"Kelsie fainted, I was just helping her," he said glancing over at Craig. He didn't want him to think he was trying anything.

Kelsie than awoke to see his face shining down on her, "Am I dead?"

He shook his head and smiled, "No!"

Moving from his arms, backing away from him, "Is this some kind of sick joke? It has to be, Chris is dead." she snared at him, looking a little distressed.

Trying to close the gap between each other, pleading with his eyes, "No, it's really me!"

She couldn't handle the news, she felt like the walls were closing in on her, as if she couldn't breathe. She had to get out of here. She pushed past both Chris and Craig, out of the door with tears filled in her eyes. Her life never seemed to stay normal everything was always complicated.

"I don't know why you staged you own death, but it was the cruelest thing you could ever have to someone you say you love. And I thought from what I've done that I was a jerk," Craig said before running out to comfort Kelsie.

"Kels, are you alright?" putting his hands on her shoulders.

Moving a little, "Just leave me alone, I need time to be alone." She jumped into the jeep, leaving Craig standing there, who was left there to walk back to the Inn.

On his walk back to the Inn, his phone was ringing; he looked at the call display to see that it was from back home. He wasn't sure if he was up to talking to anyone right now, but he decided that maybe he could help him out with his problem. "Hello," he said with sadness in his voice.

"Hey dude, how's the trip going, if you know what I mean?" Spinner asked as he sat in the Dot, after a long shift.

"Great…until about 10mins ago."

"What did you do?" knowing that Craig was bad for screwing things up.

"Nothing! But not everything that goes wrong in my relationships is necessarily my fault," acting very defensive.

"I know, I'm just bugging," he laughed. "So spill!"

"Guess who we ran into?" as his anger began to grow at the thought of it.

"Who?"

"Let's just say her boyfriend just came back from the dead."

Spitting out the drink he had in his mouth, "What, but how? Are you sure it was him?"

"Yes I'm sure. I don't know the details on how, but we went out for dinner and then she saw him."

"What kind of guy does that to their girlfriend? He's a jerk, she should be glad to be rid of him. Kelsie deserves so much better than that."

"Well I don't even know how she feels about it all because she took off on me, leaving me to walk back to the Inn."

"Well I have no doubt on whom she will pick; I mean you guys are great together. You bring out the best in each other."

Sitting on their bed in their room, "I hope you're right." Changing the subject since it really hurt him to have to talk about it. "What have you been up to?"

"Well hanging out with Emma of course! We went to Wonderland Monday, and tonight she's coming over to my place to my place to watch a movie, we just want to be alone."

"Oh…" knowing what Spinner meant by that comment. "Have I been missing anything else?"

"Just the big party Emma threw. It was awesome; anyone who's anyone was there."

"Emma threw a party. You must have really changed that girl."

"Yeah, but she is much better girl now that she isn't so uptight. She actually likes to go out and try new things without questioning it."

"Well good for you. As long as you, guys are both happy. However, I'm going to let you go. I'm going to call one of her friends to see if they have heard from her."

"Alright man, good luck," knowing that he was going to need it.

Kelsie sat on the hood of the Jeep, leaning against the glass, looking up at the marvelous stars. It had been a while since she seen this many, when in the city you can't see the stars as well. Nature always seemed to be more beautiful here.

She felt like screaming, how could he do this to her. Tears ran down her cheeks. She wanted to hate him so much for doing this to her, for turning her whole world upside down, for coming back to complicate things. She was doing a good job of moving on with a life without him, and now she finds out he's not really dead.

A car made its way up the hill, and parked right beside her. "I knew I'd find you up here. This was always your favorite place to go, to get away from everything. I remember the many times we would just come up here to talk about life, about our dreams," walking closer to her.

Kelsie didn't look his way, "I'm not really in the mood to talk to anyone right now, especially YOU," she spat, "SO LEAVE!"

"Kels just let me explain," Chris said sitting next to her.

Turning to face him, "Oh you think you deserve a chance to explain?"

"Trust me in some way I do."

Looking out at the view, she couldn't stand to look in the eyes of someone she still kept close to her heart, after what he had pulled. "Every night I cried myself to sleep for almost 2 months. I felt like I lost the other half of myself. It was like losing our daughter Satine all over again. I didn't think I would ever get over it. If you didn't want me you could have at least broke up with me instead of doing this, getting all our friends to lie for you."

"Can you even give me a chance to even tell you why?"

"Fine!" she yelled.

"I was in that accident after I left the airport. They didn't think I had any chances to live, so my mom thought that I would want you to be in the less pain as possible. So she decided since I was going to die anyways to tell you I had died already. She knew otherwise you would be on the next plane to see me, and knew it would be hard on you to watch me die like we did with our daughter."

Pounding her fist on the hood, "It's not fair; I shouldn't have been left out of that."

"I then ended up waking up in April, but still fragile. When I heard what my mom had done, I went crazy. I thought she didn't have the right to do that. I wouldn't talk to her for a while."

"Why didn't you end up telling me?" feeling so hurt that he didn't feel the need to end up telling her after he was better.

"I wanted to tell you in person because I didn't think it was the right thing to do over the phone."

"What happened then?" looking at him with evil eyes.

"Well at the beginning of June I came all the way to Toronto, and came to Degrassi to surprise you. I even went a picked out your favorite flower. When I came through the door, I saw you with Craig. You were in his arms giggling, and kissing. I had known you two were together, but I never thought you were that happy until I saw it. And I didn't want to come back into your life and complicate things. So I left leaving you to be happy like you deserve to be."

"Chris." Pointing to herself, "That should have been my choice to make. This was my life too."

"I'm sorry; it just seemed to make sense at the time," looking down at his lap.

"You know I never took of this ring," showing it to him as it hung on her neck on a necklace, "until about 3 months ago, and only because I thought it was time to move on. But I never stop loving you."

Looking into her eyes, "Really."

"Really! We have a bond that can never be torn by anything."

"Where do we go from here? Is there still a chance for us after all this?"

"I don't know because I love Craig too! I think I just need a little time to figure things out."

"I understand, but just remember I never meant to hurt you."

"I know that, my dad told me what you said after Satine died."

"Well I mean it always even if it means we can no longer be together," he said giving her a smile.

Kelsie leaned over, and gave him a hug. It felt so nice to be in his arms again she thought. She hadn't realized these past few moths how much she missed it. She looked up at him, into his eyes, and felt drawn to him like a magnet. She leaned in and gave him a kiss, soft, but quick.
