Why Do You Care About Me? - A Reese Wilkerson Fanfiction

20

Hi guys! Tysm for 1.5K!! I'm going on holiday soon so I'm not sure I'll be able to post chapters for a few weeks! I'll try to write a few and post them later if I can. Enjoy this chapter!!

"Hello?" It was Emma. I hadn't spoken to her since her last phone call. I didn't know what to say really. It was so messed up I hadn't had the brain capacity to think of what to do yet.

"Yeah." I was so done.

"When are you going to explain yourself?"

"What?"

"Ugh... You're being such a cunt about this." She spat.

"What? How?" What the actual fuck is she on about?

"Why did you call Zoe's hair a rat tail once?" That was a FUCKING year ago.

"Because she had like a few strands of hair at the back and that's just called a rat tail and I was trying to fix it for her." It was true, as stupid as it sounded.

"So you did?"

"Yes, but not rudely. I didn't mean it like that but like I'm sorry if it upset her."

"Why can't you just fucking admit it?" What did I just fucking do? "And remember when you called Zoe's top ugly?"

"No?"

"You're such a fucking liar." I was the bad one if I admitted it, I was the bad one when I couldn't remember?

"Well I don't remember, I'm sorry." 

"I do. And so does Zoe."

"Okay... I don't, but if I did, I'm sorry." How many times will my fucking ass apologise. I was pathetic and I knew it.

"Why the fuck can you not just admit it?"

"Because I can't remember!" Jesus, like talking to a fucking wall.

"We're fucking done." She hung up. I felt sick. I still didn't know if it was her in the wrong or me. But then it's two against one, so the one that's in the wrong usually gets ganged up on. My chest felt unhealthily heavy. I didn't want to even think about it. Lock it away, because I don't even know how to approach a problem like that. It hadn't gotten me very far in the past, since not thinking about stuff sadly didn't cause it to disappear and stop happening, but I didn't really have a better option.

I slumped down on the sofa next to Kaiya (it was a mystery where the rest of my siblings were), trying to calm down my heart rate,  and turned the Tv on. We watched the movie that was on for a while when a random question popped into my head.

"Kaiya?"

"What?" She snapped, not taking her eyes off the screen.

"What really happened with you and Malcolm?" 

"I'm not telling."

"What... Did you two go out or something?"

"Fuck no." She spat. I'd never seen her more disgusted.

"What was it then? I won't tell anyone." She finally looked at me and bit her lip.

Just then there was a knock at he door.

I bounced up and went to open. It was Reese. I hugged him tightly, just to make sure he was really there. He hugged me back, then gently kissed my cheek, which made me feel like I was over the moon.

"Bye Kaiya!" I said without another thought about her. 

Today me and Reese discovered a quiet, ankle deep lake surrounded by trees, after exploring a lot of fields and forests. The clear water shimmered in the sun, just begging you to go in. We did, and we hadn't expected it to be that cold. We spent most of the time laying in the sunny patches of grass as we watched the water, talking. It felt, and looked like heaven. This was our spot now.
