The Queen and the Crystal Vol. 3

Ch. 5 The End of Friendship

It was the next day and everyone was at work again all expect for Kelly. She decide to go shopping with Nathanael. She bought him new outfits to wear every day of the week. She was so happy to spend a day with him and only him.

After, they decide to go visit her parents. Nathanael knew where he was, he was all cooing in the back seat of the car as they drove up in the drive way. Her parents were so surprise to see her and Nathanael coming into the drive way. Her mother went to open the door and ran to the back seat. She was exultant to see her grandson. She was hugging him and kissing his cheeks and talking in a baby voice. Kelly greet her and they went inside. Her house was still the same and little small house that was perfect for a small family. It wasn't fancy but it was home.

"Oh boy! Look at you! Almost an adult!" Kelly's mother said as she hold Nathanael above her.

"Careful. He may be heavy." Kelly warn her. He mother laugh knowing that her daughter was telling her what to do.

"You don't know what it's like to be a mother, mom." Kelly said as she lay on the sofa in the living room. It still had the same smell, like a perfume and food mix together but it was a good mixture together.

"I see." Her mother said as she set Nathanael down. He began to run to the toy chest as he open it began grabbing everything and place it outside of it.

"Kelly?" her mother said, "Why are you here?"

"I just wanted to see you that's all." She said. But her mother knew something was troubling her.

"Come on, I'm your mother there is something wrong. Tell me."

Kelly gave a big sigh and said, "Mom, I feel I'm out a place sometimes. There a big decision I have to do and I don't know which to pick."

"Oh, I see. What are they?"

"Well one can help me learn more but it can destroy what I already know. And the other is not knowing at all."

"Hmm. I always said to be able to go forward learn everything you can but I have a feeling that this situation doesn't suit this quote." He mother said. Kelly felt low at the time. She was hoping that her mother can steer her in the right direction.

"Kelly. I will tell you this one thing; whatever you decide to do think of Nathanael. He is your greatest treasure that you can receive in this world. The decision you and or Paul make has to be good for him no matter how much you suffer." Her mother tells her.

She began thinking about it, about what her mother said to her. She wanted everything good for Nat, to be proud of her mother. She spent another hour there, talking with her mom and finding out news from the family. As she was getting ready to leave she gets a call from Rebecca.

"Hello?" Kelly answer.

"Hi Kelly! Are you busy today?" Rebecca greet and ask.

"No, not really. Why?"

"Well I got the whole gang to hang out at the amusement park. Wanna come?" Rebecca said in an excitement tone. Kelly agree to go and said she be there a bit late, she had to pick up Paul from work. She head out giving her mom a kiss goodbye. As they headed to the car her mother was kissing Nathanael goodbye but letting go of your grandson was the hardest thing she had to do.

"Bye Kelly." Her mother said.

"Bye Mom. I love you." Kelly said to her.

"Kelly?" her mother said in a jolt.

"Yes mom?"

"Just remember what I said." She told her. Kelly nod her head and with Nathanael asleep in the back left her mother, standing in the driveway waving goodbye to her greatest treasures.
