Disclaimer: I do not own Radio Free Roscoe. If I did Nathan carter would be my lover and my sex slave;)
Buffy: thanks for reviewing. Yeah I love the show to. Take care of Brianne for me.
RomeElla: aw Bri you read my story ) yay) lol take care of yourself.
Krissy played her guitar for an hour then looked at the clock and realized it was two minutes to four so she went up to her room and turned her radio dial to 88.1. A guitar riff came threw the speakers.
"This" said a girl's voice.
"Is" said a guy's voice.
"Radio" said second guy's voice.
"Free" said third guy's voice.
"Roscoe" said all the voices
"I'm Question Mark and I am wondering why are people so quick to judge?" said Question Mark.
"Well Question Mark, people might judge a person because they don't trust the person and she I mean they might be trying to take something you really want" said Lily looking back at Travis.
"Well Shady I think you might be wrong on this one. You can't judge a person before you talk to them. As Buddha once said 'it is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways'" said Travis.
"Well Pronto have anything to say on this?" asked Robbie.
"Not really QM. I can say openly I have judged people before but then they turn out being my friends so who knows" said ray while shrugging his shoulders.
"Well let's hear what other people have to say. Call in and give us your option on this subject" said Robbie as Travis turned on a song.
Krissy sat in her room for the rest of the hour listening to the show. Then she looked at the clock and realized she had to leave in 30 minutes to meet Robbie at Mickey's. As she was putting on her converse her cell phone rang.
"Hello."
"KRISSY! What'd up hunny?!"
"Hey Sophie. How is Ottawa? How is Chris?"
"Ottawa is so boring with out you. Chris misses you tons Krissy. Do you still like him?" asked Sophie.
"I never liked him Sophie."
"Yeah and I am miss popular at Pius. You know you can't lie to me."
"Okay I liked him a little. But he would never like me that way. Everyone knows he likes you. Has he even gotten the guts to ask you out yet?"
"About that. If it is okay with you can I go out with him? He asked me today. And I told him I would get back to him about it. So is it okay with you if I do?"
"Yeah of course go out with him you would look really cute together. Listen Soph I got to meet someone soon, so I will call you later okay?"
"Yeah. Talk to you later."
"Bye" Krissy said.
She hung up her cell phone as tears ran down her face. 'I don't know why I am crying. Chris never saw me more then anything of a best friend. He told me himself. And Sophie will make him so happy. More then I ever could.' Krissy thought all of this as she was getting ready. She dried her tears and walked out the door.
Robbie was sitting on the couch in Mickey's listening to some music when he saw Krissy walk in. 'wow. She looks like she has been crying. I wonder what is wrong.'
Krissy walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Hey Robbie. What's up?" Krissy asked forcing a smile.
"Hey Krissy, are you okay? You look sad."
"I'm fine. Why would I look sad?"
"I don't know. You tell me. 'Cause from where I'm sitting it looks like you have been crying."
"It's no big deal, really."
"If it isn't a big deal. Then why were you crying?"
"Urg fine. I need to talk to someone anyways. But your going to keep your mouth shut about this okay."
Robbie nodded his head and waited for Krissy to start talking.
"Well there was this guy back in Ottawa Chris. He was one of my best friends while I was there. I had a huge crush on him but I never told him because I was afraid I would ruin the friendship and our friendship meant the world to me. But Chris liked my best girl friend Sophie. I could tell from the way he would look at her. He looked at her the same way Travis looks at Lily. Well Sophie just called me before I left my house to come here to ask me if it was ok with me if I went out with Chris because she knew how much I liked him. Well of course I said yes. I'm not even in Ottawa anymore so I would be like a huge bitch to say no, but even though I'm not there it still hurts because I still have some feelings for Chris. But I know he would never see me the way I see him so I guess I will just have to get over it" Krissy said with a sigh.
"Ouch! Liking your best friend is never easy. Ray is going through the same thing right now with Lily. Maybe you guys should talk. He could maybe help you better then I could. I can't say I have ever fallen for my best friend" Robbie said giving Krissy an apologetic look.
"I don't even want to think about it. Maybe I will be able to forget the stupid feelings that are running through my heart right now. I thought maybe with me moving to Roscoe I would forget Chris. Find someone to make me forget the feelings I have for him. And maybe just maybe I have. But I only just met him so it's not likely."
"Who do you like? Is it Travis?" asked Robbie.
"Holy crap. People in Roscoe are a lot better at telling feelings then in Ottawa. Yeah I like Travis. I don't know what it is about him, I just feel I don't know I can't find the words to describe how I feel when I am around him. I guess he makes me feel safe. I feel like he knows what I have been through what with all the moving and stuff. But I know that he loves Lily. You can see it when he looks at her. All the love in his eyes." Krissy sighed and pulled her knees to her chest and put her head on them. "Lily is a lucky girl to have a guy like Travis love her. He is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. And I have met a lot of people."
