Chapter 1 -Forgetful Love
It was a sunday morning and Kay felt like sleeping in, so she didn't get up till 10:30 A.M. When she went downstairs it was deserted. She Yelled,"Mom, Dad, Charity, Jessica, anyone home?" but still nobody answered. So she figured they probably went to get something to eat and forgot about her again. Miguel even went with them, like every morning. So she went upstairs and got dressed. Lately Miguel had been completely ignoring Kay. Before Charity came to town, Kay was dropping little hints about her and Miguel to start dating but he never picked up the hints because he was a typical teenage boy(No Offense!) In Two weeks it would be her 18th birthday she was sure Miguel wouldn't forget because he had always given her something. She said to herself," I don't care who remembers my birthday, excpet Miguel!"
It was about 1:00 when everybody got home from eating. They all said in unison, " Kay where have you been?" with worried expressions. She sarcastically replies, "I went fishin, Where do you think I was?"getting angry. Her dad got serious and said ,"Kathleen Marie Bennett don't get smart with us!" She then replied, " I was in my room, but I guess yall would've remembered you had another daughter and not just one and a niece!" Grace and Sam both exclaimed,"What's that suppose to mean?" She replies, "Never mind , forget I ever said anything." sadly. They all say in unision,"Ok whatever you say!" She felt tears come to her eyes but never fell. Kay was kind of shocked she thought they would atleast keep bugging her about what she meant. She was also kind of expecting that they would do that, they had been ignoring her since Charity came to town with her problems(No offense to Charity fans!) "Mrs. GoodyGoody", she said under her breath. Miguel was the only one who understood her. Now she couldn't even talk to him, ecspecially about her crush because she had a crush on him.
(Two Weeks Later) Kay got up feeling refreshed because for the last two weeks she had been running around, cause school just started. It was her birthday finally. She was so happy the Big one eight. Her mom and dad had always said when she was 18 she'd get a car. That morning when she went downstairs as usual Charity& Miguel were cuddled on the couch. She said,"Hey!" Miguel said,"Oh Hey Kay we didn't know you were here!" She felt tears starting to sting her eyes then she thought,"It's all just a cover up for my part!"; She then smiled a sincere smile and went back up to her room. About 4 hours later after she had gotten finished doing her weekend homework, she came down and decided to go out b/c she figured when she got back everyone would be there to wish her a happy Birthday! When she got home she was suprised b/c no one was there. She started crying and she felt her knees buckle as she fell to the floor. When she heard the door open she didn't even bother to move because she felt so unloved. When she felt someones hand on her should she turned aroud, her eyes quickly changed from sadness to rage when she saw who it was. She got up and wi[ed the tears from her eyes but a few more slipped out.
It was Miguel with Charity in tow. Before she could start yelling, He asked,"Kay what's wrong?"with a worried expression. She started crying again and ran out the front door. A few moments later Simone showed up with a gift and Miguel asked,"Who's that for?" with a dumbfounded look. Simone giggled and replied,"For fKay who else, Miguel you're such a kidder!" "What's so special that you would bring her a present?" he asked still confused. Simone replies,"You seriously don't know do you?" He then says," No, should I." Simone had a worried look on her face and said,"Kay must be devestated!" Miguel then had an OH MY GOD face and replied shocked," It's Her ..........Birthday!" He then ran past simone out the door to go find his best friend Kay.
