Carolina

Chapter 27

It's only been a two weeks and it all still feels so fresh. I'll wake up with tears coming out of my eyes, I wouldn't even remember crying at all.

I walked into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Then I got dressed for work, I grabbed my keys and my purse as I handed outside and stopped.

"Harry" my eyes widened. I forgot how sexy he is "what are you doing here?"

"Can we please just talk about what happened?"

"What's the point?" I asked him "nothing is going to change, please just go away"

"I love you" he sighed as he looked down.

"Please just go" I mumbled.

"Kat"

I stepped back and closed the door and locked it quickly. I was scared out of my mind. I heard a bang and I jumped.

"Katherine please"

Tears filled down my eyes "nothing is going to change Harry, this is what's best for us"

"Is it?! I can't sleep, I can't think clearly" me too Harry, me too.

"Please" I begged him "just go"

I heard a bang then it was quiet. I ended up sitting on the floor grabbing my phone and calling Chris.

"Hey Kat"

"Chris, can you please cover for me?" I asked him "I'll cover one of your shifts"

"Okay Kathy, are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine" I hung up.

I got up and put my pajamas back on and crawled back into bed. I grabbed my phone again and called Elijah.

"Hey Kathy"

"Eli, please tell me you aren't busy?"

"I'm at work why?"

"No reason, never mind"

"No Kat, come on"

I sighed "I need you Elijah"

"I'm on my way okay?"

"Okay, use your key"

"I will"

I hung up as I wrapped my arms around my stuff animal Harry got me. Elijah walked in, locked the door and crawled into bed with me. He wrapped his arms around me as I just cried my eyes out.

"You're going to be okay Katherine"

"Am I Elijah?" I looked up at him.

"You are babe, you are. Want to know why?"

"Please" I smiled.

"Because I am your best friend and you are mine. Because you are the strongest most toughest woman I know" he kissed my forehead.

I sighed "thank you so much for this Elijah"

"Have you been taking care of yourself Kat?"

"Define taking care of yourself"

"I'm guessing that's a no" he tells me "what I'm going to do since I'm your bestie is I'm going to stay with you until you are back to your normal self okay?"

"No Elijah, you don't have to do that"

"I want to and you need me to okay? It'll be fun, it'll be like if we gotten a place together"

I laughed "okay, you're the best Eli"

"And you're the best, now what I need you to do is go take a shower"

"Why? Do I smell?!"

"No to wake your ass Kat! Go" he pushed me off the bed.

I groaned as I went into the bathroom to take shower "okay I'm showered now what?" I asked Elijah.

"We are going out and you're just going to have to do what I say okay?"

I sighed "I don't like this"

We went out and Elijah ended up taking me to a salon "Okay Eli, what are we doing here?" I asked.

"Go sit down, I got this"

I sat down and watched as Elijah talked to a stylist and looking over at me. I didn't know what Elijah said to the stylist when she was done. I came out with light brown hair and bangs, I ended up liking it a lot.

"Okay Elijah, I like this"

"I knew you would" he smiled.

"I was expecting something crazy"

"Nah I kept it simple"

Elijah paid and then we walked into a bar "Eli" I mumbled.

"It's going to be fine come on" he held my hand and pulled me in.

Elijah ordered for both of us "so" he takes a sip "what do you want to do for your 21st birthday?"

"I honestly have no clue E, I mean I've already been drinking"

"Ooh! How about we go away?!"

"Like where?"

"I don't know anywhere, okay how about New York"

"Yeah I guess that could work. Just me and you"

"Yup! Okay I'm going to make it happen for us"

"Thanks your the best"

The rest of the night was pretty much, I got drunk and Elijah and I danced the whole night.

"I miss him" I slurred "let me call him"

"No Kat, you'll regret that in the morning"

"Please I just want to hear his voice to know everything... everything's going to be okay"

"Sssh just sleep it off" I crawled into bed and knocked out.
