Sparks Fly - 9

"Theres nothing you can do or say,

youre gonna break my heart anyway.

so leave the pieces when you go."

[9]

we sat at bahama bucks with our slushies, basking in the sun. it was almost fall, and surprisingly hot outside. Sonny, Alexis and I had decided to spend our weekend as if it was summer. we went tanning, swam in Sonny's pool, then hit up the snow cone bar down the street. School had been hell. Rumors spreaded, but they werent about me of course. I had to watch Yale and Kathy kiss face all the time. It was horrible. I especially felt bad for Kathy though. i know i wasnt the only one who ever noticed the only time Yale and her were together was when he wanted physical attention, and you could easily tell he didnt like her. Asshole.

When i arrived home i walked up stairs and into my bedroom, and heard sobs right outside my door. to my surprise i found a crying, miserable Kathy in my room. Anger flashed across my face for asecond before i became sympathetic. I immediately hugged her, sitting on the bed next to her and wrapping my arms around her shoulders as she sobbed.

"He broke up with you." Was all i said. i already knew this would happen. he used girls and here was Kathy, witnessing what had just happened. she should of known better. I was still pissed at Kathy, and i didnt trust her at all, but she had been my friend for years. I wasnt going to desert her. Id stand by her when she needed me because that was what friends did, and i loved this girl with all of my heart.

"Im sorry.. i just didnt know who to go to. everyone hates me. i cant take it. my life is... so horrible. im so sorry Morrison. Im so sorry. He liked you. thats why he did it. he didnt think you liked him so he wanted to make you jealous. show some kind of emotion to prove you liked him. then he realized he made a mess of things and broke up with me because he couldnt get you." She let everything out, crying even harder as she admitted. "I shouldnt of done it... buti liked him too. i couldnt help it. Youve tried so hard not to become one of his girls who just get thrown away, and in the end he just wanted you. I just wanted him to want me. Im the one whos never turned him away. and then i got the chance, and i realized he wasnt worth it. i gave up my reputation, my happiness... i gave up you, just to be with a boy who was nothing but a little school girl crush. im sorry. you have no idea how sorry i am."

"Kat, im never going to be able to trust you anymore. i didnt care that Yale had another girl on his arm, i cared that it was you. of anyone.. and i had told you i had liked him; if you wouldve told me you like him i wouldve understood. i really wouldve. youre not my best friend anymore, youre not even my friend, but you will always be my sister, and nothing can ever change that. I love you so much." Tears began to flood from my eyes, my mascara running, as i sat there and cried for i dont know how long with Kathy.

"Im so sorry. you have no idea how sorry i am." We sat there crying for i dont know how long before we dried our tears. it was 11 pm. We decided to talk things over at ihop and sat at a table talking to eachother about life and where we stood.

"I see you too are friends agsin." i looked up to see the smirking face of the one and only Yale Collins, followed by his many friends. I immediately stood up from my

seat.

"Come on Kath, lets go to Dennys." She stood up after me.

"Come on mittens, why so hostile?"

"because somebody needs a reality check. You can not treat girls the way you treat them. you need to grow up and stop playing with people. its gooing to get you no where in life. stop fucking with people. stop fucking with my friends, and definately dont mess with me. I want you out of my life." I lashed out at him. he stared at me with a hurt expression, not sure what to say now at this point. i didnt even wait for his reply before grabbing Kathy's hand and stomping out of ihop.

The door opened behind us. "Wait Morrison!"

I ignored him. and opened my car door.

that night I realized that no guy would ever get in the way of a friendship as long as i could help it.
