Chapter two: Home at Last:
    It took Reese three days to get to L.A. It had been a year since she had really seen L.A. Reese was in L.A. for five months during her pregnancy but she just stayed home most of the time. It just felt weird to be home again.
    Nothing felt the same anymore. For Reese, the excitement of L.A. had died. She had fallen out of its spell. “Must be maturity.” Reese thought as she walked down the streets of her old community. A couple of her old classmates waved at her. Reese waved back but felt weird doing so. It was as if they were just strangers.
    Finally, she made it to her childhood home. It looked like a doll’s house like it did before. To be honest, Reese was quite impressed with how the house stayed the same. She took a deep breath and walked down the driveway. The blonde came up to the bright red door. She rang the doorbell. “Coming!” a voice called from the inside. Reese swallowed hard as she tensed up. The door began to open. A woman in her early forties stepped out. She looked at Reese. Shocked filled her eyes. “Reese?” the woman asked. The blonde nodded. Joy flowed through the woman. “Oh my god! It’s actually you!!!!!” she exclaimed. Then the woman ran and embraced Reese in her arms. “Yes mother.” Reese said. “I’m home.” Then her mother took her into the house.
    Her relatives were overjoyed to see Reese again. They hugged redundantly. Reese felt a little closed in but managed to keep a smile. Her relatives held a big dinner for her return. By the end, Reese just sighed and shook her head. “Well,” she thought. “I’m home at last.” Then she shook her head again.
