Kyndal Moore and Rilee Bridges were stretched out across Kyndal’s bed watching a movie. ‘’It is so cool having a roomie now,’’ said Kyndal. ‘’Yeah,’ said Rilee with a sigh. ‘’Rilee what is wrong?’’ asked Kyndal. ‘’Nothing,’’ said Rilee. ‘’Come on Rilee, what is wrong?’’ asked Kyndal pausing the movie. ‘’I know, I am only staying here until mom gets back from California, but I was hoping while I was here, we could be sisters instead of roomies,’’ said Rilee. ‘’When is your birthday?’’ asked Kyndal after thinking for a few moments. ‘’I’ll turn 17 in November,’’ said Rilee with a puzzled look on her face. ‘’I turn 17 in September. Do you know what that means?’’ asked Kyndal. ‘’What?’’ asked Rilee. ‘’Your my little sister,’’ said Kyndal hugging Rilee. ‘’A big sister this is totally awesome,’’ exclaimed Rilee with excitement.
JJ was watching her baby niece Olivia while her sister Ashley was working. JJ’s boyfriend Jason knocked on the front door. ‘’Come in,’’ said JJ. ‘’I know you are busy tonight babysitting and can’t come over so I decided to come hang out with you and Olivia for a little while,’’ said Jason. ‘’I would ask you to spend the night with me but you have a problem sleeping in a girl’s bed,`` said JJ. ‘’I thought we settled that months ago,`` said Jason with a puzzled look on his face. ‘’I was just teasing you,’’ said JJ hugging Jason. ‘’Momma,’’ said Olivia while JJ’s back was turned. ‘’Jason, quit being silly,’’ said JJ. ‘’That wasn’t me,’’ said Jason. JJ quickly turned around and saw Olivia looking at her. JJ reached down and picked Olivia up. ‘’Ashley is going to crap. Olivia said her first word and she missed it,’’ said JJ rocking Olivia.
JJ and Jason was cuddled up in bed watching the late news. JJ set up and turned the volume up when a news story aired. ‘’Oh my gosh,’’ exclaimed JJ in disbelief. She turned the tv off and turned to Jason. “What do we do?’’ asked JJ with a concerned look on her face. “ What do you mean ?’’ asked Jason. ‘’What do you mean! You just saw the story on the news. Rilee’s mother just killed her husband and mistress, then turned the gun on herself,’’ said JJ. ‘’The old biddies at the Dockside Baptist Church will be talking about it tomorrow before the service and Rilee doesn’t need to find out that way,`` said Jason. ‘’Your right. What should we do?’’ asked JJ. ‘’We have to make sure she misses church tomorrow,`` said Jason. ‘’How?,’’ asked JJ. ‘’Take her to breakfast and then go shopping,`` said Jason. ‘’That’s a great plan! That is why I love you. You are a freaking genius,’’ said JJ picking up the telephone.
JJ, Kyndal, and Rilee were eating breakfast at the Wide Awake Cafe. ‘’Kyndal, Did you hear Making Music just opened?’’ asked JJ trying to make conversation. ‘’JJ, that is old news. Making Music opened five months ago in the midtown shopping center in Castleberry,’’ said Kyndal. ‘’Oh, have you been there?’’ asked JJ. ‘’No, but I would like to,’’ said Kyndal. ‘’I know let’s go after breakfast,’’ said JJ. ‘’Castleberry is a thirty mile round trip and church starts at ten forty-five,’’ said Rilee. ‘’We have plenty of time to go and get back before church,’’ said JJ looking at her watch.
JJ where are you going?’’ asked Kyndal when she went straight at the intersection of Main and Fairview. ‘’Castleberry,’’ said JJ. ‘’I hate to tell you this but you are going the wrong way,’’ said Kyndal. ‘’What do you mean?’’ asked JJ with a puzzled look on her face. ‘’You was supposed to turn left on Fairview and then get on Interstate 90,’’ said Kyndal. ‘’I am going to take the long route to Castleberry,’’ said JJ. ‘’You mean go out Main to Highway 227 and take a left, but why it would be faster going I-90,’’ said Kyndal. “I know, but I am 17 and just got my drivers license. Mom would take my driving privileges if she found out I was driving on the interstate,’’ said JJ. ‘’Good point,’’ said Kyndal. JJ handed Kyndal her cell phone. ‘’Make sure I don’t miss any turns when we get to Castleberry,’’ said JJ.
