AN: Disclaimer in earlier chapters. I own Chris and a few other OCs.

And for those of you who noticed the cross-over congrats. I love Law and Order SVU and couldn't resist throwing it in there. It adds some humor.

But alas...I own neither SVU or Criminal minds.

*sigh*

Hope you enjoy! =D

CHAPTER 22

"The hell?" Chris asked getting up and going to the door just as JJ and Emily came down with their guns in hand.

"Chris, get back." Emily said touching Chris' arms and Chris went back over to Carrie. Chris reached under the couch and produced a paint ball gun. She made sure it was loaded and the pressure can was full. (A/N:I know nothing about paintball guns)

Emily looked through the peep hole and furrowed her brow. "It's Jenna?" She said as Chris aimed the paintball gun.

"Open it." She said as Emily glared.

"Chris." Carrie gave her a look.

"Fine." Chris huffed lowering the gun but still hand her finger on the trigger as the banging continued.

Emily turned the dead bolt and unlocked the door opening it.

"What are you doing here?" Emily asked as Jenna stumbled in with a beer bottle in hand.

"Oh god she's drunk." Chris scowled then raised the paintball gun up to fire but a look from Carrie stopped her. "Not like she'll remember what happened." Chris scoffed.

"I you back!" Jenna slurred stumbling over to Emily hanging off her.

"You can't always get what you want Jenna." Emily said. "I've asked you to leave before. If you keep coming back I'll report this." Emily said.

"Why? You love me and I love you!" Jenna shouted pointing at Emily and Chris raised the paintball gun but Carrie took it from her.

"Excuse me?" JJ asked gripping her gun as Jenna clung to Emily.

"You heard me! I'm better than you! Has she given you a ring?" Jenna boasted lifting her left hand up and Emily cringed seeing it.

"She gave me a family." JJ said. "She gave me what she took from you. Her." JJ said calmly putting lowering her gun and hand to her side That was a mistake as rage flew over Jenna's face as she charged at JJ but Chris grabbed the paintball gun and threw it to her feet tripping her and she went down hitting her head on the back of the couch as she went.

Emily knelt down and looked her over. "She's knocked out." Emily said as Chris hid the paintball gun under the couch out of sight.

"I thought you were gonna shoot her." Carrie let out as Chris shook her head.

"It was on safety." Chris shrugged.

"Emily?"

They looked up to see their neighbor from across the hall.

"Hello Mrs. Cunnings." Emily smiled.

"I called the cops is everything ok?" the elderly woman asked.

"Yes, she's my ex, Jenna? She barged in drunk and yelling." Emily said placing her gun on the side table.

"I don't know what you saw in her." JJ sighed shaking her head and two uniformed cops came in.

"Is everything ok? We got a call." The first one said.

"Yes, she came in drunk and tripped when he lunged at my girlfriend and hit her head on the back of the couch." Emily explained as the cops nodded and eyed the guns. "We're FBI; I can get my credentials if you like."

"Please do so ma'am."

"Excuse me a moment." Emily went upstairs and came back holding both agents' credentials and handed them to the officers.

"Ok, it's just procedure." He said with a soft smile as he crinkled his nose. "She reeks. Let's get her out of here." The first officer said as his partner nodded.

They took statements and took Jenna to a hospital to get her head looked over and cuffed her to a bed waiting for her to wake up.

"Well that was eventful." Chris said yawning.

"Yeah." JJ sighed.

"Time for bed, come on, you two have school in four hours." Emily said as Chris and Carrie groaned but headed upstairs anyway.

It was Tuesday now and Shay was back after her parents made her stay home bored an extra few days as part of her grounding and the excitement for formal was going all around.

Shay walked up to Chris second period before the final bell rang and tapped her shoulder. "I wanted to say sorry about the other week. It was out of line and none of my business." Shay said looking at the floor.

"You're right. It was out of line and it's none of your business." Shay flinched. "But I'll forgive you." Shay smiled. "You just have to apologize to Carrie first and mean it." Chris said as Shay sat down dejected.

At lunch Carrie sat down after the others and looked at Chris. "What did you do?" She asked Chris who raised an eyebrow confused. "Shay apologized to me."

