Ugh Summer is so evil!
She should be shot.
Bless Kris phoning Jess
Can't wait for more.

Jess' POV

I wake up with the sound of my phone ringing, what idiot calls a person at this time anyway? Searching through the dark, half asleep I finally get hold of my phone and sit myself up to answer it.

"Hello?"
"Hey..." The voice on the other end makes me wake up more, it's Kris. "Is it ok to talk?"

"Kris it's late..." I laugh slightly but I don't want him to think that's me saying no. "It's fine though."

"I woke you didn't I?" I hear him sigh. "Sorry, i'm such an idiot calling at this time."
"It's alright...i'm not saying nothing about the idiot bit though."

I joke but he doesn't laugh, he just stays quiet. Has something happened with him? I can tell something is wrong, first of all he doesn't call me at this hour. He never has. I need to sit up and have a proper talk with him because I know that is what he's called for. Reaching over the bed, I flick on the little lamp which sends a glow around my room, I catch sight of the clock and see that it's gone past midnight now.

"I shouldn't have called you, i'm sorry..."
"No, Kris don't be daft. You can call me anytime, is everything ok?"
"I just needed to speak to someone that's all."
"I thought you were with Zoe?"
"I don't know where she is, she was out when I got back..."
"Oh..."

"It was Summer....I just lost it with her..." He admits, he seems quite stressed by it. "I can't believe her..."

"What happened?"

For the next ten minutes he goes over everything she said to him and through it all I can feel myself getting more and more angry. How could she say that to him, that! It's not fair to comment on how he is after she's slept with him. He was good enough for her then wasn't he? Just not good enough to Father her baby when I know just how great he'd be. I trust him, it doesn't matter how he is that doesn't come into it and it's one of the many reasons why I love him. I know I still love him, no matter what changes from now on that one thing won't. Ok, so he's different from other guys but he's so much more thoughtful and caring than most of them. I've never met anyone like him before and I know i've messed up my chance with him when I stupidly got involved with Darren but that doesn't mean I don't care for him and it doesn't mean I won't protect him either.

"I hate her Jess, I do..." He's upset, I can hear it in his voice.
"Hey, don't cry. It's ok, nothing she said was true Kris. You're an amazing person."
"Just not amazing enough to be trusted with a baby..."
"I've told you, I trust you."
"You do?"

Why does he even have to question that? I trust him, ofcourse I do. Sometimes, I wouldn't show it but I do trust him more than anyone else.

"You know I do. Listen, it doesn't matter what she says..."
"I know..."
"So don't let her get you upset. Kris, this isn't like you."
"I'm sorry...I..." He pauses, I hear someone else on the other end. "I've got to go..."

The line goes dead after that, I didn't get the chance to reply to him. Zoe must have got back and that's why he ended the call so quickly, he won't want her knowing about me yet. I know Kris will only say something about his visit when he's ready to tell them and i'm not sure when that will be. I'm worried about him, Summer's got to him and I know that now. Hearing him on that phone, it's not like Kris at all. He normally doesn't let anyone get to him like this but somehow she's managed it and I can see he's stressed by the whole thing. I wish I could set her straight on a few things but it's not my place to and I don't think everyone would be jumping for joy to have me back all of a sudden, even if it was to sort Summer out. I don't even know if Kris would thank me for it, he used to hate people sticking their noses in on his problems and i've upset him enough lately, I couldn't do it again.

Turning the phone around in my hands for a few seconds, I type in a message, just to ask if everything is alright. Without thinking too much about it, I press the send button and wait for a reply. He doesn't keep me waiting long.

Don't worry i'm fine, I promise. Zoe's back, thanks for listening. xXx

He doesn't have to thank me for listening to him, i'd do it anytime. I want to help him because I know how much I hurt him last year. I was so stupid, I couldn't see it at times and that's why he went with her. Throwing back my sheets, I grab the glass from the side and walk into the kitchen to collect a fresh glass of water.

"Hey, you can't sleep either eh?" It's Heather, she's sitting at the table. "Who were you talking to?"

"Kris, he phoned me."

"At this time?" She smiles but she doesn't understand. "He's a bit keen isn't he?"

"It's not like that, he's had a tough time recently, he just needs to talk to someone about it, that's all."

"Oh, is he alright?"
"I thought you didn't like him?" I question, sitting down with my glass.

"Jess, I don't really know him to make judgements. I was just shocked that, that was him I suppose."

"Why, what did you expect?"

"I don't know but it was nothing like Kris, I know that much. He's just not...you..."

