I’m the one that deserves to die, not him. Seems like it took forever to get home. I went straight to the hospital from the airport. Jr. was there w...th Monty’s mom and dad. They were both crying. Jr. ran to me sobbing.I asked where’s your dad. Jr. said he’s still in surgery, Mom. He was shot twice in the chest and in the leg. He responded to a bank robbery and they shot him ... they shot my dad.”I said, “It’s ok, Baby. He will pull through. He’s a strong man.”His dad, Abel, looked at me like I. Carl, our brother, set Angela up with Kyle. The parents were thrilled when Angela and I officially broke up. But mostly it was our mother.As soon as I thought of Kyle's name someone tapped me on the shoulder. I spun around and almost dumped my drink on my date. I might mention this date was not my idea. It was just for the dance. And Angela set me up with him."Hey Cleo. I didn't mean to startle you. Would you ... uh ... like to ... dance," asked my date.I had to smile. It was kind of cute how. "But she was not realy good at that shit.I mean the idea seemed good to her but when push came to shove,the bitch was chicken shit".Heathers smile widened and her eyes had a sparkle in them.I felt kind of uncomfortable under that smile of hers.almost as if I had suddenly found myself out of my depth,floundering a bit.I was greatful jack re-appeared with our drinks and the conversation returned to the normal banter.Well the evening ended as usual,with me crashed out snoring on there sofa so they. Chance. When I finally went back after he was home from burying Missy, I was going to tell him that I was going back to Bend. I didn't really want to do this but I didn't know what else to do. But when I got there and he had given me the master bedroom for my baby and me - and Mr. Chance had already moved things around I couldn't tell him no. I felt much more comfortable not living on the same floor. Besides the baby was so close, I knew I couldn't do anything else.I consider myself to be.
