Fools

Part 4

Three Days Later.
My break is almost up and I literally feel like I haven't done anything whatsoever. Probably because I really haven't.
I'm laying down on Caspar's bed scrolling through social media when I got a call from my friend Sydney.

"Sydney!!" I yelled. I sat up and smiled even if she couldn't see it.
"Cate! How are you love?" She asked. It felt good to hear her voice. Sydney's one of my bestest friends that I met back at the university. She was one of the first people that ever talked to me there, and that was what, 3 years ago?
"I'm good, I guess. How about you?"
"I'm great. Why are you not great?  What's going on?" She asked. She always was worried about me if I didn't say I was "great", she always puts others first.
"Eh, I don't really know Syd." I got up from the bed and walked back and forth around the room. "There is this guy, my brothers friend, Joe."
"Oo, what happened with you two? Are you guys a thing?" She asked, my stomach started feeling weird.
"Um, no. A few days ago actually, Caspar, was trying to say how he wants us together and when I told Joe about it and how I didn't want to be a thing with him, we haven't talked since." I told her.
"Awe love. Are you sure you don't want to be a thing?"
"I honestly don't know. We haven't really done anything couple type things that you would do. The closest we got was falling asleep next to each other on movie night." I told her.
"So nothing has really happened huh?"
"Nope." I said and fell back onto the bed.
"Well, you remember what happened last time don't you?" She asked. My heart sank thinking about it.
It took me a while to answer but I finally did with a suttle "Yes."
"That must be why Caspar wants you with Joe isn't it?"
"It is actually. Damn, it's almost like you're actually here with me Syd."
"I wish I was love. But hey, remember your worth okay? And Caspar just wants whats best for you, even if it happens to be with his bestfriend. I want the best for you also, because you don't deserve what happened to you last time, and you definitely don't deserve it again."
"I love you Sydney." I said. Sydney is honestly my best friend, she always knows what to say even if she has no idea what the situation is.
"I love you too Cate, see you soon." And with that, I hung up the phone. I set my phone down and thought about everything for a while. I know everyone wants whats best for me, but sometimes even I don't know what is best for me, so when someone else wants that for me, I don't know how to find it. But right now, I need to find Joe and talk to him.

I got up from the bed and walked upstairs to the living room where I figured he'd be.
"Joe?" I said. Someone sat up from the couch and from behind it looked like Joe. But. It was Oli.
"Heyo Cate. Not Joe, But Oli."
"Ugh. Do you know where Joe is?" I asked.
"Wow, don't want to talk to me eh?"
"That's not it Oli, you know that. I just really need to talk to Joe." I told him.
"Well, who says he wants to talk to you? Maybe he wants us to talk." Oli moved closer to me and wrapped his arms around me.
"Oli, what is going on? I really need to find Joe." I laughed.
"Why find Joe, when I'm right here." He inched closer and I could feel his breath hit my lips.
"If I kiss you, will you let me go?" I asked. Oli paused for a second, then nodded his head quickly. I rolled my eyes then grabbed ahold of his face and smashed my lips against his. I made sure it was good one so he'd leave me be. "Now where's Joe?"
Oli was silent. I hit his arm to knock him clean. "Uh. He's uh, go-gone with Casp-par." He finally said.
"Where did they go?"
"No-not sure."
"Ugh fine." I walked away so I could call Caspar and find out where he is. "Hey Oli,"
"Yeah Cate?" He asked.
"It was just a kiss." I winked then finished walking back downstairs to Caspar's room. I didn't even bother to see Oli's reaction to that sentence, I had no feelings towards him whatsoever.

I dialed Caspar's number in hope's he'd answer me quickly. It rung a few times before he actually answered me.
"Hey. Where in the bloody hell are you?!?" I called into the phone.
"Uh, I'm out right now with Joe. Oli is home though." When Caspar said Oli's name I thought about what happened just a few minutes ago with us, he's probably tweeting about it.
"Duh, I fucking know that. When are you and Joe coming home?" I asked.
"Since when are you so concerned?" I rolled my eyes.
"Caspar, I don't have time for your bloody stupid games. I need to talk to Joe, get your ass back home." I said and hung up the phone. I'm not giving any explanation to Caspar at all. I just need to talk to Joe.

That Night.
It's 7pm and they finally fucking came home after hours.

"Where were you two?! I said to come home 5 hours ago!!" I yelled.
"Whoa Cate, calm yourself." Oli added.
"Can it Oli." I snapped, he instantly backed off.
"Well we are here now, what do you need?" Caspar asked. I looked at Joe who looked at me then quickly looked away. I feel like he's still mad at me.
"Joe," He turned and looked at me, he didn't say a word though. "Can I talk to you?" I asked. He paused for a second then nodded slowly.
"Ooo, what do we have here?" Oli said, Caspar and Oli both looked at each other then smirked.
"You guys both make me sick." Joe finally said. Caspar and Oli both kept quiet from Joe's reaction, and I just stood there awkward as hell.

Joe and I went into Joe's room and Joe sat down on his bed. I shut the door behind me then sat down next to him.
"What is it Cate?" He said softly.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For how I acted a few days ago with the whole Caspar shipping us thing."
"Its okay." I'm glad he accepted my apology. "I understand."
"I just, I'm not sure if you even like me or if I like you for that matter. And thinking about it makes me get all weird inside." I said. That probably didn't even make sense, oh god.
"I don't quite know what to say here."
"I mean, do you have feelings for me Joe? I never had an actual chance to ask you."
"I may. I have no idea." He said. "Do you? Have feelings for me?"
"I don't know, I couldn't tell you." He looked down at his hands then back up at me and nodded his head.
"Would you like to find out our answers?" He asked after a while.
"How?"
"Spend the day with me tomorrow." He said. I looked around the room then returned my focus to Joe. I smiled and slowly nodded.
"Okay." I said, a smile appeared on his face.
"Okay." He said back.
