Chapter 3

Kay sat on her bed and looked at the small piece of paper in her hand. She quickly stuffed it under her pillow when she heard her bedroom door squeak open.

"Hey, Kay." It was Reese. She hadn't seen Reese in over three years.

"Reese, long time no see," Kay said smiling, "how have you been?"

"I've been fine. Better than fine actually, I'm engaged," Reese said grinning widely at Kay.

"Who's the lucky girl?" Kay asked standing up and hugging Reese.

"You mean she didn't tell you?" Reese asked.

"Who tell me what?" Kay said rubbing her head.

"Jessica. I'm engaged to Jess, she was supposed to ask you to be in the wedding," Reese said beaming.

"Oh, I guess she just forgot," Kay laughed.

"Probably," Reese said pulling Kay into another hug, "after you left, everything was different. Everybody missed you, Miguel most of all."

"Miguel? I haven't seen him in forever it seems," Kay said, "I was supposed to call him earlier but I forgot all about it."

"Oh, well I'm sure he'd love to hear from you," Reese said letting go of Kay.

"Yeah, let me go get my cell phone and I'll be right back," Kay said walking out of the room.

Reese sat down on Kay's bed, "What was she trying to hide when I came in?" Reese lifted Kay's pillow and picked up the piece of paper, "What is this?" His eyes widened when he read over the paper, "This can;t be true. Kay can't have cancer!"


Kay walked down the stairs and through the hall to the living room to where her purse was and got her cell phone out. She began dialing Miguel's number, "No it'll be funner to go and visit him."

Kay walked over to the door and opened to find Miguel standing outside, "Miguel, what are you doing here?"

"Well, I was about to knock on the door and then you opened it. I came here to see you," Miguel answered.

"Oh, that's funny, I was just about to go to your house," Kay said smiling.

"Great minds think alike," Miguel said. He stared at Kay for a minute.

"Hello? Miguel, are you okay?" Kay asked waving her hand infront of Miguel's face.

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about how much I've missed you the last few years," Miguel said smiling at Kay.

"God, Miguel, you make it sound like we're married or something," kay said laughing, "Anyway, follow me, I'll make us some hot cocoa like we used to drink together."
