A/n: Yo! Here's the new chapter! I hope you guys like it! It's gonna contain some of Travis's POV because this is still a Tratie fic; I need to have some Travis in here too!
Cussing and bad words ahead!
------------------------------------------------------------
Travis's POV:
"Is she asleep?" I asked Connor as we walked.
"Yup." Connor frowned and looked up at me. "Travis, is that true? Has everything we've ever done and said to her been shitty things?"
"I don't know honestly. What we think is funny may be a tragedy to someone else. Same could be said for Katie-Kat. Maybe this whole time our pranks on her have been hurting instead of making her laugh. And if that is the case, then I'll apologize like it's the last time I'll speak to her."
"Travis, you like her don't you."
I stayed quiet.
"Holy shit you do! You're blushing!" Connor smiled.
"And so what if I do? You're acting as if you don't like Miranda."
That shut him up. It's not a very well known fact-unless you're a Hermes or Aphrodite kid-that I like Katie and Connor likes Miranda. I can tell anyone the first day I started liking Katie with perfect detail, but I won't. I've only kept it to myself.
"Travis, do you think she likes me back? Even just a little?" Connor asked.
Connor is self-conscious about how others see him. It all started when he started getting bullied at our middle school. Since I was always a grade above him, I couldn't be there when they were bullying him. I told our mom and she stopped it, but the damage was done and Connor wasn't the same. He questions if people like him all the time and I hate it. He doesn't see how great people he loves and cares about really think he is. He usually likes to cope alone because he thinks the people we hang with hate him.[*1]
"Connor, she likes you. You've been friends since the first year you met." I reassured him.
"But friends can leave!"
"Yeah, but true friends stay. I'm here too, Connor. I'm your brother, you can't get rid of me easily." I smiled at him. Connor smiled back. There's no way in Hades that I'll ever let him get rid of me.
"Thanks, bro."

The sun was setting when we got to Samuel's house which I don't even think is a house, maybe a mansion. Peter knocked on the door and Samuel opened it, smiling.
"Hey folks, welcome to my house. The rooms are in through here. I have five rooms that can be used, all with their own bathrooms and furniture at the ready. The rent is just for the rooms and food and starts at $16 for each room and $5 more counting for all 3 meals unless you choose to eat out. How many rooms do you need?" He asked, leading us to the hallway with the rooms we can stay at.
"I think we can have all five. Is it $16 per day or week?"
Peter started making business deals with Samuel as I opened the door to one of the rooms and settled Katie-Kat on the bed. I stretched my back a bit and sat down next to Katie. I moved a piece of her hair from her eyes to behind her ear. Katie had the most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen, a beautiful color of forest green that a real forest could never compare to. Her hair was a medium brown color and was soft as I ran my fingers through it. Her freckles painted her face like specks of dirt. I remember one time when we were younger I though they were specks of dirt and tried to wipe them away. She was pretty mad and smacked me. I didn't care because for the rest of the day I was thinking about how cute I thought she looked. Just like when I met her when I-NO! Shut up Travis no need to remember that day right now, not now.
