Hellooo! Thank you for the reviews everyone, I really appreciate it! God I love you guys xD! Please.. Do enjoy ^-^!
Kerrah descended the stairs with unwanted knowledge. She couldn't trust herself with this. She wished she'd never asked. The sooner Chris found out, the better. She didn't like this, these.. secrets. Why the world couldn't just be open and honest she did not know. All she knew was not to tell anyone, no one, especially not : "Hey Kerr!" And there he was, boy golden, coming towards her with a radiant smile. Such a smile that would make even the sun jealous. She had hoped to smile and nod, and that would be the end of it, but no. Chris was caring, far too caring. That trait would be his downfall if he was not cautious enough. "How'd it go?" he questioned, his smile faltering a little in concern. She shrugged, not quite trusting herself to speak. "Oh, shit! I'm sorry Kerrah, what did she do?" His face showed guilt, unnecessary guilt. "Nothing, she did nothing" Kerrah stuttered quickly. Chris raised an eyebrow "Okay so what happened?" Kerrah sat down, dusting of her skirt to stall. "Uh, she said.. she's willing to talk to you." Kerrah looked at everything except for him. She wanted him to just go. Just go and find out, be hurt, and move on.
"Kerrah.. What's wrong?" he knelt down in front of her, her heart rose a little because of how perfect he was. He looked into her eyes, she turned away quickly, too quickly. He sighed and sat down next to her. "Something happened up there? What?" Kerrah stared ahead at nothing in particular. "She was actually kinda nice, well 'nicer' than she has been to me." Chris looked confused. "then what is wrong?" "Nothing.. I told you." "Damn, I must be stupider than I look." She smiled half-heartedly "she just told me something." Chris looked quizzical then his eyes widened "You know don't you, you know who it was." "N-no, why would she tell ME that?" He looked at her pleadingly. She stood up and busied herself in the kitchen washing cups. She could feel him behind her, she wished he'd just go. It hurt her, him being upset. "It just so happens I have some valuable information myself." chris said smugly. Kerrah turned around swiftly "Huh?" Chris smirked at her and turned around as if he was about to leave. "Chris.. Stop playing around" Kerrah said tiredly. He had a smug look on his face "Chris! what is it! Tell me!" He looked at her playfully and mimed zipping his lips. "I tell you, if you tell me" "That's hardly fair." "How?" "Because you know what my secrets about, but I don't know what yours is about." "Fair play"
He came back over to her. "Mine is something Gordie told me about…." And he pointed to her. "ME? What does Gordie know about me?" He tapped his nose cockily "I believe we have a deal." She furrowed her eyebrows "I promised her I wouldn't tell you, I think she wants to tell you herself" He sighed then pushed his hands to his face. "I don't think I can handle it from her, just..be straight with me Kerrah" Kerrah bit her lip "okay, but don't tell her I told you" He crossed his pinkie finger over his chest and kissed it. She hesitated slightly. Closing her eyes she told him in almost a whisper "Teddy. It was Teddy."
His face turned numb, is eyes distant "my friend?" Kerrah instantly regretted telling him. "I thought he was my friend." "I know this probably isn't the best time, but.. What did Gordie say?" Chris shook his head and headed upstairs. "CHRIS!"Kerrah yelled "I'll tell you later" Chris didn't even bother to knock on May's door, he just stormed right in. "Why? why would you do that to me? My friend! Teddy's my friend!" He sobbed to a very shocked May "C-chris I wanted to explain everything to you before you found out I-did Kerrah tell you?" "Doesn't matter" He said grimly his back to her, he could barely even look at her. after a few moments of silence he turned to face her "You can explain now." May awkwardly explained everything in truth. The time for lying had passed. "So, he moved in on you.. both times." "yeah, I didn't know what to do chris, I was upset and he was.. There. Words can't describe how sorry I am." Chris paused a moment and backtracked "So the part outside your house.. He followed you." She nodded solemnly "I told him Chris, I told him that I needed time to sort things out with you" She touched his hand and he flinched, but didn't move it away. He tried to avoid he gaze but it was futile. Those blue eyes had sucked him right in just as they had in the summer of 59' "Chris" she said softly "I've made mistakes but please, please take me back?"
