2/18/15 • Short Story

Let me tell you a short story of a girl and a boy. The boy was born first, his name was Ryan. He was only two when his parents took him to see his parents friends who had just had their first baby, a girl named Kate. A year later Ryan became an older brother to a boy named Jason. And Kate, Ryan and Jason grew up together.

Kate was always in charge, despite being the smallest and not the oldest. Ryan was always her protector, and Jason was always happily stuck being the evil perpetrator. That was, until Kate got two siblings. Then they had to learn to adapt to having five instead of only three.

Even with that they still played outside, swimming or climbing in the forts. They played strange games on the trampoline and rode bikes and scooters. They played cops, trains, Castle, anything. But they always where running away from Kate's siblings. But sometimes they couldn't escape.

Now, Kate's little sister loved playing house. And so, Kate was stuck playing house with Meg. And being the evil girl she was she dragged Ryan and Jason into it. Ryan always was the father, since he was oldest. Kate was the mother because she was second oldest. The rest where children who Kate would send to school and make food for.

But as years passed times spent together grew sparse. They saw each other less and less but still called each other siblings. They played more mature games, jumped on trampolines, swam in pools, shot each other with nerf guns and fell asleep on couches together only to find their parents had taken pictures of them.

They stayed the night at each other's house and played tag in the dark. They went trick or treating together and Ryan was always Kate's body guard. Then Kate turned 12. And she began to feel butterflies when Ryan would say "I love you" before leaving each time she saw him. But, he was only "family"..

So much had happened between them but Kate couldn't help but realize how cute Ryan was. And how caring and dorky. But she had to deny that she liked him. She knew he would never like her back, even though she had always loved him.

Two years later, after only seeing him about twice a year, when he had just turned sixteen a few months ago...her best friend began talking to him. She figured out that yes, he had feelings for Kate! Kate couldn't believe that her crush liked her back! And not long after he asked her out.

She was the happiest girl alive. And despite their quarrels she loved the cute moments he had. Being hugged by him, his kisses, everything about him.

But then, he said he couldn't be with her. Claimed he was a monster and that he needed time to figure things out. But he would be back, in a year or two. Kate's friends where skeptical and she was weary but she let go.

But not two weeks later, Ryan kissed Kate's friend and someone saw. And they told Kate, and it broke her heart. Now Kate is alone, and broken. She suffers every day, trying not to cry...

And nothing helps, even as others try to reach her. She is falling and nothing seems able to stop her.
