Kris got out of the car, and the little girl walked up to her.
"Hi." the little girl said.
"Hey," Kris said back, that was about the only thing Kris could say.
"I didn't think you would come back," the little girl said.
"Why not?" Kris asked.
"Because you have such a busy life." the little girl answered.
Kris bent down to her level, "What's your name?"
"Kelsie," she said.
"And I'm Alley," a voice said.
Kris looked at the other girl, and stood up. "Hey,"
"Well, we're glad to see that you're okay." Alley said.
"Thanks," Kris said. "I actually just came to say thank you."
"Well, you're welcome," Alley said. "John, would say the same thing, but him and dad aren't here."
"You guys are here alone," Kris said, she kinda felt concerned. Her mom always left her alone by herself, and she always ended up in trouble.
"Ya," Kelsie said.
"We're actually not supposed to be outside." Alley added.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Kris said, "I didn't know."
"It's okay," Alley said. "We kinda wanted to get some air anyway."
Kris laughed. Then her phone rang, it was Junior. Oh no, I forgot I was going to meet Junior. "Um.. I'm sorry but I have to go."
"That's fine," Alley said.
"Will you come back?" Kelsie asked.
"Ya, of course I will." Kris said as she looked at her phone again, but she didn't answer it. The girls waved good bye as Kris got in her car and turned around. I hope I will come back, Kris thought. They are nice people, and I kinda like them. I kinda also owe them my gratitude...
