Everything felt well once more. After Cat told me that she wasn't really angry at me, but at herself. As it turns out, she was the one who fucked someone without telling me. Elliot. Not gonna lie, I didn't see that one coming.
"So wait, you forgive me?"
"Heck yeah, like I said. I was never truly mad. I am, however. Declining that cake." Cat laughed, eye the pink frosted cake.
I assumed that the cake was a reminder of what she witnessed in the kitchen last night, considering that it happened, right after I finished baking the sugary treat.
"Well, more for me. And that means no I change my mind's." I glowered at the large slice in my plate. "Oh, did Savannah ever get into contact with Mathew? Or is he still missing." Asking through chews.
"I haven't seen her actually, and someone is always gossiping to me about Matthew, and it isn't the good kind either." Her expression fell into one of worry.
"Since when is any kind of gossip good?"
She made a face. A face that said 'you're joking right? Of course, not all gossip is bad' and it took almost every millimeter of sheer will to not laugh. Most of the faces that this girl can pull off, does not make her beauty shine. Some boys would say that it makes her look downright ugly, then she'd pick a fight with the one who said it.
"Okay, okay. Well, what have you heard?" Furrowing my brows, I asked with puppy eyes.
"Some bad shit, like he's hanging around company from the wrong side of the tracks. You know Bryce's friend, right? I think his name wa–"
"You mean, Lucifer? Isn't he the owner of Gehenna?" I butted in, making her slightly annoyed.
"Yes, and word is that Matthew has been dealing with the Devil, and messing with his girl. So he's in hiding. Or so I've heard." Cat's new yorker accent always amazed me, she only does it when she's laying out the deets.
"I see...well then, is any of it true?"
"The way I see it, true. The dude's been in hiding ever since Lucifer found out Athena's pregnant, and Matt's the father." Cat shrugged, knowing the possibility of Matt becoming a dad.
"What?!" I bolt out of my chair, slamming my hands on the metallic table in front of us. "You're so lying! There's so way! Matthew saw Lucifer, the man looked like he can kill you with his eyes. And the cause of death would be a flipping bullet!" Shouting as my as flailed wildly.
"Woah, chill little bunny. It's just a rumour, Matthew's a sma– he's fine. I'm sure of it. Now sit down, you're shouting about murder and we're in a cemetery. A place of silence." Cat twirled her black laced parasol, with a small frown.
Two years ago, an accident happened and it changed a lot for us. Brandon along with both Cat and I, at the time, Cat was in a very experimental sexual stage in her teenage life. To put it simple, she has the hots for Brandon's father. He didn't seem to pay much mind to it and Brandon didn't care about it, he's used to it. Catilyn constantly flirted with Richard, and he returned her frivolous gestured. In the eyes of an outsider, they'd be considered a couple, especially since Cat is an early bloomer. But, things took a dark turn one night, it was Brandon's 19th birthday and they were drunk. One thing let to another and they were getting pretty heated, she would've given him her virginity at 18 if he didn't stop. Said that she'd have to wait and that she was still too young, then she argued with his reasoning. They had a bad argument and he stormed out, leaving the party on his bike. Richard took a ride out to clear his head, but the alcohol was still in his system and he never came back. Cat told me that there was one thing she never told the cops.
"You know, after two years. I still love him." Cat cried, she stifled sobs, muffled by her handkerchief and I remained silent.
He called her when he was on the bike, said he was sorry and that if they took it further then he wouldn't be able to control himself. But she didn't care about control, Richard told Cat about how he felt towards her, he said he loved her but it was wrong and that she was just a child. Cat screamed at him what she felt, that she wasn't a child and that she loved him since she was 16 but she waited. She said he apologized. He said that he was so sorry and that he loved her and that he's happy she felt the same, but a short while after it. She heard a loud screech and crash, then the line went dead. She freaked out, screaming into the phone.
"I'm sorry." Softly as I silently wiped my tears.
•••••••
"
I heard you went with Cat today. To his grave." Brandon's voice came through my phone, he was on loud speaker while I braided my hair.
"Yeah, she asked me to go with her. She still loves him."
"He was her first true love after all, the first is always the most painful and lasts forever."
"That's true.. Shitty, but true." I frowned, remembering my first relationship. It was downright shit, just like his kisses.
"Soooo," Brandon whined, behaving like a child seemed to be his favorite past time. "When am I gonna see you?"
"I said for us to video call but no, you insisted on voice." I quipped as he groaned aloud, making me laugh as Cat walked in.
"Well I regret that choice now, I wanna see your kissable as fuck lips. And those dick hardening curves."
I screamed at the phone as Cat staring at me, dropping her donut of the fluffy carpet, choking.
"Jesus! You're on speaker! Oh god, Cat I'm sorry!" I swerved around to face Cat, who slowly seemed to be recovering Brandon's blunt sexual preferences.
"Oh shit, sorry Cat!" Brandon released a shriek before apologizing and then he hung up.
"Christ, when I came in here, I didn't expect to be given a reminder of your sex life." She laughed, with small coughs in between.
I palmed my nape and looks at her sheepishly, I didn't expect him to say anything like that. We've been on the call for a while and Cat left for a donut only to return to worded pornography, featuring Brandon and I. Well, worded pornography is a bit farfetched.
"Sorry. I didn't expect him to say something like that, I mean, he didn't say anything like that before." I began twiddling with my thumbs and looking out the window.
Cat sighed and picked her purple frosted floor donut up and stuffed piece in her mouth, I gave her a disgusted look and she shrugged as if to say 'What? It's still good'
"Anyway, you guys still haven't done the deed. So that's normal, I mean he has control and that's good. Not all guys want to wait." She smiled at me, her hands clasped behind her frame.
The shift in my room was as obvious as the sky is blue, I slowly got off my plush seat and made my way over to Cat. The look of hurt in her watery eyes, yet she still had the weary smile on her lips. Wrapping an arm around her waist and pulled her close, I softly patted her head, feeling her mental wall crumble down as she cried into my chest.
"It's okay. I know, it hurts. You loved him, but now you have someone else. Love the one who's still here, along side with you. Richard must still love you, but he's gone now." I whispered, and I felt the pace of her breathing increase.
Cat's cries became louder as she fell to her knees and hugged my hips, her wails ached my heart because I knew that there was nothing I could do but stay and help her cope.
Maybe if Richard hadn't died, things would be different...
