Dead Love

Chapter. 9

So Kasey is at my house at the moment and we really haven't said anything to each other since Hannah left. And apparently Kasey heard the whole thing between Hannah and I because she wanted to pay me a visit, and Hannah was here so she just stood aside and watched to see how it went. The little nosey girl she is.

"You wanna go to my house?"
Kasey asked to me while looking at her phone and chewing a piece of gum loudly.

"Sure, lets go."

"My dad is a little bit of a drunk. If he says anything to out of hand, just ignore him."
Kasey said to me while opening her front door. I've never really seen the inside of her house; it was really similar to mine, but her stairs were on the opposite side that mine were at. When we walked in, her dad was sitting in the couch with a freshly opened bottle of beer in his left hand, he notices Kasey and I and his eyebrows suddenly fuse together at me as if he's trying to understand something. I smile at him and he gets up off the couch and walks towards us, kissing Kasey on the head and holding his hand out for a handshake, which a gradually accept.

"Dad, this is my best friend Levi. Levi, this is my dad."
Kasey said with a bored tone while throwing her stuff onto a chair and leaning on it waiting for me.

"Hi sir,"

"Do I know you from somewhere or something? You look so familiar but I just can't seem to put my finger on it.."
Kasey's dad said to me with his eyebrows pushed together trying to study my face.

"No sir, i don't believe I've ever met you before."
I said awkwardly shoving my hands in my pockets and looking at my feet.

Kasey's dad was about the same height as my own dad; he had dark auburn hair and blue eyes that sparkled. I had to admit, her dad did seem oddly familiar, but I put it aside. His eyes were a little glossy from the amount of alcohol he drank, but I could tell he wasn't drunk.

"Are you sure? How old are you if you don't mind me asking,"

"I'm 17."

He shrugs and walks away and says okay, and me and Kasey walk up stairs into her room which was oddly clean; I expected it to be much more messy. Kasey sits down in her bed and sighs while I sit on the other side of her bed and smile; whenever I'm with her I seem to smile a lot more.

"So..."

"What?"
She replied.

I begin to get up and pick up two blankets from her bed and look at Kasey with a smile.

"Wanna go to the roof?"

Kasey nods and instantly gets up, following me up to her roof.

Kasey helped me put the first blanket on the roof so we could lay comfortably on it while getting a good view of the stars above us, sharing the other blanket to keep us warm. It was quite cold out, and it was already pitch black outside by now, the only light coming from street lights and the moon and stars.
I sigh and put my arm closer to Kasey, which she happily accepts my arm as a pillow for her hard head. I smile to myself though as I could feel her body loosen up and relax. Still looking up at the stars then, I begin to speak.

"You can't see my two favorite constellations in the sky right now, but one of them is Libra - the scale. I want to be a leader someday who rules wisely. Who can discern which is the better option."

I'm still staring up at the star-filled sky, but I could tell Kasey turned her head to look at me by the movement her head made on my arm.

"And your other one?"
