Chapter Four

Again I don't own Creed. I do not plan on owning them. No I'm not obsessed with Creed...yet:P The reason I'm using so many Creed songs is ebcause a lot of their songs from the "Weathered" CD really fit together in this fiction.

"we've seen our share of ups and downs

oh, how quickly life can turn around

in an instant"

Adam looked at her and threw the can down and ran up to her. "Kristin, please, I'm sorry, really," He pleaded, looking directly into her eyes. "You promised you would never drink like that, Adam! You promised after you found out that he hit me! You promised!" She yelled at me, trying to tug away from his grasp. "Listen, take all of it NOW, just please don't be mad at me, I-I need you! Please, take them. All of them they are in that trunk over there!" He said and led her over to the beer-holding trunk of a tree. She looked at him wearily and then reached in, finding 6 6-packs of beer remaining. "Adam...Whta happened?! PLEASE tell me, you know you can trust me!" She begged. "I can't. I'll tell you one dya, I promise. Just throw them away or something." He said. She looked at him and then grabbed them and poured them out, to Adam's dismay. "Hey, I said throw 'em away!" He exclaimed. "I was in forum, doofus. I know what you were going to do!" She muttered as she finished off the
last one. She then dumped them into the trunk. "Now come on. You do it again and I'll beat the shit out of you," SHe said and pulled him towards the school, shoving him in his dorm. She then walked to her door.

"It feels so good to realize

within your self

and within your mind

Let's find Peace there"

The next day an angry Peter held the CLiffhangers and Junior CLiffhangers in for a group session. It was the day they were to hold their counsling sessions with the groups.

"I went for an outing today, early, early this morning. Actually, i was coming from my house. I just happened to pass by a log where someone had dumped a LOT of beer. The others counslers are talking to the other groups. You will not get into major trouble, just speak up."" He said. Kristin glanced at Adam, who was fiddling with his hands. Sophie was looking at him curiously. "It was me, Peter. Sorry." She spoke up, shrugging. He looked at her with surprise, and then regained himself. "Well, go to my office. Guys, get with your kids. If you don't remember the groups there's a list over there. Landon, you're with Kristin so just wait here or follow one of the kids around," Peter instructed. Kristin sighed and stood up and walked towards Peter's office.

"Cause when you're with me

I'm free...I'm careless...I believe

Above all the others

we'll fly

this brings tears, to my eyes

My Sacrifice"

Kristin sat in a chair in Peter's office, trying to remember all the tiems she had been there because she had been in trouble. A lot, even though usually she didn't mean anything.

Peter walked in and sat at his chair without saying a word. She wriggled around. 'This can't be good' she thought nervously. "So, Kristin, who are you sticking up for?" He asked suddenly. She stared at him. "What?" She asked. "I know you didn't do that. You hate beer-" "Which is exactly why I poured it out. I found it in a tree trunk, and then poured it out." She answered simply. Peter sighed. "I know you're not telling the truth. And whoever it is isn't getting help, even if you did ruin all of it. Shuns for 2 days. Except when you talk to Landon." He instructed. "That's not fair, Peter!" She muttered but knew it was no use and walked out. She walked out and saw Auggie with Jamall at a bench. Auggie signaled her over. She walked over there. "Yeah?" "Did you really do it?" He demanded. "Auggie! You know what my real dad did to me! You think I would touch that crap?" She demanded in an angry voice. "Who did?" "I can't tell you." She said. He sighed but shrugged and went back
to talking to Jamall.

Kristin walked over to Scott, who was sitting with Nicole who was glaring ahead, and Scott trying to talk to her. Landon was sitting across from them, looking bored out of his mind. "Hey shortay, what's up?" Scott asked. "Nothin." She answered. "Well, this is Nicole. She's 12, to. And this is your new friend, Landon," He said, getting a mischevious sparkle in his eye, acting like a parent who is making you play with the nerdy kid next door.

"Gee Landon, you're in for a treat. Hey, Nicole. What's up?" Kristin muttered. Nicole just glared at her and Kristin and Scott both shrugged. "Can we go?" Landon snapped. "Boy, you better watch it!" Kristin muttered and Landon followed her to the last empty bench. 'Great, this otta be a day in hell," Landon thought bitterly as the girl, shorter and younger (but pretty) then him made him follow her.
