Chapter 12 *
"No…No…Chris, don't go to work." Matt heard this for the third time that night. Kirsten was obviously close to this Chris guy. He just wished she didn't have to suffer. He noticed that this is the time Kirsten would walk up screaming.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kirsten shot up in the bed. She was shaking, sweating, and scared as heck. "Oh god." She covers her eyes and starts to cry.
Matt sits up and holds her. "It's gonna be ok K. I promise."
"I can't get those images out of my head. It's worse now that Chris is gone."
"You were close to him weren't you?"
"Think of yours and Amy's relationship. That was me and Chris. We dated in high school, he graduated before me and we broke up. We still remand friends. Now, he's….he's…" Kirsten starts to cry again. Matt just holds her, trying to comfort her the best he could.
Matt just chuckled. Kirsten looked at him oddly, "And you think this is funny?"
"No no, not at all, I was laughing at the fact, for the first time in a long time, I don't know what to say."
Kirsten looked at Matt, and started to laugh. "I thought I'd never see the day!"
"Hey…I have my quiet moments, ya know."
Kirsten is now in hysterics. Matt smirked, "you think that's funny?" Kirsten is beyond hysterics, she's crying she's laughing so hard.
"Ok, that's it." Matt starts to tickle Kirsten. Kirsten started to try and escape, but come on, Matt's a wrestler. She was pretty much stuck, laughing, and crying.
"Ok, ok…I'm sorry….Matt, if ya don't….stop, I'm gonna pee my pants." Matt immediately stopped his assault on Kirsten.
They both lay back down, trying to catch their breath. Matt turned onto his side and looked at Kirsten. "You feel better?"
Kirsten turned and faced him; she kissed his nose, and smiled. "Much. Thank you."
"No, no. Thank you."
"For what?"
Seeing as how Kirsten looks confused, Matt leaned closer to her and smile. "For coming home."
"No…No…Chris, don't go to work." Matt heard this for the third time that night. Kirsten was obviously close to this Chris guy. He just wished she didn't have to suffer. He noticed that this is the time Kirsten would walk up screaming.
