Truth (Chim)

Chapter 68

I apologise if you have already seen this but my wattpad keeps telling me I haven't published it so I'm just publishing it again to see if it will work now :)

Katie's POV

"Since when has he had a girlfriend?"

I look at Tillie to see her as confused as me.

I stay quiet because I don't know what to say but it seems that Tillie has enough to say herself.

"I'm gonna kill him, how dare he treat you like that."

"Tillie..."

"Just wait till I get my hands on him."

"Tillie!"

"What?"

"It doesn't matter anymore, I'm not gonna talk to him anymore so let's just forget it."

We both go quiet for a few minutes, Tillie's parents have gone away for the night so I'm sleeping at hers to keep her company.

It couldn't have come at a better time because I needed to talk to Tillie about what had happened with Sam. It was just a coincidence that tonight was New Year's Eve, I was happy because I got to spend New Year's Eve with Tillie but then it also gave Kim and Cheryl some alone time too.

"I'm so sorry. I set you two up."

"It's fine, you didn't know."

I really meant it, Tillie didn't know and I knew she wouldn't have done it on purpose if she knew.

"Did Cheryl and Kim say anything?"

"No, I acted as normal as I could, I didn't want them to know because they would probably freak out and go talk to him which I didn't want them doing."

"Oh I get you, still think it would have been funny to let them at him."

"It would have but I would have never lived it down."

It does quiet as me and Tillie both lean back on her bed, we've spent hours talking like this on many different occasions. We don't need anything else when we are together, the signs of true friendship.

"You know what? Boys suck, you know I think my parents have got it right, maybe I should just date a girl instead."

Tillie laughed at my confession but from the look on her face I could tell that she seemed to be agreeing with me.

"I get what you mean, my last boyfriend was an idiot, girls are much nicer."

"What do you think it's like being with a girl?" I know I can trust Tillie and I bet we are both thinking the same thing.

"I think it would be nice, your both the same."

"Well obviously?" I was confused by what Tillie meant.

"No, I mean like you can sympathise with each other."

"Oh I get you."

"Boys just think about getting some and they don't care how they get it."

We both laugh, now both knowing what Tillie was talking about.

"Anyway it's New Year's Eve, we should be celebrating."

"What? With chocolate?" I indicated to the chocolate around that we have been eating throughout the night.

"No I was thinking more of..." She pulls out a bottle of vodka and a bottle of something else that I'm not sure what it is from underneath her bed. "...How about we try this?"

Cheryl's POV

"Happy new year baby."

"Happy new year Kimba."

It's only now that I realise the time, I didn't realise it was this late already so I lean up and place a kiss on her lips.

We're sat in bed with a bottle of wine and some chocolate, it's been such a nice evening. It started off with a meal that Kimba cooked for us and it finishes off with us cuddling in bed.

This year's been so amazing that part of me didn't want it to end.

I have Katie in my life and this year I found out that the girl of my dreams loves me back.

Kim tightens her hands around my neck and doesn't let me pull away from the kiss, not that I'm complaining.

She lays down and I lay with her so I'm on top of her.

We release our lips but don't move out faces away, our eyes stay connected, our faces inches apart.

"I'm so happy." I don't even realise that I said that out loud until Kimba smile matches mine.

"Me too, I don't think I've ever been this happy."

"Me either, I'm so glad you love me back. I've spent years trying to hide it from you, I thought you would have hated me if you knew."

Tears appear in her eyes but I don't question them because I can feel tears in mine too.

"I could never hate you."

"I thought you would."

"You thought wrong."

She doesn't let me say anything else as she attaches our lips once again. We kiss so slowly and passionately that it almost overwhelms me with the intensity of it.

I know that I don't want to lose her, I want to be doing this exact same thing next year and the many years to come.

I wake up in Tillie's bed with her next to me.

The first thing I notice is how much my head hurts. I raise my hand to my head trying to block out some of the pain but it doesn't work.

As I look around Tillie's room nothing seems out of the ordinary, I just don't remember much about last night.

Then I spot the open bottles on Tillie's desk table.

Alcohol.

Maybe that wasn't such a great idea.

I slowly sit up trying to control the pounding in my head as I try and remember what happened last night.

My movements must have woke Tillie up because the next time I look at her she's moaning into her pillow.

"My head!"

I knew exactly how she felt.

"Same here."

"What did we do last night?"

"I don't know but there was defiantly alcohol."

"No sh*t Sherlock."

Me and Tillie both laughed at our current states but straight away regretted it.

"No, no laughing." It made the pounding in my head hurt even more and suddenly it didn't seem funny anymore.

I slowly stood out of bed and made my way to Tillie's bathroom, as I was walking I noticed my clothes. I was in my pjs, which were shorts and a vest top so at least we did think rationally last night.

Once I get to the bathroom I look at myself in the mirror, my hairs a mess but over all I don't look too bad.

I'm about to turn away until something catches my eye on the side of my neck.

It looks like a bruise.

I can't make it out properly so I turn my head and push my hair out of the way so I'm able to see it clearly.

A hickey.

I have a hickey on my neck.

I quickly move out of the bathroom and back into Tillie's room where she is looking at me quizzically.

"Tillie what the hell happened last night?!"
