and is an emo girl who lost both of her parents. I hope my cousin is finally happy.

"Don't you see Veronica. He has moved on."

"Then maybe it is best that i do as well."

"It's good that you see it that way."

"Alright, look, im going back to  my house to catch some sleep. Talk to you later."

Veronica turns and walks out the door. Alica sighs looking down at the last paragraph that she had neglected to read to her sister. She puts the letter away and calls Jacobine, hopefully Stephen knew to protect his mate from his ex.

At home Veronica packs her stuff quickly and leaves the town. If Stephen had a mate, the only way to fix the problem is to kill her. She smiles as she she drives down the road heading to where Stephen now lived. It was only across the country.

Krissy Goes Back To School

Krissy groans as she hits her alarm clock and gets out of bed. It had been almost two months since she had been in school and today was her first day back. She quickly gets dressed and heads down to grab her breakfast and hop in the truck. Nelson hugs her goodbye when he drops her off and she walks into school.

Once inside the cafeteria she sits down with Daneil, Matt, Victoria, Stevie, Elliot, Kayn, Elaine, and Amanda. The group quickly launches into a discussion about what has been going on at school and the swim team tryouts.

"So they're today after school?"

"Yeah. Coach said everyone who wants to try out is welcome. Do you think you'll be allowed to?" Elaine asks.

"Oh yea. Stitches are all healed up."

"Will Stephen let you?" Jasper asks sitting down.

"Yes. It's my choice not his."

"Alright." Jasper says holding his hands up in a defensive position.

"I just need to call Nelson and ask him to bring me a swimsuit."

"What about Celeste?"

"She wouldn't no where to look or bring it if she did."

"Oh yea."

Krissy pulls out her phone and calls waiting for her stepdad to answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey dad it's Krissy."

"What did you forget?"

"Hey! I'm not that bad."

"Oh sure."

"Swim tryouts are today after school and I need a suit."

"Will the black bikini you bought be alright?"

"Yea. What about my black one that has the piece between the top and bottom the one that covers the center of my stomach?"

"I'll see if I can find it."

"Thanks."

"Bye."

He hangs up and Krissy smiles before texting back Stephen and putting away her phone. She knew he wasn't going to let her participate in Gym and was kind of bumbed out that Courtney and some of her lackeys were now in that class. The bell rings and she smiles heading to the said class with Matt, Daniel, Jasper, and Elaine.

She gets changed and walks to her normal spot on the floor to see her name gone and replaced with another. Actually, her name isn't anywhere so she just walks over and stands next to Daniel and Jasper confused.

"You were out so long and he got new students that he had to move your x. You wont be doing the stretches anyway."

"He didn't have to remove my x." She pouts.

"Chin up. Go sit in his chair."

"What an excellent idea."

She smiles and turns and walks away to sit in the rolly chair Stephen had at the front of the building. She rolls herself around the front slowly and lazily before the bell rings for class to start.

"What do you think you're doing in Mr. Farrelly's chair?" Courtney snaps sharply from her place.

"I don't seem to have an x."

Courtney doesn't respond as Stephen walks out of the office. He is looking at his clip board and checking off names as he goes before stopping infront of her.

"Would you like me to sit on you or would you like to move?" He asks her slightly teasing.

She rolls her eyes and stands up letting him have his chair. He smirks and grabs a roll of duct tape out of his pocket and a sharpie. He puts a strip of tape on the back of the chair and writes Farrelly on it.

"There, you can have a spot."

She smiles not caring that he put his name and sits down. He finishes roll and starts the group off on stretches before moving another chair next to her.

"How did you sleep?"

"Good. Getting up was a pain."

"I can imagine."

"You put your name on the chair."

"I know. But technically it will be your name soon."

"How soon?"

"When we decide on a date."

"When I get a ring mister."

"I have a ring, I just haven't found the right time to give it to you."

"Can I have it?"

"Yes."

"Now?"

"Let me give it to you in the next class."

"Alright."

"Excuse me, I have to get to work."

He gets up and helps the group get started on the set up of the volley ball net and gets out the ball. Krissy gets up and walks over to the line for teams. He starts down the line picking members for each team and skips over her.

"Sheamus you forgot Krissy." Matt calls to him.

"I did it purposely."

"Stephen let me play."

"Krissy you are still not healthy enough."

