A/N: Is there medicine for being a procrastinator because I really need it. So I apologize for taking so long to update and I will try to get the next one out sooner.
A knock on her door drew her out of he daze she was in. The funeral was in two days and she had yet to go out a buy another black outfit. Wearing the one she wore to Speed's funeral was out of the question so she invited Chris over. She knew she should have asked Ryan but after his blowup in the hospital room he had become closed off and distant, never looking you straight in the eye and when he would touch someone by accident he would react as if your touch burned. On a level she understood but pretending like she wasn't hurting was a lot better than what Ryan was doing.
"Hi" she greeted Chris, grabbed her coat, and wrote a note to Ryan.
He was out at the grocery store, and then he was going to stop by the cleaners to get the tux he was wearing to the funeral. She would probably get back before he got home, considering he liked to stop at the beach but she didn't want him to get worried if he did happen to get back first.
She didn't say another word till they got to lunch.
"Thank-you for… well you know… taking me" she stumbled over her words.
"Oh, don't worry about it Cal, I'm just surprised that Ryan wasn't willing to bring you." He took a sip of water and looked expectantly at her waiting for a response.
"Yea, he's just dealing differently, him and Eric were finally getting along.
"Oh, so when did you two meet?"
The waitress came then with their food and Calleigh waited till she left to answer.
"Awhile ago, he was always there you know."
For some unknown reason Calleigh was getting a weird vibe off Chris when she talked about Ryan almost like hate, so she changed the subject.
"So are you dating anyone?" she asked taking a sip of her lemonade.
"No, Calleigh can I be honest with you?"
"Of course Chris you can tell me anything" she shifted in her seat suddenly uncomfortable.
"When I came here and found out you are with someone I got extremely jealous. I still am. I don't think he's good for you. I mean you dyed your hair and I'm guessing it was because of him." He looked at her for approval to his statement.
It's true she had dyed her hair for him but it was for a good reason.
"Yea I did it for him but it was more for my protection than anything else. A couple of months ago I took an undercover job and Ryan convinced me to dye my hair instead of wear a wig, he just wanted me to stay safe."
"Still Calleigh, I mean your friend just died and where is he… not talking to you I know that for a fact."
She stiffened slightly at the mention of Eric and Natalia but he didn't seem to notice and continued on his rant.
"I came here in the hopes that we could get together. We were good together, and I was stupid to leave. I can't be your friend, you either pick me or I leave.
With that he stood up, dropped a few dollars on the table and walked out, leaving a shocked and confused Calleigh in his wake.
A/N: ok so that chapter gave Calleigh an ultimatum she could leave Ryan for Chris who is planning to kill Ryan anyway or stay with Chris and lose Ryan looks like Ryan dies either way. I'm going to ask your opinion for this because your decision will change everything should I kill off Ryan and have Calleigh find out later (there will be a later) or should she find out before and save him? Tell me and ill take it into consideration.