Robbie just looked at Krissy as she sat there with her head on her knees. He didn't know what to tell her. He could tell she was torn up inside because of that Chris guy. And how she wants Travis to like her back. 'If only I could tell her how cute I think she is. But it is obviously not the right time to tell her that. I wonder how that Chris guy could not see what is in front of him. And I know Travis is devolving feelings for Krissy. He always walks with her. But I have a feeling Lily won't let Krissy get in her way of getting Travis. Poor girl she looks so sad and confused. Maybe I should buy her a hot chocolate' thought Robbie.
"Hey do you want a hot chocolate? It's on me."
"Sure why not. Chocolate does make everything better" said Krissy giving Robbie a small smile.
Robbie smiled back and went and ordered the hot chocolates. While he was standing there waiting for his order Mickey walked over.
"Hey there kid. Who is the new girl?" Mickey asked pointing over to Krissy.
"That's Krissy. She just moved her from Ottawa."
"She looks bummed about something. Do you happen to know what?"
"Yep she is having guy trouble. So I'm buying her a hot chocolate and letting her get it all off of her chest."
"You like her don'tya" Mickey asked.
Robbie blushed. "Well she is cute. But she doesn't like me. She likes Travis."
"Hey kid trust me. If you keep being there for her she will probable start liking you to. So go be a friend for her and maybe later when she is feeling better you can ask her out."
"Thanks Mickey."
"Just doing my job kid. Now here are your hot chocolates."
Robbie walked back over to Krissy with the two hot chocolates.
"Here you go one hot chocolate extra whip cream."
"Thanks Robbie" Krissy said giving him a warm smile.
Robbie sat back down on the couch and took a sip of his drink.
"So Krissy having any trouble yet in you're classes?"
"Nope. Thank god I don't have math this semester. If I did I would be dieing right now" Krissy said with a laugh.
"That's good."
Just then Travis and Ray walked through the door. They noticed Robbie sitting on the couch and walked over.
"Hey Robbie" said Ray. "Oh and if it isn't Ms. Krissy. How are you this fine evening?" ask Ray.
"I'm good Ray." Krissy said laughing at ray.
"Hi Krissy, hey Robbie." Said Travis.
"Hey Travis" Krissy said with a faint blush on her cheeks looking at Robbie begging him with her eyes not to mention what they were talking about.
"Hey Travis. What are you guys doing here?"
"Well I thought I would come to Mickey's and see if anyone was here. Krissy I stopped at your house to see if you wanted to come but no one answered the door" said Travis.
"Yeah my dad is gone out. He is buying groceries."
"Okay."
"So what were you guys talking about?" asked Ray as he plopped on the couch beside Krissy.
"Nothing important" said Robbie.
"Yeah nothing important. Robbie and I were just getting to know each other better" Krissy said with a smile to Robbie.
Ray leaned over to Travis and whispered "do you get the feeling we are missing out on something here?"
"Yeah I think so but oh well, good thing they are getting along. Now all we have to do is get Lily to like her."
"Yeah I don't get Lily what is there to not trust?"
"I don't know" Travis replied while shrugging his shoulders.
Just then Lily and Parker walked into Mickey's and ordered some drinks.
"YO Lily. Over here" Ray yelled waving her over.
"Hey guys" Lily said forcing a smile when she saw Krissy.
Parker leaned over to Lily and whispered "remember what I said. Be nice."
flash back
Parker and Lily where sitting in Lily's room snacking on junk food and talking about random things.
"Randy why do you hate Krissy so much? She is really nice. I was talking to her in geography. You should give her a chance."
"Parker I don't hate her. I just don't trust her."
"What is there not to trust? She hasn't done anything to you except invite you over on Friday to hang out. If you don't trust people who invite you over to their house you are one weird person."
"I don't know. I just hate the fact that in one day her and Travis have become like best friends. I guess I am worried he will stop liking me and go after Krissy."
"Randy Randy Randy. You have nothing to worry about I told her in geo that you liked him and she said she could respect that you where here first. And anyways everyone knows that Travis likes you."
"Okay I will try and give her a chance."
"Just be nice. You are nice to everyone else Krissy should be no different."
end flash back
"Hey Krissy, Ray, Robbie Travis. How is it going?" asked Lily.
"It's good. How about you?" asked Krissy.
"Its good Parker and I just thought we would come to Mickey's and see who was here."
"Looks like everyone had the same idea tonight" said Travis smiling at Lily.
Krissy looked away as he did and Robbie noticed it all.
"So Krissy want to go look through the cds with me?"
"Sure."
They walked to the other side of Mickey's and started talking.
