Kitty stared blankly into the deep dark abyss of her locker, she had no idea how long she had been standing there and nor did she care.

"Kit you are gonna be late" a smooth familiar male voice came from behind her.

"I don't care" she whispered into her locker, too afraid to turn around and face him

"You do care Kit, I know you do" he replied gently touch her upper arm

"Are we talking about the same thing" she uttered finally turning to face him

"No" he replied his dark story eyes meeting hers "lets talk."

He let her away and she followed several paces behind keeping her eyes locked onto his dark unruly hair. He stopped outside his forest green jeep and held the door wide open for her, waiting for her to enter the car.

"We're skipping?' she questioned

"You know you don't care" was all he said in reply

Kitty climbed into the car as the pensive silence rolled over them throughout the drive.

Lance stopped the car at a deserted park and got out with Kitty trailing silently behind him.

"Lance, where are we going" she questioned but received no answer.

Lance continued walking until he came to a wooden bench next to a flowing fountain. He sat down on the bench and Kitty followed his example.

"Lance?" she question when he took her hands in his own

"Shush" he said placing one of his fingers over he soft innocent lips

Kitty lifted her head up slightly until her brown eyes were staring directly into his with a pleading questioning look in them.

"I still love you Kit, I don't care what the problem is we can work through it" he said answering the question in her eyes

"Lance I love you too, but nothing can make what I did, what I'm doing right" she whispered her tone of voice lowering to almost a whimper

"What is it?" he asked gently his tone sounded so honest and caring

"I cheated on you" she whispered "I still am. I'm with John, Pyro now."

"Kit, cheating isn't a crime, I still love you and I really don't care" he replied gently

"I love you too Lance but are you sure?"

"Most definitely Kitty, I love you too much to let you go that easily."

He wrapped his arms around her waist and her arms move easily towards his neck where they snaked their way around. He pulled her body in closer their heat radiating towards each other. He kissed her lips, softly at first with a hint of hesitation, but then she took over and led him in further, controlling the kiss making it last until they finally had to come up for air.

"We should get back" she whispered kissing Lance lightly on his ear

He nodded slowly letting the moment sink in before they got up hand in hand and returned to his jeep.

Crimson eyes glowed from behind the tree watching the couple disappear. Flames erupted out of a dormant lighter and surrounded the area where he was hiding.

"She still wants me too" he whispered inwardly to himself "I just have to win her over or kill to keep her"
