The biggest mistake Park had arguably ever made was letting the funeral slip when he was talking to Cat. Immediately, she was asking if she could go. Park needed to do this on his own. Okay, maybe with his parents and Josh, but primarily on his own. Cat would do more than just weigh him down. Cat even being there would be like shitting on a bible. So he had to tell her no. He had to put his foot down and draw the line in the sand.
“Who is it even that’s died? Do I know them?”
“Cat, I don’t think you should go.” She just looked at him. “Cat?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, it’s kind of a family thing, you know? I don’t really know what my mom would say if I brought you.”
“She’d say ‘Oh, Cat, nice to see you! Your hair lovely. You use shampoo I give you?’” This wasn’t getting any easier.
“Really, Cat, I don’t think you should go. Plus, who’s going to watch over DP on a Friday night?” She shrugged, crossing her arms. “See? So maybe it would be better if you stayed.”
“Why do you not want me to go so badly?”
“It’s not that I don’t want you to go, it’s just—it’s kind of complicated, and I don’t think you’d like it very much there.” She sighed.
“Alright. I don’t have enough energy to fight with you anymore. Just take me home.” Park internally high-fived himself and put the car in gear. That’s one battle down. One more to go.
