Chap.3- The Best Night Of My Life
Kris groaned and placed his forehead against the cooling wall. Being queasy and just having 'done it' was not a good mix. Slowly he opened up the bathroom door and made his way down the stairs. He stopped and looked in the living room. Morgan was watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reign Dear with Piper and Leo. Wyatt was sitting on the couch reading a thick book with his feet up on the coffee table. Slowly Kris walked over to and sat down he sighed and leaned his head back onto to back of the couch. "You feeling alright, kiddo?" he heard his father's concerned voice break through his thoughts. Kris looked over at him and smiled slightly; gently he laid his head upon Wyatt's shoulder and closed his eyes. So much for not forgiving…
The next day was school and Morgan had already begged Wyatt to not make them go, however he still did. Therefore, Kris was sitting on the school bus with his head banging against the window trying to keep in his breakfast. "Hey," a familiar voice said to his left.
"Hello," he muttered without even looking up. Joshua plopped down beside him and looked at Kris through his hazel eyes.
"So-" Joshua started,
"Kris, just the guy I was looking for!" Derek Hazel sat up from the seat in front of them, "I'm having a party tonight and wanted to know if you'd come." Kris smiled,
"I'd love to,"
"Great, it starts at 9:00pm," he glanced at Joshua, "bring whom ever you please,"
"Mhmm," Kris placed his head back on the window and looked at Joshua,
"Looks like you're coming then. I mean, that I is if you want to," he quickly covered up.
Sure Joshua was nervous, but he wanted to see Kris smile once more, so he said, "See you at nine." Kris smiled slightly and leaned back against the window.
"Hey dad," Kris said when he got 'home' from school, "can I go to a party today?"
Wyatt looked up at Kris with a raised eyebrow, "What time?"
"It starts at nine. I can stay over until tomorrow so you don't have to pick me up."
"Ok," Wyatt gave in he smiled, "feel free, be back before 10 tomorrow, you're not going to school."
"Why?" Kris asked surprised,
"You're going to the doctor,"
"The doctor, or the mental doctor,"
"The doctor,"
"Oh, ok then," Kris smiled at his father, "thanks,"
"Don't expect it all the time," Wyatt went back to his papers, what they were for Kris didn't ask.
Nine o' clock came and Kris looked at himself in the mirror once more. His jeans were tight and dark blue, and his shirt was white with a bunch of words scrambled across it. His hair was slightly messy, and he smirked… time to go enjoy himself…
He laughed and looked around the room. Everything had been cleared out, Derek's parents really had no idea what happened at these parties. "You showed!" Kris exclaimed brightly as Joshua walked over to him.
"I couldn't just leave you hanging, now could I?" He responded,
"You could have, you just didn't."
"Exactly,"
Kris laughed until whom but LeAnn and Aiden walked into the room, "Why'd you invite them?" he asked Derek over the music,
"I didn't," Derek, answered angrily, "I don't want them here." He stormed over to the pair demanding them to leave. LeAnn looked around the room noticing Kris and Joshua. She glared and stormed over to the two of them.
"What are you doing here?" she demanded glaring at Kris,
"Hanging out with my friends." He said simply,
"Who'd want to be friends with you?" She asked nearly spitting in his face,
"Me," Joshua said throwing his arm around Kris' shoulders and steering them away from LeAnn and the gawking boys. They stopped in the far corner of the room, ignoring the protests of Derek and Reece.
"Why'd you do that?" Kris asked Joshua when they had made it to a safe haven.
"I don't know," he answered with an irresistible smile. Kris stared at him, and felt his heart begin to bang against his rib cage once more. "Let's go dance," Joshua said pulling Kris along with him to the dance floor when the song 'Crush Crush Crush' by 'Paramore' came on. "You like the oldies,"
Kris laughed, "This isn't old,"
"It's from 2007,"
"It's still not old,"
"Fine, maybe it's not. But you sure look older than you are,"
"So everyone says," Kris, answered blushing a little,
"That's not necessarily a good thing,"
"Neither is being here," The lights flashed as the bridge came on.
"Than why'd you come?"
"I had nothing better to do,"
"Really," Joshua whispered, "I hope you enjoy it," Kris turned around to face him, and they kissed once more. Derek cheered in the back round while LeAnn fumed with Aiden by her side.
Kris' arms found their way around Joshua's neck as Joshua pulled him closer. People in the group around them wolf whistled, while others clapped. Kris was a so-called 'unpopular' while Joshua… well you must get the point.
Kris broke away laughing. Actually laughing, for the first time since he was eight. That's when Joshua caught his first sight of a real smile from Kris. That's when he felt his heart pull. When the party was over and every one left the next day Joshua couldn't help thinking about that smile and Kris…
"Did you have fun, kiddo?" Wyatt asked as Kris sat down in the blue car. Kris smiled, his real smile. Wyatt could not help smiling back; he hadn't seen that smile in years.
"I had the best night of my life daddy," Kris said as he looked back out the window, he sighed contently.
"Hi! You must be Kris," A voice of a perky woman said causing Kris to jump. Damn perky people,
"Hi," He smiled (fakely) at the lady with curly red hair and bright blue eyes. 'God dad why did you have to leave me here with this woman?' he thought to himself.
"I'm doctor West's assistant, right here," Kris walked into the room she pointed to. A lovely woman with curly black hair and beautiful green eyes looked up at Kris and smiled.
"Hello," She stood up and shook his hand, "I'm Doctor West, this in Kendra, she's my assistant." Kris nodded and sat down in the offered seat. "So Kris," Doctor West said once Kendra had left the room and she had sat down herself, "what did you have for breakfast today?"
"Umm," Kris said, "I sorta forgot about breakfast,"
Doctor West sighed and gave him a disapproving mother look, "Ok, so your blood sugar is probably low," She leaned down into her desk and pulled out some Poptarts, "Here, my breakfast of choice," Kris nodded and looked down, this woman reminded him a lot of his own mother.
"So," Doc. West said once they were almost over with the session, "I'm going to give you a chart. You are going to fill it out for every meal you eat. I just want to know what you eat, that is all. We will meet twice every week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I already talked to your father about all this." She smiled and Kris blew out of the side of his mouth. This was going to be hard.
