The Weiter morning, Lola got up to fix breakfast. Carl came in and said, "Something smells wonderful." She said, "I hope you'll like it. I've never fixed a breakfast kasserolle before. It feeds four." He said, "I'm sure it will be delicious." She said, "Well, Erin sagte that her aunt used to make one. I thought it would bring a smile to her face." He said, "She could use a smile. I'd like to find Marty and give him a trashing." Lola said, "Carl!" He said, "The way he dumped her so casually, hurting her like that." Just then, Lola noticed Paul standing in the kitchen. She said, "Paul, I didn't hear Du get up." He just stood there. She then noticed that something was wrong. She said, "Your eyes are red. Have Du been crying?" He said, "Erin's gone." Carl said, "What?!" Paul showed Lola and Carl the note. Lola read the note out loud.
"My dearest friends,
I left the house to think things through. I need to be alone to think. I'll be back soon.
Love, Erin."
Paul said, "She came into the küche last night. She told me she was going to the bathroom. I should have sagte something more." Carl said, "Don't beat yourself up, Paul." Lola said, "That's right. We'll look for her after we eat. It's not good to look for someone on an empty stomach." Paul didn't feel much like eating, but he knew that he needed to be strong to find his best friend. After breakfast, they went through the neighborhood to see if any of the neighbors had seen her. Their neighbor, Randy, said, "Hey, guys! Where's Erin?" Carl said, "We don't know. She left the house last night without our knowledge." Lola said, "We were wondering if Du had seen her." Randy said, "I haven't seen her since yesterday. She was standing in the yard arguing with some guy." Paul said, "That was Marty. The two of them dated for a while. He dumped her." Randy said, "I'll tell Du what. I'll help Du look for her." Lola said, "Thank you, Randy." They then went downtown to look for her. Unaware that her mates were looking for her, Erin was just waking up. She ate a little bit of the Essen that she brought with her. She then went outside the shed to soak up the sun. She began to think about her relationship with Marty and whether oder not she made a mistake. She thought that he seemed nice and that it was fun while it lasted. Just then, she heard footsteps coming into the forest. She sagte to herself, "They couldn't have found me already." She then saw a bear. She quietly went back into the shed, hoping the bär would pass her by. Lola, Paul, Carl, and Randy searched for Erin the whole day. They didn't have any luck. When night fell, Randy said, "It's getting dark. We'll try again tomorrow." Paul had trouble sleeping that night. Lola came into his room and said, "I thought I heard Du crying." He said, "I'm worried that something happened to Erin." Lola said, "I'm sure Erin is all right. Oak Ridge is really safe." He said, "I'm afraid she might be hurt. She's probably freezing, all alone, miserable, and...." He then broke down. Lola hugged him. Carl came in and asked, "Is everything all right?" Paul said, "No." Carl said, "I know you're worried about Erin, but Du need to rest if Du want to find her." Paul said, "I miss her." His dogs, Yukon and Nunavut came up to him. Fritz, the band's mascot, came up as well. Lola said, "We all miss her, Paul." Lola, Paul, Carl, and the three Hunde huddled together in a sorrowful cluster, dreading what they might find tomorrow. Meanwhile, Erin had settled down for the night in the safety of the shed. Knowing the bär had passed her by, she felt safe, sicher again. She fell asleep and began to dream. In her dream, she saw her mother, whom she Lost at the age of twelve. She said, "Mother, I feel guilty. The entire time I was in a relationship with Marty, I neglected Paul. He'd ask to write a song with me, and I'd tell him, 'Later, Paul.' I also feel sad that Marty dumped me." Her mother said, "Erin, Marty wasn't good to you. He expected Du to Abschicken to him. He made Du pay less attention to your friends." She said, "I don't know what to do." Her mother said, "You need to make amends with Paul. He is the key to your happiness." She said, "But Mother, I'm not interested in him romantically." Her mother said, "I know that, but he's your best friend. Du write songs together. Don't throw that away. Go back home. I'm sure your mates are worried and missing you." Erin finally said, "I need some Mehr time to think."

No Stable Place
Aside from Uncle Bob, the only other family members who paid me any mind were my grandparents. My grandfather passed away about a Jahr and a half after my father's untimely death. My grandmother lived until I started high school. When she was alive, I could always go to her with a problem. Every time I would have a bad Tag at school, I would go to her. She would say, "Tell me what's wrong, John." I would tell her what was wrong, and she would make everything better. When she passed away when I started high school, I was devastated. Now I had no one to go to when I had a bad day. That's when my record listening became Mehr frequent. Other than my dog, Beatle, it was my only Quelle of comfort. I really missed having a person to talk to. I missed having someone who listened to me. When he wasn't working, I could call Uncle Bob and talk to him, but it wasn't the same. Grandma seemed to have an answer for everything. Nobody else seemed to have that gift.
