanda walked to the fridge and opened it hoping to find something to eat.
“The Christmas party is in a few weeks. I want to let you know that mom is coming.” Amanda dropped the container of Orange juice on the floor. Her mother looked at her and smiled.
“You must be smoking some shit now.” Amanda told Melinda.
“She is our mother and she is coming.”
“This is my party. I throw it every year not you. And if I say that bitch ain’t coming she ain’t coming and that’s that.” Amanda placed the container back in the fridge.
“You have turned into a little bitch.” Her mother said. Amanda looked at her mother. Rage in her eyes and blood boiling in her veins.
“Listen here miss perfect. You have the nerve to even come back now you want to call me a bitch. You can take your comments and shove them up your ass. I am sick of you. DONE. You are not coming to my party and that is that. If you do show up to I will call the cops and have you escorted out. So think twice before you try some shit.” Amanda walked out the kitchen and made her way back into her room. She picked up her cell phone and instead of calling Jordan she called the woman from her mothers phone.
“Hello?” The woman spoke. Amanda froze. She had so much to ask this woman but she couldn’t.
“HELLO?” The woman screamed into the phone. “Who is this? ANSWER ME DAMN IT. Lyle is this you? Did you find me?” Amanda hung up the phone.
“Who is Lyle?” She now had so much to ask this woman.

That night Theresa called David and told him how much she missed him. He was busy that whole day with his mom. She wanted to see him so bad. She turned on her computer and she smiled at the screensaver of him and her. They looked so happy together. They were the perfect couple. But she was still scared. The voice from the noght before terrified her.
“SECRETS COME OUT HONEY…LIKE I SAID BEFORE YOU WILL LOSE HIM.”
Theresa replayed those haunting words over and over again in her head. She knew that secrets do come out eventually.

Liam typed on his computer a letter to someone. He typed it with passion for it was the one that he loved that he was typing it to. He closed it with a “I LOVE YOU”. He clicked the save button and entitled the file “BRIAN”

Amanda picked up the phone and she dialed the number again. The woman spoke again and this time Amanda spoke back.
“Hello there. My name is Amanda. I want to know how you know my mother.” Amanda waited.
“Amanda? How did you get my number?”
“Don’t worry about that just answer my question. How do you know my mother?” Amanda waited again.

Carl was watching a movie. He lay there on his bed staring at the Television. He was terrified of Elma. She knew too much. But how? He didn’t know and he didn’t care. All he knew was that he had to keep her quiet some how. But how?

Elma walked by Carl’s mother’s room. She peaked her head in and she saw that she was sleeping. So she thought.
“Come in Elma.” Carl’s mother called to her. Elma walked into the room and she sat on the chair next to the bed.
“I thought you were asleep.” Elma smiled at her.
“No not at all honey. Oh by the way call me Lynn.” Elma smiled.
“Sure. So why are you here?”
“My own son put me in here.”
“So that was what you meant by it’s your sons fault you’re in here?” Elma looked around at the room. She saw pictures of Carl’s father.
“No that was not what I meant. It goes deeper then that. Something so deep that it would ruin my son. It would kill him if it got out.” Lynn smiled and she looked over at the picture of her husband. “IT WOULD JUST KILL HIM.”

Theresa was done typing in her journal.

“So journal as I close this I want to say that you’re lucky you only have secrets of mine and not your own. Cause I can tell you that

SECRETS DO COME OUT!!!!!!!!
