Lori was sitting in the waiting room...ready to hear news about Luan. She felt tears come to her eyes when she thought about the state of her sister coming into the hospital...her skin pale, her lips blue and her low heartbeat. All because of her....no...HIM. Bobby Santiago...her boyfriend of over a year. Why? Why did he do this? Shaking her head..she knew what needed to be done so she asked the nurse where Bobby was. 

Meanwhile Bobby was sitting in his room...his left hand was cuffed and he could hardly move without assistance. His plan was ruined and now....he caused his family more grief than ever. When he heard the door knocking...he slowly answered...Come in. As the door opened..He came face to face with his girlfriend...Lori Loud.

I saved every letter you wrote me,

"B...Babe. You came to see me." Bobby said with a fake smile. He hoped that Lori would think that he was trying to save her sister so he could attempt to kill her again only for her to glare at him with her arms crossed across her chest.

From the moment I saw you I knew you were mine

"Bobby...Do you really think that I'll take you back after what you did to my sister?" Lori asked. 

You said you were mine 

"It was a misunderstanding Babe." Bobby said. Only for Lori to come close to him to slap him across the face with her left hand.

I thought you were mine

"B..Babe?" Bobby asked. 

Do you know what Angelica said?

"Don't Babe me. Luan told me that someone was trying to kill me. At the time...I thought that no one I cared about would harm me only for me to find out that my boyfriend...someone who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with tried to kill me and Luan moments later." Lori shouted.

When I told you what you'd done 

"Listen Babe..." Bobby said before she glared at him with fire burning behind her eyes.

She said, you married an Icarus

"NO!! I will not listen to any of your lies. I've had enough of this...with you lying at every opportunity and I foolishly believing every word that you say without question." Lori shouted.

He has flown too close to the sun

Don't 

Take another step in my direction 

"What are you talking about Babe? I never lied to you about anything." Bobby said. Lori shook her head and walked towards the left corner. He was still lying to her and expected her to just ignore everything that just occurred and jump back into his arms.

I, can't be trusted around you 

Don't! Think that you could talk your way into my arms 

"Stop lying to me. I deserve to know the truth not petty lies coming from someone so close to my heart." Lori said.

Into my arms

I'm burning the letters you wrote me 

You can stand over there if you want 

I don't know who you are 

I have so much to learn

I'm rereading your letters and watching them 

Burn

"I'm not lying Babe. You're just being paranoid." Bobby said.

I'm watching them 

Burn

You published the letters she wrote to you 

"Oh Really...Then explain the texts that multiple women posted on your Face Book account. You even posted a picture of you kissing one of them with your arms wrapped around her shoulders." Lori said.

You told the whole world how you brought that girl into our bed

In clearing your name 

You have ruined our lives

"Those are just friends..." Bobby said slowly.

Heaven forbid someone whisper

"He's part of some scheme"

"They're not your friends. They're people that you've been seeing behind my back. In fact...I even saw you kiss one of them when I was walking towards your house." Lori said. Bobby didn't say anything and looked at his hands. 

Your enemies whispers so you have to scream!

I know about whispers....

I see how you look at my sister

"You even looked at Leni the same way as those girls. I pretended not to notice the rumors that are circulating about you cheating behind my back. And look at what happened...Because of my blindness..I almost got myself and Luan killed all because of my blind devotion to YOU." Lori shouted.

Don't 

"Babe...I promise to only have my eyes on you and only you for now on so..." Bobby started, but stopped once Lori turned and glared at him once more.

I'm not naive

I have seen women around you 

Don't 

Think that I don't see how they fall for your charms!

"That promise is just an empty promise just like your heart. All this time...I listened to your every word that comes out of your mouth and wasted precious time with my family." Lori said.

All your charms!

I'm erasing myself from the narrative 

Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted 

When you broke her heart!

"But Babe..." Bobby said as he realized that she wasn't taking his empty promises any longer.

You have thrown it all away! Stand back watch it 

Burn

Just watch it all 

Burn 

And when the time comes 

Explain to the children 

"Stop calling me Babe!!! You used me Bobby. But you didn't just use Me...you used everyone around you for your own hidden agenda. But that ends...Now! It's over!!" Lori said as she started to exit his room.

The pain and embarrassment 

You put your mother through!!

When will you learn?

"Lori!! Don't leave me Lori! You need me." Bobby said as she was almost out the door.

That THEY are your legacy!

WE are your legacy!!

If you thought you were mine...

Don't 

Lori didn't say anything and just walked out the door. As she sat down at the sitting area..she thought back on Lincoln and Luan. She had to make things right with them only question is how?