"Well like you just said, you don't know him." I say then smile as I look into my glass thoughtfully.

"You still love him don't you?"
"No!" I deny it, that was my first reaction even if it is a lie.

"So you don't want to protect him from whatever it is that's troubling him?"

"No I do but..."
"Ah ha." She smiles.
"That doesn't mean I love him though, I just care for him..."

"Yeah right, ok. You just look at everybody like you do with Kris then do you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about..." I reply, feeling myself blush.

"Oh come off it Jess, I could sense the tension between you yesterday when we got back. Did we interupt?"

"No!" I laugh at her. "You didn't interupt anything, we were just talking...and then a bit of food fighting went on..."

"God, what age are you two anyway? Eight?"

"Oh very funny, we just got carried away but he certainly cheered me up so be thankful for that."

"Explains why he's calling you at all hours of the morning then."
"It's not like that." I turn serious. "He needs someone..."
"He needs you."
"Don't take this the wrong way but what's got into you?"
"What do you mean?"

"Well when Kris got here you weren't exactly nice to him and now you're saying all this..."

"Jess, that smile has not moved from your face from the moment he arrived to the moment he left."

"Ok, so he makes me happy. He's a friend and we need to build on that before anything else happens." I insist.

"Are you going to help him then?"
"What?" She can't be serious. "I can't go back there..."
"You could surprise him."
"Yeah, i'm sure he'd love that!" I add sarcastically.
"I'm sure he would."

Smiling, she leaves her drink behind and goes back to bed without another word. That leaves me sat there for a few minutes and I think about what she's said, is she right? Should I go back...maybe it's too soon. I can't think about this now, otherwise i'll never sleep. I collect my glass and decide to sleep on it, maybe i'll think differently in the morning.

Oooooo Jess has to go back. That is assuming Kris will be happy she goes back which I'm sure he will be but then there is the whole Zoe and Darren thing that went on. So I suppose it is complicated. Anway I'm rambaling, that paret was brilliant
I love it xxxx

Aww poor Kris Jess should go and kick Summers Butt

Kris' POV

After calling Jess last night, I hardly got to talk to her. Zoe arrived back and I knew I had to cut her off the phone before she found out. I'm still not ready to tell her where I was at New Year. We didn't talk much last night, I was knackered so went to bed soon after and now it's morning i've decided we'd go for lunch to have a little catch up. So that's where I am now, at Il Gnosh waiting for her to arrive. What is it with Girls and always being late? Jess, was exactly the same and i'd always be the one who would be waiting for hours on end until they were ready. I can't say I complained too much at the time, I wasn't that bothered about waiting at times but that's only because I knew that waiting for Jess would be worth it and everytime we met I knew I was right. She was worth waiting on and half the time she probably knew that because my eyes were completely fixed on her and her alone. The way she just listened to me last night, at that time, I couldn't do that with anyone else other than Jess. She knows how to put a smile on my face, i'll give her that.

"Kris, i'm sorry i'm late!"

Zoe's entrance, snaps me from my thoughts and I quickly push me chair back so I can stand and welcome her.

"Don't worry about it, it's not the first time is it?" I smile and we both sit down.

"Had a fashion nightmare....couldn't decide on what to wear..."

I feel myself smile, that's exactly what Jess would say.

"Zo, it's only lunch in Il Gnosh with me." I add, laughing gently. "Anyway, you look fine."

"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself. This trip to your Parents do you good then did it?"

"Yeah..." I lie but the trip did do me good. I saw her again didn't I? "It was great."

"Good, i'm glad to hear it. I know you needed to get away from here and Summ-"

"Zo, can we not talk about her? Sorry it's just, well she's not very high up on my list at the moment."

"Oh, yeah sorry..."

"Infact, she's not even on my list." I reply, but it's so true. I want nothing to do with her. "I can't even look at her."

"Well that's understandable. What is it with you and Women eh?"
"How do you mean?"
"Well first Jess.." She says her name and I look at her. "..then Summer.."
"Yeah well maybe it just wasn't meant to be with them."
"Neither of them were right for you."
"No?"

So why do I think that Jess still is? I never thought i'd say that and I promised myself I wouldn't fall for her all over again when I went looking for her but as soon as I saw her, that was it. I was sucked in and Kris Fisher had fallen into it so deep. I knew I couldn't do anything about it but the truth is, I don't think I ever stopped loving her, even after she'd gone. I know I was with Summer but that doesn't mean I didn't think about where Jess was or what she was doing, those thoughts entered my head so often.

