Kris finished painting the wall and when she turned Hunter was standing behind her with flowers in his hand and a goofy grin on his face as he hugged her and she giggled lightly takeing the offered flowers

"Aw man im all yucky. hey come up to my room and i'll take a shower. thanks for the flowers babe there really nice" Kris said smileing lightly.

"alright" Hunter said kissing her gentally and wipeing paint off of her face beside her eye.

"cool" Kris said taking his hand and running to her room. when they got up there kris ran into the bathroom shutting the door. Hunter sat on Kris's bed.

"oh hey Hunter. taking Kris on a date" asked Robin who was just walking in.

"finally talked her into it." Hunter replied

"don't hurt her. we all know your reputation." Robin said

"i know. but with her its diffrent man. its not just another girl. shes amazing" Hunter said looking towards the bathroom door

"yea. she is pretty cool. well tell her im going out and not to wait for me tonight" Robin said leaveing.

"cool" hunter said looking to a picture on Kris's head board it was her and her mother and father. Hunter smiled gentally. when the bathroom door opened and Kris walked out with only a white towel wrapped around her body her wet hair fell over her bare shoulders and she was softly humming a tune she seemed to forget about Hunter standing in the corner as she grabbed her cloths and walked back into the bathroom. Hunter turned and waited paitintly.Kris walked out fully clothed with a towel around her head.

"err. i look horrible with out my make up" Kris said walking up to Hunter.

"no you look beautiful baby." Hunter said kissing her nose. Kris giggled slightly

"aw. thanks baby. so where are we going?" Kris asked begining to dry her hair.

"well i was thinkning to where you'r from. i havent really ever left here so it should be fun huh?" Hunter asked and Kris nodded walking to the mirror to apply makeup.

"already wanna meet the parents?" Kris joked and Hunter chuckled walking up behind her placeing his hands on her hips and kissing her cheek as she applyed her eyeliner.

"i think im in love with you" Hunter said and Kris smiled gently

"oh god are you gonna ask me to marry you?" Kris joked

"what would you say if i did" Hunter said smileing

"run away" Kris said pulling her hair into a pony tail

"nice" Hunter said and she spun around kissing his lips and nodding towards the door.

"ready" she asked

"oh yea" Hunter said walking beside Kris to his old chevy truck. he opened the door and helped her inside and she smiled lightly as he shut the door and ran over to the other side sitting in his seat he started the engine. he smiled at her as it Rored. he began driving back to where Kris came from.

the ride there was pretty queit. when they arrrived in the town kris dirrected Hunter to her moms house. she ran up egerly knocking on the door with Hunter behind her.

Amy opened the door and slowly steped out.

"Baby! what are you doing here?" Amy asked as Kris stared at the huge black ring around her eye

"mom... where did you get that black eye... was it Adam" Kris asked feeling the anger boiling in her stomach

"yea... but its ok we delt with it" Amy said noticeing the rage hadnt left Kris's eyes. Kris tried to push past Amy

"baby. your on a really short leash dont do anything baby. you will go to jail" Amy said trying to hold her back Kris pushed past her and walked up to Adam

"what the fuck! why the hell did you hit my mother you bastard!!" Kris screamed punching Adam in the face then kicking him in the nuts. "how the fuck do you like it?! HUH?!!" Kris screamed in his face

"Kris! Hunny please stop" Amy said grabbing her arm. Adam rolled over as Hunter wrapped his arms around her waist

"come on' baby lets go" Hunter said relizeing the tears streaming out of kris's eyes

"im gonna tell dad. you know he'll never stand for this" Kris said her voice cutting out and hunter nodded on her shoulder as they left and Amy fell crying in the cornor. Kris began walking not wanting to take the truck to Hunter followed behind her.

"i'm sorry Hunny. this was supposed to be a date" Kris said looking up to him

"it's ok baby. we can go on dates whenever but right now we gotta get that guy out of your moms house" Hunter said putting his arm around Kris's shoulders. they turned the cornor and Matt was sitting on the stairs to his apartment drinking beer with his brother and his friends

"Hey uncle jeff, Shannon, Shane..." Kris said

"Kris! what are you doing here hunny" Matt asked hugging her.

"i was supposed to be on a date" Kris responded looking to Hunter

"ah. well we'll let you go then" Matt said kissing her cheek

"Dad. i know the last time we talked i was a bitch to you but i really love you. i need a favor" Kris said looking into matts eyes

"how much do you need" Matt asked pulling out his wallet

"no. i dont need money. but. mom's new boyfriend. Adam. he hits her dad" Kris said a fresh batch of tears springing to her eyes. Matt stood stuned for a momment before going in the house grabbing a bat and walking down the street. Kris following at his heels

"Kris go to your friends or on a date. i dont want you to see this" Matt said and Kris stopped dead in her tracks when she heard a framiller voice call her name she spun around and saw her blonde friend running up to her

"Sarah!!" Kris yelled as the two girls embraced

"hey girl are you done your hours?" Sarah asked excited

"no. sorry. im just here on a date with him. and found out my moms boyfriend is beating her and my dads about to go beat him to a bloddy pulp" Kris said looking sadly to Sarah.

"oh. sounds lovely. you know your dad will go to the end of the world for her right, and shes gonna be safe with him checking up on her and now with him knowing he's beating her. oh gosh the women is gonna be watched like a hawk." Sarah said.

Kris found comfort knowing that statement was true. Matt would make sure Adam didnt get near her mother. it would take a army to get to her and Kris doubted he had the sources or the guts so she smiled lightly and nodded

"well i think we can finally go on that date" she said to Hunter taking his hand...
