Kenzie blinked, her mouth forming words, but her voice failing her. Leah must have heard about her mom; why else would she be calling?

No. No, that wasn't like her, to only call because someone died. That thought must have been the grief talking. Well, Kenzie wouldn't have it. She shook the thought away, leaning back into her seat.

"Thanks," she sighed. "I think I'm going to need quite a bit of help for a while. Although, I do have someone who's been doing a very good job at that." She looked at Hunter out of the corner of her eye, almost hoping that he hadn't heard her, but also hoping that he had at the same time.

Leah nodded. "I'm–I'm really sorry that I didn't call you earlier. Something happened–but you don't want to hear about that right now. But it still wasn't an excusable reason to lose touch with you." She said apologetically. "Just tell me what I can do for you, and it'll be done."

"All right, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you again. I…" Kenzie sighed, trying to find words to speak. "I guess that, right now, all I need is some time to think, ya know?" Her voice fell to a near whisper as she choked out her words through tears that threatened to spill over, "It's hard."

"I know it is Kenzie. Believe me, I know. I'll…call you later, okay?" She said, sliding her hand through her sister's hair.

"Mm-hm. Thanks."

Ugh, Kenzie's brain had clearly decided to take a holiday, because 'thanks' was apparently the only thing she could say right now.

"Well, uh, 'bye, Leah," she said after a second. She waited for her friend to say her own goodbye before hanging up and closing her eyes with a heavy sigh.

No more crying. No more crying. No more crying, she chanted silently, trying to keep her tears at bay. Oh, how she wished that they weren't driving at that moment! What she would do for a hug right now, even if it wasn't from Hunter…

"Bye Kenzie." Leah said, hanging up. She looked down at Veronica. "Why don't we go eat out for breakfast?" Ten minutes later they were out the door and on their way to an American Table.

McKenzie pushed play on the music, though it wasn't helping as much this time. She wrapped her arms around herself, then looked back out the window.

Oh, Mama. What am I going to do without you?

Hunter was silent the whole time Kenzie was on the call, but when she was finished, he put an arm around her shoulders despite driving. He felt a little irritated that all of Kenzie’s friends hadn’t called her or even met up with her to help her get over her grief. He hadn’t even heard about any of her friends from her.
“We’re almost there,” he told Kenzie softly.

Kenzie sighed.

"Thanks," she breathed quietly. "For everything. I don't know what I did to deserve you."

(EDIT: I just realized that this is the 3,700th post! Only 300 more to get to 4,000! And 1,300 more to get to 5,000!)

(I love how far this RP’s come to!)

Hunter smiled.
“Funny. I ask myself what I did to deserve you every day, too,” he murmured, squeezing her shoulder. “Ah, we're here. Just tell me when you’re ready and we’ll go in.”

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be right now," Kenzie whispered, staring at the building that loomed in front of them.

“Well, let’s go, then,” Hunter said as he parked his car before getting out.
“I’ll hold your hand, too,” he teased.

Kenzie rolled her eyes and stepped out of the car.

"I would actually appreciate that," she said, reaching her hand out towards Hunter.

Hunter grinned, locking his fingers with Kenzie’s.
“Well, lead the way,” he said, motioning her to move with his free hand.

With a sigh, Kenzie started towards her father's apartment, holding onto Hunter's hand like it was her lifeline. And it may as well have been.

They walked into the building and down the hallway that her father's door was in. Kenzie stopped when they finally reached it, staring at it.

(Lol. Me, tho.
Except I'm too obsessed w/this site to do that…)