"Well look at what they did to you, look at what Jess did to us..."

Part of me wants to tell Zoe that she's sorry and she wants to be friends again but I know it's not a good idea to bring it up at this moment so I keep quiet and hope she changes the subject.

"So, you had a good New Year then?" There, subject changed. I smile.
"God yeah, shame you missed it though. Me and Zak had a brilliant time, it was fun."
"Good, i'm glad to hear it. What about Elliot, or shouldn't I ask?"
"Oh he was off somewhere with John Paul, i'm not sure where."
"Oh you don't think..."

"No way!" Zoe says, we both laugh! "Elliot, gay? Come off it, Kris!"

"Well you never know do you, anyway I couldn't really see it for some reason."

We order lunch and talk some more, turns out I missed quite alot in the three days I was away. I can't say i'm bothered all too much because I know that I would have missed anything just to have those days with Jess. It meant alot to me strangely enough and I never thought it would. We left on such bad terms and within a night of seeing each other it was back to how it was before, maybe it's meant to be afterall.

"Party at the Dog tonight, you fancy it?" Zoe asks, going into her bag. "Some late New Year party or something."

"Oh i'm not sure..."
"Oh come on Kris, we really missed you the other night. Please?"

I know with that look, I couldn't possibly say no. Afterall I did miss the real New Years party.

"Oh alright, i'll come but only if you get in the first round!"
"Deal!" She grins. "And you have to sing with me..."
"What?"
"Yeah it's a compitition and i've already put our names down!"
"You are kidding right?" I ask, knowing she's being serious.
"No, anyway a few drinks down us and we'll show them who's..."
"Dreadful?" I interupt.
"No, we'll be great and we've got to win!"
"If you say so..." I sigh, why did I just agree to it?
"So you'll do it then?"
"Once and after it that's it, no more ok?"

"Great!" She grins happily. "People of Hollyoaks aren't going to know what's hit them!"

After tonight, I think she might just be right about that one. I've got this weird feeling about tonight and it's one I don't get very often. Something big is about to happen and it won't be me and Zoe winning the singing contest.

Kris' POV

"So what are we singing?"

"You mean you don't know?" Zoe asks, worryingly as she sits next to me. "Kris, i've told you twice already!"

"Well, I wasn't listening was I?" Probably too busy thinking about a certain someone to care about a stupid song!

"I'm not even going to ask why you weren't..."

Probably best she doesn't ask, I say to myself as she tells me yet again what we're singing. I can't say i'm happy about it but for Zoe i'll do it. Prize money doesn't matter to me and if we win Zoe can have it, i'm not sure I even care about it now.She's taking things far too seriously, rehearsing god knows how many times before we actually leave for the Dog and when we get there I want to walk straight back out again.

"What is she doing here?" I grit, letting Zoe lead me to the Bar. "I want to go..."

"Hey, you're not doing that. You can't let her run you out of the Dog, Kris, just ignore her."

"She'll be in my face all night, I want nothing
to do with her Zo. Nothing at all!"

"Just take this.." She hands me a drink. "..pretend she's not there if need be."

Yeah like it's that easy. She's always jumping around me, trying to get attention and I was the one idiot stupid enough to give her it not that long ago and look where that got me...she's ruined everything. Zoe drags me to a table, trying to get as far away from her as possible but when i'm sitting there drinking, I see she's getting closer and closer each time. At first I thought it was just me but then she's practically sitting on me!

"Kris?" She asks in this little whiney voice, it does my head in.
"Didn't you get the message last time?"
"We need to talk, properly."
"I don't need to do anything with you...I don't know why I ever did!"
"You weren't exactly caring too much last time..."
"Just shut up!"
"All over me you were..."
"Right!" I snap and push my chair back. "You want to talk, lets talk. Outside now!"

I storm outside despite Zoe trying to get me to leave it. I just can't, she's winding me up and I can't take much more of it. I need to tell her some home truths, tell her what I really think of her and I don't even care how harsh it sounds...

"You never listen to me..."
"Can you blame me, after what you did. You seem to just forget that Summer, you got rid of our baby!"
"I had to..."
"Without telling me!" I interupt again.
"I told you, I had to!"
"Why?!"

"I know if I told you, you would have wanted me to have the baby..."
"Ofcourse I would have, because that's whats right!"
"No, not with you it isn't. Being with you was one thing but starting a family with you..."
"You said you loved me, what was that all about?!"
"I did, I do..." She says, following me away from the Dog. "I just can't have a baby with.."
"Someone like me, you said before. It just shows what type of person you really are..."
"Well look at you Kris, you ain't exactly normal are you...you're like a.."

