Kris was in her trailer laying on her bed thinking. There was no specific thing she was thinking about, it was just about everything and anything. When should I go and see those kids again? Why did their dad leave them alone? All these thought were rushing through her head all at once. Was it really Kerry on the phone that night? Should I tell Junior, what really happened? Kris didn't know what she was going to do, then there was a knock on her door. Kris looked up at the clock, it can't be Junior it isn't seven yet. Kris got up and answered the door, it was Matt. "Hey Matt,"
"Hey," Matt replied. "Can I come in?"
"Sure," Kris answered as she moved out of the way.
"So, did you go see them." Matt asked.
"Ya. But I only the two girls." Kris answered.
"Where was their father?" Matt asked curiously.
"I don't know." Kris said, "He just left them home alone."
What a jerk Matt thought, he could tell Kris was thinking the same thing. "When are you going to see them again?"
"I'm not sure," Kris said as she sat down at the table.
Matt sat across from her. "If you want I can go with you next time,"
Kris looked up and smiled, "No, but thanks for asking." she said as she laughed.
'Ring-ring.' Kris pulled her phone out of her pocket, "Sorry that's mine." She looked at the called ID. Kris almost went into shock, it was the same number that called who she thought was Kerry.
Matt looks at Kris staring at her phone. "Are you going to answer it?"
Kris looks up forgetting that Matt was there. "No," she said as she turned the phone off. Even though she was curious to know who it was, she wasn't going to answer it. Because if it was Kerry, she would be glad he was still alive. But she wouldn't want him to come back, he would just screw everything up.
Matt looked at his watch, "Well I gotta go, but I'll see you later." Matt said as he got up.
"Okay, later." Kris responded still thinking about the phone call.
