...
"Hey man" said Matt as he walked out into the living room rubbing his eyes. "Where's Kris?"
"Don't ask" he replied as he leaned back against the couch.
"I take it last night didn't go well?"
"I don't know." Junior replied frustrated.
"What do you mean?" Matt asked confused. "Dani and I saw you guys asleep together on the couch looking very cozy." he pointed out.
"I mean everything was great. We had dinner, sat down watched a movie, and even fell asleep together which was awesome by the way" he chuckled as he explained. "When I woke up this morning, I could tell that her mind was somewhere else. So I asked her if she was alright, I mean I was getting a little worried there. She told me she was getting flash backs Matt, bits and pieces of things."
"Really, well that's great!" he replied excited. "That's a sign."
"Exactly. That's what I told her too. She then told me that she was afraid that her memory may never come back and that maybe I should pretty much move on and not wait for her."
"I'm sorry man. God, I wish there was something we could do to help her you know, other then what we're doing now."
Junior nodded his head. "I told her that it didn't matter to me that she doesn't remember anything and that I still love her more than life itself and that I will do whatever it takes to help her remember our love. Matt, you should have seen the look in her eyes. I just wanted to hold her and tell her everything will be okay." he said as he sighed. "She had tears in her eyes and it was breaking my heart that I just couldn't help myself so I leaned down and kissed her."
"You kissed her?" Matt asked shocked now sitting on the edge of his seat.
"Yeah, it just felt so right. It was full of passion and it was so intense Matt that I knew deep down she felt something. God, I even felt it. I could just tell by the way she kissed me back" he said looking down at the ground.
"I know that we all miss and love her and we're pushing hard for her memory to come back, but we also have to remember that it's a lot for her to take in. I know that I'm guilty of that because frankly I don't think I can handle the dirty dozen on my own." he said as he sighed. "I was hoping that with Kris being around them, it would have an effect on her; but instead we find out she's afraid of them. Can you imagine Junior, honestly waking up one day not knowing your name, or who you are, or where you came from let alone who your family is? Maybe we should just give her some space and let her deal with it at her own pace." he replied as he put a hand on Junior's shoulder.
Junior stayed quiet as he kept his eyes on the hallway. "Ugh! I hate this! I guess you're right. She doesn't need us to baby sit her, that's for sure" he said as he sighed.
"Well, I've got to go head over to Raintree. You gonna be alright?"
"Yeah, Thanks man. I've got a long overdue meeting with Kalvin today."
"Good luck man" replied Matt.
"You too." Junior got up and headed to his house to get cleaned up.
…
Kris stood with her back to the door as she slid down to the ground. She then hugged her knees as tears slowly glided down her cheeks. "I-I'm sorry Junior" she said as she closed her eyes. "I'm sorry I can't remember anything about us." She was overwhelmed by all the flash backs that she saw when their lips met. She then opened her eyes as she placed the back of her head on the door. She wiped away her tears as she got up. "I can't just sit here, I have to do something about it" she yelled frustrated. "Raintree should hold the key to a lot of my answers so that's where I'll start" she exclaimed. She got dressed and headed down the hallway; she realized it was really quiet. "Junior?" she called out. "Dani?" anyone home?
…
"Junior you alright?" Kalvin asked confused now looking at him.
"Yeah I'm sorry, I've just got a lot on my mind"
"How's Kris?" he asked.
"She's doing okay. Her memory hasn't returned yet but she's starting to remember some stuff which is great." he added.
"You don't sound to happy." replied Kalvin.
"No, no. I am. It's just that I feel so helpless. I wish there was something I could do. You know."
"I know" he said as he nodded his head. "I know this is tough for you but just hang in there. She'll come around." he replied as he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks man. Sorry I haven't been around lately, but I promise you once Kris is okay things will go back to normal."
"Junior, don't worry I've got it under control." he replied.
"Thanks Kalvin. Let's get back to work."
…
"So this is tigersye." said Noah as he and Dani stood in the Davis Stalls.
