CHAPTER 11

"We have a date once the stitches come out." JJ beamed as the others let out relieved breaths then let her have it.

"How could you!" Garcia cried. "We really thought you broke Emily's heart."

"I was this close to messing with something on your car." Chris said showing them a small gap with her thumb and index finger.

"That was messed up." Carrie said simply.

"I have to agree." Hotch spoke up as the others nodded.

"I really don't find that funny JJ." Morgan said.

Two days later they were all boarding the plane back to Quantico.

Carrie and Chris had to start school the next day and the others had work. So they all went to sleep once they got back. JJ stayed the night with Emily. Haley was glad to have her son back and to see that Hotch was ok.

When they arrived home it was around noon so Carrie, Emily, Chris and JJ went straight to sleep.

It was different for Emily. A great different at least. She loved having JJ beside her and in her arms.

Carrie and Chris climbed into their beds and Chris turned on a movie.

"Where were they the last time you had them?" JJ asked looking under the couch cushion.

"I was packing and tossed them on the nearest surface." Chris said looking around the side table.

Carrie rolled her eyes. "Try and think. "Carrie said as they checked the time. They had ten minutes before having to get out and to school

"Ok, you both are gonna be late, grab your things, I'll drive you." JJ said heading upstairs.

"Any luck finding Chris' keys?" Emily asked as JJ kissed her cheek.

"None, I'll be back, I'm going to go drop them off." JJ said as Emily nodded and gave her a chaste kiss.

"Hurry back."

"I will." JJ smiled walking out.

"Thanks for the ride JJ." Chris said as she and Carrie got out.

"No problem, what time should I be back?"

"Around three thirty works JJ."

"No practice?" JJ asked.

"None till after the fall formal in two weeks." Chris said as JJ nodded and drove off.

"Who was that hot blonde?"

Chris and Carrie turned to see Tara with two identical guys.

"Carrie, you remember Tara, this is Devin and Damian, you met Damian briefly in Denver, this is his twin brother." Chris introduced.

Devin and Damian had green eyes and dark hair and athletic builds. Devin was taller than Damian by an inch however.

"Nice to meet you." Carrie smiled.

"Now let's go, I expect you guys to look after her when I'm not around." Chris said as they nodded.

They got her schedule and brought Carrie to her locker.

"Mine is right down there and Tara is down that way with the twins." Chris said pointing to nearby lockers.

"Ok." Carrie said putting the combination in and opened the locker.

The day went without hitch till lunch.

Tara was walking with Carrie to the table they usually sat at and found the twins already there.

"Where's Chris?" Tara asked as she and Carrie sat down.

"She's probably in the band room." Devin shrugged.

"She has band before lunch, she usually hangs back to clean up." Damian clarifies as Carrie nods.

Devin looks up towards the cafeteria doors and drops his jaw.

"What?" Damian asked looking up in the direction his twin was. "Oh Christ."

Tara turned in her seat and gasped. "Shit!"

"What?" Carrie asked turning. "Who is she?" Carrie asked. The girl was brunette, tall, brown eyed and slim figured.

"Shay Carter, after Lindsey and Chris broke up two months before she graduated, Chris met Shay, they were our Romeo and Juliet, but just like them they ended in tragedy." Damian began.

"Cut the dramatics!" Tara scoffed. "Halfway through summer vacation Shay broke it off out of nowhere, Chris was a zombie after that only going out when dragged, she was thin enough to pass as one."

"The point of the matter is that when Shay left she took a big piece of Chris, and since school started we've been trying to get her back." Devin said.

"But it wasn't till our road trip that she was herself again." Damian said smiling at Carrie.

"Why are you looking at me?" Carrie asked.

"Because it wasn't until we found you that she was herself." Damian said.

"What do you mean?" Carrie asked.

"When we found you she quickly averted crashing into you but at the same time purposely slid to make sure you were ok, she would have just left you in the hospital but she stayed because you asked, she didn't give you an excuse why, she just stayed."

"Was it that bad? "Carrie asked as they nodded.

"Shay messed our girl up." Devin sighed.

"What is she doing back though?" Tara asked.

"Who knows, but Chris is still hooked." Damian sighed as Chris plopped into the seat next to Carrie before banging her head on the table.

"I take it you know?" Tara asked as Chris nodded.

"I walked into second and she was right there sitting in the desk right next to mine." Chris groaned as Carrie patted her shoulder and rubbed her back.

"Do you know why she's back?" Damian asked.

"Her dad came back to her mom and they wanted to be where they were a perfect family." Chris grumbled banging her head once again.

"Chris, you're gonna bruise your head, stop." Carrie said as Chris sighed and sat up.

"Fuck my life." Chris groaned rubbing her temples but was focusing on the comforting touch of Carrie's hand on her back.

"Shit!" Devin said. "She's coming over."

Chris went to make a break for it. But it was too late.

"Hey Chris."

Chris put on a smile and looked at Shay. "Hey, how are you?" Chris asked.

"Good, can we talk?"

"You can say what need in front of them." Chris said.

Shay almost missed what she said because her eyes were on Carrie's hand. "I'd rather say it in private."

"Shay, I tell them everything regardless." Chris said feeling just as shocked as her friends looked. She was standing up against her instead of falling right back into routine with Shay.

"Ok, I'm sorry."

"For?" Chris asked.

"How I ended things." Shay began. "I didn't want to."

"Then why did you?" Chris asked.

"I was scared; can we please talk about this somewhere else?"

"No." Where was all this coming from? Chris wondered unbeknownst to her that her friends and Carrie were thinking the same thing.

"Can we at least go out for dinner or lunch?" Shay asked.

Chris sighed. "Sure." She slapped and kicked herself mentally. She was telling herself no.

Carrie stopped her movements and brought her hand down to her lap.

Chris instantly missed the feeling and tensed back up.

"Great." Shay smiled. "Are you free now?"

Chris shook her head. "I don't have my car, I lost my keys." Chris said.

"I got mine." Shay said as Chris nodded.

"I'll be back after lunch." Chris said hugging Carrie and waving to the other three.

"What the hell?" Tara asked.

"She was doing so well." Devin huffed.

"It's Shay, once she put on the puppy dog eyes Chris was a goner."

Chris got into the passenger seat of the similar Impala and sighed. "So?"

Shay turned in her seat and cupped Chris' face smashing their lips together.


I know what you are all thinking or possibly saying to yourself. "HOLY SHIT!" Or "How could she do that to Carrie?"
