The day of the party had come; Kelsie walked her locker after the third block. Only one more class and then she could go get her stuff ready to head to Sechelt, and then go over to Paige's house.

As she was opening up her locker, she heard someone holler her name, startling her a bit. "Kelsie."

Kelsie turned to her left to see Paige making her way towards her. "Hey Paige, what's up?"

"Well I wanted to talk to you about tonight," Paige, said as she leaned against the lockers, twirling her hair around her finger.

"What about it?" speculating what else they could really talk about, they had already figured out the details during class.

"There's been a little bit of a change. I have a few errands to do after school so you won't be coming right after school. Ashley will pick you up a little later."

Thinking it was silly for someone to drive her, "There's no need for her to pick me up; I know where you live."

"I know you do, but this way you won't have to bring your car back before you head to the airport," trying to convince her this was the right way to do it.

"Paige I wasn't planning to stay over night I have to be up early," being as nice as possible, not wanting to hurt her feelings after all the work Paige put into their girls night.

"Come on girl we'll make sure you're up, and we were planning on taking you," begging her.

Giving in, after all it would be nice to have a sleepover with them so that they could gossip about the boys at Degrassi, amongst other things. "Okay, I'll stay. It would be easier on my parents, and then they don't have to go to work late."

"So you just make sure that you're wearing something cute tonight," she said as she started to head down the hall.

"Paige wait," she grabbed her books, closing her locker, and darting to catch up to Paige. "Why would I need to wear something cute? I thought we were just going to stay at your house," beginning to think something was going on.

"I was thinking we might go out for a little while."

"Okay, I guess I'll see you tonight," as she headed down the opposite hall towards her last class.

"Bye Hun."

Kelsie turns around in her seat to face Craig who was looking at something closely in his notebook. To Kelsie it looked like he was really concentrating on whatever was in the notebook, but what was it? Kelsie couldn't really make it out looking upside down. It defiantly wasn't something for this class, since he wasn't one to really take many notes, so she figured he was just doing homework for another class.

"Craig."

"Yeah," not taking his eyes off the notebook.

"What are you doing after school?" not feeling like being alone all afternoon.

"Oh I have a couple of things I have to do for Joey; he's been working a lot lately so he asked me to do a couple of things for him," he lied. He hated to lie to her, especially when she meant so much, but he promised Paige.

"Everyone seems to have something to do this afternoon," a little bummed that everyone she had asked seem to have plans.

The bell rang for the end of the day. It was the last day of the week since there was a Pro D Day tomorrow. A nice break from this place Kelsie thought.

"Well I hope you have a good weekend in Sechelt," Craig said as he got up from his seat.

"I do too," excited that she would finally get to see Chris for the first time since she had moved.

As they started walking up the stairs to their lockers, "I hope you have a good birthday too!" Putting his hand on her shoulder briefly, "Have fun at Paige's tonight."

"Thank you," she said shooting a smile his way as she headed past his locker to hers.

As Craig watched, her head off he couldn't help but anxiously wait to see her face tonight when she saw what they all had done for her. He only hoped that she would love it!

He noticed the time it sad clock on the wall of the hallway at school, he needed to get home, and finish practicing his present to her; it had to be perfect for someone herself that was already perfect.

"Craig," Spinner yelled down the long hall.

"What is it; I'm just heading home," walking backwards.

"I'll be over around 5pm to help bring over the equipment to Paige's house, so make sure you're ready by then."

"Alright, see you then, but I really have to go now."

"Okay, bye," waving.

"Bye," Craig said as he walked towards the stairs.

Kelsie was in her room finishing packing, when she heard the doorbell ring. She quickly zipped up her suitcase, grabbed her coat, and headed downstairs to answer the door; she was wearing a pink vest, with a black tube top underneath, a pink plaid skirt, and her pink suede boots.

"Hey Ashley."

Ashley stood there in her low-riders, and a red sleeveless turtleneck.

"Ready?"

"Yep, just let me just turn off the lights, and then we can go," she said heading into the living room, no one else was home, her parents had gone out for dinner. THEREFORE, she wanted to make sure everything was secure before she left.

"Do you need help with your bag?" seeing that it looked heavy.

"No it's okay."

They got into Ashley's car, "I have to put a blindfold on you."

"Why?" curious what this was all about.

"Paige's orders, don't ask me. I'm not really sure," she lied.

"Alright," Kelsie turned so that Ashley could out it on. "Paige's is up to something, what is it?" knowing her too well.

"I don't know, she wouldn't tell me a thing."

They drove a couple of blocks over until the hit Cobble Hill Drive. They turned left on the road, and drove until they hit the house that read 2230. Ashley stopped right in front of it and got out of the car going right over to help Kelsie out of the car.

"We're here, grab my hand, and I'll lead you up to the house."

"Okay," with that she gave out her hand, and slowly got out of the car with a little trouble.

As they went up the pathway Ashley had help Kelsie keep a steady foot, "Okay Kelsie we're going up the stairs now, so we're going to do it slowly." As they got to the top, "We're finished; we just have to go inside."