"Krissy I know it is going to hurt for a while to see Travis and Lily together but you can't let it get you down. You are so pretty when you smile" Robbie said with a blush.
"You think I'm pretty?"
"Yeah I do" Robbie said his facing turning 7 different shades of red.
"You are like the first guy to ever tell me that. Thanks" Krissy said with a smile and a blush.
"Come on we should get back to them they might think something."
"Yeah. Come on my hot chocolate is getting cold" Krissy said while grabbing Robbie's hand and bringing him back over.
"So find anything you like?" asked the oblivious Ray.
"No didn't find any good cds." Krissy said smiling at Robbie.
Lily looked at Krissy suspiciously. 'I don't care what Parker says. I don't trust this girl. First she is making moves on Travis and now she is trying to get with Robbie. What a little skank. No way she is going to ruin everything. I like it the way it is.' Thought Lily.
"So Lily I heard you sing to, and that you got a single. That's really cool" Krissy said trying to start a conversation with her.
"Yeah Travis produced it for me. After all the time we spent together we got a lot closer" said Lily with a smug look on her face.
"That's really cool. I would totally love to do that but I don't think any of my songs are good enough to be a single."
"Come on I bet they are great" said Robbie.
"I don't know. I never think my songs are good I don't know it's just me."
"Well on Friday you are going to play me one of your songs okay. And I will tell you if it is good or not" Robbie said with a smile.
"Okay. I think I can trust your judgement McGrath" Krissy said giving Robbie a warm smile.
"So Krissy what time you have to home tonight?" asked Ray.
"9. Why Ray?"
"Well since yesterday you said you can't be late cause how strict your dad is. So, if I was you, I would run home right now."
"Why?" Krissy asked ray with a very confused look.
"Because it is 9:10."
"SHIT!" yelled Krissy. "It was fun but I have really got to go. I'll see you guys tomorrow" Krissy said as she ran out the door.
"I wonder why she is always so worried?" asked Ray.
"Maybe her dad is really strict. I don't know I haven't met him. You have Travis what is he like?" asked Robbie.
"Really tall, really buff and really intimidating. Doesn't exactly look like the kind of guy you would want to piss off."
Krissy ran home as fast as she could. She got home in 5 minutes. She opened the door and didn't hear a thing. It scared her deeply. She walked into the living room and saw that no lights were on. 'Maybe he has already gone to bed' Krissy thought hopefully.
Just then her dad came in stumbling in drunk from the kitchen.
"You little bitch. Where were you? You are 15 minutes late" he slurred.
"I'm sorry. I was with friends I lost track of time. I swear it will never happen again" Krissy said worried out of her mind.
"You ungrateful bitch you said that back in Ottawa and look you did it again!" yelled her dad and threw her into the wall.
"Be home on time next time or I will do even more."
Krissy sat there for a little while. 'Damn I hate him when he is drunk! He is never like this when he is sober. He becomes a completely different person when he is drunk. I wish mom had never died' Krissy thought as she started to cry. After 5 minutes of crying in the living room. Krissy went up to her room and grabbed her note book. She wrote and wrote and wrote. She eventually fell asleep at 2 o'clock am.
Travis was standing on Krissy front porch the next morning waiting for someone to answer. But no one did. He turned the knob and noticed it was open. He walked in the quiet house.
"Hello. Krissy are you here? Anyone here?" Travis yelled out.
He walked up the stairs and looked around. He saw a door with a poster of Nirvana on it and knew that was her room. He opened the door and saw Krissy asleep on her bed lying on a note book. He walked over and was about to wake her when he noticed what was written in the book.
'I swear one day he is going to be so drunk he is not even going to notice what he is doing and he is going to hit me so hard. And it will be a bruise or a cut I can't hide. If only mom hadn't of died.' It read.
'Oh God her dad is a drunk. And he hits her. I will have to talk about it with her later but right now I have to get her up cause we are going to be late for school' thought Travis.
"Krissy, Krissy come on time to wake up we got to go to school" Travis said shaking her.
"Huh, Travis what are you doing here? How did you get in my room?"
"The front door was open. I yelled but no one answered me so I thought I would check your room. Now come on we are going to be late for school. I will wait out side your room while you get changed okay."
"Okay I will only be a few seconds."
"Okay" Travis said as he walked out of her room.
Krissy grabbed a pair of black baggy jeans and a black t-shirt and ran into the bathroom. She got changed brushed her teeth and hair grabbed her shoes and ran out of her room.
"Come on I will put my shoes on downstairs" Krissy said grabbing Travis' arm and pulling him down that stairs.
She slipped on her black circas grabbed her leather jacket and walked out the door.
"I don't think I have ever seen a girl get fast that ready before" laugh Travis.
"Yeah well I'm not like more girls."
"No you're not."