JJ, Kyndal, and Rilee entered Betty Moore’s house late Sunday Evening. ‘’Did you girls, have fun today,’’asked Betty. ‘’We sure did. We went to Castleberry and looked in the Making Music Store. Found what I want for my birthday,’’ said Kyndal with a smile on her face. ‘’Sorry, we missed church,’’ said Rilee with a concerned look on her face. ‘’Don’t worry about honey, ever once in awhile you need to get out and do something with your friends,`` said Betty putting her arm around Rilee. ‘’I guess I need to get home,’’ said JJ turning around to leave. “JJ it is pretty late. Why don’t you spend the night. I will call your mother and let you know,’’ said Betty. ‘Please stay and have a sleepover with us,’’ said Kyndal. ‘’Ok, I will stay,’’ said JJ. ‘’All right,’’ exclaimed Kyndal and Rilee hugging JJ
Rilee was sitting in class listening to her teacher Breanna Thomas. Dockside High Principal George Shuman opened the door. ‘’Ms. Bridges, I need to talk to you in my office,`` said George. Rilee quietly got up and left the room. Everyone in the class stared as she walked out the door wondering what she had done to have to go to the principal's office,
Rilee entered the principle office. ‘’Set down, Ms. Bridges,’’ said George. ‘’What did I do wrong?’’ asked Rilee. ‘’Nothing,’’ said George with a sigh. ‘’Then why I am here?’’ asked Rilee with a puzzled look on her face. ‘’Ms. Bridges, I have been in the public school system for almost forty years and this is the first time someone has asked me to break bad news to a student,`` said George looking out the window. ‘’Bad news?’’ said Rilee with a confused look on her face. George walked over and sit down on the principal's desk.’’Ms. Bridges, Betty came to me and told me that she didn’t know how to break the news about happened in Los Angeles and asked me if I would talk to you about it,`` said George. “What happened in Los Angeles?’’ said Rilee. ‘’Your mother shot and killed your father, his mistress, and then took her own life,`` said George. ‘’That’s a lie. Who came up with such a story,’’said Rilee angrily. ‘’It’s not a lie or made up story with was on the news Saturday evening,’’ said George. ‘’Oh my gosh,’’said Rilee with tears running down her face when she realized that was the reason JJ took her and Kyndal out of town Sunday Morning. Rilee got up, ran out the principal office, and down the street.
Rilee sat down on a bench outside the Downtown Bristow and started crying. After a good cry the aroma of coffee and food cooking began to entice Rilee to go inside. She went inside and sat down at the counter. ‘’Can I help you? ‘’ asked Ashley Tanner, JJ’s sister. Rilee stuck her hand in her pocket and took out four quarters, a dime, a three pennies. ‘’What can I get for a dollar and thirteen cents?’’ asked Rilee. The look of on Rilee’s face caused Ashley to remember the look on her sister's face when she was told that her father had been killed during a robbery. ‘’I will be right back,`` said Ashley. She went to the kitchen door. ‘’Leroy, I need one Bristow Breakfast Plate,’’ said Ashley. After placing the order Ashley poured Rilee a cup of coffee and started washing dishes. ‘’Order up!’’ shouted Leroy a few minutes later. Ashley got the order and put it in front of Rilee. ‘’Coffee and breakfast is on me,’’ said Ashley.
JJ was sitting on the floor in the living room playing with Olivia. Ashley walked in after working at the Downtown Bristow. ‘’I don’t deserve to have you as a sister,’’ said Ashley hugging JJ with tears running down her cheek. ‘’What are you talking about?’’ asked JJ with a puzzled look on her face. ‘’Rilee came into the Bristow today and all I could see when I looked at her was the same look you had when mom told you that dad had been killed in a robbery,’’ said Ashley crying. ‘’I am still lost,’’ said JJ. ‘’Instead of being the big sister that I should have been by being there for you I acted like it didn’t bother me and didn’t have time to listen to boo hooing. Then mom met another guy and what did I do? I had an affair with him. Sometimes I wonder if anything good will ever come out of the pain and hurt I have caused this family’’ said Ashley crying. ‘’Momma,’’ said Olivia looking up at Ashley. ‘’There is your answer,’’ said JJ. ‘’Oh my gosh! Olivia you just said your first words,’’ said Ashley picking up Olivia. ‘’Me and Aunt JJ loves you so much,’’ said Ashley rocking Olivia. Ashley started up the stairs with Olivia. ‘’I am going to give Olivia a bath and put her to bed. It is still early enough for you to go hang out with Jason. Oh by the way, you can go out the front door instead of climbing out the bedroom window. You are horrible at trying to hide you are sneaking out at night,``said Ashley with a smile on her face.
