Kristin sat on her bed, thinking about the good times she had with her dad over three works, and getting them mixed in with the first twelve years before Horizon.
~To my mother, to my father, It's your son or it's your daughter, Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me? Should I turn this up for you? ~
"Hey there," Cole greeted her, "Peter wants to talk to you, plus it's chow time." She turned to look at him. "Cole, remember I told you what he did?" she asked. He nodded slowly-he had gotten use to Kristin referring to her dad as "he".
"I didn't tell you everything. He didn't just...he didn't just hit me once or twice, like I said. I, I tried to get away faster, I was trying to protect Colt. But he grabbed me and kept hitting me. It was like before. But I trusted him, Cole, so it's my fault, right? If I hadn't of trusted him, I could've prevented it when I saw him drunk instead of just hiding in a closet." she persisted, looking straight into his eyes.
~I sit locked inside my head Remembering everything you've said This silence gets us nowhwere! Gets us nowhere way too fast! ~
"We never talked like real families should. The entire three weeks, it was an occasional bits and pieces of a conversation. But not a conversation. I've never had a real conversation with him. I've always just been a slave to him. WHY? Was your dad always like that?" she demanded.
He started answering her first questions. "Kristin...It wasn't your fault. You're just a little kid. You can't predict the future. My dad wasn't always like that. He..He kinda...killed my mom. It started when the twins were born. He hit my mom while she was pregnant and now one of 'em is kinda messed up," Cole explained, "I've never forgave him. You need to tell Peter so your dad won't get away with this."
~The silence is what kills me I need someone here to help me But you don't know how to listen And let me make my decisions ~
"No! I don't want to, Cole. I just want to forget him. It's easy, really...Just ignore it like it never happened." she said, shrugging. "No, it's NOT easy, Kristin. If you remember so much from when you were younger you're not just going to forget that your father beat the hell out of you. You need to tell Peter!"
~'Cause I sit here locked inside my head remembering everything you've said The silence gets us nowhere! Gets us nowhere to fast! ~
He sat on the bed next to her and put his arm around her. "When I told Peter, I felt better. A lot better."
"Peter knows my dad did that!" "He doesn't know that that's the reason why you ran! You don't have any bruises on your face. He doesn't KNOW." he tried to convince her. "Yeah my dad got smart," she said sarcastically, "he slapped me around but more so hurt my back."
Then Scott and Shelby walked in. "What's up?" Scott asked. "My-Never mind. I'm going to talk to Peter." Kristin said and jumped up.
She ran to Peter's office and ran into him. She stumbled back. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked. She shook her head and hugged him tightly, her feelings from the past three weeks spilling out.
~All your insults and your curses make me feel like I'm not a person And I feel like I am nothing but you made me so do something 'Cause I'm fucked up because you are Need attention, attention you couldn't give ~
"Kristin," he tried to comfort her. "He-he hit me, Peter. I thought he had changed. I really did. I trusted him, and he started again." she said through her tears. "I should've seen it. He never paid attention to anything I said, really. He just left me get away with everything. But sometimes he'd snap and start screaming at the littlest thing."
"WHy didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me he hit you?" Peter asked, bending down to be eye level with her, gripping her shoulders. "He didn't until the night before I ran. He came home drunk because his wife was leaving him. She left with Sammy and he hit me real hard, and then I ran with Colt."
~I sit here locked inside my head Remembering everything you've said This silence get us nowhere! Gets us nowhere way to fast !~
"PLease don't make me go ever again." she begged him. "I won't, I swear. You're never leaving again." he assured her, enclosing her in a tight hug when Aaron and Ashley bounced in.
Kristin wiped her eyes and faced her little brother and sister. "Hi-hi," they chirped. "Aaron, Ash, this is your big sister, Kristin," Peter explained, smiling. "Daddy talked about you a lot," Aaron remarked.
They each ran to her and hugged her gleefully.
Kristin looked up at Peter. "I love you," she said softly. He smiled and put an arm around her shoulder. "I love you, too," he answered and kissed the top of her head.
**Okay that was the end. Personally, I think it's a lot better than some of my endings have been, because it brings closure to the story. Well please read and REVIEW Cole's story RECURRENT PAST! And review this one;- )**
