~Chapter 6~ Harmony
I was home when I got this weird call. I had been looking though pictures of my parents when the phone rang. "Hello?" "Simone, go the Bennett's house and see Kay now!" "What? Who is this? And why would I want to see Kay?" "Just go over there, Simone." And then they hung up. It was so weird. It didn't sound like anyone I knew but I decided I would go over to the Bonnet's house anyway. I thought I could apologize to Kay for being so rude. As I walked out the house I saw Whitney and Chad looking through my parents papers. I didn't even say bye.
When Simone left, I tried to get her attention but it was to late. We weren't even talking. "Chad, I wish she would at least talk to me." "Whitney, she's jus upset. Give her time." "I'm trying to." I looked in the box that I was looking through the box that was titled birth certificates. I had already looked at Simone's and nothing unusual showed up. Then I opened mine and something did look a little strange. There were adoption papers. "Chad, come see this." "What?" "There are adoption papers in my file." "Adoption papers? But Whitney you weren't adopted." I started to read it. Next to Biological Father it said TC Russell but next to Biological Mother it didn't say my mother it said Rebecca Hotkiss. I was so shocked. My parents had lied to me all these years. "Chad, you want believe this." "What is it?" "It says that I'm not my mother's child." "Whitney that can't be." "But it can be Chad. And it is." Then I broke out in tears. And Chad held me.
When I go to Kay's house, I had this weird felling that something wasn't right. I knocked on the door, Charity answered. "Oh hey Simone." "Hey Charity, can I speak to Kay." 'Sure let me go get her." She went upstairs and it seemed like she didn't come down until what seemed forever. When she did come down she looked very heart. She walked over to the phone and called her Uncle Sam. "Luis, can I please speak to my Uncle? Thank you. Uncle Sam, can you please come home quickly? No, everything isn't fine. Please hurry. Bye." Miguel, Jessica and I asked her at the same time what was wrong. She told us to wait until her uncle gets home to ask questions. So we all sat down and waited.
When I got the call from Charity, she really worried me. I couldn't possibly think that of something else that could wrong. I was just praying that I didn't lose anyone else I love because I knew I couldn't take it. When I got home, Charity quickly came up to me and said that we need to talk in private. I took her into the kitchen. "Charity are you ok? What's wrong?" "I'm fine but it's Kay?" "Kay what's wrong with Kay?" "I think she ran away because all of her stuff is gone and her suitcase." "Charity, she can't be gone." I felt like crying. I walked into the living room. I had to tell everyone because I knew they would have to know. "Guys I have some bad news…" "What is it dad?" "It's Kay. She ran away." "What no she couldn't have. Dad if this is a joke it's not funny!" All the sudden I got really mad. "No it's not a joke! But I really not surprised. Jessica you were always so mean to her! And Charity you took over life! Simone and Miguel you two forgot you friendship with her. And I stopped loving my little girl." And then I started crying.
As soon as my dad started crying I left and went over to Reese's. He quickly let me in. "Jessica what's wrong?" "Oh Reese, Kay ran away. And I just can't take it. First my mother and now Kay. I don't know what to do Reese; I just can't take it anymore. Can you please just hold me." "Of course, Jessica." I then start crying and he held me in his arms. I had never felt so protected before in my life. I for that one moment felt like there was nothing wrong in the world. I just wished that he would never had let go of me. But he did. "Jessica, you know you do have to go back home. You've been here ever since your mother died." "I know but can we just go to the Book Café before I go home." "Sure, I'll do that just for you." I hate to think that if it wasn't for my mother's death I won't ever realized how special Reese was.
We I got to Harmony, I went into this place called the Book Café. It was very nice. It looked just like a place I would love. I sat down at one of the tables and ordered a cup of coffee. After I finished the cup of coffee, I decided that I need to find out if there was a place available for me to stay at. I saw this couple sitting over at the table near by so I decided to ask them. I walked over to them. "Excuse me but I was wondering if you knew of a place where I can stay? Oh by the way my name is Chloe Lane." The girl spoke up, "Yes actually I do. My family owns a B and B. Oh my name is Jessica and this is Reese. If you want me to show you the place, I'll take you there." "Well that would be very nice." I was so glad I met them and especially because that Reese person looked really cute.
