Don't Take It All Away Chapter Five
Ahhh sorry for not updating as much as I use to...I run three [about the be four] websites and have five [only four is actually being added to lately tho] fanfictions going on.
That night at dinner, Colt sat in his booster seat next to Kristin grinning ear to ear. "I'm next to my big sissy!" he shrieked, taking a sip of Kool- Aid. "Okay, Colt, calm down," Robert warned. "Yes, siyer!" Colt answered, saluting him. "Cole has a behavior problem-he's very hyper," Leah explained. Kristin nodded.
"So, Kristin, I know it's short notice, but you'll be going to school tomorrow." Robert said halfway through the silent dinner. Kristin looked up. "What? I just got here, though," she said. "I know, honey. But I don't want to keep you out of school. Plus you'll like being with kids your own age."
Kristin didn't say anything else. She felt like crying. She missed Peter and Sophie and Brandon. She missed the Cliffhangers and the way Shelby would tease her and Scott tickle her without warning. She missed Ezra's advice and the way Auggie always stuck up for her. She missed Jules always talking to her like she wasn't a little kid. She even missed Daisy's sudden tarot readings.
But she swallowed the lump in her throat and reminded herself that crying proved that you were a wuss like she had before she went to Horizon. After dinner she got up and put her plate up and went to her room without saying anything.
She looked around and finally noticed the Eddie Bauer backpack lying in a corner next to her desk. Her dad walked in and she backed up and fell on the bed. "Hey, be careful," he said. "Well...they moved the time up for the bus-you should eb at the stop at 7:30 so i'll wake you up around seven. We had a pretty late dinner tonight so it's 9 right now...you might wanna hit the sack soon," he warned her, looking around nervously.
She just nodded. "Why'd you do it?" she asked finally. "Do what?" he asked, even though he knew. "You know." she said.
"I d-don't know, Kristin. Just...forget about it, okay?" he begged. "You expect me to forget twelve years of my life?" she demanded. He didn't answer. "I have to get up early. With a baby and a little kid, you gotta do that so i'm going to bed in probably an hour. If you need anything, you know where I'll be." He said and walked out. SHe slumped onto her bed and looked around her room. It was the same she remembered it except there was a new bed and desk.
She laid down after getting changed and turning off the lights and prayed to God: "Please, God, this is to good to be true...Don't take it all away..."
