Temporary

Chapter 2

"We've planned this for years Kat, you can't back out on me now!" my sister 'calmly' tries to talk me out of my doubt cloud.

"It's not that I don't want to go through with it," I try to explain to her. "I just know I'll lose my friends along with the rest of the family." It's so hard to think that in less than 24 hours, I'll never see my family again. I'm not completely sure how to feel about that just yet.

"Come on babe, I'll be by your side the entire time. It's now or never." Kristen says.

Through all of my nerves, I can't help but be beyond ecstatic that I get to see Kristen after all of these years.

"When will you be getting here?" I ask.

"I'm getting on the plane in four hours and should be there around seven in the morning. I'll check into the hotel and then pick your up from school. We'll go from there with the rest," Kristen repeats the first part of the plan back to me, "get some rest and I'll see you soon Kit Kat!"

I hang up my phone and land on my pillow face first. I'm exhausted from planning and sneaking and being scared to go through with all of this. Years of arranging our scheme is finally upon us and I can't look back now. If I don't go through with this now, I never will. Thoughts of heartache and pain cajole me to sleep on my last night as Morgan Miles.

--

I'm awake before my alarm clock for the first time in my entire life. I've gotten up at least 4 times in the past few hours and I finally just gave up trying to sleep. I get ready for school and more importantly, after school. I started packing all of my clothes over a week ago and little by little sneak them into my car. I'm taking the rest of my belongings with me now and then I'll have packed everything.

Heading downstairs, I catch my dad watching yesterdays highlights on ESPN. I feel a surge of guilt and sadness run through me as I pad over to my dad and hug him tighter than ever before.

"Hey monkey, what's up?" He manages to squeak out from under my embrace.

"Nothing. I just love you, please remember that."

Knowing that he's going to start asking questions, I cut him off and explain that I'm going to be late to school. I race out of the house, not bothering to say my last goodbyes to my mother and brother. I have little to no relationship with them so it's probably best to say nothing at all.

I jump in my car with the rest of my belongings and start blasting my music to drown out the regret pulsing through my brain.

The rest of the school day was normal, up until the end. Everyone was getting ready for the biggest football game of the season. Everyone will be there, which is what makes that the perfect setting for our plan.

I tell Tara what's going to be happening and she assures me she'll be there with me until the end.

I leave the school a little before the final bell rings and sure enough, Kristen is there.

We both run at each other crying and screaming. I can't believe after 16
years, I have my sister back.

"Hurry and get in the car before anyone sees us," Kristen sniffs, "that would really suck if our cover was already blown."

On the car ride back we talk about everything and nothing, just glad to be back in each other's presence again. When we arrive at the hotel, we run over the rest of the plan to make sure it's full-proof. We finish getting ready and loading all of the luggage in the back of the car to go straight to the airport after everything is over.

My alarm goes off to let us know that we needed to leave. I call Tara and make sure that everything is ready and she assures me that it's good.

When we arrive at the stadium, there are thousands of people swarming through the gates including local news stations. Kristen is in disguise and I take her to the field house where we are meeting Tara.

Tara is not a slut, she just likes to have fun. At least that's what she's made me memorize for the past 5 years. So her job was to convince one of the band members to stall the halftime show for a few minutes. That's go time.

The game had a minute left before halftime and I was close to having a panic attack.

"Breathe Kit Kat, breathe. Three minutes, that's all you have to give. Then we leave, everything is over and your new life with me begins." Kristen calms me.

I nod and when I hear the buzzer, I take a deep breath and walk around to the field. I catch my brother's eye and he looks at me quizzically, but I turn before he can say anything.

Before I enter the gate, Tara hands me the microphone to the stadium. She hugs me tightly and tells me she loves me before pushing me through the gate to walk on my own.

I keep my head down when I hear people calling me and don't stop walking until I see the 50 yard line. I hear the microphone turn on over head and take one more deep breath before I look into the thousands of faces before me.
