Ch. 1 Maybe it could change
Kris woke up to sun shining in her eyes, blinding her. She had been thinking about Junior for the past 3 weeks. He had told her, that he loved her. She had no idea how to respond to that weeks ago. But, now she had an idea. She loved Junior, and that scared her.

I didn't realize how blind I was until that night. Junior was the only man I ever really truly loved. Kerry meant nothing to me. Sure, he bought me fancy things, but he kept pulling me farther and farther away from my family. The Ritter's.
I've never had a family that meant so much to me. My mom, well let's just say she had a few problems to workout. I never knew my dad. And my brother, well I haven't spoken to him in a while. So basically, the Ritter's are the closest thing I ever had to a family.
And Wildfire, he's my world. He got me to where I am today. He made me who I am today. He was my first true friend, he always listens when I need to talk to him. Everything's changing so fast, and I can't do anything about it. And everyone is changing.
I'm not going to Europe anymore. The reason. Kerry's plane is missing. And I think I never really wanted to go. I would be leaving my friends, my family, everyone at Raintree, Wildfire and Baby Wildfire. But most importantly, I would be leaving Junior.
Who knows, he could've gotten a different girlfriend if I left. But then, that night, I could tell that all he wanted was me. I don't know if he knew I was feeling the same way, but I had a feeling he did. I don't know, maybe I should tell him that I love him. I know he loves me, he told me. I don't know.
I mean I had to make a lot of decisions lately. Maybe I should talk to him tomorrow. Yeah, I have to talk to him, not tomorrow but today.
Kris got out of her bed and put on a T-shirt and jeans. Put on some makeup. And opened her trailer door and said "Maybe, just maybe we can be together again."
