Chapter Twenty-two: Everytime I Look At You- Blake Shelton

Kate's Point of View

"Your mom is a nice person." Rick says randomly.

"Yeah, I know."

"You look like her."

"I look more like my aunt."

"Really, can I meet her?"

"She died."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course you'd ask that." I haft laughed.

"What's that sppposed to mean?"

"Nothing, just never mind."

Long silence, "Everytime I look at you, I see what we've become."

"Huh?" I ask dumbly.

"Everytime-"

"Yeah, yeah, I heard that part, but what do you mean by it?"

"I mean everytime I-"

"Yes, I know that."

"Then why'd you ask?"

"Forget it."

"You forgot why you were asking?"

"No, I'm...just, go to sleep."

"Okay, goodnight." He says, yawning. This is what I love; silly conversations at two in the morning.

Talia crys; just as I was almost asleep.

"I've got her." Rick says, getting up.

"I'm coming, too."

"No, just lay back down." He says, I still follow him.

"I'm not good at listening to people."

"Yeah, I know." I smile.

We reach Talia's room, she'd stopped crying. Alexis was singing her back to sleep.

"Hi." Alexis whispers, "She is sleeping again."

"Thank you."

"Mmmmhmmm..." Alexis murmurs, laying Talia back down, "I've got her, you two go back to sleep."

"Thank you." Rick says, "But you need sleep."

"Dad, even if Talia didn't cry, I'd still be awake, I'm studing for the test on Monday. Plus it's Friday night, what normal teenager goes to bed before three in the morning on weekends? Just go back to bed."

"Okay." Rick says, takes my hand and leads me to our bedroom.


Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Okay, now I'm going to give you guys a little sneak peak of the next chapter:

Breathe- Taylor Swift

Rick's Point of View

"Ugh...come on, start up." Kate angerly yells at her car, trying to get it to start, "Damn it!"

"Kate, calm down." I say, gently touching her arm.

"It's not starting, and the storm is getting worse." She says.

"Just calm down and take deep breaths...breathe."

She takes a few deep breaths then tries again, "Stupid damn car!" She yells, apparently breathing doesn't work for her.

What did you think of this chapter and the sneak peak? Please Review!

Love, Alexis
