You've got a friend in me

A/N- So I had some free time today and that results in another update! Thanks for all your wonderful reviews!

Standing in the kitchen trying to calm his nerves he drank his glass of water and filled up another glass. She hadn't said anything but the look on her face was still engrained in his mind. His hand shook and the glass tumbled from it and shattered on the floor. Sighing, he picked up the shattered pieces and placed them in the trash. She had gotten up and walked away from him, and he knew he should probably look for her, make sure she was OK.

He wasn't sure where she had went, but he had heard a door upstairs slam shut. Slowly walking up the stairs he noticed that the only door closed was the bathroom door. He lightly knocked on the door, but got no response. Trying the doorknob, he realized it was locked. Sighing he knew what he had to do and he picked up his phone.

She could hear her phone ringing in the other room, and she momentarily wondered if she should ignore it. Looking at the caller ID, she answered.

She was surprised by what he was asking, and even more surprised that she was agreeing to it. Five minutes later she was in her car driving faster than she probably should have been.

She could hear a dull pounding on the door like someone was trying to break in. Rubbing the back of her neck with frustration and stress she slowly picked herself up off the floor. Looking in the mirror she wiped the tears from her cheeks and tried to rub the tear stains off of her face. Kris tried to ignore the tingling sensation that lingered in her legs as she slowly massaged her red eyes straining to clear her vision. Leaning on the counter she splashed cold water onto her face and slowly turned away from the sink.

She thought about how she was going to face Matt after the way she had treated him earlier. How could she explain the thoughts that were currently racing through her mind? She didn't even think she could speak them aloud. She needed time to think. Sitting trapped in a bathroom, in the dark was not going to help her. Walking over to the door she slowly unlocked it and took a deep breath before turning the knob.

There were a few people setting against the wall around the door and she saw their heads jerk up when the door opened. She couldn't help but notice that more than one of them looked relieved. She turned her head to the side and took a quick peek at Matt. He looked miserable and her brain was screaming at her that it was her fault. She brushed away her irrational thoughts and looked at the other two people sitting on the floor. What were they doing there?

Dani stood up and to her surprise pulled her into a hug. She could see Pablo and Matt standing behind Dani, watching them carefully. As she pulled away from Dani she could feel Pablo's hand on her back pulling her into a hug. It had been quite a while since she had seen him and she was surprised that he was there. Looking questioningly at him, he seemed to know what she was thinking.

"Matt called Dani, and I saw her rushing out of the house. I asked her what was going on and she filled me in on the way here. You ok?"

She felt her head nodding slowly, she knew she was lying to them and herself, but she didn't care. She could tell that they were concerned about her but all she really wanted to do at that moment was run. She knew that she needed to talk to Dani, to get the rest of the details about what had happened, but there was something she needed to do first.

"I think I'm going to go for a drive to clear my head." She whispered. She could see them nodding, as they started to follow her down to the car.

She looked back at them and realized that they were planning to go with her. She stopped in the living room and quietly told them that she would be back shortly. The surprise on their faces made her question if it was the right move, but as she walked to the driveway and hopped into her car the silence felt welcoming.

She found herself driving and not knowing where she was going. Everything looked similar but she couldn't pin point her destination. She felt tears sliding down her cheeks as she listened to the silence in the car. The picture of Junior's face was burnt in her memory and she tried to shake it from her mind. Her body began to heave for oxygen and she found herself slamming on the breaks. She jumped out of the car and stood in the middle of the road gasping for air. She looked around at the field that stood in front of her and she suddenly realized where she was.

She slowly made her way to the tombstone she had avoided for so long.
