Loving Someone

Don't call it a fight when you know it's a war (27)

Chapter 27: "Don't call it a fight when you know it's a war" - The City, The 1975

Kiera's POV:

Kat's eyes twinkle in happiness as she looks back at Jace. I glare at her and she catches my eye. I begin walking towards them as her smile falters.

Jace wraps his arms around her protectively and I roll my eyes.

"I just need to talk to Kat privately", I tell them, still giving them my death stare.

"What you tell me, you can tell him", Kat says, standing her ground.

I scoff and hold back an eye roll. "Seriously?", I laugh.

This time it was her turn to give me the death stare. "Look, Kiera, I get we are best friends and best friends stick to the end but why can't you just be happy for me?", she asks, annoyed.

"Because!", I shout, pointing towards Jace. "Can't you just be happy with someone else other than him?".

Jace gulps and slightly backs away. That's right.

But Kat pulls him back and says, "He did some horrible things, yes, but I can't just hold grudges my whole life".

I raise an eyebrow. "Right. So you forgive him for what happened to your brother?".

She clenches her fists together tightly and I see tears in her eyes. "You have no right to speak about my brother".

"AND HE DOES?!", I ask incredulously.

I see Kat's eyes filled with tears that are about to spill as she whispers to Jace, "I think you should leave".

He gives her a look as if he didn't believe her before he blinking and starts walking away.

When he was out of reach, she looks at me, tears finally falling.

"Look. I get that you don't like his past and to be honest I didn't either. But when we reunited today, I felt something I haven't before in a long time. And I'm sure you felt the same way with Linsta. I'm so happy for you so why can't you be too? I get that he did some bad things but everyone has right? He changed. It took a long time for me to realize that but he really did. I guess it was easier to hate him my whole life than love him and try to work things out. But now, I'm willing to make things work with him. We have been best friends forever and whatever we do, we can't change the past. Hating him, loving him, will never change the fact my brother is dead. Yes, maybe hating him will 'redeem' my brother but that's not what he wanted. Nothing can make up what happened", Kat says, looking directly into my eyes. I open my mouth but she cuts me off, "Kiera I have known you liked me for a long time. But seeing you with Linsta, I think you are happier. She really does love you and all you need to do is let me go". Her beautiful blue eyes were shimmering like diamonds.

"Let- let you go?", I whimpered. I feel hot tears rolling down uncontrollably. "What do you mean?".

She holds my hands tightly and whispers, "You need to forget about me. You need to let me go. It's like a magnet Kiera. Around me, you will always want to be with me. But if we are separate, you will find someone else to be attached to... like Linsta".

I clench my jaw tight. "You just want me to leave so you won't have to deal with me and you can have Jace all for yourself", I spit at her, bitterly.

She doesn't even flinch but her eyes seem to soften. "When you were with Linsta, did you ever think about me?", she asks, knowing the answer.

I think back to realize she was right. "But- but that doesn't mean we have to be separated", I say, clenching hard on her wrists.

There we stood, on a clear day, with uncontrollable tears rolling down on our cheeks. It almost felt like rain. "It won't last long. I mean after you and Linsta get really close and start having a real relationship, we can probably see each other again". She pulls me into a hug as I lay my head on her shoulders. "The only thing holding you back from Linsta is me. And the only thing holding me back from Jace is you. I just think we need a break".

That's when I hear the sirens.
