Once she got over Bruno things started to look up for Kerry. Her and Kyle had a bit of a rough patch but they got back together and are pretty serious. It took her a while but she eventually figured out how she really felt about him. They decided to keep their relationship low key around Bridget and Cate, but they were very happy.

Kerry figured she had a good guy that wouldn't hurt her in Kyle, especially after how nice he was to her under the stands after her sexual exploits had been broadcast to the entire school by her mom via the intercom. That was one of the worst days of her young life and he had supported her unconditionally, wanting nothing in return.

After a while she started to believe that she'd never see Bruno again until she received a very interesting email one Saturday afternoon. All it said was

'Hi.

I won't be offended if you never want to talk to me again but I'm coming to Michigan in 2 weeks and I'd really like to see you again. I'm so sorry for how i let things turn out. I can only hope you'll let me apologise in person

Bruno'

This really was an emotional kick in the gut for Kerry. No word from the guy in nearly five months and now he wants to meet? All the memories of that night came flooding back to her on reading this simple note. He probably had a good reason right?

Her heart was pounding as she replied

Hi

Yes you did hurt me but you know me well enough to know that I don't hold grudges. I would like to meet. Where are you staying while you're over here? We'll work something out.

Kerry x

As she finished writing the reply she got up from her desk to grab a glass of water. She heard her AIM account pick up an unidentified message from Brunodeparis that simply said

Brunodeparis says: 'Kerry?'

Wow. Five whole months of nothing and here he was on AIM. Nervously she started to talk to him and after a few minutes it was like old times again. The ease of the conversation, they way he made her feel comfortable in herself and understood was all there again.

They talked for hours and the subject came to where he would be staying while in the States. Tentatively she said

Carebear52 says: 'you could stay here for a few days if you like."

And he accepted.

The next few weeks of waiting for his arrival were weird. Kyle seemed less interesting to her and she spent as much time as she could talking to Bruno on AIM but how was she gonna react when she saw him again?

The days passed and he arrived. She was so confused. Talking to Bridget she summed up the situation

"Well seeing him is good. And later it could be really really good."

But thankfully Bridget could see right through Bruno. She'd been there through weeks and weeks of Kerry's crying and wasn't about to let this jerk hurt her again.

Because of all the confusion Kerry felt it would be better if he didn't stay at her place and Bruno showed his true colors as he left saying,

"I'll call ya"

Bridget called him on this, asking him to prove he had Kerry's number and when he couldn't Kerry saw for herself what an asshole he really was.

At least She now had some Closure. The Bruno saga was over but a new drama was about to start……………
