Chapter 11

"I'm home!" Kay screamed before she slammed the dorr very hard.

"Bam!"

"Hey! What the hell is going on?" Sam wanted to know.

"Sorry, daddy. i'm just in a bad mood." Kay apologized.

"Do you wanna tell me what's bothering you?"

"Maybe later. I wannna go and talk to beth at the Book Cafe."

"Oh ok! Why don't you try talking to your mother?"

"Yeah. You can tell me what's wrong." Grace said.

"But Beth knows what I'm going through. Besides your too busy with John and David."

"Kay, I'm not too busy for my children." Grace said.

"Well, maybe I can talk to you when it's something you can relate to."

"Wait, Kay," Grace began, "I do understand what your going through."

"Grace, if she wants to talk to Beth, then let her." Sam butted in.

"Fine. Whatever." Grace said a little hurt.

"Bye, mom, daddy." Kay said before she left.

Kay finally reached the Book Cafe. She couldn't go in though. Miguel was already there talking to Beth. I wonder if it was about that girl.

"Now what do I do?" Kay asked herself. "Maybe I should talk to mom. No I can't. she doesn't understand me. And Simone is too busy with Chad and Whitney. I know who! I'll call Theresa she always has a plan."

Kay pulled out her cell phone and called Theresa. Theresa answered her cell phone.

"Hello?" Theresa said.

"Theresa?" Kay asked.

"Yes."

"This is Kay. Is it okay if we talk? I have a lot on my mind and I have no one to talk to who will understand."

"Sure, Kay. I'm on my way to the mansion right now. I'll be there in about 10 minutes. Why don't you head over there?" Theresa said nicely.

"Okay. Thanks, a lot Theresa."

"No problem, kay. I'll see you in a few. Bye." Theresa said before hanging up.

"Alright. Now I have to get to the mansion. It's gonna take me 15 minutes so I better go now." Kay told herself.

"Kay!" Miguel screamed.

"Oh hi, Miguel." kay said trying not to sound rude.

"Is something wrong?"

"No I just gotta go to the mansion." Kay responded.

"Why?" Miguel questioned.

"I need to speak to your sister."

"Oh okay. Do you want a ride?" Miguel offered.

"Sure."

They got into Miguel's car.

"Are you gonna stay at the mansion?" Kay asked Miguel.

"No. I have to get home. Mama is real sick."

"I hope she's gonna get better. Tell her I said hi."

"I will. I'm really worried about her. She's have blurred vision and complaining of headachs. I just pray to God nothing serious is wrong with her."

"I know what you mean. Well, here we are. I'll call you tonight. Bye, honey," Kay said as she kisssed Miguel softly on the lips.

"Bye, Kay."

Kay got out of the car and steped up to the door.

"Knock, knock!"

"Hello, Kay." Ivy said a little confused.

"I'm here to see Theresa. Oh yes! She said she was expecting you. Come in. Theresa!" Ivy shouted.

Theresa appeared from the top of the stair case.

"Hi, Kay."

Kay thought to herself, "She doesn't look so good."

"Kay, I'm really sorry, but I'm not feeling very well." Theresa sounded very sad.

"Oh well that's okay! I'll find someone else to talk to."Kay said as she headed for the door.

"Wait Kay! You can talk to me." Ivy sounded like she wanted to help Kay.

"Well, if you want to?"

"Of course."

"Okay then. Theresa get some rest. We can talk later." Kay said.

"Yes. Theresa I'll talk to you tomrrow about that thing." Ivy said.

"Okay. Bye everyone." Theresa said as she went back to her bed.

"Knock, knock!"

"Who is it?" Theresa asked.

"It's me Ethan."

"Oh come in." Theresa sounded very tired.

"Hey I heard that you weren't feeling good."

"News travels fast in this house." she said trying to smile.

"I think you should go to see a doctor." Ethan said starting to sound very worried.

"It's just a cold." She assured him.

"I'm sorry about your mother."

"What do you mean?" A concerned theresa asked.

"Didn't you know."

"Know what?" Theresa asked confusedly.

"She's been having a hard time seeing and walking."

"Oh my!"

"Sorry to tell you." no it's fine, Ethan. Otherwise I wouldn't have know for a while. I'm gonna go and see her."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"I'll be fine, Ethan. thanks, for asking."

Theresa went to her mother's room and found her there lying in pain.

"Oh Mija!"

"Mama, are you alright?" Theresa asked very scared.

"It's just a cold. Don't worry."

"Mama I'm calling Dr. Russel for the both of us."

"If it makes you happy."

"It will. Something is wrong with both of us."

"Dr. Russell come over to the Crane mansion because I need to have you check out Mama and me."

"I'll be right there, Theresa."

Dr. Russel finally came over. She exaimed each of them seprately.

"So Theresa have you been using the bathroom a lot?"

"Yes."

"How about your appitite?"

"I can't eat anything. It won't stay down."

"Okay. have you thrown up?"

"Yes."

"One last thing. Do you fell really tired?"

"Yeah. I have been very tired lately."

"Okay. well, I'm gonna run a few test and get back to you in an hour or so."

"Okay."

"Hi, Pilar." Eve said laying her things down.

"Hello, Eve."

"Okay so you say that your having blurred vision."

"Yes."

"Headachs?"

"Oh Yes!"

"Trouble walking?"

"Yes."

"Frequent urination?"

"Yes."

"Pain in the back."

"Yes."

"Have you ever had a slip disc?"

"Yes. In my spine."

"Okay, well I'll do a few test on you and Theresa and I'll be back in an hour."

"Okay."

Eve left to go to the hosptial. She was back in an hour. That hour had been hell for Theresa and Pilar. God only knew what was wrong with them. Eve knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock!"

"Eve?" Theresa asked.

"Eve walked in with a lot of papers in her hand. From the look on her face the news wasn't good.

"Eve," Pilar began, "just tell me the news. I've already lost one son. Tell me what's wrong!"
