What Comes Up, Must Come Down-Chapter Four
**Enjoy :-) Sorry for not updating in so long, I'll try to get better and in the routine again. Please review.**
Kristin sat in the dorm that night. Just three more days until she and Scott were going to leave, but she couldn't really comprehend the thought of actually seeing her mother. After all, it had been 2, 3 maybe 4 years that she had seen her mother for more than one weekend, or at all possibly. She was gone so often that Kristin had forgotten what she looked like.
Kristin then looked around the room. Everyone was asleep, or so she thought. Daisy suddenly sat up, making Kristin jump a little. "Sophie's hurt," Daisy remarked. Kristin gave her a blank look, "What do you mean hurt? Is she okay?" she asked, her heart beating. Daisy shook her head. "Not that kind of hurt. Emotional hurt."
"Over what?"
"You."
"What'd I do?"
"You were so... So eager to see your mother that had abandoned you. What about Sophie?"
"Don't make me feel guilty for something I can't control."
"Don't make Sophie feel bad for something she can't control."
And with that, Daisy laid back in bed. "Freak," Kristin mumbled.

When Friday finally arrived, Kristin finally started thinking about what Daisy had said as she watched the kids at the benches. Daisy was in between Ezra and David. She hadn't spoken anything of that night, like Kristin had imagined it. Scott and Shelby were nestling together as they bid their farewells for the weekend. Jules and Auggie were hunched over a book as Auggie slowly read some paragraphs, every once in awhile stopping and smiling as he jotted down notes. Kristin couldn't help but smile; Auggie was real amazing in her eyes.
"Guys you should probably be getting ready," Sophie said as she walked up to the group. Scott frowned and kissed Shelby's cheek one last time. "I'll see you Sunday, okay?" he said as he hugged her tightly. Shelby nodded slowly. "Don't let him get to you, Scott," she warned.
Scott walked to the dorm to get his stuff while Kristin walked up to Sophie. "I'm gonna miss you, Sophie," Kristin said. Sophie smiled, "I'm going to miss you, too," and they hugged. "Here," Kristin said, handing her a note, "don't read it until I leave, though," Kristin said. SHe already had her bags so she hugged Sophie one last time and ventured for Peter's office to say good-bye, and Scott soon followed suit.
Sophie watched Kristin and Scott enter Martin Barringer's car as they drove off and took out the note.
'Dear Sophie,
I'm sorry if I hurt you. I love you more than I'll love my biological mom anyday. I was just excited because even though I'm mad at her you know I haven't seen my mom in a real long time. I'm gonna miss you for the two days I'm gone! I love you! -Kristin S.'
Sophie smiled and wiped a tear from her eye and placed the note back into her pocket.
