Around two in the morning Criss woke up to hear someone breaking in he went downstairs to turn on the light to see Klayton sneaking in the house through a window.  "Klayton what are you doing?" he asked helping his friend up.  "I left the hospital I hated being there brought back memories of me being sedated or restrained to my bed"Klayton replied. "Than why didn't you call me instead of breaking into the house". 

"Didn't want to wake you" Klayton replied sheepishly.  "You better be thankful my mother doesn't own a gun or you'd be heading toward the morgue right now" Criss said. "I just can't believe I have to go through this again did you know my father sends me letters from jail". "You ever read them?"Criss inquired.  "Once he blamed me for killing Amanda and every letter was the same thing so I stopped opening them and burned them I should mail back the embers to my father with a note that says return to sender" Klayton remarked. 

"We'll do that if you get a letter from him again" Criss suggested.  "Does your mother have any of that tea she drinks when she can't sleep". "The one that smells like dirty sweat sock and sneakers yea she sends it to me when I get work related insomnia I think I have a case of it by now I'll send to you when I get back home"Criss stated as Klayton chuckled.  "Criss I don't know if I ever said this to your family but I think without your family helping me twenty years ago I'd probably be in an insane asylum or serial killer". 

"I can't see you as Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacey"Criss replied.  Criss brought the tea over but when Klayton saw Criss with a clothes pin on his nose he started to laugh.  "Where's a camera when I needed it"he said taking the tea. Criss took off the clothes pin off.  "I'll get you a pillow and a blanket and if you watch television keep it down so you don't wake up my mother" Criss stated. 

"I promise I'll just make sure it keeps you up instead".  "Smart ass" Criss mumbled as he went upstairs.  As he was grabbing the pillow Dimitra opened her door and asks Criss what was going on.  "Just Klayton mom he signed himself out from the hospital and came here.  Just go back to sleep while I go smother him" Criss replied. 

"And we'll bury the body underneath the roses might make them grow better this year"she joked as she closed the door.  Now I know where I got my sense of humor from Criss thought as he went downstairs.
