Phone call
Chapter 7: Sam and rain went to sleep after all the dishes are washed. I haul my homework downstairs. Rony has already made himself comfy, on the loveseat, in the living room. Laying on his back his knees propping open his Geometry book. "Whatcha gonna work on?" As he asks I pull out a stack of papers.
"Clean out my backpack."
"Fun, fun, fun." He says not looking at me.
"Oh yeah, tons of fun." I start to sort the papers into throw away pile and keep pile, when the phone rings. The both of us stand up, "No, I got it. Sit down." He does what he was told and I pick up the home phone, "Hello?"
"Hello, may I speak to Cloe Daniels?" On the other line is a sweet, smooth, musical voice. It was strange to hear Kim on the other line after Rony had said she was dead.
"This is she". My voice cracked on the word 'she'.
"Thank goodness, Cloe, don't tell Rony. I am in the hospital, just got out of a coma." I take in the words she says. "He can't know. He'll want to see me and I look like a mess." Kim was a good friend of mine but this was asking too much for me.
"He needs to know."
"No, please don't."
"Whatever." I hang up the phone not caring what else she had to say. I didn't tell him but I didn't feel like it was right.
When 10:30 rolled around Rony had fallen asleep with Bud, Not Buddy in his lap. I took the book away and slid it into his backpack. His eyes fluttered open, "Get to bed Mr."
He moaned and groaned as he stumbled to his feet. We get up the stairs one step at a time. He walked down the hallway and closed his door behind him. I shut my door and find my phone. I flipped it open…three new texts. Dang, I really needed to start carrying my phone around.