"Yes, she's the great grand daughter of a firmed. My father bought her at an auction last week." she replied excitedly. "She's mine."
"You're going back into horse racing?" he asked her shocked.
"Maybe, I mean it all depends if Tigersye's a valuable horse or not."
"And you want me to check her out?" he asked.
"Yes, please. Your opinion is very important to me." she begged.
"Oh okay" he replied.
"I know that her confirmation could be better."
"Actually her confirmation is pretty good." he said as he examined her.
Dani smiled.
"But you see this scar here?" he asked as he pointed out. "That's a calcium build up in the bones probably from a fracture that healed."
"Is that a problem?" she asked concerned.
"Maybe not, it's hard to tell how strong the bone is. If you're really serious about getting into horse racing, I'd suggest you do it with a different horse."
Dani stood there with a frown on her face. "Thanks Noah" she said as she flashed him a weak smile.
"Anytime Dani" he replied.
…
"Hi Jean" Kris said as she walked through the back door.
"Kris, honey come in"
"Is Junior with you?" she asked.
"No, I came by myself." she replied.
"How are you feeling?" she asked as she handed her a cup of coffee.
"Good, other than being frustrated" she replied.
"I know. Hang in there." she said as she placed a supportive hand on her arm.
"I wanted to ask you if you mind me spending some time here. I'm curious if anything would trigger my memory?" she replied.
"Oh heaven's no. You stayed here for a good 3 years. I honestly think that's a great idea. You take your time and if you need anything." Jean responded.
"Thank you." she replied as she sipped her coffee. "I-I also wanted to thank you for trying to protect me that day with the accident. Junior told me that you threw your body over mine and as a result of that, you ended up getting hurt yourself." she said now looking at her cup of coffee ashamed.
"Kris, don't be silly. You're a big part of this family and I'm just so glad that you're okay. I love you as one of my own." she said as she pulled Kris in for a hug.
Kris smiled as she had tears in her eyes as she had another flash back…
"Why can't she just love me? Why do I keep wanting that?" Kris asked.
"Because that's what a mother's supposed to do. Everybody wants that." Jean replied.
"Yeah well that's not enough."
"And that will never be. Kris you're doing the best you can.
"No I'm not. I should be there for her. What if she takes all these pills and dies- Look you say that it won't be my fault but I know it will be." she shouted.
"You're going to have to believe me. I've been through this." Jean replied.
"I should fire you for what happened yesterday, but Junior Davis told me what his sister did to you."
"I shouldn't have hit her."
"Yes, you shouldn't have." repeated Jean.
"I didn't know what else to do." Kris replied.
"You come to me. It's hard for you to trust me isn't it?
"Yeah it is."
Well you're going to have to take a chance. I'm here and I'm telling you that. You're safe now Kris."
"So you and Junior"
I ask because I'm thinking about you. How are you doing? I hope its okay?" Jean questioned.
"The truth is, I've always considered you to be a mom to me more than mine ever was."
"Kris, you okay?" Jean asked with a worried look on her face. "Kris"
"Huh? I'm sorry. I'm fine" she replied shaking her head. "Thank you again" she said as she walked back outside.
"Jean is more of a mom to me then mine ever was" she whispered as she walked away from the house.
…
"Hi baby" Matt said as Dani answered her phone.
"Hi" she replied a little upset.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's nothing" she replied.
"Doesn't sound like nothing."How did it go with Noah and Tigersye this morning?"
"Not well. He told me that she had a calcium build up from a fracture and that if I'm planning on going back into racing I should get another horse."
"Isn't there anything you could do?"
"Like what Matt?"
"Like maybe get a second opinion?"
"But that might offend him, and besides we work together I don't want it to get awkward."
"It's nothing personal, it's just business." Matt replied.
She stayed quiet.
"What do you say we go out for drinks, we'll invite Kris and Junior?" he asked
"I don't know" she sighed as she replied. "I'm not feeling really up to it"
"Come on, I promise, it'll cheer you up"
"Okay," she said with a smile.
