My Drummer Boy (Ashton Irwin)

Chapter 23

(THIS IS THE LAST TIME IM DOING A RECAP BC THEY ANNOY ME)

*Recap*

Is someone going to explain what's going on?" Ashton grumbles, not happy that Jess and Mary have captured Kathy's attention and she's not all over him.

"Yeah yeah." Mary groans and walks off to find a bathroom, I'm guessing.

"Well?" I ask.

*End of Recap*

*Kathy's POV*

When I saw the two girls standing in front of me, I couldn't believe it. I could not believe it. It's been what, 6 years? Yeah, Jess and I were 12 and Mary was 11.

"Jess? I can't believe this." I laughed and rubbed my eyes to stop the tears from spilling down my face.

"Ok, we understand you can't believe it but how do you guys know each other?" Michael asks again, becoming more and more impatient.

"And who's beans?" Addy giggles, looking up at us with wide eyes.

"Ok so long story short I was best friends with Jess and Be- Mary, like 9 years ago. But then something happened and I haven't seen them since. They just disappeared with out a word. Not even a good bye." As I explained this, I realised why I was upset with them. They left! Not a trail behind. They didn't even sell their house till they were completely gone!

"That wasn't our fault and you out of all people, know that Kathy." Jess whispered, getting angry. Or upset? I couldn't tell.

"No, I don't know. Because you left with out telling me! Just like that you were gone. I haven't heard from you until now! Almost 10 years later! And it was by accident..." I started raising my voice. Addy tugged on my hand, she had a confused glint in her eyes.

"Can we not do this here?" Mary's voice sounds from down the hallway as she walks through, looking perfect as always.

"I'm leaving. See you soon guys!" I decide to take Mary's advice and walk over to give each of them a hug, ignoring Ashton, Mary and Jess. Neither of them looking too happy about it.

I walk through the door of Pops cafe and the smell of caffeine and muffins hits me like a slap across the face. This is always the place I go to when I need to calm myself down or just feel like something to eat.

"Evening Kathy! We're just about to close up." Greg, the shopkeeper informs me.

"Hi Greg, I'm sorry do you want me to leave?"

"No, not at all. Hey, order whatever you want it's on the house!" He winks and walks into the kitchen to clean up some extra mess.

"Hi Kathy! What would you like today?" Sarah, the girl behind the cash register asks.

"Just a white chocolate chip and raspberry muffin please!" I smile at her and sit down at the chair and table by the window, I'm the only one in the cafe as I wait for my muffin.

"Here you are gorgeous." Sarah exclaims and place down a warm muffin in front of me.

"Thanks Sars. Hey, can I have some advice please?" I ask before she can walk away.

"Of course love! What is it?" She pulls up a chair and sits opposite me.

"I'm having boy troubles..." I mutter and blush, looking down at my hands that are playing with my muffin."

"Oooooh! Spill!" She giggles and puts her hand under her chin to hold her head up.

"Well I was dating this guy and he was really sweet and loyal and would never do anything to hurt me. Before we even started dating he stood up for me to this girl named Brittney and she wasn't happy and I don't think she was too happy...Anyway she ended up starting to date his best friend and we went on a double date with them because he was really excited about getting a girlfriend and long story short at the end of the night I walked in on my boyfriend and Brittney fricken making out! He keeps denying it and saying it was her that came onto him but he was lying on top of her so it's obviously bullshit." I huffed and started getting angrier and angrier with the minutes that passed. Sarah cracked her knuckles and tied her hair back before replying to my short rant.
