A/N: This started out around say, October. Sorry it's short I don't know how to bring around this one event. But I know where I'm going. I know what I want to do but the ending isn't clear, just the events leading to it. Sorry this chapter is soooo short! I promise to make the next one longer!!

Wicked Misty - I'll agree, Saves The Day does rule, I was thinking of using a song of theirs in my fic, along with a Weezer one.

Sinead - You're so lucky, Jimmy Eat World rawks too! I like most of their songs.

Chapter 5

The rest of the day went on fine. David did his shuns and had his one-on-one with Peter. He avoided anything related to his Dad and his home. This particular session lasted longer then the other ones they had had. Finally when it had ended David walked over to the shed to see if Kristen was already there or not. She wasn't.

Taking a chancing glance outside the shed, David looked around the area for any sight of his girlfriend. Not seeing anyone, David got discouraged. He stuck his head back into the shed and leaned against the wall. He let out a sad sigh and closed his eyes. Just then he felt a pair of warm lips hit his. The familiarity of them was all he needed as he responded. Cupping his girlfriend's chin in his two hands he gave her a kiss then pulled back.

"Hey." He said softly. Kristen smiled and brought him back into another deep kiss. After a few more minutes, David pulled back. "Wanna talk?" he asked and Kristen shrugged.

"Okay. What about?" she asked as they sat down.

"I don't know, anything." David said having a topic but not sure if he wanted to tell her it.

"That doesn't help." Kristen laughed a bit. David gave a small laugh.
"Sure doesn't." he said looking down. He slowly looked up. "Actually, I do want to know something." He said fiddling with a piece of dirt off the shed floor.

"What do you want to know?" Kristen asked waiting.

"Why are you here?" David asked without hesitation.

"I'm here because my mom needs to find a job and needs to get settled and stuff. She's a single mother and junk so she dropped me off here with my aunt, Sophie." Kristen answered simply.

"So, there's nothing wrong with you?" David asked raising an eyebrow.

"No, why would there be?" Kristen asked a bit defensively.

"I'm not saying that there would be, just didn't know. Peter didn't tell us that." David said looking back down again.

"Sorry... I didn't mean to say it like that." Kristen said and gave David a hug. He gave her a small hug back then leaned against the wall. "Was that all you wanted to know?" Kristen asked and David nodded deciding not to tell her about his past.

"Well, I think we should go back now." David said after a few moments silence.

"Yeah." Kristen agreed and stood up, wiping off her pants.
"See you tomorrow." David said kissing her on the lips then on the forehead. "Sweet dreams." He added.

"Sweet dreams." Kristen said slipping off into the darkness. David smiled watching her form slink towards the girl's dorm. Once she entered David counted to thirty before slinking towards his destination.

It was now the middle of December, David and Kristen were still together and having more frequent visits to the shed. Kristen would sometimes go a bit too far for David's taste. Sure he wanted it but he wasn't sure if Kristen was sure. So, he'd stop her.

"David, can I talk to you?" Kristen asked as she walked up to him in the lodge.

"Um, sure." David said and fumbled his papers around. After getting his papers situated he followed Kristen over to a corner in the lodge. "What did you want to talk about?" David asked after he and Kristen settled themselves.

"Why do you always stop?" Kristen asked and David was taken aback.

"Um... well, I just don't know if you're ready, like you're sure and stuff." David said and Kristen gave an oh-I-understand-now look.

"Oh, well, I think I am." Kristen said in a matter-of-fact voice.

"You sure?" David double-checked.

"Yes." Kristen confirmed.

"So, when do you want to... meet?" David asked and Kristen paused.

"Um, on Wednesday." Kristen said and David nodded.

"Two days. This will be torture." David said and gave her a smile.
"Why do you think I pick it?" Kristen smirked then kissed David. "Well I have to go do some journal assignment. I'll see you at dinner. Bye." Kristen said walking off. David had nodded then returned to his studies.

The two days went as fast as a sloth climbing to the next branch in a tree. It really was torture for David; after all he is a guy (A/N: No offense guys, if guys read this...). David had decided not to meet Kristen in the shed for the two days he had to wait. Instead he tried to find a way to get some protection. The outlook didn't look good, until Peter approached the group that afternoon.

"Hey guys." Peter said walking up to them. Various greetings were given along with a few moans. "Nice to see you guys too. Anyways, I've decided that you guys are long overdue for a visit to Rusty's." Peter said and everyone perked up.

"When are we going?" David said in a pretend not caring voice.

"We're going for dinner, tonight." Peter answered and David nodded. "Well, you

have a few hours before we leave so make them productive." Peter said and walked away. Everyone nodded and got back to work. David looked at Kristen who was sitting next to him.

"Do you have any money?" David asked feeling a bit embarrassed to be asking her.

"For what?" Kristen asked, "Ooooh, I don't know, I might." She said.

"Okay, thanks." David said looking down. Kristen giggled.

"It's okay David." She said laughing softly. David still looked down embarrassed.

"All I need to do then is to get to a convenient store or something without Peter or Sophie noticing..." David thought aloud but in a low whisper so only he and Kristen could hear.

"I could distract them." She said and David nodded.

"That could work." He said and thought a bit longer. "We'll try that." David finalized.
