The rest of the day is pretty normal. Bennett just stays with me through the whole day because it just so happens we are in every class together. He does this kinda thing where he scares off all of the guys that try to approach me. And I am very grateful for it but I do want to talk to Henry more and Bennett won't even let him through. I keep telling him that it's alright and everything but he still won't do it. I wonder if he knows something about Henry that I don't. I wonder if everyone knows something about Henry that I don't because crowds part for him too, but it's more like they are scared of him or something. I'll have to go home and ask around the neighborhood. Funny how the only family to visit us when we arrived was the Celeborns.
At the end of the day, I tell Bennett I'm going home. He says, "I really don't think you should do that, Lucille. There is someone bad in your neighborhood and they want to attack you." I just look at him like he's crazy.
"I think I'll be just fine, thanks." I mock. "Just give me your phone number in case you are correct."
He gives me his phone number and I start the five minute walk home. I can see my house and it's obvious something is wrong because there is smoke coming from the house. I race over and open the front door. Before I went inside though, I do notice how my mother's car isn't there. Hmm, she could be at work, I think inside my head. Once inside, I see more disturbing things. The whole inside is burned to a crisp and I can just picture all of the money it will take to replace everything. Then I scream at myself internally because I just thought of money at a time like this.
