Jess' POV

I only came in here to sort myself out, I must look a right mess. Kris being Kris said I looked beautiful how I was but he always did say things like that when we were getting on. Don't get me wrong, the butterflies in my stomach started, ones which I don't think i've ever experienced before which made me just want to rush in here before I made more of an idiot of myself. I re-apply my make up and straighten myself out, I can't even stop myself from smiling when I look at the dress. He said he remembered it after all. Even that alone meant alot to me, him just noticing it was like he noticed me like he used to. Like he looked at me as if I meant something to him...it was so different from the look he gave me before I left. I never want him to look at me like that again, my heart broke. I always knew I could deal with everyone else giving me grief, because Kris was always my hero, barging in on arguements just to stick up for me. If I had him on my side i'm sure I would have stayed but as soon as I knew he couldn't even look at me most of the time, I had to go. It crushed me to think he couldn't even look at me and when he did it wasn't the look I was used to from him.

I've been here all of five minutes and he's defended me twice already. He didn't even have to but he just jumps in anyway. First Darren then Frankie and I know it won't stop there. I throw everything back into my bag and make my way back out to the Bar when I hear a few raised voices, it's only when I stop to listen that I realise that I know those voices. I can't leave it to Kris and I was always going to have to face her sometime, I may aswell do it now and get it out the way.

"You're going on like a lovesick pup, it's pathetic!" Zoe tells him as I walk back in.
"Pathetic?!"

"Yeah and don't you dare say it's not. You know full well if it was anyone else other than Jess you wouldn't make the effort!"

"Well if that's the case it just shows you how much she still means to me. She didn't have to come here.."

"And she shouldn't have!"

"But she did..." Kris says back, just as angry as she did. "...all this way just to stick up for me.."

"Oh as if, she's never cared about anyone but herself!"
"That will explain why she came all this way to tell Summer to back off!"

I decide I don't want to walk out there just yet, so I stay back where none of them can see me.

"She'll use you.."
"No, she won't!" He says, I know I wouldn't. I can't break his heart again.
"No one wants her back here apart from you..."
"And what's it got to do with you exactly?!" He starts on Sarah.
"She's my friend, i'm looking out for her.."
"Oh yeah cos you were doing a great job when your mad Mother attacked her!"

Before I can even step out of the shadows, Sarah's thrown my drink all over him and it all kicks off with the screaming and the shouting, while Warren is trying to get to the bottom of it all.

"You're well out of order!" Zoe warns before I do make myself seen. "I was waiting on you!"
"Zo listen..."

"I told you before, I don't want to hear anything you've got to say. Back five minutes and you're already causing trouble."

"Me?" I laugh slightly. Why is it always me? "It was her that threw the drink over him!"
"Yeah but you didn't hear what he said..." Sarah interupts.
"Oh and it's just your style isn't it? Throwing drinks over people.."
"Better than yours. Nothing but a money grabbing..."
"Back off." Kris warns, pulling me to him. "Zoe just go!"

"Atleast I don't have to sell myself to some cheap magazine, oh but that is what you are isn't it? Cheap!"

"You nasty little cow!" She fumes and manages to slap me across the face.
"Oi, there was no need for that!"
"Kris, it's ok..." I grab my jacket. "...i'm going anyway!"

Pushing myself past both Zoe and Sarah, I rush outside and start making my way back to my
friends. I just knew it would kick off but I didn't think it would be like that. If I didn't walk out then, Warren would have only have thrown us all out anyway, I don't want to cause all that trouble so it's better if I go. It's already causing too much trouble for Kris and I really didn't want that, me being here is probably only making his life worse. I came here to help him and i'm doing anything but that.

I hear him calling on me but I keep my head down and keep walking, that's when I hear him chasing up behind me. Why does he keep doing this? Thinking he has to protect me every single time someone says something? It can't be good for him to get involved, atleast i've got nothing to lose.

"Hey, where are you going?"
"Home." I reply tearfully as I keep walking from him.
"What?"

"I've not even been back five minutes and i'm causing all kinds of trouble for you.."
"What are you talking about?"

"Summer, Darren, Frankie, Zoe, Sarah..." I shout. "Who next Kris, who else will you have to have a go at so they back off?!"

"I don't care who it is!"
"Yes but I do!"
"Why?" He asks, grabbing my hand to stop me from walking on. "Why care..."
"Because I deserve everything I get, that's why." I pull my hand from is. "Just let me go."
"You leaving, it's exactly what they want!"
"Well they're getting what they want, I shouldn't have came here!"
"Don't say things like that!" He tells me.
"Why not?"

