Chapter 11: Checking on Kelly
"How are you doing?" I asked.
"Sam, would you take me home please?"
"I thought you were going to stay here this weekend."
"I don't think that's such a good idea. You saw what happened in the car? We need our separate spaces,
being so close could make things worse." Kelly replied.
"Kel, I didn't realize things were this bad. How long has it been like this?" I asked with concern.
"Well, just after they left Boston, Matt and I were just like you and Jeff - loving, sweet, it was perfect. I
don't know what happened after that. It was like he had less and less time for me and he didn't really
seem to have an interest in what was going on with me. He just wasn't around and I turned into a nagging
witch."
"Do you really think Matt's having an affair with Lita?"
"Of course not. I know they're just friends. I'm jealous, she gets to do everything with him. I don't know
why I accuse him, maybe I'm just trying to get his attention. It's wrong, I know, but before I can think,
I've already said it. I just want things to be the way they used to be. I'll do whatever I have to." Kelly
explained.
"It can only get better." I said.
"I want to believe that. It's not fair for you and Jeff to have an awful weekend because Matt and I are
having problems though."
"I'm sure it wouldn't be that bad. Are you sure about this?"
"Yeah, I think it would be for the best if I stayed at my own apartment."
"Okay, let me just let the guys know that we're leaving." I said as I got up from the couch and headed
back down the hallway.
