Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?

I can't believe the person I was seeing above me. I haven't seen him since I was seven and the last time I saw his father was nearly over two years ago, so many questions were running through my head on how he knows Katie but I try to keep my cool. I wonder if he remembers who I am?

"What are you doing here?" She questions, I see how uncomfortable she got at his presence, he looks almost like his father, cold and devilish. The thought of him and his father and how dirty they are and how much my father loved them, makes me sick. They are all dirty.

"I was just passing through and thought I would check and see how you were doing since our breakup. It's been what? almost three months and you've already moved on? I got to say.. that hurts a little Katie." I wanted to pick up the napkin holder next to me and slam it in his face.

Or I can just let him say hello to my fists.

When my eyes finally catch his they almost drop and I can tell that he knows who I am. I'm sure he can't forget the scare in my eyebrow that he gave to me.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me. You are out with someone like Austin Connors? come on Katie, I might have cheated on you a handful of times but this is just too low for someone like you." I bit my tongue.

"A handful of times? You are fucking sick. I'm not seeing Austin, he just saved me from a party. You can leave me alone now." she grumbles before crosses her hands over her stomach.

"I wish you would've took my fathers advice and started acting more like a lady but I swear as the years go by, you become trashier by the minute." I felt a bolt of anger rush through me.

"She said to leave her alone Taylor so why don't you listen to her and leave?" He clicks his tongue.

"You aren't the one to stay with girls, trust me. You use them, toss them and just move on with your life. I'm glad my father kept me away from you, I never wanted to turn out as such a lowlife like you." He checks  the time on his watch.

"I thought we should talk about our breakup but it seems to me like you just don't care." Katie rolls her eyes and it's so fucking cute when she does it.

"I don't, you cheated on me and apparently multiple times. I broke up with you for a reason, we are done Taylor. You moving away was the best thing to ever happen, now please, leave me alone." The waitress finally comes with our strawberry milkshakes before he looks at his watch and decides to walk away without another word, that's the first.

"I'm sorry about him. I didn't notice you two knew each other." She takes a sip from her drink.

"I wouldn't expect for you to know someone like him. We used to be friends for a couple of years but only as kids. His father and my father were in business together and they aren't good people Katie." I admitted.

"His father Richard is such an ass. Wow, what a small world. Your father was a lawyer too?" I nod.

"He was a dirty man."

"Richard didn't talk about work much, he would usually just talk about me and Taylor and he would tell me how much growing up I need to do. I only saw him a couple of times out of the two years because I didn't like him." I pull my cherry off top before eating it.

"I could honestly care less about them anymore, before my father passing they had a little fall out and they stopped being business partners." She fiddles with the brown napkin under her shake.

"Where did you go after that um.. one night.. we kinda of um, slept together?" She finally gets the words out before I smirk.

"I knew you still thought about that." She flips me off before I huff, deciding if I should tell her about my mother or not.

"I went back in hopes of reconnecting with my mother but it failed but I still ended up going to college down there." She nods her head. I wonder what she's thinking about?

"What are you thinking about?" I question her as she slides her fingers around the cup ring and she just looks at me with those crystal brown eyes and blows out air.

"I thought that maybe you left because of me.. that you were embarrassed that you hooked up with a freshman." I couldn't help but giggle, I will never forget that night or the impact she had on me until this day. She's so different from any girl I know.

The softness of her lips that night or all the random shy things she would tell me about herself before falling asleep was adorable but also fucking weird.

"No, not true at all. I just had a shitty past that needed to be taken care off. I'm sure you wouldn't understand." She crosses her arms.

"Why wouldn't I understand? Try me." She threatens.

"I bet you are the only child. That both your parents are happily married and they would do anything for you. I bet you live in a nice neighborhood in a big large house with no problems. I bet the only trouble you got in was staying out a tad bit pass curfew." I flick my straw paper at her.

"You are wrong about everything. I might ask a lot of questions but you judge people without knowing them." She holds up a finger just as I was getting ready to talk again.

"I have an older sister who is busy working, my father left my mom when I was little and my mother doesn't really care about my life at all. She wants to still be in control over it so we don't have much of a relationship. We lived in a good neighborhood but I worked hard to get into this school for a scholarship since my mother's income couldn't just pay for it and yeah, I didn't really get into trouble but so what." I watch her attitude change, she has gotten sassy over the years.

"Fine." was all I said as we both continue to enjoy our shakes.