"Like a what?!" I shout, wanting to know what she was going to say. "You know i've made some mistakes in my life..."

"Haven't we all?!"
"But getting involved with you has to be up there with the biggest!"

"Oh come off it Kris, we all know you only think that because your precious Princess left and you did nothing about it!"

"You what?"
"Even I knew you still wanted her when she'd gone, you still love her don't you?"
"What's that got to do with anything?" I reply back, annoyed that she's brought Jess into this.
"Well it's who you sneaked off to see a few days ago!"

Before I reply, I catch a glimpse of Zoe who's heard everyword and just as I expected, she gets upset and rushes off, I call her back but she doesn't stop.

"Now look what you've done!"

"I don't know why you're keeping your meeting with Jess a secret, unless you're ashamed to be with her!"

"Ashamed?" I laugh at her. "Why would I be?"

"She's a nasty, heartless little cow. I mean sleeping with your best friends boyfriend, then running off and leaving..."

"You don't know nothing, so just shut up about her alright!"
"And that doesn't surprise me either, you always took her side Kris, always!"

"So?" I shrug her off me. "You want to talk about heartless Summer, then you need to look at yourself. Jess would..."

"What, never done what I did?" She finishes for me. "Don't lie to yourself Kris, she wouldn't have had your baby either!"

"She knows what you did and she said she'd never do it....cos she's like that, she's a million of you!"

"Well it's easy for her to say that cos she wasn't the one who was carrying your baby was she?"

"Just go!" I turn my back on her, wanting her to leave me alone.

"You need to sort yourself out if you want a Family, no one is going to be interested with you like that.."

With my back to her my guard slips for a few seconds and tears actually start to appear in my eyes. How can she get to me like this? I can't let her see that she's got to me, so I shout another insult and walk back to Halls, knowing that I just need away from her. Just the thought of her being near me makes my blood boil. She's flaunting around like nothing ever happened but that's probably what the whole thing was to her...nothing. How could I fall for that?

Pushing the front door open, I catch sight of Zoe who's sitting on the sofa. When I walk in, she turns away from me.

"You lied to me..." She whispers as I close the door. "...You said you were with your Family!"
"I'm sorry..."
"No you're not, you're just sorry you got found out!"

"I was planning on telling you the truth, I just couldn't find the right time." I reply, sitting with her.

"The right time?" She scoffs. "Kris, you know what she did..you said you hated her!"
"Yeah well I thought I did...you know what it's like, things are said in the heat of the moment."
"No, Kris. Everything I said to her, I meant it. She's no friend of mine anymore!"
"She's sorry, I know that now. Spending that time with her made me see that..."
"I bet she loved it, you running back to her like you did. It's exactly what she would have wanted!"
"Zo.." I pause and turn to her. "..you know how I felt...still feel about her.."
"Even after what she's put us through?" She asks.

"This sounds so stupid but, well after what happened with Summer...Jess was all I thought about, i'd wake up and she'd be on my mind, i'd go to sleep and she'd still be there. I wanted to see her, wanted to talk to her and have her listening to what i've been through and do you know what?"

"What?"

"She was there...I didn't even have to ask her. It just felt good to see her again and she put a smile on my face."

"I don't want to hear this!"

"Despite how much I realised that I still care about her, I wasn't going to jump back into bed with her."

"Well that's something I suppose....Kris, you could have talked to me, you know you could have..."

"I know but it's not the same Zo, it had to be Jess. It just had to be her."

"I don't see why it had to be, she didn't care about us when she jumped into bed with my boyfriend."

"She's sorry..."
"Yeah?" She snaps, pushing her chair back. "So am I!"

I seconds that!

I was honestly never into the whole Kress thing but this fic has really got to me in a good way anyway I hope Zoe eventually gets it into her heart to forgive, because I think Kriss and Jess are meant to be, but it will only work if they are all friends together. I am liking your evil Summer though, but I can't hate her cos she is fab with OB in the recent episodes . Carly x

Poor Kris, he needs a hug from Jess because by the looks of it Zoe isn't going to give him one.
Fantastic, I love it xxxx

OMG Summer's like a bad smell.....so hard to get rid of!
Her and her big, nasty, foul mouth upsetting everyone
I can understand why Zoe is upset but as Kris said himself, it just had to be Jess that he spoke too, simple as....she'll get over it lol
Poor Kris though, someone just needs to sort the mega cow out once and for all...

Brilliant stuff hun cant wait to read more xxxx
