Chapter 12
Andy watched the silent argument between Kallie and Destiny play out, while they had theirs; he decided to have one as well. He took the time to think about what happened tonight. He looked over his behavior and realized that he was acting different than he usually would. He socialized with the kids and Destiny, was well relaxed, and he enjoyed him-self. He laughed with the kids, sang with them and he even acted like one. He even felt different. Throughout the night, he felt acceptance, worry, joy and love. Love, he thought about that for a minute. Yeah, he couldn't deny that after hanging out with her and her kids; he loved them like they were his own which caused him to worry when near the end of the game they all stiffened and paled. He noticed that all the children started to move to other places in the room or other rooms. He decided to keep track of where they went, just to be safe. He saw Scott leave to go home. Jade get up to go to the greenhouse. Sean get up and sat on the window seat, in front of an open window, and close his eyes like he was listening for something. Kallie stood in front of a window, just staring. Jean never moved from her chair, but now she looked like she was concentrating and in pain. He was going to ask if she was alright, when the sight of Jewel kept his mouth shut. She was in a ball, in a corner rocking back and forth. Sweat covered her forehead, and she had pain and confusion written all over her face.
"Jewel?" He called out to her.
