To Know You ║ Kate Martin

Too quiet

Kai | UConn

We got back from vegas yesterday, and the first thing I was dragged to was a party. Now here I am, lying on my bathroom floor after drinking a whole bottle of whatever the fuck I grabbed from a cabinet, at 3am.

"Shit, Kai," Aubrey says, pulling my hair away from my face and putting it in a very messy ponytail.

"Thank you, Aubrey!" I managed to say. The feeling of my guts burning was making me stutter on my words.

"I'll call Azzi and Paige, my girlfriend is home so I need to go, okay?" Aubrey whispers, not wanting my head to hurt.

"Ok," I pouted, closing my eyes for a seconds which made her worry a bit till I opened my eyes again.

"Hey, Kai needs help,"

"Say hi to Paige," Aubrey puts the phone near my mouth and I was able to somehow let out the tiniest hi.

"Ok, bye, thank you," Aubrey hangs up and puts her phone in her jeans.

She sits next to me making sure I'm fine as Paige and Azzi drives over to my apartment.

A few minutes of me throwing up in my toilet, and Aubrey holding my hair back, Azzi and Paige walk into the room.

"My baby," I said, hugging Azzi's legs as she laughs a bit and says hello.

Paige and Aubrey were talking in my room while Azzi joins me on my bathroom floor.

"She's never like this," Paige says, looking at Kai who was hopelessly leaning on Azzi, "she wouldn't tell me why she drank so much or at least to this point," Aubrey explained.

Aubrey finally left after grabbing her stuff which left Kai with Azzi and Paige.

"I have a shirt for you," Paige says, kneeling on the floor to hand Kai her shirt. "But I look nice in this one," the brunette whined, shaking her head.

"You look nice in any shirt," Azzi says which somehow convinced Kai to give in and happily raised her arms.

"Let's get this one off," Azzi pulled of the black tank top off of the brunette as Paige put the UConn shirt on her.

"I'll get her some more water," Azzi stood up and left the brunette and blonde. "Hi," Kai managed to open her eyes to get a glimpse of the blonde who currently had her hair down and was wearing a halloween onesie.

"Hi, come here," the blonde reached for the brunette who took a few seconds to snuggle close into Paige's arms.

Azzi walked in and was in awe of the view. She quietly handed Paige the bottle of water to which she easily opened and handed to Kai who took the smallest sip and handed it back to Paige.

Azzi sits on the bedroom floor, across from the bathroom door, looking at the two. "What happened?" Paige asked, caressing the brunette's hair.

"She likes someone," said Kai. "And it's not me."

"You know, it took her getting to see me again for her to realize she actually doesn't like me," Kai smiled in defeat. Paige and Azzi felt a different type of pain. Kai never let anyone know that she was feeling down and hurt, so when she ends up doing all of this — getting drunk — they knew it was bad.

"Georgia said I was easy to love if people took the time to know me," Kai paused, clearing her throat. "But I guess that's only when someone considers that you're worthy of their time."

Paige looks back at Azzi who had the same sad look on her face.

"She's blonde too, like her ex, and her other ex," Kai moved a bit to lay her head on Paige's shoulder.