"Because you didn't come here for them..." He stops, making me stop with him. "You came here for me."

He's right, I did come here for him but can't he see that me being here is only going to make things worse?

"It's not fair, me doing this to you...You shouldn't have to defend me like you do.."
"But that's why you came here, to defend me."
"That's different." I insist.
"How is it? It's exactly the same Jess, you know it."
"No it's not, I deserve everything I get but you, you deserve none of this."
"You can't be punished for a stupid mistake you made a Year ago Jess, it's not right!"

"You should just go home, Kris..." I whisper but I know I don't mean it. I want him here, I need him here.

"Don't tell me what to do.." He says, staring at me for a while. "..she shouldn't have hit you."
"She was only did what Zoe wanted to do.."

"But it's nothing to do with her, she needs to keep her mouth shut and her nose out." He pauses, looking at me once more. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah.It was nothing."
"Nothing?!"
"Kris please.." I sigh, I just want him to leave it now. "..it's done now, just forget it."
"How can I when you say you're going?"
"I wasn't planning on coming back to stay, I was here for a few days then i'm gone.."
"But i've only just seen you today. One drink and that's all I get?"
"What more do you want?"
"You know what I want. Come back to Halls with me?" He asks, I step back how could he?
"I don't believe you!"
"What?!"
"It's all you think about isn't it, even in times like this!" I push him away and start to walk off.
"What...Jess, you've got it all wrong!"
"Just leave me alone, Kris!"


It's only when I get back to my friends that I realise he didn't come after me.

Brilliant as always

Jess please stay

Heather, Heather, Heather where do i start?
Firstly well done Mr Fisher for telling Zoe how it is! Lets face it he practicallyloves her!
Point number two: Jess shouldn't have run off like that, Kris would have protected her no matter what
Point three: Of course he didn't mean that, well maybe he did but there is nothing wrong with them getting back down to business

Bump-age! :P

Kris' POV

I can't believe that just happened. Half an hour ago things were going great, like they used to. She was relaxed, we were talking and I was happy. Until Zoe and stupid Sarah decided to show up, I knew it would kick off, I just didn't expect me to wear a drink and Jess to get a slap. Something which i'm not very happy about either, it's nothing to do with her, Zoe's mate or not!

As I get back towards the Dog it hits me that i've just let Jess walk off and i've got no idea where she's staying. When I asked her to come back to Halls with me it certainly wasn't for what she thought, she got it so wrong and now she probably thinks that today was only about one thing. It's ridiculous. I'm never like that and i'd never be like that with her of all people, it's not a case of take what I want then see you later, not with her. How could she even think that was what I was after? I need to sort it out before she leaves again, I can't let her go this time. Once was bad enough and I don't want to go back down that route. I pull out my phone, get to her number and i'm about to press the call button when Zoe and Sarah appear from out the Dog. Confronting them is more on my mind right now for some reason, so I furiously push the phone back into my pocket and storm across.

"I hope you two are happy!"
"Where's Jess?" Zoe asks.
"Probably ran off again, I know how she likes to do that." Sarah adds, making me fume more.
"Just shut up alright, it's nothing to do with you. You shouldn't have hit her like that!"
"She shouldn't have said what she did!"
"Well I didn't hear anyone else argue about what she said..."
"I'm not-"
"Sarah, can you give me a minute?" Zoe interupts, taking me by surprise. "Please, I need to talk to him."
"Fine." She sighs, turning away. "I'll get you back at the house then?"
"Yeah, I won't be long."

I watch her storm off like some stroppy teenager who didn't get there way. I'm not even sure I want to hear what Zoe's got to say, not if it's another lecture about me going off to see Jess last week. It's not as if I blow my top at any of the stupid things she's done, not that going after Jess was stupid...it's probably the best thing i've ever done...but Mike Barnes?! Even Sarah has no clue and when she finds out, which she will at some point, she's going to tell her so called friend where to go. Even I couldn't be that nasty to reveal Zoe's secret, i'm not like that not when it comes to friends.Atleast that's what I thought she was.

