Small Things - Kate Martin

Part 2 Should've Said It

Caitlin wanted to hang out more. With everyone. That she could do. That's what she's been doing, but with Kate one on one.

Well not really. She couldn't look at her best friend in the eyes. She feels like she betrayed her. All because she doesn't know about you and Caitlin.

"CC why do I feel like you are avoiding me?" The brunette just shrugs and keeps walking into the gym. They are heading to shoot around before practice. "It's been weeks since you talked with Jada and Y/n. Everytime I've asked you to hang out you say no. Why?"

"Kate it's not that deep."

"But it is. You've been avoiding me."

"Not really."

"We've only been hanging out in group settings."

"It's just better that way."

"How?"

"It's just is Kate." She rolls her eyes and continues walking ahead of her teammate. They keep arguing until Kate asks.

"Do you not like that I'm dating Y/n or something?"

"Yes." She says and hears Kate stop in her tracks. Quickly she tries to do damage control. "Fuck. No." She turns and Kate looks shocked. "Kate wait.... Not like that." She runs her hands through her hair. "Look we can talk about it after practice."

"Do you not like her? Like I'm confused." She looks at her co-Captain in disbelief. Everyone adored you and it appeared Caitlin did too. So what didn't she like? "Is it just us? Together?"

"No Kate please don't make me explain right now." They hear your team in the gym. Caitlin looks in your direction and it hits Kate like a truck.

"No tell me. Tell me what it is." Caitlin looks at her best friend and she knows her longing looks finally got her caught up.

"I..... I uhhhh can we talk about this in the locker room." She asks as she looks around. It so many people swirling around. Kate starts walking again ahead of her co-captain missing you waving at her. Caitlin hangs her head in shame as she follows.

She is hoping and praying she didn't just sabotage your relationship. More than her friendship. She starts picking at her nails badly. You notice as they are walking to the locker room Kate looks slightly upset. More so confused.

Caitlin looked like she was ashamed. You don't think much about it as Jada, Molly, Kennise, Hannah and AJ come over bothering you and your teammates.

"Come play knockout with us?" They invite you guys over.

Kate and Caitlin both get dressed before even trying to talk again. Caitlin scouts out a somewhat  private place to talk.

"Are you mad?" Caitlin asks.

"Well I don't know anything. I'm not going to assume and be wrong. So tell me why you don't like me dating her." Kate just wants to have some understanding. Her mind isn't even thinking about you cheating or the worst.

"Because you are in the place that I was once in but I fucked it up. We were freshman. I had or have commitment issues so things were going good until I sabotaged everything with 3 words. I wanted her more than anything..."

"But you didn't show it?" The younger girl shakes her head. You told Kate the story. You said it was a lot of miscommunication. Taught you a lot but probably one of your worse heartbreaks. She never knew it was Caitlin. You spoke so highly of this person.

But you shared how your mental health took a major hit. Kate started talking with you while you were low. She was in no rush.

"I love her Kate, but I'm not in love with her. I guess that's what I've been telling myself. It just hurts. I never really accepted that she's going to move on. She's perfect in every way. So you two announcing you were together... I don't know..... it was like...." The point guard fiddles with her fingers.
