Chapter 5
It was already late afternoon when they arrived at Olivia's apartment. As soon as Olivia opened the door, Lindsay ran inside her apartment and looked around.
"Wow, you have a really big apartment. I like it a lot." Lindsay said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you. What do you think about me making some sandwiches now and then we can go into town for some shopping? I think you'll need a few new clothes as you don't have anything but the ones you're wearing at the moment. And you're staying here now for at least a week."
"Yes, that sounds good," Lindsay said.
While Olivia prepared the sandwiches Lindsay looked around Olivia's home a little bit more. When she was done she came back into the kitchen to Olivia.
"Where will I sleep?"
Olivia, who was wrapped in her own thoughts, didn't hear Lindsay at first. So Lindsay came over to her and pulled at her pullover.
"Olivia!"
"Mmh, what?"
"I asked you where I'll sleep."
"I don't know. I thought that you could sleep in my bedroom and meanwhile I move onto the couch in the living room. So you have your own room and a big bed."
"But I don't want to sleep all alone."
"You won't be alone honey, I'll be right there for you. And if you want we can leave the door a little bit open to the living room so you'll hear me and see the light, okay?"
"Maybe…I don't know."
"We'll try tonight, okay? And if it doesn't work we'll find a new solution."
"Okay."
"Now, sit down and we can eat our sandwiches."
Lindsay did as Olivia told her and half an hour later both were ready to go shopping.
They went through a few stores but didn't find anything that fit Lindsay. She was very slim and too short for her age so everything they tried didn't look good on her.
After leaving yet another shop Lindsay started complaining.
"Liv, I'm tired. I don't want to do any more shopping. I want to go home, please. I don't need new clothes," she begged.
"We'll only try a few more okay? You need at least pyjamas, a pair of trousers and a few pullovers. It's very cold at the moment. If we don't find anything in the next two shops we'll go home and start tomorrow again, okay?"
"Only one more", she begged.
"Okay Lindsay, one more and then we can go looking for a Christmas tree. And when we find one we can go home, okay?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
Half an hour later they had two pairs of trousers, six pullovers, a warm jacket, some underwear, socks and pyjamas for Lindsay.
Olivia smiled to herself when she thought how easy it was to persuade Lindsay to stay shopping after promising her a Christmas tree.
While they walked back along the streets they came past Rockefeller Center.
Lindsay's eyes were huge as she looked at the beautifully decorated Christmas tree.
"Olivia, that's wonderful. We need to decorate ours just like it."
"Haven't you seen the tree at Rockefeller Center before?"
"No. I don't remember seeing it before. It's so beautiful." And with a bright shine in Lindsay's eyes they walked on.
Forty five minutes later they arrived at a yard selling Christmas trees. It wasn't far from Olivia's apartment, so she thought it would be easy to carry the tree home. Olivia let Lindsay decide which tree they would get and after looking at six trees Lindsay pointed at one.
Olivia paid for the tree and as she hadn't have a Christmas tree for years they also went to a little store near Olivia's apartment to buy some decorations. After looking at all sorts of decorations, Lindsay chose the ones in gold and purple. When they were done at the store they went straight home.
After arriving at the apartment Lindsay went to the bathroom and Olivia saw that she had three new messages on her answering machine. She listened to them and decided that they weren't important. She had the whole week free so she didn't bother much about work.
She heard the bathroom door opened and a minute later Lindsay was standing next to her in the living room.
"Would you like a hot chocolate? Then we can make the bed for you and you can put your new clothes in my wardrobe. And then, if it's not too late, we could watch some DVDs… what do you think?"
"Sounds good."
While they drank their hot chocolate in the living room Olivia noticed Lindsay looked very sad.
"Honey, what's going on? Is there something you wanna talk about? You know we still need to talk about the night I found you."
Olivia sighed, she knew they only had a week together before Lindsay would be taken into care and she needed to get as much information as possible before that happened.
"Liv, please stop. I don't want to talk about that night. I miss Charlie."
"Who's Charlie?"
"My teddy bear. I think I lost him but I can't remember where he is. I can't sleep without him."
"But you were able to sleep without him at the hospital."
"You were there for me. But I really need Charlie. He misses me, I can feel it."
"And what do you think about getting a new Charlie?" Olivia asked handing her a small bear Lizzie had given her.
"But this is not Charlie then. I need my one."
"Wait here a minute, okay? I'll have a look and see if I can find something much better."
Olivia went into her bedroom and opened her wardrobe. She remembered she still had the box she found in her mom's apartment after her death. Her mom had kept loads of stuff from her childhood and she was sure there should be a teddy bear and a few dolls.
She rummaged around in the box and started smiling when she found what she was looking for. There was Marty, her teddy bear from when she was little.
She took the bear and two of her favourite dolls in her hands and went back into the living room.
"Sweetheart, look what I just found. Do you think it will be a good substitute for Charlie? He's called Marty."
Lindsay started to smile and her eyes had again this bright shine. She jumped off the couch and ran over to Olivia.
"Thank you so much Liv. I like him and I think I can sleep with him." Then she pointed to the dolls. "Can I have them as well?"
"Of course."
Lindsay gave Olivia a big hug and Olivia felt she was on the right road to find a way into Lindsay.
