Chapter 7
Katie and her mom were sitting down having a nice conversation with one another. They had laughed about somethings and went outside in the snow to build snowmen and throw snowballs. Mrs. Knight and Katie had a blast outside for endless hours, until her mom started to get worse.
"Mom are you ok? Here lets go inside and get you wrapped up in some blankets." Katie said helping her mom inside the house.
"Thank you Katie." She said as walked into the house.
On the other hand while Katie is taking care of her mother, Kendall and Jo are on their way now. He has driven endless hours and wasn't going to stop until he arrived at his childhood home. Jo thought that sometimes he was insane but if he says he was going to do something, he meant it and kept his word about it.
Sometimes Jo would have to talk him out of things just to keep him calm. They had arrived after the never ending driving and he looked in the drivway seeing a car he hasn't seen before. He and Jo had gotten out of the car along with their suitcases and went to knock on the door.
"I got mom!" Katie said as she walked towards the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, she was shocked by who she saw standing on the other side. Kendall was shocked too because he hasn't seen his sister in a while. They both hugged one another, Kendall gave her a huge bear hug, about to snap her in half like a twig.
"Kendall you're going to break her in half." Jo said trying to make him let go.
"No I'm not. Well maybe but not yet." Kendall said to Jo as he put his sister down.
"Mom is going to be so happy that you're here." Katie said helping Kendall and Jo carry their belongings into the house.
"You didn't tell mom that we were coming did you?" Kendall asked as he shut the door and locked it behind him.
"Honestly I didn't know that you were coming. So I think you're good if you want to surprise mom." Katie said then she went back to where her mom was.
"Katie who was at the door?" Mrs. Knight asked then she blew her nose into some tissue.
"Just a salesman looking to sale business too." Katie responded as she cleaned up her moms room a little, throwing away the used snot rags and refilled the glass of water for her mom.
"Did he say what kind of business?" She asked taking a drink of water.
"I told him to go away and that he had the wrong house." Katie said washing her hand really well and dried them off.
"Oh ok." Mrs. Knight said turning on the t.v. and flipped through the channels.