"I love you"
"I love you too. See you tonight then." she said as they hung up.
…
Kris was now walking around. She saw the dirty dozen near the tracks but Matt was nowhere to be seen.
"Kris, you're here" exclaimed Todd excitedly.
"Hi Todd" she replied with a smile. She didn't get to spend much time with him that night he ran off but she knew somehow he was important to her. "Yeah I wanted to see if anything could give me my memory back." she replied.
"Can I join you?" he asked eagerly. "I could be your tour guide"
"Of course. I would love that" she replied. "So where to first?" she asked as they walked off.
"Your trailer." he replied as they stopped.
"My trailer? Uh, Todd, there's nothing here." she pointed out confused.
"I know that silly. This was where it sat." he replied.
"Uh- okay" she smiled. "What happened to it?" she asked.
"It caught on fire-" he responded as they looked at one another.
She closed her eyes as she had a flash back…
"Do you smell smoke?" she asked Matt.
They both used their noses looking around.
"Matt, Matt my trailer's on fire" she yelled.
"They think it was a faulty connection to the circuit box. The water and smoke damage is pretty bad." said Jean as she walked over to them.
"All my stuff, what am I going to do."
"You can stay with us" she replied.
"No, no I'll just sleep in the barn. I've done it before."
"Can I sleep in the barn?" asked Todd.
"You asked your mom if you could sleep in the barn with me and she said that no one was sleeping in the barn"
"That's right Kris" Todd beamed excitedly. "You remembered something"
She stood there as she closed her eyes trying to remember her trailer. Just then she had a few flash backs of different memories. Bits and Pieces…
"Kris, I was just going, cleaning out the attic and these are some things my wife packed away and they don't fit anybody here. You know I was thinking you should freshen up a little." said Henry.
"You know, they're really very nice but I don't think I'm going."
"Really oh I didn't think you scared that easily." he said as they locked eyes. "Well suit yourself, if you change your mind I'll just leave these with you" he said as he walked off.
"There's a pay phone by the stables if you need one" said Pablo as he showed her the trailer.
"First two weeks in advance" he said putting down an envelope.
"250 a week"
"I made more than that, turning burgers"
"Well that's what it is, that all right with you" he asked
"Yup" she replied
"Put your stuff down and I'll show you around-"
"I want you to know that I'm an honorable man" said Junior "I could have waited and you could have been entirely -"
"Go home, if Pablo sees you" she started saying
"Pablo's in his house, his lights on. I could see him from here."
"What are you doing here?"
I thought you'd like to go to a hot tub party with us."
"I don't have a suit"
"Who said anything about a suit?"
"Cute" she said as she chuckled.
"I would rather stay here with you anyways. We could stay here." he said with a smile.
"Go home Kenny"
"Kenny is my father, I'm Junior.
"I was trying to get rid of you."
Kiss me good night and I'll leave"
"Hey wake up, we got to be on the track in 10mins."
"I'll be right there"
"Kris come on"
"I'm coming." she yelled as she opened the door.
"I brought lunch my mom made an extra baloney sandwich."
"Cool."
"Kris you okay, I'm never up before you."
"Yeah, I couldn't really sleep last night. You ready?"
"Yup, lets' go" he said.
"Todd, Todd come back here!" She yelled after him.
"What's up with him?" Junior asked.
"I totally forgot I promised I'd have lunch with him." she said feeling horrible.
"This is so screwed up" yelled Junior.
"So what you dad controls everything in your life." she screamed back.
"Not anymore. I won't let him come in between us. If I have to choose between him or you, I choose you."
"No" she yelled. "Why I'm not going to run away from this.
"Well, I'm not going to let you leave your family because of me. "I'm so sorry, but I c-can't see you anymore" she said as tears streamed down her face
"I thought this is what you wanted. I t-thought you love me." he asked hurt.
"I do" she replied.
"Come on Kris, lets' go." Todd said looking at her. "Kris?"
Todd then grabbed Kris's hand as he startled her. She jumped at the touch of his hand
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. You okay Kris?" he asked her.
