The fall of love

Chapter 2

"Hearts on fire tonight, feel my bones ignite" My ringtone sung. Quickly I grabbed my bag and got my phone out the inside pocket "Amy" I mumbled to myself

"Hey bitch" I chirped happily through the phone, Amy's my best-friend she doesn't go to my school but I've been a friend of hers for a long time. I met her on twitter. She was a good friend and lived not far away we we're planning a trip to town with our other friend Cassie this weekend.

"Hey slut" she sung back.

We talked for a while about the plans and details and then I was shouted down for tea. I hung up the phone and quietly plopped down the stairs into the small kitchen we have, through to our dinning room.

"Hello dear" my mum spoke quietly with pain squeezing through her face.She looked sick and uneasy. "Hi mum, are you okay?"I asked concerned as I took a seat at the table to eat our food, I got a nod in return and we sat in silence eating.

After eating, I decided to go back upstairs, I got out the chair and started walking back through our kitchen. "Kate.." A small whisper escaped my mum's lips. She handed me a letter which had already been opened and worry was written all over her face.

I opened the letter my eyes skimming the page.

"...letter to inform you.. Being released in 1 month... A changed man..." I laughed with tears threatening at my eyes " this is bullshit mum. How can he... Why can he... I'm scared mum" I took a seat at the table next to my mother. " I don't know honey, but he doesn't know our new address, we will be ok. I won't let anything hurt you.."

"You said that last time" I snapped without thought of what I had just said. "Mum I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.. I was shocked and angry.. I'm sor.." I was cut off by my mum's shouting "just get out, GET OUT NOW!" I looked at her this time tears streaming, an apologetic look on my face whilst letting her words sink in.

I grab my phone and headphones put on my trainers and slammed the front door shut. I run to let my anger out, I've been told it's therapeutic. The song 'Join the club' by Bring me the horizon plays into my ears and I just run to the nearest bench. And let out every feeling I have and cry.

"Katheri.. I mean Kate?" A familiar brown haired boy appears in front of me. Ignoring his presence I continue to let the tears flow freely. "Hey, don't cry.." His voice followed as he sat beside me. His hand starts to rub at my back trying to comfort me. I decide to look up at him "sorry, I didn't mean for you to see me like this" I smile, trying to wipe my cheeks dry. "It's okay, don't apologise..." He sighed "what are you doing out here at this time?" I asked facing the street light ahead of us. He sighed beside me, painfully. "I could ask you the same" I faced him and he just looked beaten down and destroyed. It made my heart hurt.

"I got into an argument with my mum." I stated simply, he didn't need to know anything more just yet but I told him just to make him trust me a little more. "I got kicked out for the night due to having an argument with my parents." I started to speak but he continued "I don't understand, I'm messed up, I don't know what's going on up there" I looked at him and tears we're threatening at his eyes, as he pointed to his head. I didn't know how to react to him, I'm not used to this.. I just hugged him awkwardly. As soon as his chuckle pierced the silence I pulled away as fast as I could.

"I'm sorry" I spoke not looking at him. He laughed again. "Why are you laughing at me" I spat. " I didn't mean it in a rude way, it's just the way they talk about you, you're nothing like that.. It was just different.. Funny different, a good different" he explained reassuringly. I smiled and looked at him. "Yeah, well people judge me too quickly I guess" I shrugged. We sat in a comfortable silence for a while until he stood up.

"I guess I better go as I need to find a place to crash." He sighed. I stood up as well. " well good luck then, I guess I'll see you tomo-" I was cut off " so you're not going to offer your place for me like they do in books and movies?" He laughed. I looked at him confused. "Well, sure you could stay at mine but I just didn't think you'd want to.." I trailed off.

He smiled linking arms with me.

"To Kate's" he chuckled pointing his free arm in the opposite direction of my house."Actually.." I said awkwardly turning around "it's this way.." He pouted " thanks for ruining my vibe Kate." And like that we headed to my house.I smiled to myself enjoying his company.

I just made a new friend.
