Our Little Past (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5: Ordinary Sunday... NOT

Chapter 5

   Nothin' much today on a Sunday, like I said before, Charry's gone. But I need to get to church right now, the mass starts at 10:30 AM. I better get dressed up. I chose my hanging shirt with the words, "Follow Your Heart" on it and a floral undergarment, together with some denim shorts and white Keds. I grabbed my iPhone and checked the clock, it was 10:00 AM. I decided to get there early 'cause it was just a walking distance; at the community hall.

    Once I got there, I took a seat and the right side, 3rd row. I opened my phone to check if there were any sent messages by Charry. It's been like, 3 days, with no reply. I'm getting worried a bit.... but never mind that now, she must be busy or something.

    I sat on my seat, waiting for the mass to start until somebody occupied the space beside me, it was my old friend Kat! Gosh, it's been a long time since I've seen my 'park friend' (more like 'park best friend'). Wow she grew older alright! She's 19 right now I think, might as well ask.

    "Uhm, hi there Kat!" I greeted.

    "Hi there Aria! It's been a really long time." she smiled back.

    "Wow, you definitely look a little older now! I mean, not to insult but, the last time I saw you, you were like, 17 or something. So you're uhm, 19 now?"

    "Yah I am 19. So uh, you're graduating this year right?"

    "Yep."

    "Oh it's been a very long time indeed. And you right now, you must be 15 or 16."

    "I'm 15 right now, turning 16 on... December 10."

    "Okay, so uhh, where do you live? Well, just wanted to know."

    "Oh alone in my flat here, but my parents are looking for someone to stay with me or a friend could stay with me 'cause you know, I'm just 15, I need to at least be 18 to live alone but, it's actually better to stay with my forever roomie. LOL." I told her giggling a little bit. But why would she ask that though....

~Kat's POV~

    Did she just mention, living alone and looking for someone to stay with? OMG, I think she found her, and that person is me. I'm being abused by the new owners of my parents' house ever since they died. I've been living in the same old stupid room under the stairs (I know, how ironic it is to live like Harry Potter), but this might be my chance to live as a free person, free from all abuse, free from being their freakin' maid (living a life like Cinderella, I can't take so much irony!) and free from their evil souls!

    Breathe in, breathe out.

    Just ask her!

    Alright, alright. Calm, 'cause I'm just your self conscience.

    Yah, more like the calmer version, just take risks like before ok?!

    Ok, ok. Go ahead and ask her, I'll be waiting for your response. And if I'm right, ha ha I told you so, you should've calmed yourself first.

    I am calm! I'll just ask her now, can't take abuse from my self conscience too.

    "So, uh, i-i-if you're wondering why I u-u-uh asked you, it's because," I said hearing my voice crack from unexpected shyness,

    "Because???" she asked me to continue,

    "Well, it's really hard to say this but,"

    I told you, you weren't calm at all.
