Kawaii's POV
When we got to my house Garroth left me alone to talk to my mom. I walked inside and started to walk into my room. "Kawaii Delaware Nekoette." I rolled my eyes. I continued walking until she grabbed my shoulder and whipped me around to face her. "What is wrong with you Kawaii?!" Her face full of concern and anger. I looked at her angrily. "Oh, nothing is wrong mother. Just the fact that Dad died a year ago and you know I'm still getting over it yet you go and date!" I yelled at her. She was speechless. "It's only been a year mom! Did you ever LOVE him?!" I yelled at her. I ran up the stairs to my room. I slammed the door and locked it. I felt hot tears on my cheeks and wiped them away. Then I checked my phone. I had a text from VR.
VR- Hey.
K- Hey...
VR- Are you okay K?
K-Not really. I got into and argument with my mom.
VR- Is it about that?
K- Yeah. I never thanked you for everything VR. Thanks for being my only friend through this.
VR- Your welcome but don't change the subject. Are you okay from the argument?
K- Not really. Talking about my dad is sensitive. Especially when it's asking if she ever loved him.
VR- I wish I was there to give you a hug or something. There was a lot of drama here. Someone had come over and then their daughter left her and then my brother went after her. He came back smiling.
K- Oh, that sounds nice 😂
VR- Yeah, I wanted to meet the people kind of.
K- Oh wow. VR finally has a soul. Just kidding
VR- I hate you
K- You know you love meh
VR- Okay I do but I got to go, my brother is trying to see who I'm texting. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
K- Okay, bye VR
I put my phone down, only to see I had a text from Laurance. Oh Gosh, does he know about me and Garroth? I decided to check it.
L- Hey
K- Hey Laurance
K- Are you okay?
K- You looked hurt and mad earlier
L- I- I'm fine. I just didn't like that Garroth interrupted me.
K- I'll talk to him
I went to text Garroth.
K- Does Laurance know?
K- And he doesn't like that you interrupted him. I'm not saying it to be mean, just his words.
G- Oh crap, he doesn't and I'll apologize. I don't know if I should tell him.
K- Why not? He needs to know.
G- Yeah....
K- Well I'm texting him now want me to tell him I said sorry?
G- Yeah. I need to tell him about us though.
K- Okay
I went back to text Laurance.
K- Garroth said he's sorry
L- I forgive him.
K- Okay
L- Are you okay?
K- Yeah, I just got into an argument with my mom.
L- Oh. What about?
K- M-my dad
L- Oh I'm SO sorry. I didn't know
K- okay, you didn't know
L- Okay I gtg, I have to eat and then take a shower and then go to sleep. Night
K- Night
I saw that I had a text from Travis.
T- Baby I want you back.
K- Get over yourself Travis. You just want my body to make other girls jealous. And I'm not single so back off.
T- I will fight to get you back Kawaii
K- Get over yourself. Bye Travis
I couldn't believe myself. Why do I have such an attitude all of a sudden? I realized that I was angry at myself. I started crying. "Kawaii?" My mom said through the door. "What mom," I said wiping away tears. "Someone is at the door for you." I unlocked my door and walked downstairs. When I opened the door there stood Laurance. He had dad eyes and looked on the brink of tears. "Oh my God. Are you okay Laurance?!" I was really worried. He looked at me and shook his head. " What's wrong?" I was really concerned. "My friend asked out the girl I am In love with." I looked at him and gave him a bear hug. "I'm so sorry Laurance!" I started to cry, realizing what he meant. I say sat down and put my head in my knees. "I'm so so sorry." I kept repeating that to him. Wait, did he say he was in love with me? "Oh my Gosh. Laurance, did you just say what I think you said?" He nodded. I hitched a breath. I couldn't move. I was frozen in place thinking of what he just said. I felt like hell had froze over. "L-Laurance..." I was stopped by him pulling me into a kiss. I pushed him away lightly. "I'm so sorry...if I knew I would have....this is all my fault..." I started crying. Why me?! I couldn't take it. I started running. I ran as far as the road would take me. I had no general direction I just ran. I kept running. All of a sudden my body stopped. I was at Travis' house. Why am I here?! I walked up to the front door. I knocked lightly and his mom came to the door. She opened it and smiled. "Hi sweetie, are you here to see him?" She asked making an angry face saying him. "Yes