CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
~KAHLAN, CARLY AND KATE~
Kate stayed out of view from Carly, but still followed behind her, waiting for her to lead her to Kahlan; her daughter. And eventually she did. She saw Carly talking to a young girl in a cheerleading uniform. She had her hair up in a high ponytail, and white bangs lay in front of her left eye. Kate's mouth dropped. Her daughter had grown and she was beautiful.
"Hey there," I said to Carly when she came up behind me. She gave a smile, staring around at their fellow peers. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Their football team has won previous games, but something about this one was different. Something about this entire night was different. “What took you so long?”
"Dad made me meet his girlfriend," she b

~KAHLAN AND DAMON~Carly and I were in mid conversation when Damon and his little brother walked up. I quickly zipped my lip, and there was an awkward silence. Carly felt it as well, but she was quick to try and start a conversation to take away some of the silence and awkwardness."Hey Damon," Carly replied, "How are you?" Damon put his hands in his jean pockets. He wore a red long sleeve T-shirt."I'm good, you?" Before Carly could even answer, I butted in."What are you even doing here?" I asked. Mike flashed an uncomfortable look. Carly stared me in the face as if I were being rude. It was rude for Damon to walk up to me and interrupt the conversation that I was having with Carly."Well, Mikey and I heard about the part

~KAHLAN~I lay in bed, going over everything Damon had just told me in the car. First off, my mother was alive and well and in Florida. Second, Damon had lied to me. It now made sense why he believed I broke things off with him because of my mother. Why does everyone I love lie to me? When Damon dropped me off, the last thing he said was “I’m sorry”. I never responded. I jumped out of the car and ran into my house. He of course followed me, but there was no way in hell I was going to let him in. Now what? What was my next move? I knew Kate Mercer was alive, but where did she go? Is she shacked up in some old broken down hotel? Is she staying with a friend? And how was I going to find her? ~CARLY AND KATE~Carly quietly crept into her house. She didn’t want to wake anyone up, and she didn’t want her father to know that she came home three long hours after her 12:00 am curfew. She was about to head upstairs, when she spotted the kitchen light on. She made her way down the hallway, and

~CARLY~ As Carly drove to Kahlan’s house, she went over last night’s party in her mind. It was a great party, one of the first ones she had been to alone, without a date, and without James Blake. And she had fun. There was no walking on eggshells, or being careful about pissing people off, or wondering who it was ok to socialize with. Her mind felt at ease, until Micheal Meir showed up. She thought that everything that happened would just be a distant memory, something that would never be brought up and hopefully forgotten in time, but it wasn’t. Micheal brought it up. It was a secret she had to tell now in order to figure out what she was going to do next. She had to tell Kahlan. It was bad enough that in some odd way she felt guilty that she did what she did, but in another way, it felt as if she had finally gotten her revenge. Was that wrong? Yes it was. Micheal was innocent and yet he cou

~KAHLAN AND CARLY~Carly repeatedly knocked on Kahlan’s door. It's days like this that she wished she still had a key to Kahlan’s home. By the time she answered Carly’s knuckles hurt slightly from all the pounding.“Carly, what do you want?” Kahlan swung the door open with such force. The young woman was wrapped in a towel and dripping wet. Carly must have disturbed her swimming.“Oh, don’t be a grouch,” Carly replied, taking in the redness of her friend's eyes. Could that be from the chlorine, could she not have gotten a good night's rest, or had she been crying? “I need to talk to you.” Carly stares waiting for Kahlan to let her in. Kahlan took a deep breath.“Car
SECRETS CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
~KAHLAN, KATE, AND CARLY~“I can't… I can’t believe,” my voice trailed off as I stared at my mother. I dreamed of this moment, and what I would say. Dreamed? I dreamed of this… this surprise that was supposed to be happy… but that’s not what I was feeling. I thought that when this moment occurred, I’d run into my mother’s arms, hug her tightly, and tell her how much I missed and loved her. But none of those actions had entered my mind. I was supposed to be happy, but instead I was furious. “You have some nerve showing up here.” Kate stares. Carly stood by and watched, trying to understand.“I know I haven’t been around,” Kate started, “And believe me when I say I am sorry. But it doesn’t matter where I’ve been, what does matter is that I am here now.” I stood tall.
SECRETS CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
~JUSTIN AND KAHLAN~ I woke up to the sound of running water from above my head. It was really hard for me to open my eyes, they stung and felt so heavy, but somehow I did. I looked to the right and saw that the sun was about gone, and the moon would soon be up in the sky. I knew I didn’t lie down by myself, but I sure did wake up alone. The living room light was dimmed and the other surrounding areas were in darkness. I could only make out the outline of furniture and objects. I climbed to my feet and stretched. “Justin?” I said softly, feeling a bit scared to leave the light, but I did. I made my way upstairs, following the water sounds. I entered the bathroom in my bedroom, where I saw Justin dipping his hands into a halfway full tub, with plenty of bubbles and red Candles that I never use. They were a gift from Angie. It was one of the last things she had gotten me. “Justin?” His head quickly turned to face me. “You’re up.” he said, climbing to his feet, flashing a slight smile.

~THE MEIR FAMILY~ The Meir family sat down for dinner. Ella stared at her children. Every child had that look of worry displayed on their faces. She was their mother, why couldn’t she help them like a mother should be able to? Lately she had been feeling as if she had failed as a parent. Brooke and Micheal played with their food pushing around their peas and mashed potatoes. Damon just stared off into space. The silence was uncomfortable.“What’s going on?” Ella asked, not being able to handle her children’s sadness. They all looked up as if just now acknowledging that there were other people sitting at the dining room table. Brooke was the first to respond.“I’m just not hungry right now,” she murmured. Micheal nodded his he

~KAHLAN AND DAMON~“How long have they been out there?” Carly asked Justin as they watched through the kitchen window. Damon and Kahlan appeared to be in a very heated conversation. Carly had to sneak out of her house just to be there for Kahlan. Her father was pissed at her, but had no time to give her a good talking to, or ground her because he was too worried about his new girlfriend.“Not that long,” Justin murmured. Carly could see worry on Justin’s face. She just wasn’t sure what he was worried about. Was he worried about Kahlan and what she might do because she was so angry? Was he worried about Kahlan because of what Damon might do because he was so persistent? Or was he worried that their heated argument would somehow show the lust they still had for each other?“He said he w
