(Ring, ring, ring)

"Hello?" Eric answered the phone while trying to keep his top score on this month addition to his video game library. "Hey, dad! Um the reason I'm not asleep right now is..."

"It's okay son, is your sister awake?"

"Um yeah hold on"

"Enough with the video games, Eric just once I'd like it if you studied as much as you spend time in front of the t.v or computer."

"Yes dad" Walking up stairs remembering this speech his father gave him every month or so. This time it was early, mimicking his father as he went pass his room and straight down the hall to his sister room. "Ist, Isty wake up!" Shaking the sleep out of her.

"What is it Eric? What's going on?" Kristen ask still half asleep.

"Isty!"

"Alright! I'm up. I'm up!" Somehow Kisten found the energy to pull herself up for her bed to lean against the headboard of her bed. "Hello? DAD! Hey, how is you trip going?"

"It's going well Eric e-mail me a today asking me if I was going to be back for your new play."

"Oh that dad don't worry..."

"Kristen, why didn't you tell me you know I would have made arrangements"

"Yes I know you would've but dad you can't always be there for us there is only one of you. Besides it not a big part." She turn to hit her brother with her pillow.

"Ouch" Complained Eric

"Not a big part you're the lead! Anyways sweetie I love you and you brother and I want to be there for you on night like this. Even if that means my job. The both of you are more important to me then any silly old job. You two are my life the air I breath to be more mushy about it. So promise me you won't lie to me about this kind of stuff anymore."

"Yes dad, but please don't worry about coming, I know you love me and Eric but I don't want you to lose you job over it. Besides your always with me in my heart so you don't have to come."

"Yes I know I don't have to come but I'll be there anyways"

"What..How.."

"Tomorrow's my day off and I want to spend it with you and your brother at your play. Okay, I'm taking the red eye out and I'll be home in the morning. Oh and Kristen no complaining Got It!

She breathed a sigh of disbelief and anger. "You got it daddy, I love you, night"

"Good night sweetie, say good night to your brother to"

She grab her pillow once more and aim it right to Eric." I can't believe you"

"Ouch! Oh come on you know you wanted dad to be there for your first lead performance!"

"Yeah but it was up to me to tell him. NOT YOU! But thanks." Hugging her brother. "Good night"

That night Kristen and Eric's father wouldn't make it home that night nor the next or any other night.
