I swallowed hard, setting down the object that was in my hand. I picked up my phone which was beeping, I looked at the ID. DJ. I gulped. "H-Hello?" I answered.
"Kath?" I heard his voice say. "Are you alright?" He asked, he obviously heard me stutter.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." I lied. I swallowed. "So...What did you need?" I asked, swallowing hard once again.
"Oh, Right, I was wondering if you wanted to come grab some coffee with me?" He asked, I could sense he was scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah. I'd love too." I said.
"Alright, I'll pick you up." He said. I nodded then remembered I was on the phone.
"Kay. I'll be ready." I said. He then hung up, I stayed on the phone for an extra two seconds then sighed and hung up. "What am I gonna do?" I whispered, sliding down the door of the bathroom, I pressed my forehead onto my knees.
"Kath?" I heard Kaye on the other side.
"Yeah?" I managed to choke out.
"You alright? You've been in there a long time." She said, I could hear curiosity in her voice.
"Yeah. I'm fine. DJ just called, I'm having coffee with him." I said. I stood up looking at myself in the mirror. I fixed my make up a little, I threw the object into the drawer and closed the drawer. I quickly opened the door.
"You sure you ok?" She asked. I nodded.
"Yes. Kaye. I'm fine." I said, now getting annoyed. She backed away a little.
"Ok, Ok, Just checkin'. Mom and Dad will be home around...hmm...I'll say 6 ish tonight...?" She said. I nodded. I heard the door bell ring, I threw on a sweater and opened the door.
"Hey," He said with a smile. I smiled back.
"Hey. Let's go. Bye Kaye!" I yelled to Kaye, I heard her yell 'bye' from upstairs. I shut the door and we walked to his car.
"What do you want?" Daniel asked.
"What ever you're having." I said, not being able to decide.
"Do you like Mocha?" He asked. I nodded, he then nodded and walked to get our drinks. He came back shortly after. I grabbed my coffee from him.
"Thank you." I squeaked. He nodded and sat down. He stared at me for a moment as if he could see right through me. "What?" I asked, taking a sip of my mocha.
"Are you sure you're ok?" He asked. I nodded, swallowing the hot liquid in my mouth.
"Daniel. I'm fine. Gees. You and Kaye." I said, he sighed, not buying it.
"Why can't you just tell me what's wrong? I'm sure I'll understand." he said, looking at me, looking kind of disappointed that I won't tell him.
"Can we go?" I asked, about to stand. He shook his head.
"No. Sit. We just got here." He replied, I sighed, and leaned my cheek onto my palm so my hand was holding up my head. "What. Is. Wrong?" He asked.
"DJ, Just leave me alone." I said. I knew it wasn't right doing this, not telling him, he did have a right to know. He sighed.
"Please?" He asked. I sighed miserably and got up, leaving the coffee shop. I walked down the sidewalk, I threw out my coffee not able to drink it. I stuffed my hands in my pocket. "Kathryn!" I heard from behind me. I turned around and looked at him.
"What?" I asked, annoyed with him now. He stood there confused, I felt guilty, I was being rude to him without an explanation. "Sorry." I apologized. "I'm just...tired..." I lied, hopefully that would work...for now.
