You Don't Know Me But...

Chapter 5

The congratulations, hoots and hollers were endless. Kelly had his hand on my back the whole time. A older fire fighter with grey hair approached me.
"Hi I'm Christopher but everyone calls me Herman"
"Nice to meet you" I said barely audible.
"Hi Jessica I'm your uncle Matt and this is your aunt Gabby" Matt pulled Gabby closer to him.
"Everyone calls me Jessie."
I was engulfed in many hugs. we all sat down. Some talking, others watching tv or reading, I was observing taking everything in. Cruz on of the guys on Kelly's squad cooked everyone dinner.
"so jessie how old are you?" Gabby questioned.
"I'm 8" I said playing with my food.
"What's wrong do you not like it, I can make you something else?" Cruz was concerned
"I'm sure I would love it but I cant eat it. I'm allergic."
"Oh jessie I'm so sorry." He apologized.
"Its no big deal I wasn't that hungry anyway. Kelly can I use your phone I would l Ike to call my brother before I go to sleep?"
"sure kiddo." He handed me his phone and I went to his office. Before I could even call my brother I was asleep on Kelly's bed.
