Sandy had woken up early the next morning; he hadn't been able to sleep well, because all he could think about was Kelly. On his way down to the kitchen he walked past his daughter's room, he got surprised to see that her door was slightly open, he was very sure that when he went to bed last night, it had been shut. He didn't hear anything from inside the room; he hesitated for a moment, before he pushed the door open and looked in. He got slightly shocked when he saw Kelly sitting on her bed, in the same clothes she had worn yesterday. She sat with her arms around her knees and rocked back and forth. But it was her expression that scared him the most, the same expression that had been on her face the day before. Her eyes were wide open and she stared into space, not noticing he was looking at her.

Sandy didn't know what to do, but when he finally took a few steps into her room, she turned her face towards him. Her eyes were no longer empty, they were full of hate. When she opened her mouth to speak, the ice-cold tone made Sandy froze in shock.

"Get out"

"Kelly…" he automatically took a step forward, something he immediately regretted.

"I SAID GET OUT! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!" she screamed and picked up a book and threw it at him, he ducked in the last minute, if he hadn't been that quick, it would have hit his head.

He stared at her, the fear in his eyes obvious. This wasn't the Kelly he knew, this wasn't the Kelly he had raised.

Sandy heard footsteps behind him and seconds later Kirsten showed up beside him.

"What is going on?" she asked and looked at Sandy before she looked at Kelly and jumped slightly at the sight of the angry expression she wore.

"She…she just…" Sandy stammered but didn't seem to be able to finish his sentence.

Kirsten looked at Kelly again and now she was leaning against the wall, crying.

She slowly walked over to the bed and sat down.

"Kelly sweetie" she said and stroked her hair as she spoke "You know you can talk to us, about whatever you want, okay? So can you please tell me what's going on, because your father and I are really scared"

"What the hell do you think I am?" Kelly thought, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

"What's going on? I thought I heard screaming…" Seth said in a yawn as he too entered the room. Sandy immediately put out his arm to stop Seth from entering the room further.

"I don't know" Sandy whispered to his son "Go back to bed, your mother and I will handle this"

Seth shot a glare at his sister and then turned around and walked out. He was worried, what the hell was going on with her?

Kelly was still crying against the wall and Kirsten was sitting next to her, still waiting for an answer.

"Kelly, can't you at least answer me?"

Kelly finally looked up, to her parents' surprise she wasn't crying anymore.

"It's nothing, I'm fine" she said, her voice was normal again, not cold or angry. She got up from her bed and stood up.

"Kelly…" Kirsten began but Kelly interrupted her.

"I said I was fine, mom" Kelly said and Kirsten was scared she would start to yell at her so she kept quiet.

"Go back to bed, I can take care of myself" she said and walked past her father and down to the kitchen.

Kirsten and Sandy looked at each other and he walked over and sat beside her on the bed.

"We have to do something" Kirsten said

"We can't do anything unless we now what's causing this" Sandy replied and looked at his wife.

"It's just…she was gone for six months, and when she finally came back it was this Logan thing, and now when it's over, she becomes like this. I want her to be like she used to be" Kirsten continued and leaned against her husband. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and sighed.

Down in the kitchen Kelly poured a cup of coffee to herself and sat down at the kitchen island. She had an appointment with her therapist in a few hours. She checked the watch. 5.26 am. Since it was Friday, everyone would be up soon, getting ready for work/school. She would be staying home today too. It was only a few days left on the semester until Christmas holiday, so she would go when the next semester started instead, she needed the rest.

She felt herself slipping away again, she tried to fight it, tried to stay herself, but it was almost impossible, the pain was so overwhelming and frightening. But Ryan came to her rescue, he simply open the door just before she lost herself, said her name just before she was about to forget it, touched her shoulder just before she was about to chance.

"Ryan…" she whispered.

"Good morning, you're up early" he said and she just nodded.

"What are you doing up at this hour?" she asked him, just trying to keep sane.

"I couldn't sleep, and then I got hungry" he explained as he looked in the fridge.

"Okay. What will happen at school today? No homework's or tests?" she asked just to have something to say. Ryan looked at her for a second before he answered.

"No, nothing special today. Why are you wondering?"

"No reason."

"By the way, Summer and Marissa misses you" he added and sat down beside her with a bowl of cereal.

They continued to chat until Sandy entered the kitchen at 6.30 am.

"Hey guys" he said and grabbed a cup of coffee.

"Hey dad" Kelly said

"Kelly, your mum's thinking about staying home with you today, thought you might want some company"

"What? No, it's ok, really, she should go to work, I bet she has a lot of thinks to do" Kelly said, trying to push away the panic.

"Are you sure? Because if you want she could…"

"No, dad, seriously, I can take care of myself. Tell her I don't need her to stay home for me"

"Are you really sure you don't want me to stay home today?" they heard Kirsten say from the doorway. Kelly looked up and watched her mother walking into the kitchen.

"Yes mom, go to work, please" Kelly begged until Kirsten said "Ok, fine, I'll go. But I will call you as often as I can, okay?"

"Sure, but if I don't pick up I will probably be asleep" Kelly lied, she wasn't very tired at all, but she couldn't tell the truth.

Seth came into the kitchen, Sandy left for work, he promised he would be home as early as he could, Marissa popped in to pick up Seth and Ryan and she also said hello to Kelly.

"If you need anything, don't hesitate to call, okay?" Kirsten said and Kelly nodded.

"I know mom" she said and Kirsten bent down to kiss her daughter's cheek.

"Ok, I love you, honey. See you later" Kirsten said and left the house.

Alone, finally. She checked the watch, 8.14. She had to hurry. She ran up the stairs and chanced clothes and then she grabbed her bike and took off towards the therapist's office.
