a year before of an inoperable tumor. Kelly decided she wanted to know
more about her sister’s life and agreed to follow Myrtle to Pine
Valley.

looked like he had seen a ghost. Kelly and Lincoln grew close, but she
wanted to keep her distance. She new that Lincoln was still grieving her
sister’s death.

up some gigs. Kelly needed Eddie more than she could ever tell anyone.
He was also her dryg supplier. She was taking pills to keep her energy

Lincoln. She was falling in love. Kelly was determined not to allow Lincoln
to know about her habit. But, managing her own career and her addiction
only made her relay on the pills more. In her final performance at The
Chateau, Kelly broke down on stage and admitted her addiction. She looked
Eddie straight in the eyes, and ran out in a rage.
Lincoln found Kelly hours later. Kelly was ready to be rejected; instead,
