Okay, it's been a while since I updated this one, but I've just been so busy with my other fanfics….Sorry.

A few days later, Kelly's doctors let her go home and recover from there, where she had her family around. She was still in pain and had to rest a lot.

Christmas was coming up, and in the Cohen's household, that meant Chrismukkah. Kelly watched in silence as Seth introduced Ryan to the whole Chrismukkah thing.

"So, what's it gonna be? You want your menorah, or a candy cane? Christmas or Hanukkah?

"Uh…?" Ryan said

" Ah! Don't worry about it buddy, because in this house, you don't have to choose. Allow me to introduce to you a little something that I like to call… Chrismukkah"

"Chrismukkah"

"That's right. It's the new holiday, Ryan, and it's sweeping the nation" Seth said excitedly.

Normally, Kelly would have laughed at her brother's silliness, but not now. She simply sat in the couch, listening, but she didn't seem to understand what they said.

At that moment, Sandy and Kirsten entered the house, carrying a Christmas tree.

"A little help, please" Sandy said and Ryan hurried to help him with the tree.

Seth, who was avoiding helping out, as usual, watched as Ryan and his father put the tree down on its usual spot. He started to clap his hands.

"That's great you guys. Awesome" he said and Kirsten smiled.

"It looks good, don't you think it looks great, Kelly?" she asked and turned to her daughter. Kirsten's smile faded as she saw Kelly sitting motionless on the couch, not have seemed to notice anything that was going on. Ever since she came home, there had been times when Kelly was like this, oblivious to what was going on around her, sometimes she had this pained expression on her face, sometimes even a tear could escape, but she didn't notice she was crying until someone shook her awake from her thoughts.

Everyone had gone quiet and watched as Kelly's hands began took shake and her mouth whispered the word "No" so low they barely heard it.

"Kelly" Kirsten said, a bit louder, but Kelly didn't hear her.

"NO" Kelly shouted and threw herself backwards on the couch, and when she landed with her back on the pillows, she felt the pain from her heart-shaped wound, and she screamed even more.

Seth and Kirsten stood frozen and watched with fear when Kelly cried and screamed on the couch. Sandy had been the first one to react; he had hurried to the couch and was now trying to help his daughter sit up. He was surprised when he felt her trying to kick him, and when he grabbed her arms, she screamed "Get off me! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!"

Sandy obeyed and backed off, terrified by her behaviour. Now Kirsten rushed forward, she kneeled on the floor next to the couch and started to talk to her, calm, comforting word.

"Kelly, listen to me sweetie. It's me, your mother. Can you just try to calm down a bit so we could talk?" Kirsten said in a soft voice, Kelly stared at her for a minute, then she buried her face in her hands and Kirsten heard her crying.

Seth, Ryan and Sandy was holding their breath as Kirsten slowly reached up and placed her hand on Kelly's arm, when she didn't react, Kirsten tried to talk to her again

"Kelly, Kelly please tell me what's going on" she tried her hardest to keep her voice steady.

Kelly suddenly stopped crying and turned her head and looked at her mother with surprise.

"Mom…what's going on? What did I do?" she asked, her voice steady and normal again.

Sandy frowned and slowly moved closer to the girls.

"Kelly?" he asked, he noticed his voice was shaking, he was afraid she was going to shout at him again. But she just looked up at him. She noticed he was hesitating and wanted to ask him why.

"Dad, what are you doing?" she asked and Sandy breathed out, glad she was herself again, but also worried, she didn't seem to remember anything what she had said and done.

"Kelly, what is going on with you?" Kirsten asked and Kelly looked past her mother, right at Ryan and Seth who was still standing a few feet away, then she looked at her mother.

"What do you mean?" Kelly tried to make it sound like she meant it, but her voice gave her up.

"Kelly, don't lie" Sandy said, he of course had seen right through her. She looked down and a few tears escaped once again.

"It's nothing, forget it" she said and got to her feet. When she tried to walk past him, Sandy grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Dad, let me go" her voice was calm, but there was a tint of anger in it and he understood that if he obeyed, she would go off on him again, so he let go of her arm and she continued up the stairs to her room.

Sandy shot a glare at his wife and then he turned to Seth and Ryan

"Boys, could you go out to the pool-house for a second?" he said and they didn't ask any questions, they just left.

Sandy turned to Kirsten and noticed the tears running down her cheeks. He hurried over to her and hugged her.

"Sandy, she's scaring me. What are we gonna do?" she sobbed into his chest and he ran his hands up and down her back, trying to figure out what to say.

"She scared me too" was all he could think of saying.

"What the hell is going on with her?" Kirsten said, quietly. She knew her daughter had been going through a rough time, but could that alone be the reason why she was acting this way?

"I don't know" Sandy answered and Kirsten looked up at him, reached up and kissed him.

They stood in each others arms, both thinking about what to do about Kelly.

Kelly wasn't in her room anymore, she was sitting in the stairs and looked at her parents, she couldn't tell them what was going on. She had told her parents she was going out on a walk yesterday, but in fact she had gone to a therapist. Kelly had asked her if she should tell her parents about her problems, and she had answered that she should tell them, she needed their support, but now Kelly didn't know if she wanted them to know. She needed professional help, not pity from her family, was her thoughts. She didn't know how much Sandy, Kirsten, Seth and Ryan would come to mean to her, she didn't know their love was the only thing that could save her from herself.
