It was far past the time that Kyra was supposed to be in bed. Her mother had already fallen asleep, and when Kyra was sure the coast was clear she grabbed the phone and ran to the closet. She closed the door and dialed a familiar number. She was calling Cheyenne at home. She impatiently waited as it rang, until finally Cheyenne answered. "Hello?"
"Cheyenne, it's me," she told her.
"Oh, hi! How is Texas?!" She asked.
"Fine, hey, listen I called for a reason. I don't know if I'm just loosing my mind, but I needed a second opinion."
"Ok, I'm listening."
"Alright, well…it's mom and dad. Do you remember, before we left, when all they would do was fight?"
"Uh huh," she responded, suddenly intrigued.
"So when we left home everyone thought that she was going to drop me off and that would be it. We didn't think that she would say anything to Dad."
"Right, so?"
"Now that we're here, they are getting along just fine. Last night mom went grocery shopping and didn't get home until sometime after me and Jake fell asleep, and not only that, but when we got back from swimming, Dad was here! He was in the room with Mom. She didn't ask him to leave or anything. I don't know how long he was here before we got here, but still. A little strange don't you think?"
"Well, kind of. Where are you going with this?" Cheyenne questioned. Kyra heard Elisabeth crying in the background and then Cheyenne said, "And make it snappy."
"I think there is something going on between them. Please tell me I'm wrong!"
"Oh, wow!" Cheyenne never thought of it that way, but now that the idea was thrown at her, she was thinking that it didn't sound out of the question. As a matter of fact, she was thinking that it sounded pretty damn believable.
"Cheyenne!" Kyra raised her voice. She then got quiet again, fearing waking her mother. "Don't 'Oh, wow!' me! I need to know that what I'm thinking is insane and that Mom would never do something like that!"
"Well, the way you're putting it…"
"And what about Jack?!"
"I don't know Kyra! Just keep an eye on them and call me back if anything else suspicious happens."
"Okay. I have to go. If anybody finds me in here I'm dead!"
"Bye."
"Good-night," Kyra said, and then she hung up the phone. She crept back, past her mother, into bed.
While lying there she thought all about what would happen if what she was thinking what a reality.
Little did she know how right she was…
Hear me
You gotta be out there
You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are
I'm waiting
'Cause there are these nights when
I sing myself to sleep
And I'm hopin' my dreams
Bring you close to me
Are you listening?
Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me
I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
No one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?
Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
I'm restless and wild
I fall, but I try
I need someone to understand
Can you hear me?
I'm lost in my thoughts
And baby I've fought
For all that I've got
Can you hear me?
Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