ma'am," I said nodding. She went upstairs. Next thing I knew Travis was standing in front of me. "Travis?" He looked confused. "Come in," he said. "Why are you here?" He asked. "I-I don't know. I was running from everything and I ended up here." He hugged me. "Come on, you can tell me everything in my room." He grabbed my wrist lightly and led me to his room. He sat down on his bed and motioned to sit next to him. I sat down and immediately broke down. He rubbed my back in comfort. "Now what happened?" He asked. "You, my mom, Garroth, Laurance...my life was screwed up." I looked up at him. He looked sympathetic. And it was a truthful sympathy, not the lie to get the girl sympathy. "You want me back and I don't know if you have for sure changed, I don't want my heart torn to shreds again. My mom is dating and never loved my dad truthfully. Garroth asked me out and I said yes. Then Laurance came and said he loves me. What do I do Travis?" I asked tears coming from my eyes faster than usual. "I don't know Kawaii. But I have changed. I realized how much I love you and how much it hurts to see you cry. How much it hurts that I broke your heart. I don't know what I can do, seeing you with Garroth is gonna hurt. I deserve it. I love you Kawaii." I looked into his eyes. All I saw was truth and love. I leaned on him. He hugged me. "I don't know what to do.... this is all my fault Travis... I didn't think of how others felt. I didn't think about you might've changed. I'm just a horrible person. I should just leave here. Not be around the people I love. That way I can't hurt anyone." He lifted up my head and looked into my eyes. "Now Kawaii, you should NEVER say or do that. No one could beat knowing that you were somewhere and they couldn't help you." He kissed my forehead. "Here, I'll walk you home." He got up and put out his hand. I took it and he led me outside. We walked to my house in silence. When we got to my front door, I hugged him. "Thank you Travis." He smiled. "Your welcome baby." I walked inside. I guess I have to get used to that. I laughed. When I walked into the living room, Garroth and Laurance were both standing there looking worried. They both stepped forward. I sighed and a tear slipped down my cheek. "Where were you?" Garroth asked. Laurance stepped forward. "Why did you run? Where did you go?" I nodded to both of them. "Nowhere. Now if you don't mind, it's both of your fault that I am crying," I said feeling tears rushing down my cheeks. "If you would excuse me, I have to sleep." I started to walk away and Laurance grabbed my hand. "No. You can't leave like that. Where did you go and why are you crying. " I looked at him and Garroth. "I went to talk to someone and I'm crying because everyone loves me but all I'm doing is hurting them. I'm doubting people and I'm stabbing people in the heart and twisting the knife." I sat in the corner. I put my face in my hands. I could feel them by me in a second. "Kawaii. Stop!" I jumped in surprise. Garroth yelled at me. I was scared. "Stop what?" I asked in a small voice. "Stop this. I love you so much and nothing can change that. You're not hurting me. I'm fine." I looked at him sarcastically. "Not you. I'm hurting Travis, Laurance, my mom, VR. I'm hurting them. Im not hurting you because I'm with you." I got up and walked to my kitchen. I grabbed an apple. I started eating it. "Who's VR?" They both asked. "A friend. We met online." I looked at them both. "And how are you hurting him?" I looked at Garroth. "I'm hurting him by being his friend. I'm not meeting him, I'm not going out there to see who he is and to thank him. I'm not being the friend he should have through that." Garroth raised and eyebrow. Laurance stopped. "How are you hurting Travis?" I looked at him sadly. "The same way I'm hurting you Laurance." I looked down. Where is my mom? "Have you seen my mom?" I asked looking at them. Garroth nodded. "She went on a date with her boyfriend." I cringed. I turned mad. I stalked upstairs to my room and picked up my phone. I looked at it. I had a text from VR.
VR- Hey
K- Hey
VR- I got into a fight again
K- With who?
VR- A guy named Gene
I stopped. Gene? Was VR in Phoenix Drop?
K- Where do you live?
VR- uhhh Phoenix Drop.
K- OMI
VR- What

VR- Okay?
I went downstairs. I looked at them. "Can I talk to you tomorrow? I have to sleep. Night." I shut the door behind them. I ran upstairs and laid down. After thinking for a while I fell asleep.
