Kris
Kris stayed by Katy's bedside for a week. The tour was postponed, apologies issued, story broken by the press. Adam and the others had left Kris alone. Kris was grateful. He had really needed the time to think and grieve for the loss of his child. Because he didn't care what anyone said, it was a child, not a fetus. He felt that same loss, the same pain, the same ache in his heart that he knew could never go away.
Losing a child was always the most cruel thing in the world, Kris thought.
A week after the accident, Kris was sitting by Katy's bedside, just looking at her, wondering how she was getting through this. A mother's bond with her child, he knew, was extremely strong, whether or not she had met that child. They had cried together. They would get through this together, Kris thought.
He saw her eyelids flutter and open. She smiled up at Kris, and he smiled back. She looked so angelic, with the golden rays of the sun falling on her face. But there was something different about the way Kris saw her now. He had missed Katy while she was away, and he loved Katy. Sure, they weren't going to have a child, but they could make this work. They've been together for almost a decade, for god's sake.
But Katy had other ideas.
As soon as she had had her lunch, Katy looked up at Kris and he saw a resignation in her eyes. He saw defeat, he saw resolution, he saw sadness.
"Kris. We need to talk," Katy said. The four worst words in relationship dictionary, in Kris's opinion.
"Mmmm?" Kris mumbled, still munching on Katy's Jell-O, which she had neglected.
"Kris," Katy said, taking his hands in hers. Wow, this has got to be serious, Kris thought. "Its over. We're... over."
Kris's plastic spoon dropped back onto Katy's tray. He stared at her, mouth open in shock. What was going on?
"I know, Kris," Katy continued. "I know you, and I know you haven't been happy in a long time. And I know that has something to do with Adam."
Kris just continued looking at her like she had sprouted a second nose. Where was all this coming from? They were supposed to be in love. How had she known?
"Please, Kris," Katy said, laughing, interpreting his quizzical expression correctly. "I'm not stupid, I think I was just in denial. But now... now I think I'm finally beginning to accept it."
"Katy -" Kris started.
"Are you in love with him?" Katy said.
Kris gulped. There was no hiding it any more. "Yes. But... I love you too, Katy."
"But you're IN love with him," Katy continued. She looked at peace with this whole scene. It was as though she had known all along.
"Yes."
"Kris, I'm not going to pretend this doesn't crush me. I'm absolutely devastated. I can't imagine how I'm going to deal losing a child and you, my husband and my best friend all in one week," Katy laughed and her perfect image of calmness broke a little.
He squeezed her hand with his. "I'm sorry, Katy. I'm sorry." He could feel the tears beginning to fall.
"It's okay, Kris," she said, wiping away his tears. "Like I said, I think I've known for a while now. To be honest, I was actually a little relieved when I found out I was pregnant." Kris looked up, surprised. "I just knew you wouldn't leave me then," Katy explained. "That's just the type of guy you are," Katy continued. She laughed and said, "I guess I was just postponing the inevitable, wasn't I?"
"I ... I don't know what to say, Katy." Kris was overwhelmed with emotion, this week alone had been so draining for him.
"Just promise me. Just promise me that you won't let happiness pass you by, Kris." Katy started to tear up. "I wanted you to be happy with me, but more than anything, Kris, I just want you to be happy."
Kris pulled her into a hug. He embraced her tightly, and broke down. They both cried together, grieving for the end of their marriage. "I promise," Kris whispered. "I promise."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bye, K," Adam whispered, breaking their embrace.
Kris didn't let him. He just held on tighter. Adam laughed and held on to Kris's small frame. "I'll miss you," he continued. All Kris could do was nod, and fight the tears in his eyes.
The tour was over and Adam was leaving to be with his family for a while before he continued his recording. Kris was going to Arkansas to be with his family, but Adam's flight was departing first. The other idols had all left, but not before Matt had given him a "Just do it already" look.
And Kris wanted to. He wanted to tell Adam everything, tell him that he'd been in love with him forever, tell him that he didn't want to let him go and that he wanted to be with him forever. But he kept putting it off, and now the tour was over, and his window of opportunity was closing fast. Adam would surely go back home, find another Drake or Kris or someone, and Kris would be in the same position again, pining over someone who didn't even know.
But Kris let go of Adam. They stopped hugging and Kris felt like a part of him had left with Adam when Adam turned to wave.
Adam gave him a brilliant smile and then he turned back and kept moving.
And all Kris could do was watch.
Sorry for the slow update. I just got back my inspiration after a while. Comment please. I live for them.
