Twisted

Kate

Sitting next to blare in that Ice cream parlor was amazing.

Even though I met blare earlier that morning I felt like it was fate that josh fell. I felt like I knew her forever, and I wanted to be close with her forever.

"So, is it just you, josh and your mom?" she asked.

"Yeaupp." I shrugged, hoping she wouldn't ask about the other part.

"What happened to your other mom?" she asked.

"She-" ISN'T REAL "died."

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bring it up!"

"Oh don't be sorry! it's alright! I barely knew her." I reassured her. I didn't know we because she's not real.

"You sure?" she asked.

"Positive. It's alright."

"It's almost curfew." Blare whined.

"We better head home" I frowned.

We grabbed our boards and left the ice cream parlor. It didn't take very long to get home, we stopped at my house.

"I really had fun" blare smiled.

I may have 'accidentally' reached for her hand and I held it.

"I had fun too. Out of everybody, I'm glad I met you today." I blushed.

"I'm glad I met you too"

Then there was that awkward silence, I knew what I wanted but I was to afraid to go for it.

I knelt down a bit and kissed her on the cheek.

'Good start kate' I said to myself sarcastically in my head.

Blare wrapped her arms around my neck and she pressed her lips against mine.

We pulled away at the same time and all I could do was smile.

"Goodnight Kate" blare waved as she skated down the street toward her house.

"Goodnight" I smiled, I knew she couldn't hear me.

I heard the front door open behind me which snapped me back into reality. My mom was at the door, a smile was peeled across her face.

"I see you had fun at the skate park." She joked.

"Hell yeah I did." I slid my skateboard into the garage and headed inside.

"She's a cutie." My mom said from the kitchen, I walked in and she had wine glasses on our island.

"Date?" I asked her nervously, hoping is wasn't a man.

"Yeah. I invited Ali over for a few drinks, she's in the bathroom."

"Alright."

A few seconds later Ali walked into the kitchen.

"Hi" I said quieter than I expected.

"Oh you must be Kate!"

"Yeah. That's me. You must be Ali."

"Yeah" she laughed quietly.

"Well ill be upstairs. Probably sleeping. Goodnight guys." I said as I walked toward the stairs.

"Can you tuck josh in while you're at it?" my mom called.

"Yeah whatever." I groaned.

I walked into Josh's room to find him already asleep, his plastic dinosaurs were scattered across his bed. I quietly and quickly removed all the Dinos from his bed and replaced them with his dinosaur stuffed animal.

I snuck out of the room, closing the door and I entered my room. My teal walls and white furniture reminded me of my old room, which was actually much smaller than this. I stripped out of my pants, threw on my old band t-Shirt and climbed into bed. I set my alarm clock for 6:45 and I drifted off to sleep.
