Don't Take It All Away---Chapter Nine
Thanks to Cole for helping me! Go check out his cool story called Newcomer! His user name is HGmonkey017 . Oh yeah, if anyone has heard a song with the following lyrics in it please tell me. I've heard it tons of times and I'd like to use it for one of my stories cuz it fits perfectly but the stupid gay radio station never announces who sings it! So here are bits and pieces [I'm not totally sure they are exactly correct it's from memory]: "To my mother/to my father/this is your son/or, this is your daughter/remembering all those things you've said/the silence gets us nowhere/gets us nowhere/gets us nowhere very fast".
Cole walked into the boys dorm. It had seemed so long ago that he had been sleeping here, but it was really only a month or two. "Cole, my man!" Scott exclaimed. "Oh. Hey, Scott," Cole said, smiling a little.
With everything, in truth, he had completely forgotten about how great everyone and everything at Horizon was. Everything felt so different without Kristin, especially.
Kristin had brought the youth to Horizon-sure they were all kids, but none of them were twelve. What amde them seem even more like a family was the annoying tag-along that every family had. That was Kristin's role; beside the fact she was the most messed up twelve-year-old he had ever met.
_____That night
Cole couldn't sleepand he really wanted to talk to Kristin. He needed to make sure she was alright. He just hoped to God that she was still awake and her father wouldn't answer.
He snuck to Peter's office and got into the files and found Maddox, Kristin. He sat at Peter's chair and looked over it. He had known that Kristin was, well...Kristin. The file stated that she basically was a thief and a run-away. Also that she drove her dirtbikes on private property just to annoy people. It sounded like her, alright.
He got her number and called. Kristin answered, not sounding tired atall. "Kristin? It's Cole." he said, making sure to keep his voice down. "Cole? How'd you get this number? Why are you calling so late?" she demanded.
"I'm bck at Horizon...my dad came back and Becky sent me back here. I snuck into the files. This is the only time I could call you and I just wanted to make sure you're alright." he explained. "I'm fine. I just wanna come back." "Did you tell Peter?" Cole asked. "yeah. Today. He said I couldn't. I wanna see you...and Scott and everyone. I don't care if I'm with Adam. So I do, but...I don't know how to explain it. In one way, I want everything better, like the past never happened, and to be here with a new family. But, the other way is, I wanna be with Peter and Sophie. the nightmares...they'd stay but at least I'd know that it happened and nothing's gonna change-it was better knowing what had happened then being where it was everyone ignoring it. And I want to be there, not here." she explained, her voice sounding less angry and more confused. "and I stole one of my dad's razors. I haven't cut in a real, real long time, Cole. Not since Jules found me doing it. Great, I hear footsteps. It's probably just Colt. He had a nightmare so he was in my bed. I have to go." she mumbled and hung up.
Cole put the phone down and gulped. He knew Kristin would hate him if he told Peter that she was cutting again, but he didn't know what she'd do if he didn't. He was about to go back to the dorms when the light cut on and Peter appeared in the doorway\.