"T-Todd I remember somethings!" she exclaimed excitedly as she explained it to him.
"Kris that's great" he said pulling her hand. "Lets' keep going"
"Where to next?" she asked with a smile
…
"Hey" Junior said as he walked into Dani's office.
"What do you want?" she asked him.
"Nice to see you too" he shot back.
"I'm sorry" she said putting work down now looking up at him. "I've just got a lot on my mind"
"Well that makes two of us" he replied. "Everything okay?" he asked her.
"Yeah, it's fine. It's just Tigersye. I had Noah check him out today and I didn't like what I heard" she responded. 'What's up with you? Where's Kris? I saw you two last night" she said excitedly as her mood changed. "Does that mean-"
"No" he cut her off shaking his head.
"Oh" she replied.
"Matt and I were talking this morning and we think that maybe we're pushing Kris a little too hard. All this pressure isn't really helping her and it's getting her more frustrated than anything, so maybe we should let her deal with it at her own pace."
"Yeah that makes sense especially since this is a lot for her to take in."
Junior nodded his head.
"Well hey sounds like you need some cheering up yourself. Matt and I are going to go out for some drinks tonight. You and Kris should come too."
"I don't know. I haven't talked to her since this morning.
"Did something happen?" she asked concerned.
Junior filled her in.
"You kissed her?" she asked shocked now looking up at him.
"Yeah, it just felt so right Danni." he said shaking his head. "It was full of passion and so intense. She felt something, I could just tell by the way she kissed me back" he replied.
"Give her some time Junior. She'll come back to you. I know she will. Come out with us tonight for a few drinks. "
"Man, that seems to be the quote of the day." he replied looking at the ground.
"Come out with us. It's been so long since we've all gone out and just had fun."
He stayed quiet as he looked over at Danni. "Alright" he said. "Lets do it"
…
"Matt must be finished for the day" she said as she viewed an empty track.
"Come on Kris" Todd said as he walked out onto the track.
She then jumped over the little white fence/rail and walked out and joined him. She looked around as she put her hand over her eyes to block the sun from hitting her face.
Just then she had another flash back bits and pieces…
"Take him out nice and slow. No speed" Pablo said.
"What's his name?" she asked Matt
"Oklahoma Cruz" he replied
She tried to get up on him as she fell on her bottom.
"What's he doing?" Kris asked Todd while watching Pablo with wildfire.
"He's testing him for claustrophobia. If he pushes wildfire against the rail and he doesn't pick up he'll do fine in the starting gate." explained Todd.
"Kris, 1-2-3" up she went. "How does it feel?" he asked her.
"Nothing could be better" she replied.
"Alright take him a couple of times around slow and we'll see how he does in the gate" replied Pablo.
"You want to tell me what's going on?" Pablo asked her disappointed as he looked at his stop watch.
"Nothing" she replied.
"You lost 4 seconds off your time from yesterday.
"I'm sorry" she replied.
"He knows your mood, he knows your exhausted and so do I."
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again." she replied
"And over there- Kris- did you have another flash back?" he asked her.
"Yes!" she replied shaking her head.
"I was first introduced to you guys here and Oklahoma Cruz was the first horse I got to ride here on the tracks" she pointed out.
"That's awesome" yelled Todd.
"You were always my little side kick buddy when it came to me practicing" she said as she hugged him.
"Hey guys" said Matt as he approached them. "I didn't even know you were here. My mom just told me as she sent me out looking for Todd."
"Yeah I've been here for a few hours. Todd's been showing me around." she replied
"I'm her tour guide"
"And a really great one too" she added with a smile and a wink.
"I'll see you later Kris" Todd said as he hugged her.
"Thanks Todd."
"I didn't see you out here earlier. How's it going?" she asked Matt
"It's going" he replied with a chuckle. "They're a hand full I tell you."
"I-I'm sorry I'm not helping you out"
"Kris, it's okay. In time you will remember all the things you love. Don't worry." he replied as he gave her a hug.
"Thank you Matt" she replied.
