This thing with my dad has really been bugging me and on top of that I haven't seen or heard from Kitty. I wonder what's wrong with her? It was Wednesday morning already and I wasn't even halfway through my graduation speech.
"Pietro, telephone."
"Um... thanks Dad." Pietro narrowed his eyes wearily at his fathers frail form. "I think maybe you should try and get some rest now.
"I'll talk to you later son."
"Yeah Dad... later."
Pietro drew a long sharp breath as his father walked lethargically up the stairs. Why was this happening? It didn't seem fair that his father had been through all his life not knowing what was wrong with him and now all of a sudden he was gonna die from this mysterious illness. It didn't seem fair... it didn't seem fair at all.
Just then Pietro remembered the phone was in his hand.
"Uh hello?"
......
He then rolled his eyes in annoyance. "But Mr. Logan it's my day off, I'm not supposed to..."
......
"Alright, alright, I'll be right there."
Pietro slammed the phone down. "Great. Just great! Sometimes that guy can be a real pain in ..."
"Pietro?" His father called out to him from upstairs.
"Yeah Dad?"
"Who was that on the phone?"
"It was Mr. Logan. By the way, Dad I've got to run to the store for a little while, will you be alright for a few hours?"
"I'll be fine son, you go ahead."
"I'll catch you later Dad."
And on that note, he scooped up his house keys and headed out the door.
The day was long and tiring.
"Hey Pietro!"
"Oh hi Lance. What's up?"
"Didn't see you at school today, so I just came by to drop this off. I made a few calls and found out this guy is the best specialist in the entire county."
"Oh thanks man, I appreciate you going to all that trouble."
"Don't you want to go show your dad? I mean I'm sure he'll be stoked."
"It doesn't matter, it won't do any good."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing man. Just forget it."
"Come on Pietro, we're buds. Now I know something's bugging you, so give."
"My dad's dying Lance."
"Oh man... I don't know what to say. I'm really sorry."
"Forget it. Did you uh, did you see Kitty today?"
"No I didn't. Hasn't she called you or anything?"
"No she hasn't and I'm really worried about her."
After work I decided to go over to Kitty's house. Geez talk about being a fish out of water! Her house was bigger than my entire block! Yep, a regular fish out of water.
"Good afternoon ma'am. I was wondering if it was possible to have a word with Kitty."
"And you are?"
"I'm Pietro, I met you last Friday afternoon. Your niece spent the afternoon with me."
"Oh yes you're that young man who lives across town."
"How did you..."
"Oh please don't give me that, I could smell you townies from a mile away, although I must admit that their genealogical line is really improving, you are a pretty boy. But I still don't see why she's wasting her time hanging around with you, she could do so much better!"
"Not to be rude ma'am but you don't even know me. How do you know that I'm not good company for your niece?"
"No one from across town is 'good company' as you put it." The older lady gestured her hands around. "I told Kitty she couldn't see you anymore and I'm going to tell you the same thing. Kitty is forbidden to ever see you again and if I ever see you snooping around here again, I'll have you arrested! Do I make myself clear!" She spat out fast and furiously. (A/N: Paul Walker is so hot... isn't he?)
"Perfectly."
"Very well. Good bye."
I didn't see that coming. Talk about strict! It's a wonder Kitty even got to leave the house at all. I didn't even get to see if she was alright.
I lay on my bed staring blankly at the ceiling. I can't see Kitty anymore, my dad's dying... my life can't possibly get any worse. Just then the phone rang.
I couldn't be bothered to pick it up so I just let it keep ringing. It stopped for a while and then started ringing again. I sighed to myself and sluggishly got off my bed to grab my cordless which was somewhere in this mess of a room.
Ring, ring, ring...
Seriously, I need to clean this room up.
"Uh hello?"
"Hello Pietro?"
"Kitty, is that you?"
"Yeah but I can't stay long. If my aunt catches me I'm dead."
"I was worried about you. How are you?"
"I'm fine. Just got grounded for a while and I didn't feel much like coming to school."
"Well your aunt would make anyone feel isolated. I dropped by this afternoon and it wasn't very pretty."
"Really? Did she really lay into you? I'm sorry!"
"It's alright. I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I sort of missed you."
"You did? Really? I missed you too. Hey how about I come over tomorrow afternoon and we could hang out?"
"Are you sure you can? I don't want your aunt going psycho on you."
"She's got some meeting or the other tomorrow afternoon, she won't even miss me."
"Well great then, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Pietro, is something wrong? You sound kind or weird."
Wow this girl was good! And to think I was actually in a good mood when she called! How could she tell something was wrong?
"What do you mean?"
"What's wrong Pietro?"
"I'll explain tomorrow when I see you."
"I got to go, the warden's checking to make sure all lights are out."
"Sleep tight then."
"You too. Bye cutie!"
