Cora-

Christina was doing much better. I sat in the physical therapy room watching her bend her arm and turn it. Her hair was up to her shoulders.

"Stop watching me", she said.

"Please you like the attention", I said.

"You're confusing me with yourself", she said.

She laughed. Smile on her face, I hadn't seen her smile since leaving Joe.

"Mom wants us to meet her in Arizona with the twins", I said.

Her smile dropped.

"I don't want to", she said.

"Come on, besides, I heard Luke Bryan was having a concert there, you love Luke Bryan", I said.

"That is true", she said.

"Think about it at least", I said.

She glanced at me.

"I'll think about it", she said.

"How much longer do you have to do this?", I asked.

"Till my arm and the nerves in my arm decide to work together without causing me pain", she said.

"No more cancer right?", I asked worried.

She stopped and looked at me.

"Cora, we talked about this", she said softly.

"I know", I sighed.

They handed her a ball they wanted her to squeeze. She did it without her arm hurting. After another hour we went back to our grandparents house. Our grandma decided it wouldn't be a good idea if Chris got her own place, so I stayed as well. Getting in my car, Chris rubbed her shoulder.

"You ok?", I asked.

"Yeah, just the cold makes it hurt", she said.

I nodded. After the surgery, her arm got so sensitive.

"So how did your date go? You never told me", Chris said.

"Guys suck", I replied.

"Not all of them", Chris mumbled.

I knew she meant Joe.

"So what happened with this one?", she asked.

"He wouldn't stop talking, not even to chew. It was gross", I said.

She laughed.

"I bet that didn't stop you from sticking your tongue down his throat though", she said.

"Why can't I find a nice guy?", I asked.

"You want a guy that will kiss your ass and follow you around like a lost puppy", she said.

"Exactly, why can't I find one of those", I said.

She chuckled.

"What? Is it wrong that I want all his attention on me", I said.

"No, but you also have to realize that its not always going to be about you. What if one day you have kids? What then?", she asked.

"I hate you", I said.

She giggled.

"So about the concert", she said.

"Also meeting mom and dad", I said.

"Yeah yeah. Oh, Joe's game is starting soon", she said.

"Dad goes to his games you know", I said.

Getting inside the house, my grandparents already had the game on.

"I don't talk to them anymore so, no I dont know", she said.

Joe popped up on the screen. We watched the game for a while.

"So you were saying? The concert?", I asked.

"Oh right, I want it noted now that I'm going for Luke Bryan and my brothers, that's it", she said.

"Really?", I asked excited.

She nodded. I hugged her.

"Yes, I love you", I said.

"So when do we go?", she asked, putting popcorn in her mouth.

"Saturday, concert's on Sunday", I said.

She turned quickly to look at me.

"Wait, what?", she asked.

"Yeah, oh don't worry I already have the tickets", I said.

"What if I would have said no?", she asked.

"I would have dragged your ass with me anyway. Even if I had to stuff you in my carry on", I said.

She punched my arm.

"You tricked me brat", she said.

"Oh shush", I said.

Christina laid her head on my shoulder.

"You should call dad and ask him for Joe's number", I suggested.

"No", she said softly.

"You miss him and I know for a fact he misses you too", I said.


Colby-

"Do I really have to go mom?", I asked.

"Yes, its a family reunion and your grandma wants to see you", she said.

"Fine, I'll go, but I can only stay a week", I said.

"Yes yes, because of your wrestling hobby", she said.

I chuckled.

"Its not a hobby mom, I love it", I said.

"I know, I was just teasing", she said.

"So I'll see you in Arizona", I said.

"Ok, be there by Saturday. Colby no later", she said stern.

"Yes mother", I said.

"I love you and I can't wait to see you", she said.

"Me too, bye", I said.

I sighed.

"Whats up with you?", Ryan asked.

"Have to go to this family reunion in Arizona", I said.

"When do you leave?", he asked.

"Have to be there by Saturday", I said.

He nodded.

"Wanna go with?", I asked.

"Why not, I have nothing better to do", he said shrugging.

I chuckled and shook my head.
