~Chapter Seventeen~
Krissy was awaken by the ringing of her cell phone
"Hello?" she said half asleep
"hey Kris..."
It took Krissy a couple seconds to realize who it was "Cally!! hi".
"Did I wake you?" Cally asked
"um no...well kinda, what time is it"? Krissy glanced at her clock it read 11:11 pm
"Make a wish!" said Cally as she looked at her clock.
"What!?" Krissy said sounding confused
"Make a wish it's 11:11..the only time four numbers show up together on a digital clock".
Krissy just laughed and closed her eyes...she made a wish. "Ok! done".
"So....how did it go? Did you see him?"
"Him?" it took Krissy a minute to realize Cally was talking about Ned. "It didn't go how I expected" she conitued. "I really don't want to get into this over the phone, but if you want to get together tommorrow after school I will definitely fill you in". Krissy yawned and put her head down on her pillow.
"Sounds good...um Kris, I hope you're ok..I mean I hope you're father, well I just hope he had an explanation as to why he left you and you're mother" said Cally with a voice of concern.
"I'll talk to you tommorrow" Krissy said goodbye, she looked at her cell phone and turned the ringer off.
Krissy walked home from school and headed to the Cally's house.
"Hey!! I didn't see you once at school today, I looked for you at lunch but..."
Krissy interrupted Cally "I actually left early".
"Oh! is everything ok?" Cally looked at her friend trying to read her.
"Umm.." Krissy cut off as she started to cry "No, not really!"
"Krissy!!! what happened? was it you're father? what did he do?" Cally put her arm around Krissy
"No its not him, he's not!" Krissy looked up at Cally "He's not my father!".
"What??" she answered sounding confused
"Yep! stupid me, so clueless!! god Cally do you know what kind of fool I made of myself?"
"I don't understand, Ned denied he was you're father?"
"Its true Cally! my mother even told me...her and Ned only pretended that he was my father, so my mom could win some stupid election! and in the mean time my mother forgot to fill me in.." Krissy wiped her tears from her eyes.
"Then who?"
"Who knows, some low-life in a bar my mom picked up one night?" said Krissy interrupting
Cally looked at Krissy "Your serious?"
"Yep, for all I know he could be some psycho on America's Most Wanted".
Cally hugged her friend "I'm so sorry".
"Its ok! I mean its for the better I guess, at least now I know Ned didn't abandon me..he has two kids ya know! Abigail and Maine, I actually thought for a split second I had a brother and sister". Krissy looked down at the ground "I just can't stop thinking of my aunt Kristina, I mean they lied to her! that must have hurt so much".
"So do you think that's what you're dreams were trying to tell you?".
"Yes...I really do, I mean if it wasn't for those dreams I wouldn't have started thinking of Ned. I wonder why she found it so important to tell me?".
"hmmmm" Cally thought about it for a moment "Maybe she's like you're guardian angel, she's their to show you whats true and to protect you".
Krissy smiled "You always have the right things to say, god Cal if it wasn't for you..I totally wouldn't have been able to afford going to Manhattan, you are the best friend ever".
"So are you! I mean god you put up with me going on and on about Daniel Thornhart and all along you knew what kind of jerk he really was".
Krissy just laughed "Anytime".
"I'm supposed to get something ready for dinner, mom and dad are coming home tonight..and aunt Lulu wanted to surprise them, who knows! but if you wanna stay you can".
"Oh no, I should get home to..I haven't seen my father, um Cameron in a couple days so I wanted to spend time with him".
"You know Krissy! even though you don't know where you birth father is, at least you have Cameron".
"Oh I know! but it's strange ya know? its like as much as he is my father..he's not my real father".
Cally smiled at her and said "Give me a call later..k?"
Krissy left her house.
Krissy ended up on the docks, she took her favorite seat on the bench and looked out at Spoon Island, her mother used to tell her stories of her Uncle Stefan, some sounded a little farfetched but after all the Cassadines were a strange family.
Krissy stood up, she turned around to pick up her school bag, but then felt a hand cover her mouth
"You scream I swear to god I will kill you" said the voice from behind.