"That shouldn't have happened!" I say finally. "You were both out of order you know?"
"And Jess? Everything she said was ok was it?"
"Well what do you expect Zo? For her to just stand there and take the abuse you throw at her?"
"Isn't that what she deserves?!"
"No..."
"Oh ofcourse you think that.."
"She's paid for what she did and she's sorry but you don't give her a chance!"
"She doesn't deserve one!" She shouts back. "I think you're forgetting what she did to us!"
"I'm trying to.."
"Admit it Kris, when she left it killed you!"
"It didn't." I lie and swallow hard.
"Come off it, why else are you so desperate to get her back?"
"You really want to know?"
"Go on, although i'm sure I know already. It's pretty obvious even if you keep denying it."

"She's the only one who makes me feel myself again after what happened with Summer. I shutdown because of her...then I saw Jess again and everything just felt so different..I started feeling things again, things I haven't felt in a long time..."

"So why aren't you with her now?"
"I said the wrong thing..." I laugh slightly and sit down with her. "..but when do I not?"
"What did you say?"
"Why do you want to know? Thought you didn't care.."
"Kris.."
"I asked her back to Halls but she totally took it to mean something else."
"Like.."
"Sex?" I finish. "Zo you can say it and yeah she thought that's what I meant."
"Doesn't surprise me."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I question quite angrily. "Oh forget it."

"I just don't want to see you getting hurt again, Kris."
"That was Summer, this is Jess we're talking about.."
"And do you think she's not capable of hurting you?"

"Not in the way Summer did, no. Jess would never do what Summer did to me. I know she wouldn't."

"If you say so..." She sighs. I want to know what she's getting at.
"What?"
"Well how come you're so sure she wouldn't do what Summer did if she was in that posistion?"

"She told me...I know I shouldn't have asked but when she answered she didn't even have to think about it, it's like she knew already."

"I don't want to fall out with you, you know?"
"And we won't, I promise." I smile back best I can and pull her into a hug.
"Kris..." She laughs, pulling away. "..You stink of alcohol."
"Well what do you expect when Sarah does an impression of her Mother and throws it over me?"
"I'll get her to apoligise but you'll have to..."
"Forget it, it's not me who she should be apoligising to is it?"
"She won't apoligise to Jess."
"Well she can stay clear of her then, I mean it Zo...it's nothing to do with her."
"I know.." She admits. "...do you know where Jess is?"
"No.." I shake my head and look to my phone. "..I shouldn't have let her go like that."
"You should call her."
"To hear the sound of her voicemail? No thanks."
"Have you even tried calling her to explain?"
"No." I say, she laughs.
"Typical. So how do you know she won't answer?"
"Because I opened my big mouth and now she thinks I only want one thing from her, that's why."
"Well.." She takes the phone from me. "..go back, get changed, call her and sort it out."

Why is she acting like this all of a sudden? Like she used to when it came to me and Jess, she was always trying to get us together.

"Why are you doing this?"
"Something tells me you two would still be in there if I hadn't showed up. I'm sorry for going off on one."
"I know she hurt you but all I want is for it to go back to how it was before."
"One step at a time eh?" She smiles, handing over my phone. "I'm not sure i'm ready to forgive her just yet."
"But you'll think about it?"
"Shouldn't you be getting ready for her? Go on, go before she does."

Her sudden change of heart definately takes me by surprise but I can't sit there and ask her questions. I've got so much to do and not enough time to do it, first things first, changing out of these clothes. I'll call her after that, hoping that she's going to give me a chance to explain what I meant earlier.

Jess best pick up the phone and let Kris explain if you know what is best for you Heather! I'm glad Zoe has had a change of heart even if she isn't ready to forgive Jess. Brilliant xxx

I think you covered that pretty well there Lianne so here I go on one of my little comment stealing sprees

Fab Heather

Jess' POV

"Oh back already?" My friend teases. "Was he that bad?"
"What?"

"Well I thought this was going to turn out to be one of those nights that actually end up with you not coming home."

"No!" I snap and sit down, holding back the tears. "He's..."
"What?" Heather asks sitting down. "He's perfect in your eyes I know."
"No, he's a typical bloke that's what!"
"What are you going on about? Oh he wasn't a total idiot was he?"

"This is Kris we're talking about!" I reply, throwing my jacket to the side. "Idiot is his middle name!"
"Dare I ask what happened?"

She looks at me, I feel i've got to tell her. So I sit back with a drink and find myself explaining the evening to her, from the arguement with him when I first saw him to me walking off and leaving him at the Dog.I'm surprised he didn't follow me, not that I wanted him to. I don't even know what came over me, he asked me something and next thing I knew I was telling him to leave me alone as I rushed off. He was probably right when he said that I shouldn't let someone like Sarah get to me but she slapped me around the face, what did he expect me to do? Sit down and carry on drinking the drink he got for me? I couldn't even do that cos she threw it over him!

