A/N: Hey! I'm trying to get this story done before I go back to school because I know that once I get back to school I'll kind of put this on the back burner. I've been writing this story since May. Last night I was writing in the dark using a flashlight. Not this chapter though. I was going to do this chapter last night but I came online and I started chatting so I kind of forgot. Thanks again for the reviews. I know I say thanks every chapter but I feel that it's important. Ok enough with my ramblings.

Best Friend

Things were going fine. A month had passed since Kelly's arrival. She still never told anyone her painful secret.

"Hey Kel. I need to talk to you for a minute," Peter said coming up behind her.

"Ok Peter," she replied walking away from the picnic tables.

"So what's up?" she asked.

"Your mom just called. She wants to come for a visit. I waned to check with you to make sure it was ok."

"Of course it is. I missed them so much." she said with a big smile.

"Ok I'll call them and let them know. They'll be here in two days."

"Great." she said before walking to where the rest of the Cliffhangers were sitting.

"What did Peter want?" Ezra asked.

"He told me my family is coming for a visit," she replied.

"Are you excited?" Auggie asked.

"Yeah I can't wait," she said happily.

"She may be the only one besides Auggie who can tolerate their parents," Shelby stated.

"So when do they get here?" Kat asked.

"2 days," she replied.

"Wow. That's soon," Kat stated.

A/N: I know that was a short chapter. I would have put more but I think it would have fit better in its own chapter. Thanks again for the reviews.
