Chapter 30

okee day... this chapter is a flashback. Laurel was at a club downtown with her friend Aimee and her boyfriend Michael,who she was about to dump.Laurel was dressed in a long black satin and lace dress and had her long feathery black wings on.She would dump Michael by way of a poem.Laurel walked up to the stage and grabbed the microphone."This is a poem I made for my boyfriend,Michael."Laurel said softly into the mic."I hate the way you look at me," Laurel began."I hate the way you talk to me,I hate the way you act toward me,I hate the way you want me to be someone I am not.Michael,I loathe you.I am done with you.We're through."Laurel began to cry as gasps arisen from the surrounding audience.Laurel ran out the side exit into an alley as Aimee followed.Amir had been watching Laurel with Ryan and Paige.Amir got up to go talk to Laurel."I have to meet her." Amir said as he passed Ryan. "That was kick ass!" Aimee said as she exchanged a high five with Laurel.As Amir approached the two ladies,he started to become very shy."Oh shit,we have to get going.." Aimee said as she glanced at her watch."I'll get the car." "Alright.." Laurel said as Aimee turned the corner to get the car.Laurel sipped her screwdriver and stroked her wings."Hi.." Amir said shyly as he went up to Laurel."Hey.." Laurel replied as she glanced Amir up and down."I want to be straight-up with you." Amir began,becoming nervous."Yes,what is it?" Laurel said as her Spainard accent peeked out.Her big brown eyes sparkled in the moonlight and Amir sighed,falling in deeper love with Laurel."I was in the bar,and when I saw you up on the stage,I instantly fell in love with you." Amir said with a sigh.Laurel was speechless."You fell in love with me,but we don't even know each other's names."Laurel said,ingulfed in the beauty of the man that stood before her.Aimee pulled up in the car and honked the horn.She rolled down the passenger window and noticing Amir was there said:"I'll be back later Laurel!" "Ok!" Laurel called back.Aimee drove away and Laurel turned her attention back to Amir."So..." Laurel said."I should introduce myself, my name is Amir Derakh." Amir took Laurel's small hand and kissed it."So tell me,what's your name?What brings you to Hollywood Hills?Where ya from?" "It's kinda cold out here, lets go back inside and I'll tell you everything you need to know." Laurel said.So the two went back inside the bar and sat down at a table."My name is Laurelle Phonellope Eastburn-Joyce Hinslea Reznor."Laurel said gazing into Amir's deep,beautiful eyes."Wow,that's a hell of a name." Amir said,laughing a little."Nice to meet you,Amir." Laurel said with a shy grin."Are you related to Trent Reznor?" Amir asked.Laurel smiled again and replied:"he's my third cousin." Amir grinned back."That's cool,you're a very lucky girl.So what brings you around these parts?" "Well, it's a long,long story..." Laurel began."Good thing I am a good listener." Amir said.Laurel laughed and began her long story... To be continued...
