~Chapter 15~
Kristy awoke early the next morning, after a night of tossing and
turning. She began to go through her exercises and went out for a run. On the
way back from her jog she stopped at a small market to get a bottle of water
to quench her thirst. She made her way to the back of the store and grabbed a
cold bottle. On her way to the register she noticed familiar blonde hair.
'What is he doing here?' she thought to herself. 'No, it can't be him'.
She ducked back into another isle and went to the cash register to pay. When
she got back to the house there were two extra cars in Jackie's driveway. Not
in the mood to go see what was going on she walked into her house closing and
locking the door, like she always does when she is home alone.
~*~At Jackie's~*~
"C'mon Ma, please tell me where she lives." Brian begged. He was getting
mad, but still anxious to find Kristy and see her again.
"I Can't tell you, I promised her that I wouldn't tell anyone" she
explained.
"But…"
"There are no but's about it, I am not telling you" Jackie scolded. Brian
pouted for a moment as Nick walked through the door.
"I went to the market and got us some junk food for tonight" he said.
"Whatever" Brian said walking out of the room.
~*~*~
Laying on her bed and thinking about her childhood, Kristy remembered the
place where her and Brian used to go after her Mother died. She pulled her
shoes back on and left the house.
~*~*~
"I am going for a walk" Brian called to everyone in the house as he walked
out the door. He walked across the back yard and in to the woods. It was
about a 10 minute walk to get through the woods to the small grassy meadow.
As he approached the little creek that flowed by the meadow he heard a sweet
melody surrounding the secret paradise. At first he thought he was dreaming,
then he saw the source of the beautiful song.
"Sparkle" he whispered to himself softly.
