Nate in the living room talking to Christian.
“Is she okay,” Nate asked me as I entered the room.
“She wants to talk to you,” I said. He nodded his head while standing up.
“Christian and I are going to go to my house. Have Brittney text me once she
calms down.”
“K, see ya guys later,” he said before heading to his room.
“Actually, can we go over to my house? My mom wanted us to sit down and
hang out for a bit,” Christian asked.
“Works for me, but I might pass out on your bed. I’m so exhausted,” I said
around a yawn.
“That’s fine,” he said wrapping his arm around my shoulders. “I think my mom
wants to talk to me mainly about what happened the other day.”
“Oh, if i was your mom I would want to, too,” I said with a small smile playing
on my lips. “I never asked, or at least I think I never asked, but what happened
to your dad?”
“Kate, I really wish I could tell you, but... I just can’t,” Christian said sadly.
“Christian, I don’t want to push you, but I feel like it’ll make you feel better if
you just let it out,” I told him as we walked to his house.
“I’ll tell you later tonight,” he said quietly.
“Okay, but don’t go all depressed on me,” I said.
“Sorry, I can’t help it. Every time I think about what happened it’s like I go
back to that day...” he trailed off sadly.
I stopped and turned to give him a hug.
“It’s okay,” I told him.
“No, it’s not,” he replied. “Kate, I can’t keep acting like a baby about what
happened to him. I can’t tear up every time someone asks me who my dad is.”
“It’s okay, let’s at least make it back to your house before we get sick,” I said
grabbing his hand and dragging him the rest of the way to his house.

I smiled down at the sleeping form of Sarah. I knew it was weird to just sit
there and stare at her while she was sleeping, but I could help myself. My
phone buzzed and I looked down to see who it was. It was a text message
from Nate:

Really? That’s awesome:) >N!ck<
