Loving Someone

Love Me (24)

Chapter 24: "Love Me" - Love Me, The 1975 (I think everyone was high during this...)

Kiera's POV:

Linsta and I have been in touch lately and have been visiting each other here and there. But I am really worried about Kat.

Ever since the pop-up shop with The 1975, she hasn't been herself. She would seem so spaced-out and I don't even know if she's listening to me. Her eyes look empty as she stares out into nothing.

"Hey, are you alright?", I ask her during lunch, sitting on our favorite bench.

She doesn't look at me but nods her head. I sigh, "Kat, if there's something wrong, you know you can tell me anything".

She huffs and rolls her eyes. "I'm not depressed. Stop acting like I'm going to kill myself", she says flatly.

I look up at her in surprise and scoff, "Um.. okaaay then...". I give her a look and begin to pack my stuff. I don't want to eat with someone this grumpy. I take out my phone to ask Linsta if she wants to meet up for lunch.

She was lucky enough to have a two week Spring Break while we only have one. She lives close by but she goes to a private school so that's why I've never seen her before.

She texts back and says sure.

We meet up at Mcdonalds which was a fifteen-minute walk from my school.

"Hey!", she says smiling. I smile back and reply, "Hey!", trying to sound just as enthusiastic.

Apparently, I didn't do so well because she asks, "What's wrong? You don't seem like yourself today".

Unlike Kat, I actually reply. "Kat has been acting up lately. She's been so distant with me and she usually tells me everything. She never comes to school looking like this and I'm worried. I tried talking to her but she just snaps back. I've never seen her like this.", I sigh. I ran my hands through my tangled hair in stress.

Linsta looks and me and frowns. "Does she have any family issues?", she asks. I scoff at the question, thinking back on my family.

"No, I met her parents and they seem nice. I just don't think that's the problem", I tell her.

She nods her head and suddenly she claps her hands in excitement. I look at her incredulously but she just smiles and says, "Common. Let's take your mind off things and talk about something fun".

I smile in relief and laugh, "Ok!".

~~~

We bought a twenty piece chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce (yeah I don't like BBQ...) and two medium iced hazelnut coffee.

We talked multiple times through text but it was 100% better in real life. To hear her laugh and to see her smile. I'm just happy she doesn't say "Lool" because she has nothing else to say. We find each other funny and I need that in my life. She listens and understands me. She makes me laugh and we share so many things in common. We make jokes about our favorite band, and for once, I'm happy.

Don't get me wrong. Kat always made me happy. We are best friends. But she was the only person I knew my whole life. Of course, I'm going to meet other people. Sure Kat and I get in fights but we always get back together. But I know she isn't for me.

"Alright I think I should be going", I tell Linsta, looking at the time.

She pouts but stands up. "Alright. You want me to walk you back to school?", she asks.

I smile and say, "I'm going to be late! If we walk and talk it's going to take me thirty minutes to arrive and I only have twenty!".

She rolls her eyes playfully and says, "That's only a ten-minute gap".

I laugh knowing that ten minutes do make a difference. But I decided to take a chance and walk with Linsta for a while.

"So... um are you and Kat dating?", Linsta asks out of the blue.

I gape at her in surprise. "I... um.. No!", I stutter.

She laughs at my reaction. "Oh! Ok. I just thought... I mean you guys seem pretty close", she says, her cheeks getting read.

I try looking into her eyes to see her reaction but she wouldn't look at me.

I decided to ask her a question. "So uh... are you dating anyone?", I ask her, hoping I don't sound desperate.

Her blush deepens and she shakes her head. "It's hard to find someone who loves me. Because that person has to be a girl".
