Chapter 4*
It's been a week since Kirsten went home to Jersey. She's talked to Monique, told her she was doing ok, and she'll be back soon. Her mom needed some food from the grocery store and so Kirsten went for her. She pulled into the very much familiar parking lot of the now Stop and Shop Grocery store, grabs a shopping cart and starts to grab the stuff her mother has asked for. During shopping various people from town came up to her and asked her how things were going? "ahhhhhh the joys of living in a small town" Kirsten thought. "Thank god I got out."
Kirsten is now talking to her first grade teacher when she sees Tiffany. She excuses herself and runs over to Tiffany.
Tiffany just laughed, "Everyone greeting you back into this lovely town I take it."
"If one more person asks me how I'm doing, I'm gonna have to hurt someone."
"Shopping for mom?"
"Of course, I had to get out of that house for a bit too."
"Have you talked to him at all?"
Kirsten gave Tiffany a "what do you think" look. Tiffany just laughed. "I know I have to go back and talk to him...I'm just not ready yet...ya know?"
"I hear ya girl. I'll let ya get back to shopping. Give me a call later."
"Sure thing girl" They hug and Kirsten goes back to her grocery list. She's almost done shopping when she gets the eerie feeling that she's being watched. She looks over her shoulder and doesn't see anyone. She just shrugs the feeling and heads for the ice cream, she was gonna treat herself to some Ben and Jerry's. When she got to the ice cream, someone covered her eyes and said "guess who?"
Kirsten knew immediately who it was. "CHRISTIAN...YOU BETTER TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF MY EYES RIGHT NOW SO I CAN HUG YOU!"
Chris just laughed, removed his hands from her eyes and she turned around and hugged him.
"I heard you were back in town."
"Yea, yea. You probably saw my car in the driveway."
"That too."
"God, It's so good to see you man. We have to chill later."
"What ya doing tonight?"
Kirsten just laughed, "Don't waste any time do ya?"
"I gotta spend some time with my girl before she goes away again." Chris pretends to shed a tear.
Kirsten playfully punches him in the arm and they make plans to see each other that night.
When Kirsten got home, she called up Monique at work.
"Monique Thomson."
"You will NEVER guess who I ran into at the store today."
Monique had to smile. It was good to hear her sister in good spirits. "Who?"
"CHRIS!"
Monique's mouth dropped to the ground. She hasn't heard that name in awhile. "Chris? As in your high school boyfriend Chris? As in your first love Chris?"
Kirsten just answers with a "yup"
"Wow...what does he have to say?"
"We're going out to dinner tonight."
"You sure that's a good idea Kirst.?" She was a lil skeptical about her lil sister going out with someone...when she hasn't worked things out with Matt yet.
"Mon, nothing is going to happen. We're friends now, that's all."
"I hope you know what you're doing."
"I do Mon."
"When are you coming home?"
"Soon. Why do you ask?"
"A lot has happened since you left, I need someone to talk too, and Nicole really wouldn't understand." Monique laughed at that.
"oooooooooooo girl, now I'm curious...but it will have to wait."
"ok well, have fun with Chris, come home soon. Love you, Miss you."
"Will do. Give my love to all. Bye." Kirsten hung up the phone and rang upstairs to get ready.
As she sat in front of her dad's computer, she checked her email, emailed her friends letting her know she was ok. She was surprised by the amount of emails she got from the WWF Superstars that were at the party that night. She felt extremely bad when she read Shannon's email, boy did he feel guilty. She saw that she got one from Matt, feeling exceptionally good today, she decided to read it.
I know you probably want nothing to do with me, and I don't blame you. I've done some stupid stuff in my day, but treating you poorly is by far the worst thing I've done. I know that it's probably too late for us to be a couple, but I would eternally grateful if you at least consider friendship. I hope all is well, and that you come back to North Carolina soon. Until Then, Matthew.
Kirsten knew that she definitely will be home soon. She wants to work things out with him. God knows why, but she does.
