Chapter 7
Sweet home Memphis

While I was on the plane to Memphis I took out my laptop and started play a few games…its only like a half hour flight to Memphis but hey might as well have a little fun…tho I would rather be back home in Orlando but hey…life is a bitch then you die.

So I started to play solitaire I am still crying but not as much…Because I know that I still have work to do in Florida. Plus I still have my Kevin back there…I looked out the window into the 8:30 ski in Florida and fell asleep.

When we landed in Memphis My father (Randy) and step-mother and my 2 half brothers Jonathan and Steven were there

“Hey daddy” I said removing the hood on my hoody.

“Hey welcome home pumpkin” My daddy said to me giving me a Bear Hug.

“Hey Kaitie” the two little “darlings” said to me while giving me a big hug.

“Hey” I said to them giving them each a hug

“Hey Kaitlyn…how are you honey?” My stepmother Lisa asked me giving me a hug.

“Okay I guess” I said

“Honey Denise called and spoke with us you are needed in New York by Friday” My dad said

“Okay.” I said since it’s only Monday.

From the airport we went to my favorite restaurant ‘Friendly’s’ to celebrate my homecoming.

When we got home my dad and step-mother Lisa, and I went into his office and started talking about my situation.

“Baby girl I love you tell me what the hell is going on with the family in Florida?” my daddy asked me.

“Dad mom is to in to the whole celebrity status to be a mother, dad I just want my mom back and all she wants is another meal ticket.” I told my dad

“Aw honey” my step-mother said giving me a hug

“see this is why your mother and I divorced 10 years ago…she wanted to be famous…and I wanted my family…come here honey…your mother doesn’t even think of you and Justin in this…you will love having your old room back.” My dad said as I sat on his lap like I was 4 again

“Do you mind if I go there now I am tired…” I said to him

“Of course honey…you have had a long day…and dealing with your mother is no easy thing to do.” He said kissing my head.

“good-night sweetie” Lisa said to me giving me a hug and a kiss on my cheek.

I went to my room and grabbed my remote and laid down my bed I pushed play on my CD player remote and the song walking in Memphis started to play



Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W. C. Handy - won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him upto the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would -
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said -
Tell me are you a Christian child?
And I said Man I am tonight

(Chorus)

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

After the song was over Lisa came in to talk girl talk with me.

“So Kait any new guys in your life” she asked me coming over to my bed.

“Leese I am in love…you can’t tell anyone” I said to her and then added
“Not even daddy”

“I will not…what is he like 30 or something?” she asked

“Close enough…he is 28…I don’t even know if he likes me…so please don’t say anything to my dad or anyone” I said to her

“Ah honey…I have had an older man in my lifetime as well …. I promise you that I will not tell on you…as long as you don’t make me a step-grandmother anytime soon” she said

“Alright” I said and a new song came on it was I need you tonight…by non other than the Backstreet boys

Open up your heart to me
And say what's on your mind, oh yes
I know that we have been through so much pain
But I still need you in my life this time, and...
Chorus
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I really need you tonight
I figured out what to say to you
But sometimes the words they, they come out so wrong, oh yes they do
And I know in time that you will understand
That what we have is so right this time, and...

Chorus

I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
All those endless times we tried to make it last forever more
And baby I know
I need you
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I really need you, oh

Chorus

I need you tonight - I need you, oh I need you baby
I need you right now - It's gotta be this, it's gotta be this
I know deep within my heart
No, it doesn't matter if it's wrong or it's right
All I know is baby
I really need you tonight
