A/N: Well I finally add another chapter to this story… I hope sometime in the future to have it done, and have the chapters closer together so you guys don't lose interest… I'm sorry, but I am a fairly busy person… College does that to you, as I'm sure many of you are aware of… =)
Reba walked back upstairs to Lindsay's bedroom. Lindsay was sitting on the bed reading a book. Reba sat on the bed next to her.
"What are you readin' there Lindsay?" Reba questioned. Lindsay looked at her mother and handed her the book. Reba looked at her with a mystified look. "Why are you reading this?"
"Dad once told me it was his favorite book and I wanted to read it." Lindsay replied.
"Hon, but there are things in that book I'm not sure that you could grasp. There are things in that book that I can't understand." Reba said.
"Well I'm going to try. It's not a bad book mom for Pete's sake." Lindsay responded.
"Well I just know that I tried reading David Copperfield once myself when I was your age and it went right over my head." Reba said.
"You and I are different mom." Lindsay stated as she hopped up off the bed and walked to her bedroom door. Reba got up and stood in the doorway.
"I know that, that's why I want to talk to you." Lindsay sighed and sat back down on the bed. "I love you Lindsay, but we have to figure out what's going wrong between us. I want to bridge this gap sweetheart." Reba said as she rubbed Lindsay's shoulder. Lindsay started to break down in front of her mom.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so hateful to you. Sometimes I feel that what you do everything you do to hurt me or get at me for different things, but now I see that you haven't been trying. And every time I try and open up and be who I feel you want me to be it just ends up getting me in trouble." Lindsay said.
"Oh Lindsay, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. I didn't realize." Reba started to say. Lindsay looked up at her mother with tears in her eyes.
"That's the problem mom; you never realize what's going on in any of our lives." Lindsay stated.
"Now that's not true Lindsay." Reba replied.
"Yes it is, and you don't even know it." Lindsay exclaimed and stood up and walked over to the door.
"Lindsay?" Reba asked.
"Oh I don't care anymore." Lindsay said as she opened the door.
"Please don't go. Why don't we talk this out?" Reba asked. Lindsay turned and practically ran over and fell in her mom's lap sobbing.
"Mom, I miss dad. Why did he have to go? I'm sorry I ever blamed you. It's not your fault. I feel so many things and none of it is going to way I want it to." Lindsay said. Reba rubbed Lindsay's head.
"Sweetheart, it's alright. Don't worry. He went for work, it's nothing big. He loves you." Reba replied.
"I know." Lindsay leaned up and rubbed her eye to get the tears off of it. Reba and Lindsay heard sniffling at the door. They looked up to see Kara standing at the door with Jersey. Kara was crying.
"What's wrong Kara?" Reba asked. Kara walked into Lindsay's bedroom.
"I just heard you guys talking. I'm sorry Lindsay." Kara said. Lindsay looked at her little sister.
"It's okay Kara; I shouldn't have been as mean to you the last few years as I've been." Lindsay said.
"Well I didn't have to give it back. I'm sorry." Kara replied. Kara lightly hugged her older sister.
"Girls, why don't we go out for dinner?" Reba asked. They both looked at her and nodded.
