Katy's POV
"Do you have to go to work tomorrow?" Maya asked me.
"Yeah," I said, "I'm sorry, baby girl."
She put her elbows on her legs and put her fists on her cheeks.
"You're never here anymore," she said.
"I know," I said. "I'm sorry. Maybe if I could get an audition—"
"You'll never be an actress!" She yelled at me. If only she knew I've been acting for a while now.
"Listen, baby girl," I said, sitting by her, wrapping her in hug, "if I had it my way I wouldn't have to go to work, I would be a real actress, and we'd be in a big house with lots of stuff we could do." If I had it my way, Kermit wouldn't have left and I would have both of my girls with me, I thought.
"Why doesn't daddy come around?" she asked. "What did Ido?"
"You didn't do anything, baby girl," I said.
"I'm nine, mom," she said. "He hasn't come back for five years. Why did you push him away?"
I didn't, I thought. "I don't know," I told her. "I love you."
"I'm going to bed," Maya said. She got up off the couch and walked to her bedroom door. "I love you too, mom." She walked into her room and closed the door.
Author's Note: I know this was a really short Chapter, sorry about that.
