Chapter 5

The next night they went dancing with Mike and Beth. Mike and Andrew were shooting pool.

"Andy, what's going on with you and Kaleigh?"

He avoided looking at his friend "What are you talking about?"

"I know you two spent yesterday together. And now you won't even look me in the eye. What the hell is going on? Are you making a play for my baby sister?" Mike sounded pissed, this was what he was afraid of.

"Mike, It's not like that, honest." He was still pretending to concentrate on his shot, which he missed.

"Look, I know you are a big famous wrestler now and have women throwing themselves at you constantly, and all that money and crap, but I'll kick your ass if you play my sister. I mean it Andrew. I really do!" Mike hit the cue ball so hard it jumped off the table and rolled to where the girls were sitting. They both looked up

Andrew and Mike were staring at each other and they were both red in the face.

"If that's how you think of me Mike, I guess we aren't as good of friends as I thought!"

"People change Andy, and sometimes not for the better."

Andrew put his stick on the table. "I'm going home man, I don't need this."

He walked over and picked up his jacket from beside Kaleigh.

"AJ, what's wrong?" Kaleigh asked him.

"Nothing Kaleigh, nothing. I'm tired and I'm going home."

He walked to the door and never looked back.

"Mike what the hell is going on?" Beth asked.

:"Nothing! We're leaving"

They drove Kaleigh home and when they got to her house Mike said

"Little Bit, Stay away from Andy ok? I don't know what the hell he is thinking but I have a bad feeling about this ok? I don't want you to get hurt."

"Is that what you were arguing about, me?"

"Yeah."

"Let me tell you something Michael Jackson Monroe, I am a grown woman now and I will see whoever I want to whenever I want to and If you don't like it tough!" She slammed the car door and ran to the house.

The next day Kaleigh got up early to go see Andrew and talk to him.

Anna Martin answered the door.

"Hi Kaleigh, come in."

"Hi Mrs. Martin, is Andrew up yet?"

"Actually Kaleigh he is up and gone. He came home last night and packed his stuff and headed for Toronto. He wouldn't tell me what had happened. He just said he had to get away for a few days. Did you two have a fight?"

"Not us, him and Mike. I don't know exactly what was said but I know it was about me. I'm sorry. I know you don't get to see him very often and now he's gone again." The tears were flowing freely down her face now. Anna Martin put her arms around the girl and said

"Don't you worry about that, honey. I know how you feel about him. I'm sorry he took off. I swear sometimes I don't know what gets into that boy's head."

Kaleigh left the Martin's house, she was heartbroken. Andrew didn't come back anytime soon.
