Loss

CHAPTER 20

When I get back into my room, Tobias looks relaxed like Caleb didn't even talk to him. I sit in his lap and I just wait. Wait for the unknown.

I don't know what to do, I think that he feels awkward but he doesn't say anything.

"What am I ever going to do with out you?" He asks me finally breaking the silence.

I chuckle a little. "Live?" I ask him.

"I couldn't live without my world." he says wrapping his arms around me. I smile and I hear my mom open the door. I open my eyes and she just smiles with three coffees.

I stand up and grab my ringing phone. It's from Lydia. I walk out of my room, and out of my house onto the stairs.

I slide the answer.

"What do you want?" I ask with anger.

"Look," she says through the phone. "I'm sorry. K know what I did was wrong-"

"WRONG! You flirted with my boyfriend right in front of my face when he brought me to you!"

"I'm sorry! I just saw a cute guy and Daniel broke up with me, and I was desperate!"

"I'm sorry Daniel broke up with you, but you should have used your smart brain to see me, and see that I was there!"

"I know. And I'm really sorry. I wish I could do it again, and only pay attention to my other half."

I'm in tears now. I have been yelling and screaming at a phone, listening to my other half me experience the same thing. I hate this, it's just killing me inside.

"Can we try this again over FaceTime or something like that?"

"Fine." I say.

I whip my eyes dry and I hang up. I sit down grabbing my stomach trying to not cry again. My phone starts to ring and it says FaceTime From Lydia.

I answer. Her face appears on my phone, her smiling and me smiling.

"Hi Cat." She says.

"Hi Lydia." I say lightly.

"So, how have you been since we were 10?"

"Horrible."

"Me too. I missed you a lot."

"Ya, same here. How's Daniel?"

"Fucker broke up with me. What about you, any guys?"

"Actually, there is this one guy..."

"What's his name?"

"T."

"Is he hot? how's his body?"

"Caliente, and 10."

"How did you get him?!? Tell me everything."

"No, it's stupid how we met."

"Please, come on I want to know."

"Okay, so I went with my brother to this depressed meeting for depressed people,"

"I would have assumed."

"And I saw him and we had this staring contest."

"That is a weird way to meet a hot guy."

"I told you."

"Well, now I know the truth."

"So, how's your family?"

"Trying to get me to not be depressed."

"Same here. My mom even made me brunt eggs in bed."

"I only eat two poptarts a day, one for breakfast and one for dinner."

"I do too."

We both laugh.

"This is nice, we should do this more often."

"So, do you go to school?"

"No, I do home schooling."

"Oh my god, me too!"

"No way!"

"Ya, I do!"

"Oh, that reminds me, do you wanna meet T?"

"Show me the hot boyfriend."

I get up and walk into my room. I sit down on T's lap and I put Lydia in front of us.

"T, Lydia. Lydia, T." I say introducing them again.

"Hi Lydia, nice to meet you, again." he says.

"You told me he was a 10, girl he is a 100." she says. I laugh a little and Tobias puts his arms around my waist.

"You talked about me?" he asks me.

"Uh, it was brief." I say trying to cover up my embarrassment from Lydia.

"No, we had this in depth discussion about you." Lydia says through the phone.

"I am going to kill you!"

"Try and catch me if you can!"

I got up and walked out of the room. I sat down on the coach. and we said our goodbyes.

I didn't want that call to end, yes, I was mad at her but still, she was my other half, and I didn't want to end that call, but it happened.

I go into my room and I see that they have finished their coffee, and the entire pot. I laugh a little.

"So, T, you are welcome to stay here if you would like." My mom says standing up and taking the tray out of my room.

Just before she leaves and closes the door, she says, "But no messing around in this room, on that bed, or anywhere with my daughter."

"Of course Mrs. Vallez." He says nodding his head respectfully.

She smiles and closes the door. I look at him and he looks at me. We just dart to laugh. I don't know why, but we just start to laugh.

"Does she think we are sleeping together?" He asks me.

"I don't know, probably." I say continuing to laugh with him.

"So, what time is it?" he asks me.

"6:30." I simply state.

"Let's get some food." He says as he picks me up from my waist.
