Why Hello There!(Eric)

[Grace Mills]

When Eric heard her say she would just push it aside he shook his head no. He grabbed her hand and made he look at him. "Kristy....you can't push it aside anymore. It wasn't just a spell, something that big needs to be talked about. Just so you know you aren't getting out of talking about this Kris."

[Jason Smith]

Suddenly Kristys face wasnt smiling anymore. She firmly took her hand out of his, and set her coffee on the table as she stared at him, "listen Eric you werent there the night...You dont know what it was like, what just thinking about it is like. Pushing it aside is the only thing I can do that keeps me sane..." she says her voice hard and cold.

[Grace Mills]

Eric sighed and said "Well if you don't push it aside anymore and talk about it maybe it will be easier. I don't know what it was like that night and I wont unless you tell me."

[Kristy Learing]

Kristy looked at him utterly pissed at the moment. She really didnt want to talk about it but she knew Eric cared so she was going to try and put him on a guilt trip, "So you want me to be in pain? Cause you realize that talking about it brings me immense pain." she says as her eyes glaze over in a sort of glassy cover.

[Eric Johnson]

When Kristy said 'So you want me to be in pain? Cause you realize that talking about it brings me immense pain' Eric sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Come on Kristy, I know that it hurts you and you know I don't want you to hurt anymore but you have to talk about this. Jason even said so, so unless you want me to call him over here too I think you just need to talk about this, the pain won't go away unless you get it all out."

[Jason Smith]

Kristy looked at him as he spoke and then turned away when he said he would call Jason. Not that she didnt love her cousin but she knew that he would some how force it out of her. She just shook her head and stood up going to the kitchen and putting her empty glass in the sink she then turned back and looked at Eric, "it all started when me and Jake went out" she says.

[Grace Mills]

When she walked into the kitchen to put her cup in the sink he just stayed in the living room hoping she would talk. When Eric heard her say 'it all started when me and Jake went out' he let out a sigh of relief. He walked to the kitchen and put his cup in the sink and took her hand leading her back to the living room sitting her down on the couch he nodded and if saying for her to continue.

[Kristy Learing]

When they were back in the living room she stared at him for a few moments before sighing. She looked around the room and stood up and started to pace her voice fast, "I thought that me and Jake had something. I mean I was a freshman and I thought that since he was a Junior that there had to be something. Of course I knew he had used girls before and everything but it just felt like something. Because I gave into him we had sex only after a week of me knowing him. And stupid me didnt even think of using protection...I found out about a month later I was pregnant. I had a huge decision to make, my parents didnt know...I never have told Jake. Jason and Grace are the only ones who know...So I decided to abort the baby. Thinking that it wouldnt bother me" she says. That wasnt the bad part to her, talking about the days and weeks after the aborition was her problem.

[Eric Johnson]

Eric just remained on the couch as she told her story. He just sat there and listend to her and he felt her pain because he cared so much for her. When she finished that part saying 'So I decided to abort the baby. Thinking that it wouldnt bother me.' He remained seated saying "But it did bother you Kris. It's only natural that it would."

[Kristy Learing]

Kristy stopped and stared at him, "Eric I wasnt suppose to know that...I was a freshman it was acutally my first year here, you know that. I had a child in my stomach...And I didnt have a choice" she says as she turned away from him and looked out the large window at the early morning sun.

[Eric Johnson]

Eric sighed at what she said. He knew she was right about it. "I know you weren't suppose to know know that Kris and that you didn't have a choice...but it happened. What happened after you got the abortion?" He was trying to ask the right questions to pry the answers out of her.

[Kristy Learing]

Kristy stared at him for a moment and then sighed and came back to the couch but sat out of his reach. She looked down at her hands and sighed then, "after the abortion I had a week of serious depression. I was constantly being watched by my sister or Jason. At one point i had to go back to the hospital. After that week though they decided that I needed to go on antidepressants...And pretty much since then I havent thought or talked about it" she says still not looking at him.

[Eric Johnson]

Eric just listened when she sat next to him and told him about what happened after. She didn't look at him but he didn't mind, he just wanted to be there for her. When she finished he sighed and said "Wow Kris, I know that it had to have hurt to do that but what's done is done and you are talking about it without breaking down. That is a good sign." He gave her a small smile wondering if she would look at him.

[Kristy Learing]

Kristy just sat there still looking down. She had a few tears rolling down her cheaks and she sighed. She heard his words and nodded, "i know" she says her voice small and quiet as they just sat there.

[Grace Mills]

Eric could tell she was crying because he saw the marks on her pants. He sighed and moved closer to her pulling her into a hug. "It will be okay Krisy I promise. Just let it out." He ran his hands over her hair to try and comfort her.
