Just a Kiss

Chapter 8

Tom looked at Dawn, who was sitting on the couch playing with Loki.

"Did she just walk out?" Tom asked Dawn.

Dawn looked up at her father, who was just as shocked as she was. Her mom has never done something like that before, let alone ignore Tom like that.

"Looks like she just did." Dawn said, standing up and looking at her dad.

"Well, it looks like it is me and you for the weekend. And Loki of course. Ehehehe" Tom said, walking into the kitchen to start making dinner.

Dawn went to her room and worked on her homework while Tom made dinner. She reached for her phone, intending to call her friend Skye and ask her a question about Pre-Calculus. That didn't happen. She called Shelby.

"Shelby?" She asked.

"Yeah?" Shelby replied.

"How is mom doing? Dad is wondering about her." Dawn said, looking down at her homework.

Shelby sighed, "She is doing alright. Tracie and Chelsea are here as well."

"That's good. Tell Mom I love her alright? I gotta go. Dad just finished dinner." She said, saying goodbye and hanging up the phone.

Dawn walked into the kitchen and helped her dad bring the food out to the table. Spaghetti and Salad was on the menu today.

"Thanks for helping me out Dawn." He said, pulling out a chair for her and pushing her in after she sat down.

"No Problem Dad." She said back, then proceeding to put some salad onto her plate.

The whole time through dinner, Dawn thought about her mom and Shelby. She wondered if they were having fun at the Lakehouse. Dawn and her dad ate in silence. Not knowing what to say after everything that happened earlier today. Dawn finished her dinner and put the dishes in the sink. She went back to her room to work on Homework.

Tom finished cleaning up and went into the living room. He turned on the television and flipped through the channels. One movie caught his eye, well, it was more of a musical. It was RENT. He paused and then proceeded to watch the movie.

Dawn showered and got ready for bed. She SKYPED Skye and finished her Pre-Calculus. After she finished her homework, she finished getting ready for bed, knowing that this was going to be a long and interesting weekend.