"So, we're going to go out for drinks tonight you want to join us?" he asked.
"Well, I was thinking I'd like to stay here for a little while longer and do a little more exploring. You guys go have fun." she replied.
"Are you sure?" he asked her. "You can always come back tomorrow or the day after that or the next. Raintree's your home."
"Thanks Matt" she said as she smiled. "I just feel like I'm getting closer you know."
"I understand. How about you and I explore a little bit longer together, and I'll go get cleaned up; take you home so you could get dressed and well all go out together. Huh? Sound like a plan or what?" he asked laughing. "Or if you need to think about it, Junior could always pick you up later just in case you change your mind?"
She shook her head as she laughed. "We'll see."
"Alright then" he said as they walked off.
"Matt, tell me some stories" she asked.
"Stories, oh where do I begin?" he laughed as they sat down on a hay stack. "Well lets' see. How about the time my mom and Pablo went out of town for a day and left the house to us.
"A day?" she asked laughing.
"Yeah, a day. Junior had this smart idea to throw a party and of course I went along with it." he said as he laughed. He ordered this cotton candy machine thing and a photo booth. You're wondering who needs a photo booth right? Junior Davis does." he said as they both laughed. "There was suppose to be only like 30 ppl but we ended having more than that. It got a little out of hand-"
She then had a flash back…
"Kris are you okay? I should have never let you out of my sight" yelled Matt as he punched Winn.
"Matt stop" she yelled grabbing his arm.
"He could have killed you" he yelled almost about to hit him again.
"You don't understand, he was trying to kill himself." she replied.
"Is that true" Matt yelled
"All I ever do is hurt you Kris" Winn said in tears
"Oh the mess." he said laughing. "We had you to thank that morning for helping us clean up." he said as his voice trailed off. "Kris? Matt said now looking at her.
"W-Winn brought a gun into my trailer and you thought he was trying to kill me" she blurted out. "H-He was trying to kill himself because of his guilt" she replied with a blank stare on her face.
Matt was in complete shock. "K-Kris you remembered that" he said with tears in his eyes.
"I grabbed the gun and you told me to give it to you. I told you No because you're not involved in it but you said that you already were." she continued.
"Kris this is amazing" he yelled as he pulled her into a hug.
She smiled. "Bits and Pieces are coming slowly back to me" she replied. "It happened earlier with Junior then with Todd and now with you."
"Lets' keep going and see what you can remember" he replied.
"Okay" she said shaking her head.
"Do you remember the time Wildfire, whodini, stedson and Argo took off with a herd of mustangs? You, me and Junior set off to go find them. Dani showed up later to tell us 2 horses got home safely. We ended up camping out in the middle of nowhere and the four of us ended up talking, dancing and hanging out all night. That was actually a really fun night. We played this game where-"
She listened as she closed her eyes trying to think… she had a flash back
"Will everybody tell a secret?" asked Dani
"Well I don't have a lot but I'll try" replied Matt.
"Do I have to go again?" Kris asked.
"Well that was a pretty lame secret" said Dani.
"To me it's not" replied Kris." "Alright only if you guys tell a better one."
"Dani's still first" added Junior.
"We told a secret about each other no one knew" she replied.
"Yes, Yes!" he exclaimed. "Do you remember what we talked about?" he asked.
She closed her eyes as she sat there. "You guys were swimming and Dani went first. She talked about finding hers and Junior's mother. You went next saying you were allergic to horses something about getting shots, and oh yeah you caught your mom making out with Charlie. We skipped Junior" she said laughing.
"Yes Kris. You got it."
She smiled as tears formed in her eyes.
"Do you remember when you punched Dani?" he asked laughing.
"I punched Dani?" Kris asked shocked.
"Try and remember" said Matt.
Kris closed her eyes as she had a flash back...
"Still working?" Junior asked Kris as they started walking.
"I'm done. I'm going home" she replied.
"I've got to tell you something" he said. "I'm really sorry about getting you busted that night"
"Yeah, well just forget about it" she replied.
