Authors Note: Hey sorry I had a big science project due today and I was really stressed so it continues…
No it couldn't be. The Chris she had called her first love, the Chris that left her here to go to Chicago. He was the reason why she had some many walls built up that had taken Ryan years to break down. Now she felt them gradually start to rebuild, and she needed to leave. She needed to get out of there, to breathe again.
During her little inner monologue Chris was calling her name. After the fourth time he got through.
"What?" she answered still lost in thought.
"I said 'are you surprised to see me?"
Everything in her told her to tell him the truth, to scream no at the top of her lungs. Ryan had only left about 5 minutes ago but she missed the feel of his hand on the small of her back.
"Of course I am" she lied.
Lying was something she had gotten good at right after he had left.
"So..." she started hesitantly. "what are you doing here?" slightly tilting her head to the left.
"I came to see you silly" he said using the same laugh that used to make her knees go weak, now all it made her want to do was punch him or vomit maybe both.
Suddenly she felt her heart stop. His footsteps she could hear them a mile away except they were only about 10 feet away and closing in. Soon he was at the door.
"Okay, the blood sample Eric found in the basement matches the one I found…" Ryan's voice trailed off when he saw she wasn't alone.
"Hey, Ryan this is my friend Chris Maluchi, Chris this is Ryan he's"
"I'm her fiancé" Ryan stated cutting her off, walking over and grabbing her hand.
She felt like saying 'that wasn't what I was going to say' but bit her tongue knowing it was only going to further bring out Ryan's jealous side.
'Great could this day get any worse!' she screamed inside her head. Calleigh felt Ryan relax and only then did she realize that the men in the room were talking and she had just heard a string of words that made her heart stop.
'I'm seriously going to die of a heart attack by the end of the day.' Could this day get any worse! Suddenly she heard voices yelling down the hall. What were they saying? Oh crap
