Life Changing

Chapter 50

A month had passed. Everything was going fine so far but Emily had only seen Amy a total of five times that month. The parole board had gotten Amy a job at a local grocery store. Emily called her at least two times a day. Emily, Sam and Penelope were coming back from the road in a few hours. Amy went up to the main house to make dinner for them. Before she got started she used one of the bathrooms on the first floor. She looked at herself in the full-length mirror on the bathroom door. She looked similar to Emily except her hair was black and down to her shoulders and her eyes were green. Two hours later Emily, Sam and Penelope pulled in the driveway.

"Well the house is still standing." Emily said.

"Give your sister a break." Sam said.

They went inside and could smell food cooking.

"Amy?" Emily said.

"Kitchen." Amy said.

They went into the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Emily asked

"What's it look like?" Amy said. "I'm making dinner." "I'm making onion chicken, fried potatoes and corn bread." "You're just in time." "Everything is ready." "I hope you guys are hungry."

They just got done eating.

"That was delicious Amy." Sam said.

"Well Emily's the one who taught me how to cook."

"Yeah but you've come up with your own recipes over the years." Emily said. "How's your job going?"

"Well it wouldn't be my first choice of careers but it's a start to becoming a productive citizen again."

"Amy you're allowed to travel as long as you don't leave the state right?" Sam asked.

"Yeah why?"

"Well we have a few house shows in Augusta in two days." "We want you to come with us." "We think you'll have fun."

"I'd love to." "Thank you for inviting me."

"You're welcome."

"Why can't you leave the state Amy?" Penelope asked.

"Well I misbehaved and now I'm not allowed to leave the state for awhile."

"What did you do?"

"Penelope mind your business." Sam said.

Two days later everyone was at the arena. Amy was at the make-up table with Emily and Penelope. Britt came up to them.

"Hi Emily." Britt said.

"Hi Britt." Emily said. "Britt this is my sister Amy." "Amy this is my best friend Britt."

"Hi Amy it's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you to." "Emily is there somewhere I can get a cup of coffee?"

"Down the hall, turn left and it's on your right." Emily said.

"Thanks."

Amy found catering and started making a coffee. A few seconds later Nic came up next to her and started making a coffee.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi."

"Are you new here?"

"No." "I don't work here."

"I'm Nic Nemeth."

"I'm Amy DiCaprio."

"DiCaprio?" "Are you by any chance related to Emily DiCaprio?"

"Yeah." "She's my sister."

"Sister?" He said confused. "Emily doesn't have a sister."

"Yes she does." "Hi."

"Well it's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you to." "Are all the other men who work here as attractive as you?" She asked smiling.

"Well I'd like to think not." He said smiling back.