"There's more" he said. "When I took you to the meadows, it was stupid. I should have waited till I got to know you better. And even if Dani put me up to it I want you to know that I really like you"
"Dani" Kris asked shocked.
"I didn't know that was going to happen at the drag racing."
"Dani knew the cops were going-"
"Really, Dani knew" she asked upset as she walked towards her.
"Kris, I just wanted to tell you. Kris wait a second." Junior yelled after her.
"Oh my god I did" she exclaimed as she covered her mouth from shock laughing.
Matt started laughing at her expression.
"I-I ran up to her asked her what she was doing to me. She said something, I got upset and then I hit her"
"Don't tell her this, but she deserved it" he added as they both laughed hysterically. "Dani wasn't an easy person to get along with, but you stuck around like a champ."
Before they knew it, it was getting dark. "I'm going to go get cleaned up, Dani's waiting for me. You decide what you want to do. I'm so glad we hung out today" he said as he pulled her in for another hug.
"Me too Matt." she replied. "Do you mind if I look around in my-your old room?" she asked.
"Not at all. Come on champ" he replied as he put an arm around her shoulder. "A lot of your old stuff like magazines and clippings are still there."
…
Junior unlocked the front door as he walked in, the place was dark. "Kris?" he yelled out. "Kris you home?"
Just then Dani walked in through the front door. "Hey" she said going through her mail.
"Where's Kris?" he asked her.
"She's not with you? I haven't seen her all day. Last time I saw her was when you two were asleep on the couch."
"I haven't seen her since this morning." he replied nervous as he grabbed his cell phone. "Kris, hi where are you?" Junior asked as she answered.
"Hey" she replied. "I'm over at Raintree. I've been walking down memory lane all day" she said with a smile."
"How's that going?" he asked her.
"Really good actually."
"That's great. Did Matt tell you about Bobby's tonight?" he asked her.
"He did, but I think I want to stay at Raintree a little bit longer. Junior I feel like I'm so close. I have to find out."
"Okay then, you have to find out." he replied as he smiled. "How about some company?" he asked her.
"Junior you should go out with Dani and Matt. You shouldn't feel like you have to keep me company." she replied.
"Kris, I want to be with you" he said.
She stayed quiet as she smiled. "O-okay, I'll see you here."
"Great, I'm on my way"
…
"Kris at Raintree?" Dani asked walking past him to her room.
"Yeah, she's been hanging out and exploring all day. We're going to take a rein check on Bobby's tonight. She wants to stay a little bit longer, thinks she might be close."
"That's great" Dani yelled.
"If you guys change your mind, you know where we'll be."
"Alright, have fun, see you later" he said as he walked out the front door.
…
(Attn: any Kris and Matt Fans- I wanted to apologize now that I'm not describing in detail any of their relationship. Reason is that … I couldn't find the episodes I wanted from season three on youtube and abcfamily wildfire video's were taking too long to upload. So, I just wanted you all to know that I'm not leaving them out on purpose or intentionally. Trust me… I'm a very detailed- scripted person as you can tell from my writing. Yes, I am all for Krunior Love but my apologies to any Matt and Kris fans.)
Kris walked around the room as she pulled out a few photo albums, few newspaper clippings. She sat down on the desk as she skimmed through a Modern Jockey Magazine she pulled out. She came then saw a picture of herself as she pulled the magazine up closer to eye sight.
She then had a flash back..
"Modern Jockey? You read this?" she asked Junior as she picked it up.
"Yeah .When your pictures in it I do."
"What are you talking about?" she asked him confused.
"Where is it? Here" he said as he showed it to her.
She closed her eyes chuckling not wanting to see it. "I can't believe you bought this" she said as she closed it.
"Hey besides Maxims, Modern Jockey is my favorite magazine. I never miss an issue" he said laughing.
