"Oh. My. God," he said when he saw them. There. Together. It was real.
Kris lifted her head off of his chest and looked up at the man who stood in the doorway. She gasped when she saw who it was and pulled the covers up over her body. He felt him shift as he sat up in bed, his hands bracing himself behind him.
Kris was the first to speak, though. Only because she felt like she needed to.
"Junior. Ahh..." She lifted her head off the pillow, looking around the room in the bunkhouse. "How'd you get in here?" She ran her hands through her messed up hair.
"I went up to the house and asked Jean where Matt was. She said in here. I guess she didn't know what he was doing, though," Junior said, whipping his head to look at Matt and glaring.
"Look, man, I-"
"Forget it. I can't deal with this right now, so I'm just not going to," Junior said, raising his arms up and staring at the floor. He couldn't even look at them. It hurt too much.
"Junior, wait," Kris said, getting up with the sheets pulled around her. "Just- wait, wait!" She scrambled over to him and grabbed his arm.
"Kris, please," Junior said, his chest heaving up and down with each angry breath he took. "Just leave me alone," he said slowly, pulling his arm away from her grip.
Something in his voice made her stop. Made her think before doing anything more. She slunked back into the background, ignoring Matt, ignoring the things that were being said as Matt ran after Junior.
She felt herself fall to the ground, literally and figuratively. What had she done? Look at what she had caused. It was all her fault. She had wrecked a friendship. Wrecked a love.
Most of all, she had torn up her own heart. She knew being with Matt wasn't right, yet part of her wanted to rebel. Wanted to cause a fight. Everything between her and Junior had been so perfect, too perfect, for so long. Something inside of her snapped and she felt the need to wreck it.
Well, mission accomplished. She'd destroyed it. It wouldn't ever be again. Then why did she feel so bad about it?
A/N: Okay, weird chapter. Short chapter. I feel like I answered some questions, though. And I finally have an update! I'll have a new one before the days through! Maybe even two! (No rhyming intended, lol)