"Stephen the stitches are all healed."

"Fine. Any sign of pain and you're out."

"Alright."

"This team."

"Thanks."

Krissy takes her place as the first server for her team and serves a nice serve to the other team before stepping into her position. The game goes on for a few minutes before she is finally rotated to the front and sadly right next to Courtney. The ball comes from the other team and she jumps up to spike it when courtney slams an elbow to her stomach. She gasps in pain but hits the ball back over. Stephen blows his whistle and calls Krissy out of the game.

"Are you alright?" He asks watching the game with little interest.

"Fine. That kind of hurt."

"It is bound to, it isn't completely healed."

"Very close though."

"True."

"Come on here."

He pulls out a ring from his pocket and slips it onto her finger. The white gold ring fits perfectly and the large diamond glints in the light. The little opal accents fit nicely and she smiles down at the ring with pride. She was his fiance and nothing would change that.

Lunch Time Blues

Krissy sits in Stephens room eating lunch that he had bought for them and plays with her ring slightly.

"If you keep playing with it im going to take it back."

"What?" She gasps looking at him horrified.

"Joking."

"Good."

She reaches over and grabs his hand before putting another chunk of steak in her mouth. She smiles at him as he eats some rice and then they look at the clock. Ten more minutes until the bell.

"How are the scars?"

"They are scars."

"They are not and you know it."

"So."

"So tell me."

"They're getting there. They still have a bit of healing up to do but they are close to closed up."

"Where is already scarred?"

"The top part and the bottom. Mainly its just right across the rib cage that is healed fully into a scar the parts that are still scabbed over are mainly across the stomach."

"Alright."

"I'm trying out for the swim team."

"Are you now?"

"Yes."

"No you aren't."

"Stephen yes I am."

"Krissy, you need to wait."

"No. This is what I want to do and you aren't going to tell me I cant."

"Fine. But I'm going with you."

"When do you not?"

"Would you like me not to?" He asks slightly hurt by her words.

"It's not that. I didn't mean it that way."

"Krissy are you alright?"

"Yeah just fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

He picks up his plate and hers before walking to the trash can. He drops the empty plates into the trash before walking back to her. He rubs her shoulders gently before hugging her.

"You are a lot of trouble you know that."

"Yeah I know."

"Are you aware that your principal knows about us?"

"No I was not. Are you in trouble."

"No. I met with her while you were out of school in front of the school board."

"What did they say?"

"I can keep my job. We are allowed to be together at school, but we need to keep it toned down a bit."

"So I can kiss you?"

"Yes."

"Now?"

"Yes."

"Can I hug you?"

"Always."

"Hmm so no making out then?"

"Not in front of students."

"Darn."

"You're telling me."

He laughs and kisses her as the bell rings.

"So have you gotten your new schedule?"

"Yeah."

"Do you like it?"

"I'm still in the same classes. Gym, Health, College Algebra, College Biology, Lunch, World Lit, World His, and then English. "

"Still counts."

"I know."

"Come on, i'll walk you there."

"Stephen, it's right across the hall."

"I know."

"Then why are you walking me?"

"So I can steal that ring back when you aren't paying attention."

"You hold my right hand. I could steal yours."

"Well, you wont. Also, I wouldn't steal yours."

"I know."

"Let's go to class."

Swim Practice

Krissy sighs slightly upset as she looks at herself in the mirror of the locker room.

"Hey Krissy come on!" Victoria, Elaine,  and Stevie shout at her from outside.

"Coming!" She shouts back wrapping a towel around her waist

She covers up her stomach and walks out the door and sits beside her friends.

"You're up next." Elaine whispers to her.

"I know."

"Stephen's here." Stevie tells her pointing to Krissy's mate sitting in the stands.

"I know. He walked me here."

"Has he seen your stomach?"

"Nobody has except for me and the doctor since I got my stitches out."

"Does it look ok?"

"Ms. Abandonato! You're up."

Krissy stands and removes the towel. She folds it and ignores the gasps and stares from the other girls as she walks over to the water. She dives in and swims strongly and finishes the routine of laps before getting out of the pool. The last trick was the high dive. Sadly, the ladder was right next to Stephen and the last thing she wanted was for him to see her scars. She walks to the ladder looking at him to see him studying her scar. She moves her arm and climbs
