~Chapter 17~
That night not much was said between anyone in the house, Brian had not
told anyone in the house that he had found Kristy. He decided it would be
less controversial if he kept it to himself. Everybody used that night to
clear their head. Kevin thought about why he was doing what he was doing,
Nick was thinking about Pamela who was back in Florida, Brian, Howie and AJ
thought about Kristy and She thought about everything. For the first time in
a while everybody got a good sleep. At 5 o' clock Brian woke up and took a
shower, then ith a whistle and a smile made his way next door.

A sweet aroma filled the house and flowed its way into Kristy's room. In a
swift motion she tossed off the sheets and went downstairs. She reached the
kitchen and gasped. Never in her life did she expect to wake up to the love
of her life cooking her breakfast.
"Brian?" she spoke and he noticed her presence. "I love you so much".
"The feeling is mutual babe" his voice rang out cheerily. He strolled
over to her and gave her a short but passionate kiss on the lips. Then
continued cooking. Kristy began to set the table but was soon stopped. "No,
this is your morning, I will do it" he said grabbing the plates from her
hand. He set the table and then served her a home cooked breakfast. She
laughed as he presented her with the smiley face plate of eggs and bacon,
then again when he gave her a glass of blue orange juice. When she was little
she always put blue food coloring in her OJ. They ate their meal in silence,
basking in each ther's presence fearing that words would ruin the morning.
After they ate Brian washed the dishes and cleared the table while Kristy
got dressed. When she returned downstairs Brian was sleeping on the couch.
Not wanting to wake him she thought now would be the perfect time to make her
presence known to the rest of the guys.
She sneaked over to the house next-door so no one saw her out of a
window, then rang the door-bell. The door soon swung open with Howie's warm
smile on the other side.
"Hey D" she smiled.
"Oh my God, Kristy." He pulled her into a tight hug. "We all missed you
so much, everyone has been at each others throats since you left us" he
explained.
"I missed you too" she said as he released her from his arms. "Why has
everyone been fighting?"
"Well everyone hates Kevin right now, Nick and Pamela have been distant,
AJ hasn't talked to anyone, Brian has been moping around, and I have been
trying to get everyone back to their old selves, but that is something that I
guess only you can do. How do you put up with us? We are a bunch of pains in
the asses?" he asked.
"Trust me, it is quite a challenge sometimes, but I love you all so that
makes it easier." She laughed.
"Hey Howie, who is it?" AJ asked coming from the other room. "K, oh my
god" he rushed over to hug her. "Where have you been?"
"I live next door" she laughed. He got a strange look on his face but
then just stood there like he wanted an explanation for something.
"What?" she asked.
"Why did you leave?"
"I had to AJ, I couldn't handle it any more"
She spent the rest of the day talking to the guys who suddenly had so
much to say to each other after a few days of silence. Everything was going
great until that night….
