Aftermath.

//Ahhh sorry for not updating since last year omg. Tbh I kinda forgot about this but I was receiving some comments to post another chapter so here ya go :)//

Kate's P.O.V.

The blaring sun woke me from my sleep. Hundreds of white birds flew in the air above me. One had stood just inches from my feet. I felt around me for my keys that I fell asleep with on my stomach. I noticed the seagull had something jingling in its mouth as it began to walk away. 

"Hey! My keys!" I yelled as it ran away. I jumped up and ran after it. I was so into the moment that I didn't even notice that new people had entered the beach. The angry bird was now sprinting through the people and squawking loudly at them. 

My entire body was covered in sand and my hair was full of leaves. I looked like a psycho chasing a seagull around the beach. Finally, the bird dropped the keys and flew off into the air. Angrily, I grabbed the keys and ran to my car. Looking in the mirror, I understood why the many strangers were staring.

Tom's P.O.V.

She hadn't answered her phone all night. Emma had called me when Kate never came over. We had repeatedly tried to reach her all night. It must have been 7 a.m. before I fell asleep. Now, it was nearly noon. Timber and I had been sitting on the couch in silence all morning waiting for a call. The lack of sleep was finally getting to me around 3. My eyelids could barely stay open and eventually I stopped fighting to stay awake.

Kate's P.O.V.

I looked down at my phone to see all of the hundreds of missed calls, texts, and voicemails from Emma and Tom. Sorrow filled my body as I thought about the previous night. My reasoning for fleeing last night probably wouldn't be justifiable considering Tom would never actually cheat on me. Tom would be furious with me when I returned home. It was now almost 4 in the evening. I had never slept so late, even for a Saturday morning. Although I was fearful of returning home and receiving my consequences for my actions, I reluctantly began driving home.

I pushed my key into the lock and opened the door slowly. Timber's paws skidded across the wooden floor and he jumped into my arms. He almost knocked me over but I quickly caught myself on the door. The loud commotion must have woken Tom up because I quickly saw his head pop up from the couch. My presence gave him solace and he instantly jumped up. I set Timber back on the ground and rushed into Tom's arms. I knew he was enraged but in that moment, the only thing I felt was pure serenity.

Tom's P.O.V. 

Our limbs entwined with each others' and she nuzzled her head into my chest. We stood there for a long while and then she pulled back her head, revealing small droplets dripping from her eyes. I wiped away the tears and gazed at her. Her hair was in a knotty mess and her makeup smeared. She looked down at the floor. I touched her chin with my thumb and gently lifted her head up. "What happened?"
