"Kerry! Kyle's on the phone" her Mums voice rang up the stairs the next day. Kate's eyes were red from crying, she was falling apart and she knew it. Kerry walked down the stairs and reluctantly took the phone
"Hey Kyle,"
"Kerry, I'm sorry"
Kerry was surprised how he could have known about her Dad yet was beyond her
"I've met someone else" Kerry was shocked
"What, who, why?"
"I've met this girl Kerry, she is as dumb as me, I feel normal around her not dumb, Kerry say something"
"I only hope we can remain friends" With that she turned the phone off.
Bridget came down the stairs, pale and shocked
"I told Nick about Dad, he was really supportive, have you told Kyle"
"He dumped me, I don't care really because I would have soon anyway, I just want Dad back really, and that is all"
Rory came down the stairs he nodded at the girls he walked down to the basement.
"Is he still not talking?"
"No, but it hasn't even been a day yet, he will soon though"
Kate walked back in. "Girls, we need to sort out the funeral"
Rory walked back up, a Michigan base-ball cap on his head. Together they sat down choosing songs and outfits, the last song they looked at was "Wayfaring Stranger" his favourite song, something about the title got to them all even more, it doubled the impact of Paul's death, Kerry got up, and walked to her room, she still was not ready to say goodbye, to the only man who always supported her, no matter what.
