Kris felt the words leaving his lips, but didn't register anything that was going on. He knew he would get terrible reviews tonight, but he didn't care. There were more important things to deal with. Like the fact that he was caught in between his wife, and the man whom he was in love with. Just thinking of that made Kris stumble over the lyrics to Ain't No Sunshine which he had sing hundreds of times and did not have extremely confusing lyrics. Kris stumbled his way through the rest of his set and Don't Stop Believing. He was careful to not make eye contact with Allison or Adam incase they has seen Katy. Kris mumbled out his thanks to the crowd, finished up the song and dashed backstage before anyone could get to him. As he sprinted back, he crashed into Katy.

"Katy! Sorry! I didn't see you!" Kris stuttered, placing his arms on Katy's waist so she wouldn't fall over.

"It's okay sweetie! You were…great tonight!" Katy said, clearly lying through her teeth.

"Yeah right," Kris snorted, "I sucked!" Katy placed her hand on his arm comfortingly.

"Hey we are all allowed a bad night, aren't we?" Katy said, encouragingly. Kris looked into Katy's soft, hazel eyes. Then something dawned on him. He couldn't tell Katy. He couldn't tell her he wanted to leave her and be with Adam. He might not love Katy the way he loved Adam, but he did love her. He loved her enough that he would do that to her. She had always supported him, always been a shoulder for him to lean on. She was the other part of him. When Kris couldn't fin his keys, Katy knew where they were. When Kris forgot his mother's birthday, Katy reminded him. Kris just wished he had realized earlier that he loved Katy more like a sister than a wife. But he had made that mistake and Katy meant enough to him that he wouldn't just leave her. He wanted to, he wanted to badly but he knew he would never be able to say the words to Katy. He owed her that much.

"Kris?" Katy asked.

"Oh yeah sorry, just tired" Kris mumbled. He placed his arms across Katy's shoulders and placed a small kiss on her cheek.

"Katy?" A broken voice called from behind them. Kris felt like his stomach plummet downwards, and a wave of guilt crash over his head, drowning him. Kris gasped quietly, trying to suck in some breathes.

"Adam!" Katy squealed joyfully, running over to place him a huge hug, "It's so good to see you again!"

"You…you too," Adam spluttered, looking directly at Kris with confusion, "What are you doing here? I thought we didn't get to see you for a couple of weeks!"

"Well I missed you guys so much I decided to come for a surprise visit!" Katy exclaimed happily.

"That's great!" Adam said, putting on his mask. Kris could see right through the mask though. Confusion, pain and betrayal burned in Adam's blue eyes. Kris felt a huge blow in his heart, seeing Adam hurt like that. It was so severe that Kris nearly opened his mouth to tell Katy, but then she turned around and her soft hazel hit Kris, like a punch in the gut. He knew no matter what he did he was going to hurt someone. But Katy looked so much more innocent, Kris had seen hurt in her eyes before, and it was something that tore him apart.

"Um Katy? Can I talk to Adam for a minute. It's just something about the last number. Why don't you got talk to Megan. She brought Ryder tonight." Kris mumbled to Katy. Excitement filled Katy's eyes. She loved kids, especially Ryder.

"Okay!" Katy exclaimed, she gave Kris a quick peck on the cheek, "See you later!" Katy walked away, and quickly joined Megan and Lil.

"Kris, what the fuck?" Adam hissed, "It sure doesn't look like you have split up with her! When are you going to?" Kris lowered his eyes and let the guilt engulf him.

"I…I can't do it Adam." Kris heard a sharp intake of breathe from Adam, "I love you, I want to be with you, but…Katy. Katy is the other half of me. I wish I realized earlier that I loved more like a sister than anything else but it's too late. I love enough that I can't hurt her."

"But you can hurt me," Adam responded. It wasn't a question, but a statement. There was no emotion, just understanding.
"No Adam, I…I don't want to hurt you!" Kris spluttered.

"I know you don't, but you are still going to," Adam's voice cracked and he turned on his heel and sprinted back to his dressing room before Kris could let out another word.

"What the hell was that?" An angry voice exclaimed from behind Kris. Kris spun around to see Allison's face inches from his.

"Allie – I" Kris spluttered.

"No Kris, just shut the fuck up! I can't believe you are big enough asshole to tell Adam you love him, then you freakin MAKE love to him and tell him you are leaving Katy, then you change you're effing mind?" Allie screeched.

"Allison!" Kris hissed!

"No! You are just a lying jerk aren't Kris?" Allison bellowed. Then Kris felt Allison's hand slap hard against his cheek, causing stars to appear in his eyes. Once the stars cleared, Kris saw Allison run into Adam's dressing room and slam the door shut.

"Kris…?" A soft voice, thick with tears called from behind him. Kris slowly turned around to see Katy standing there with tears filling her eyes.

"Is what…what Allison said…true? Did you cheat on me with Adam?" Katy croaked, a tear running quickly down her cheek.

"I…" Kris began, but realized Katy knew every time he was lying so there was no point defending himself, "Um…yeah," Katy pulled her hand up to her mouth as her face crumpled, and sob escaped her chest. She quickly spun around and dashed out the door. Kris' vision began to blur, but not enough that he didn't notice everyone backstage staring at him with the same look of shock and disgust on their faces. Kris opened his mouth to speak, but instead turned around fled out the door to the buses. Kris ran until reached the bus and yanked the door open. There he collapsed on the ground, not even bothering to make it to his bunk. Kris curled up and let the sobs pour out of his chest. He had screwed everything up. More than he thought it was possible for one person to screw up. He didn't think he could fix it this time.