"Oh, she apologized to me and told her I would forgive her when you did." Chris said taking a bite out of her food.

"Just like that?" Carrie asked as Chris nodded.

"Shay's a good person when she isn't a jealous bitch. Give her a chance Carrie." Chris said as Carrie glared and Tara, Devin and Damian got up.

"We're gonna go." Devin said.

"It was nice knowing you Chris." Tara said as Damian nodded and they tossed their trash and left.

"What now?" Chris asked pushing her food away.

"After what she did and said you're ready to forgive her?" Carrie asked.

"I try not to hold grudges." Chris said.

"I hate her, Chris, what part of that do you not understand?" Carrie asked as Chris tossed the leftovers away.

"You only know one part of her, how can you say that?" Chris asked as Carrie scoffed and stormed away. "Damn it!" Chris cursed. "Me and my stupid mouth." She berated herself. She headed to her locker and put the combo in and reached in pulling the small velvet box out. She glared at it and shoved it into her bag. She slammed the locker shut and headed to the one place she knew she would be left alone.

"Hey kiddo." Jim Wagner said walking into the booth of the school theater.

"Hey Jim." He didn't like going by a last name basis with his students, he wanted to be an equal but still be seen as a teacher.

"What's up?" He asked seeing the look on her face.

"I screwed up again." Chris shrugged placing her pencil down.

"How so?" Jim asked.

"You know Shay's back and Carrie and I have a trying relationship and we aren't really together and she hates bringing Shay up. It makes her insecure as if I'm gonna leave her and Shay apologized for what happened at lunch that week and I told her I'd accept it when Carrie did and Carrie isn't ready to forgive her and she got mad at me when we talked about it at lunch." Chris rambled.

"Sounds to me like she has a right to be mad at you." Jim said taking a seat across from her at the long rectangular table in the middle of the room. "I heard about the fight, and I as well as all the other teachers have been informed about her situation. She has a right to be mad."

"I know, but I hate holding grudges, they suck and only make you hate yourself. Because by the time you realize a lot of good could have come from forgiving that person, it's too late." Chris said.

"And by that you would mean your parents?" Jim asked as Chris nodded.

"Yes."

"Give her time and space. She'll come through, but she has a right to be mad at you." Jim said the last part quickly as a reminder and Chris nodded.

The next few days were the same. Carrie ignored Chris and refused to talk to her unless she had to and the two were sleeping in separate beds. Emily and JJ tried to ask what was going on but both teenagers shut them out.

Finally it was Friday and the night of the fall formal. JJ and Emily were spending the day at JJ's place tidying the place and were going to stay the night. But Garcia was there to take many pictures.

"Carrie, I'm sorry, ok? You have every right to be mad at me. Forgive but don't forget." Chris said as she stepped out in the black dress. It was a spaghetti strap and the skirt part hang loosely on her hips stopping halfway on her calf.

"Chris, just leave me alone right now." Carrie said as Chris sighed.

"Fine, I'll be in the car." Chris said grabbing her keys.

"No luck?" Tara asked as she met Chris by the stage.

"None." Chris sighed. "Even Damian has a date and Devin our resident man-whore." Chris sighed.

"I'm here alone." Tara smiled as Chris kissed her cheek.

"But you're also my best friend and Garret Wheeler from Water polo has been making eyes at you since he got here." Chris smiled and gave her friend a gentle push. "Go. I'll be fine." Chris said as Tara gave a small squeal and walked over. Chris smiled at her friend and spotted Carrie dancing with one of the guys from the Rugby team.

"Hey." Chris turned to see Shay.

"Hey." Chris said swallowing hard.

"She hates me huh?" Shay asked looking over at Carrie and Chris followed her gaze and sighed with a nod. "I figured as much." Shay sighed. "You wanna dance?" Shay asked as Chris shrugged.

"Why not?"

They walked onto the dance floor and the whole way Carrie was burning holes in Shay's back. She was unaware however of the other set.

Carrie felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see a well built handsome guy with alluring green eyes, sand blonde hair and gorgeous smile.

"Mind if I cut in?"

Carrie was entranced. She managed a nod. "Sure."

Who does this guy think he is?

Review please. =D