"He asked you back?"
"That's what I just said isn't it?"
"And you run back here, why?" She asks.
"Because that's not what I want..."
"I thought you wanted him back?"

"I do..." I reply. "...in a way but I don't want it to happen like that. It's the fact he even thought about it!"

"Well doesn't it show that he still loves you?"
"No, it shows he's only after one thing. Like any other pointless man on this Earth!"
"Jess, I know you're upset but.."

"Yeah I am and that's the whole point, if he thinks jumping back into bed with him is going to make everything better then he needs to think again!"

"There was me thinking that's what you wanted."
"Excuse me?" I can't believe this or her for that matter.

"Well you set out to make an impression and you obviously did. Look any idiot can see you still love him, so what's stopping you from being with him? What exactly did he say to you?"

"He asked me back to Halls."
"What, just like that?"
"Yes."
"Oh.." She laughs. "...that doesn't mean he wanted to drag you off to the bedroom!"

"Really?" I reply, sarcastically. Have I really been that stupid? "It's the way he asked not what he said!"

"You've said several times that he's not like any other bloke so do you not think, maybe you took it the wrong way?"

She's right. He only asked a question and I totally went off on one without giving him the chance to explain. It was something so innocent and I must have took it the wrong way. Kris wouldn't just ask me like that, no way...bit of harmless flirting before but that's always been us...I was upset, he asked me back to Halls.... god i'm such an idiot! Why would I even turn something simple into him asking me back for something else?

"I've just been a total idiot!" I sigh as it hits me. "Oh I can't believe I..."
"He'll understand."
"What if he doesn't?"
"Then he really is an idiot." She laughs. "Call him, explain what happened."

"And what am I supposed to say? Oh sorry I thought you wanted to use me for sex, do you want to come over?!"

Wow, I am stressed.

"Just call him..." She hands me my phone. "...if he loves you, he'll understand."

As she leaves me to it and joins my other friend in the other room, I look down at his number for a few seconds. I can't believe I got that so wrong, infact I really couldn't have got it more wrong. He probably only wanted me round for a coffee or something and there's me taking it to the extreme. He must think i'm such a stupid cow... I don't want to think about what to say anymore so I press the call button before I give myself anymore time to think.

"Kris?....it's me..." Ofcourse he knows it's me, my name would have flashed up on his screen.
"I gathered that much." I hear him laugh. "Jess listen.."
"I've just been a total idiot, i'm so sorry...I shouldn't have thought that you wanted to.."
"You aren't going are you?" He interupts me. I don't even know the answer.
"Not right now, no.."
"Can I come over?"
"Tonight?"
"Yeah, what did you think I meant? Unless you think it's a bad idea..."
"No, no Kris I don't!" I say quickly. "I'll have to come and meet you first."
"Oh good, cos I thought for a second you were leaving me to find the place myself."
"Ofcourse not. I can meet you when you're ready..."
"I am ready." He replies.
"You are?" That quick?
"Yeah...I think i've got everything I need..."
"Right well, I can meet you in the gardens if that's ok?"
"That's perfect. I'm already there."
"Great!" I smile down the phone. "I won't be long then."

Hanging up the phone, I grab my jacket I threw down minutes before and pull it back on. I don't
need to take anything else, atleast I don't think I do.

"Where are you going?"
"To get Kris..." I reply, smiling once more.
"Ah so you sorted it then?"
"Sorted what?" Lianne asks, seen as I never told her.
"Nothing, i'll explain later. I need to go get him, he's waiting."
"Hold on he's coming back here?"
"Yeah, well where else?"
"Oh nothing, it doesn't matter. You better go get him then, don't keep him waiting."

I don't stick around to hear what else is said, I actually couldn't have rushed out quick enough. I suppose I know that I need to tell him that i'm sorry for getting everything wrong before. I should have known he didn't mean that when he asked me back. This is Kris, we're talking about and when did he ever use me like that? I can't believe the thought even entered my mind. It's weird, i've not seen him for an hour or two at the most and i'm getting butterflies, knowing that i'm going to see him in a few moments.

Brilliant x

Awww that was cute about her getting butterflies! I'm glad they are all sorted now, well they best be! Fab xxx