"Can I take this off already?" a little impatient to know what the surprise Paige had in store for her.

"Not quite yet."

Ashley brought her through the door; everyone was standing around the house. She slowly brought her into the living room where the band was waiting for her to come so that they could start.

Everyone yelled surprise after Paige took off her blindfold. She defiantly had a surprised look on her face. She couldn't believe that they had done this for her. However, that was just the start; Craig had something up his sleeve that no one knew about.

"Paige you didn't have to do this," Kelsie said looking around the room with a giant smile upon her face.

"Nonsense, you seemed like you needed something like this to help you feel like this is your home."

Kelsie went and gave her a big hug, "Thanks, it really means a lot to me, more than you know."

"No problem," Jimmy said, coming over putting his arm around Ashley waist.

"Now our bands going to play a special song for you, a song that was just wrote for your party."

This excited Kelsie, she was getting her own little song to call her own. Kelsie went and sat on the stool put there for her so she could just sit and listen to the words being sung to her.

Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be,
Alone

Those days are gone, and I want so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

Chorus:
What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble

I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight

CHORUS

Bridge:
Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah

I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

CHORUS

What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew

How did I fall,
in love ,
with you?

Listening to those words Kelsie knew that Craig had written this song about her. It may not be clear to everyone else but she knew it. This furred her, what right did he have to day this when she had a boyfriend. She told him that kiss hadn't meant anything. She kept telling herself this because she couldn't think that she may be falling for him. Well this wasn't going to stop her from having fun with her boyfriend.

When they were finished with the song, Kelsie went up to them, and gave them all a big hug. "That was wonderful!" When she got to giving Craig a hug she put on a fake smile, she didn't know it but he knew it wasn't a real smile.

"Thanks!" they all said.

"Now let's get this party started," she yelled.

The band started to play dancing music, everyone hitting the dance floor. Manny and J.T were dancing rather close in the middle of the floor, not really noticing anyone around them. They were too much in love to notice anything.

"Time to sing happy birthday to the birthday girl," Paige said as she brought out of the kitchen, the cake full of candles.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Kelsie, Happy Birthday to you," they all sang.

"Make a wish," Spinner said wanting to her to do it fast so he could get some cake.

Kelsie thought for a couple moments about it, and she knew what it, and then blew out the candles.

"Well I have a surprise for Kelsie, and a little for you. She's going to sing us all a song," Craig hollered.

As Kelsie heard those words, her face dropped, and as she came up, she glared at Craig. He had promised not to say a word, but he just broke that promise. She roughly grabbed his guitar, and sat down on the stool before her.

"This was unexpected, but here's a song I wrote for my boyfriend a while ago called 'Pieces of Me'."

On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me

Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts

Chorus:
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care

When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy it's a mission
And you won't stop til I'm there

Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have

Chorus:
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah

On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe

Chorus:
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...

Everyone was amazed by her ability to sing, none of them knew she had it in her. As she finished they all clapped for her performance, coming up to her.

"That was great!" Marco said patting her on the back.

"Thanks," she said smiling. That actually felt good she thought. She had done it no problem.

After everyone had finish, telling how great she did, Kelsie began to get a little warm, and decided that she needed some air, so she went and sat on the front porch. Craig saw her go outside, followed her out, and sat beside her.

"Is something the matter?" Craig asked seeing a frown upon her face.

"Yeah, what gave you the right to do that?" you could see infuriate in her eyes.

"Do what?" acting as if he didn't know what she was talking about.

"Telling everyone that I could sing and that I would come up and play. Making me feel obligated to do it," she started to roar, standing up and throwing her hands in the air.

"I though maybe it would be nice thing to show your friends your amazing talent when they threw you this party."

"Well you promised that you wouldn't tell anyone until I was ready," she continued to shriek walking back and forth on the step.

"I'm sorry," he said looking to the ground.

"And what was with that song you wrote?" bringing up his other wrongdoing, the one that pissed her off even more.

"What about that?"

"I know you wrote it about me. Why, after I told you that kiss meant nothing."

"I think you were lying," he spat back.

"How dare you?" she said slapping him across the face. "You don't know how I feel about Chris; you don't know how we were when we were together so you don't know anything!" Kelsie began to run up the stairs.

Grabbing her arm to stop her, "No I don't, but I know what I felt when we kissed," bringing her into another kiss. This time she quickly pulled away, without looking back, she walked away from him.

The rest of the night, they both avoided each other. The last thing they both needed was another confrontation with each other. Craig knew that it is just what it would be like because of the way she acted outside; he needed to let her cool off. Craig worried that they may never get back all that he worked for, that their relationship was forever ruined.

Around everyone else Kelsie acted as if nothing happened, and kept an up beat attitude through out the rest of the party, counting down the time until she was in Chris's arms again. She especially wanted to get away from Craig; he defiantly wasn't in her good books right now. As long as she had known him, he had never been this way.
