Upstairs Criss and his mother were woken by screaming and yelling.  They ran down stairs to see Klayton thrashing around on the couch.  "NO LEAVE ME ALONE I DIDN'T DO IT!!" he yelled.  Dimitra tried to grab his legs but Criss told her not to afraid she's get kicked in the face.  Criss went to the kitchen and filled a pan of ice cold water than threw it on Klayton waking him up.  "WHAT THE HELL CRISS!!" Klayton yelled as Dimitra went to get him a towel.

"Sorry but that's the only way I can get you to stop thrashing" putting the pan down.  "He still haunts me Criss" Klayton said.  "I know but this time you have a lot of people including Carrie that want to help you through this.  I even talked to Lynn about maybe you seeing a therapist to conquer this" Criss suggested.  "Thanks Criss oh god look at my hands" he said as blood drips from his palms.  "Mom bring the first aid kit!!"Criss called out.  She came back with a towel and the first aid kit. 

"Oh my god what happened Christopher?" Dimitra asked.  "I think when he was thrashing he dug his nails into his palm" Criss remarked wrapping Klayton's palms.  "I'm not going to be able to go through this" Klayton stated.  "We'll talk to the lawyer today OK".  "Why don't you guys go back to sleep I'm going for a walk" Klayton stated getting up.  Dimitra walked over to him and gave him a hug.  "Just don't do anything that will make me cry" she asked.  "I won't momma D I swear" giving her a hug. 

He opened the door and left.  Klayton was walking when he saw a group of kids getting on the bus as two were running.  In the middle of the street a little girl fell out of her shoe.  As she went to get her shoe a car was speeding towards her.  The girl was stuck with fear but Klayton ran and grabbed her infront of everyone before the car hit her.  The driver ran out to Klayton and the little girl who was crying.  "You ok sir".  "Yes you all right?" he asked the girl.

"Yes".  They both got up as the driver checked the little girl.  "Expect for a skinned knee you're look OK".  The little girl gave Klayton a hug and thanked him.  "Thank you for saving me".  "You're welcome now why don't you get on that bus and have fun in school"he suggested. 

Everyone got on the bus as Klayton went to the sidewalk.  When the bus left Klayton turned and like in slow motion he saw his sister standing there in white with her honey blonde blowing in the wind.  Klayton stood there until a car went by and she disappeared.
