Your Important To Me

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy
With holes punched in it...

Matt had been calling all morning. Once I got off the plane and turned my phone back on, he had called like ten time, I guess wondering where I was. I would have called him back but my mind was to baffled to even being to think about it.

I quickly ran through the front doors of Knoxville Memorial, my wet sneakers because of the rain outside making a grudging sound across the white tiled floor.

I made my way over to the reception counter and looked to the young man sitting behind the desk talking on the phone. I pulled my wet ponytail over my shoulder and waited for the man to finally notice I was standing right here.

"Um... excuse me-" the man threw me a finger and then went back to the phone putting on a deep, flirty tone that obviously was fake. I guess he was talking to a girlfriend or something.

"Hello!" Once again the finger. I rolled my eyes before looking over the counter and pressing the button on the receiver causing in to give me a look of dis-belief. I just smirked to him.

"That was an important call miss." He said with venom in his voice.

"I'm sure it was. Now I need you to tell me what room Bob Orton is in before I give you a finger your not gonna like so much." I don't know, or care if he knew who I was but if he didn't tell me what I wanted to know in the next five seconds I was gonna give him a WWE ass-kicking right here, right now.

"Miss that's personal information. Are you family?" I groaned

"Yes, I'm his daughter-in law." The words jumped from my mouth before I could think about them, but I couldn't go back and change the past, and I sorta was like his daughter anyways. The clerk began shuffling through papers

"Room 305." I smirked to him before turning right and heading towards the elevator.

I arrived on the third floor and quickly rushed down the hall until I found the room where Katie, Mrs. Orton, and Randy where standing around the bed where Bob was lying in.

"Hi." I said as I softly as I walked through the door and into the room. All eyes turned to me and a smile formed across all lips.

"Torrence!" Katie yelled as she ran into my shirt and wrapped her arms around me. I smiled and patted her head as she pulled back and took my hand over so I was standing beside Randy.

"Thank you so much for coming dear. It means so much to us" Mrs. Orton said to me and she gently touch me hand. I smiled and nodded to her

"Any time." I then looked over to Randy and smiled. He just smiled back before wrapping his strong arms around me in a hug.

"Thank you." He said as he gently kissed my cheek.

"No problem." I released Randy and looked down to the famous Cowboy Bob Orton. Once again his rough lifestyle has landed him in a ruff spot.

"And how are you doing Bob?" I asked as I gently rubbed his hand. Bob smiled

"Fine. Those damn spicy peanuts are gonna kill me one day, but I love em" I laughed. Same old Bob.

After the doctor had come back in and told us that Bob would be fine, and he just had to watch what he ate because he wasn't thirty-two anymore. We all left Bob, and Mrs. Orton alone for awhile, and Randy and I took Katie out for ice cream.

Can you hear them?
They talk about us.
Telling lies well that's no surprise.
Can you see them, see right through them?
They have no shield no secrets to reveal...

"Hi Ash. What's up?" The next thing I heard as screaming on the other end of the phone.

"What's up?! You ditch Matt, and the state. And now your asking me what's up! Where the hell are you?!" Ashley yelled. Okay maybe I should have turned my phone off.

"I'm in... Knoxville." I replied knowing what was coming next.

"Knoxville!! What are you doing in... Knoxville?!" Okay this wasn't going the way I hoped.

"Ashley! Calm down. I'm fine, everything fine. I'm going to call Matt in a minute and tell him where I am and what's going on. But right no I'm busy so can I call you back later?" Like I was getting off that easy.

"No! You may not call me back Torrence! You better get your ass back to-" I quickly snapped my phone closed and sighed heavily. I then looked to Randy who was covering Katie's ears from Ashley's constant profanity use. I frowned

"Sorry. Ashley can be a little... dramatic at times" Katie smiled

"She gonna kick your ass." My jaw dropped as Randy's eyes widened.

"Katie! Where?...how?..." Randy stuttered baffled. Katie giggled

"I do watch you every Monday night." I giggled as Randy told Katie about how if she used profanity a evil witch would take her tongue. Katie was so sweet, but she wasn't stupid.

After the ice cream I had to take my cone to go. After calling Matt and dealing with his rantings for over thirty minutes I didn't even have time to eat any of it. Katie stomped through the rain puddles on the sidewalk as Randy and I walked closely behind.

"So. You really left without telling aynone where you were going?" Randy asked as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. I licked my ice cream before turning to him.

"Yeah... I didn't have time to go through explanations with everyone so I thought it would be best if I just told them after I learned everything was fine with Bob." Randy nodded before looking down to the sidewalk.

"So. How is... Matt?" Jealously could be heard in Randy's voice when he said Matt's name. I had heard he was still dating Torrie, so why was he jealous, and why wasn't she here instead of me.

"He's okay. Extremely pissed that I ran off to another state without telling him but, he'll get over it." Randy chuckled as suddenly the rain started up again. Randy took my hand and we ran faster as he scooped up Katie and lead us into a bistro until the rain stopped.

"Well. Looks like we'll be here for awhile. Katie, do you need to use the bathroom?" Katie though for a second before nodding. Randy then took her hand and turned to me

"We'll be right back-" I nodded before taking Katie's hand from his.

"No. We'll be right back. Katie doesn't want her older brother taking her to the bathroom." Katie and I laughed as we headed inside of the bistro and went towards the bathroom.

Katie had gotten hungry with us being here for over an hour so Randy got her some chicken nuggets, and french fries while even though I tried to talk him out of it be bought me lunch which I kept to a simple Cesar salad.

"Randy?" Randy looked up from his pizza slice and looked to me.

"Yeah Torr." I didn't know how to put this, so I just said it.

"Why did you call me? I mean I'm glad you did and all. But why me? Aren't you dating Torrie?" Randy chuckled as he wiped his mouth.

"No. I stopped seeing Torrie a month ago. And you were the first person that came to my mind. After my family, your the most important person in my life Torrence." I smiled

"Well. Your pretty important to me too Mr. R.K.O." Randy and I laughed before continuing conversations over the rest of our lunch.
