Watching Her Love You

Chapter 2

Cat inhaled as deeply as she could, trying her hardest to tamper down the terror that she felt before she sent the link.

She looked at her iPhone one last time, and before she could think better of it, she hit the blue arrow, sending the song to the woman that she had been miserable without.

She continued to hold the breath she'd taken until the 'Read' receipt had popped up... Then, well... if she threw her phone across the room out of fear, who could really blame her?

Kara's phone went off at 6:30 in the morning, which was the exact same time her alarm went off, telling her that it was time for her to get around for work. She groaned as she sat up and stretched, and then, looked at her phone. She smiled brightly at the feelings of butterflies she'd gotten when she saw that there was a message from Lena on her phone.

Lena: Good morning, Sleeping Beauty. I can't wait to see you today.
I have something I need to talk to you about.

Kara: Well that text started off happily,

but then immediately turned terrifying ;).

Kara laughed as she sent the text message, but as soon as she hit the send button, her phone went off again... This time it was the woman she still loved... Cat.

Butterflies and happiness exuded through her entire body as she opened the message.

Cat <3: I know that we are only friends. I know that I've hurt you. I know that I'm a moronic bitch who never knows how to let a good thing last when I've found it, but every word of this song is accurate. I am so sorry for everything that I've done to make even remotely sad, dear. I want to make up for everything that I've done. I apologize for it being country... I know we both hate
that genre, but I couldn't find an NSYNC song that fit my predicament as well as this song does. Please, Darling...Know that I mean every word.

Kara swallowed the lump in her throat as she re-read that text repeatedly. There were thousands of ways that Cat could have meant that... It didn't mean that she wanted Kara back, right? OF course, not. She'd been the one to break up with Kara... Not the other way around. She'd been adamant that their relationship would be better off as platonic.

She buried down her hope and clicked on the link that her ex-girlfriend sent her.
