Wow I didn't know it had been so long since I updated. Truth be told I have other things to work on and worry about. I am back with another chapter so I hope you all like it.


"That was an awesome match Kali." Christy said walking through the curtain.

"You too, Christy." The girls hugged and walked down toward the locker room. On the way down the hall, Kali noticed Randy sitting down with his head in his hands. "I'll catch up to you later." She told Christy and walked over to Randy. "Randy?" She asked sitting next to him now.

Randy looked up and then back down again. "Good match." Was all he said.

"Are you okay? You look like someone just died." She said softly.

Randy looked up at her. "My father is in the hospital. He had a stroke." Randy said looking back at the ground.

Kali was in complete and udder shock. Bob was like a second father to her. "Is he going to be okay?" She asked on a shaky voice.

Randy shook his head. "They don't know. He hasn't woken up yet." He paused. "I'm worried about him Kali."

Kali nodded her head. "We'll go see him after your match okay?" She said firmly.

"You are going to come with me?" He asked unsure of why she was offering.

"Of course I am. Bob is a father to me too. You know that."

"Thank you Kali." Randy said hugging her. Then he sighed. "I have to do my thing now. I will meet you by the car okay?"

"Sure." Kali answered as he walked away. She sat there for a moment soaking everything in. Then she remembered that she was supposed to see John tonight. Kali rushed back to the locker room and searched for her cell phone.

"Kali are you okay?" Torrie asked looking at the young girl throw clothes out of her bags.

"Yeah, I just need my phone." Kali said as she found it. Sitting down she dialed John's number. When he didn't pick up his voice mail came on. "Hey John, it's Kali. Something important came up and I have to go back to St. Louis tonight. I'll call you as soon as I can. I love you." Kali hung up the phone.

"Is everything okay?" Torrie asked a little concerned.

"Oh, um yeah it's alright I hope." Kali stood up and started gathering her clothes from the floor and chairs. Once she had everything packed she headed out to where Randy had parked his car. A few minutes later he showed up. "You didn't take a shower?"

Randy shook his head. "No, I just want to get there as soon as I can." He said getting in the car.

Kali got in knowing that this was not going to be a weekend vacation.


John yawed as she sat up in bed. Tonight was the last night on the road for him this week. He couldn't wait to get home to Kali tomorrow.

"Good morning sunshine." Rachel said from the bathroom. She walked out in nothing but a towel.

"You know you could get me into trouble looking like that." John smiled at her. "Did you sleep well?"

Rachel giggled. "After everything we did last night, it was hard not to. I'm just sad that I have to leave today." She frowned.

John stood and walked over to her. "You know that you can come see me anytime you want." He gave her a light kiss on the cheek. "Now get ready so you don't miss your flight.

"Alright, but only because I love you." Rachel said walking into the bathroom again.

"I love you too honey." John said walking over to his bag. He knew that it was a very wrong thing to have Rachel here without Kali knowing. If it got back to her that he had a girl sleep in this room last night, she would be heartbroken. It was a surprise when Rach called him and told him that she was coming. There was no way that he could say no to her. She was such a fun girl and John missed spending time with her. He just hoped that Kali wouldn't find out.


Kali shielded her eyes as she stepped out of the car. She and Randy made it to the hospital very early this morning. After a couple of hours Kali decided that she wanted to go to a hotel to sleep it off. Randy stayed in the room with his father while she left. She saw Randy sitting on the curb outside as she walked up. "How is he?" she asked sitting next to him.

"He's awake." Was all Randy said.

"That's great news right?" Kali asked a little unsure.

Randy shook his head. "Yeah it's great news. He can't speak, but he seems fine."

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Do you want to go for a walk?"

"Sure." She replied standing up. They headed for the tiny wooded area next to the hospital. "What's going on?"

Randy sighed. "I'm not sure. I was watching my mom last night cry and hold onto my dad like she will never see him again." He paused. "They love each other so much. I know that, that is what I am missing in my life now. I still young, but it's never too early to fall in love and start a family."

"Randy I," was all she got out before he kissed her. Kali sank into the warm pressure of his lips and did the worst thing she could. She kissed him back.


Okay there you go. I hope to have a new chapter up as soon as I see how many people still like this story. Please let me know what you think.
