Saving Kate

A Player

TYLERS POV
"Let's have sex."

What the hell?

She must've noticed the bewildered look on my face because she rolled her eyes and told me to sit up.

As I sit up she just sighs and sits down.

"Look I didn't mean to come on so strong, but I haven't had sex in like 2 months. My boyfriend
was on this rant about how all I want is sex so he cut me off. How ironic right? So no one has to know I just need you right now. What do you say?"

Is she joking? Like is she serious?

" no! I'm dating your cousin how could you do that to her?"

"Oh come on just once I need my fix!",she says while practically begging with her hands clenching my shirt.

I a shrug her off the couch and say, "Goodnight Charley."

As she walks up the stairs she whispers," Maybe another night." And I could literally feel her wink from 20 feet away.

KATES POV
"Let's have sex."

I moan as I wake up to hear bickering.

"If this is just Tyler and Dex playing a game or watching YouTube I'm gonna kill them.", I murmur to myself as I get up trying to see what the noise is.

As I peep down the stairs I see Charley and Tyler arguing. Something about how Charley's boyfriend cut her off from something.

"No I'm dating your cousin how could you do that to her?"

And then out of nowhere I see Charley grab onto Tyler's shirt and lean in super close.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Who does this bitch think she is?

I let out a sigh of relief as I see Tyler very abruptly decline.

Thanks babe for not being a backstabbing whore.

As Charley walks up the stairs I run to the room so Tyler won't hear me go straight savage on this hoe.

I don't want him to think I care about him THAT much.

As she starts to slowly open my door and come in I turn on the light and she lets out a little shriek.

"Thanks to my loyal boyfriend that's the only scream you'll be letting out tonight."

She rolls her eyes and says," Let me explain."

"Explain what? How you've been selfish since the day you learned how to say the word "mine"?

"No, explain how I'm trying to prove that Tyler hasn't changed."

"Well he obviously has so even if that was your motive,which I highly doubt,you were wrong so stop."

"No I just need to try when we're alone maybe if there's absolutely no way in hell we'd get caught he'd do it."

I look at her in disbelief "What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you trying to manipulate Tyler into sleeping with you?"

"Because he's a player and he's just gonna break your heart! You always see the best in people but I know him I AM him! I just don't want to see you hurt."

"When have you ever cared about my feelings or life?"

"What do you mean?", she says while running her hands through her hair

"Remember when you had your little pregnancy scare? Remember when you thought your dad would freak out so you put the pregnancy test that was falsely positive in my trash can not caring my dad would see? Well guess who saw it before him? Danny did. He was freaking out and went to my dad crying and saying he was sorry for 30 minutes. So I had to tell my dad me and Danny were having sex. He's never looked at me that way before. He looked at me like his daughter had just died and some new harlet was living in her body. All because you were too scared to put a pregnancy test in your trash can you ruined me and my Dad's relationship significantly."

As she just stares at me in disbelief I go to turn the light off and went to bed.

I wake up to the smell of waffles and suddenly think about Dad and smile thinking that for one second it was him who made them.

"Oh my gosh Charley these waffles smell amazing!"

Well that's ruined.

As I walk downstairs I notice everyone's up except for me.

But no Tyler.

As I go to the waffles they do smell and look so delicious.

"Thanks.", I mumble to Charley as I grab two waffles.

"Where's Tyler?"I ask Dex.

" He went home early this morning.", Charley answers before Dex can even say a word.

I just give her a look that should look like I'm trying to tell her how much of a backstabbing wench she is but I'm guessing by her smirk I wasn't intimidating enough.

"Is everything set up for the funeral?", I ask my Aunt.

"Yes , it should be ready by the time we go up there."

I nod my head and try not to think about what my plans for today.

The funeral is in 3 hours and I have to be there in two.

When we're done eating I start helping Dex put on his suit and as I start fiddling with his tie he starts tearing up.

"Whats wrong?"

"This is really it isn't it? I've been trying to not think about it, but he's really dead. Dads dead."

I pull him in and let him cry on my shoulder and I just can't help but cry with him.

All this keeping it together and being strong for him is bullshit. I needed to show emotion so he didn't think I wasn't hurting.

When he's done I pull him away and look at him. He's so young and innocent. He doesn't deserve to go through this pain.

"Look at me. I know this sucks trust me I know. But I love you and I'm here. So don't ever be afraid to cry okay? It's okay to not be okay."

He just nods his head and let's the tears fall and I fix his tie and let my tears fall as well.

When I go to the room I look at myself. All I see is a mess. Not even a hot one. As I try to flatiron my hair I can't help but think on why I'm fixing my hair in the first place. As it's done and I'm semi-pleased with it I just decide to wear base. No point in putting mascara on.

As I brace myself for what's next I get a text message.