She smiled as she closed the magazine. She got up as she put it back. She sat on the bed as she closed her eyes. She had a few more flash backs …
"Her and Matt having a water gun fight laughing and playing around. Her and Matt making love and having a relationship without telling Junior at first, but he finds out himself"
"Me and Matt?" she asked as she opened her eyes quickly. "Me and Matt" she said again as she covered her mouth. "I would have never done that to Junior or to Matt. They're best friends. No, that can't be true" she said "Matt and I are like brother and sister. Junior must have hated us. How did Matt feel? And Dani? Oh god did it really happen." she asked herself as she threw her face into her hands. Her brain was now on over load. She then got up and walked over to the book shelf. She ran her finger along a few books as she pulled one out halfway. All of a sudden she had another flash back….
"Instructions" she said as Junior handed them over. "Here help me with this" she said as they flipped the shelf on its side.
"I've been thinking about our talk last night"
"Yeah" she replied listening to him and working on the shelf at the same time.
"Pretty pathetic" he replied as he chuckled.
"Well you and I are alike when it comes to pushing people away."
"You have your sense of humor"
"You have a great right hook"
"Yeah well that's because men are dogs"
"All men?" he asked with a cute look of his face.
"Well different breed, same goal" she replied.
"Well what am I?" he asked her.
"Uh, a good snout, plenty of attitude, smart, graceful. I'd say you're a jack russell." she replied as they laughed.
The finished assembling the shelf as Junior helped her stand it back up.
I think I'm in love with you" shouted Junior as she was about to leave.
"Y-You can't be.
"Y-You don't even know me." she replied.
"But I'll get to know you and I won't quit. We jack Russell's are a very determined breed." he replied with a smile.
Junior knocked on the open door as Kris had her back to him. "Hey Kris" he said as he placed a hand on her shoulder
She jumped as she dropped the book she had her hand on. Her heart was now beating rapidly. "Junior- you scared me" she said as she chuckled.
"I'm sorry." he said as he walked over and picked it up for her. He placed it back on the book shelf as he turned towards her. "You know this was the shelf you helped me build and this room was the first place-" he began saying.
"You told me you were falling in love with me." she finished his sentence for him with a smile.
Junior was in complete shock as his eyes and mouth opened wide. "Y-You remembered that?"
"You asked me what kind of dog you were" she laughed. "I answered Jack Russell"
Junior pulled Kris into his arms as he hugged her with tears in his eyes.
She smiled as she hugged him tighter.
"Junior, I had so many flash backs today from being here." she said very excited as tears streamed down her face. "When I was talking to Jean today, I remembered her telling me that I was safe and that she was there for me. I also told her that she I considered her to be more of a mom to me then mine ever was. I hung out with Todd and he showed me where my trailer sat and I remember it catching on fire and I remembered our first time together and our break up" she added as she went on.
For the past almost 3 weeks now, Junior has never seen Kris this excited. He watched how beautiful her smile was as her face lit up. "Kris, slow down" he said as he chuckled.
Junior it was amazing and scary at the same time. "I remember the time when Henry brought me clothes to wear for that festival and you coming over later that night trying to be Mr. Charming. Then I saw me and Pablo on the tracks working together with Todd always at my side." she said chuckling.
"Junior it's slowly coming back to me. I don't want to stop, I-I'm afraid that if I do I'm going to lose it all" she confessed with tears still coming down her cheeks.
Junior took her face into his hands. "Kris, everything will be okay, you'll see."
"Junior, take a walk with me" she asked.
"Of course" he replied as he kissed her on the forehead. He took her by the hand as they headed towards the door.
She smiled as she followed. Just then she saw something from the corner of her eye. "Junior wait" she said.
"What's wrong?" he asked her.
She walked over towards Matt's desk as she bent down to try and grab whatever it was.
"Kris, what are you doing?" he asked confused as he approached her.
"There's something here. I-I can't get it?" she said. "It's stuck"
"Here" he said as he walked around and lifted up the desk.
"Thank you" she said as she grabbed it.
"What it is?" he asked as he watched her wipe off the dust.
"I don't know" she responded as she shook her head. It has my name on it."
"Well, let's open it and find out" Junior said as he smiled down at her.
She nodded her head as she slowly started opening it.
