Chapter 2 ♱

Katherine's PoV
"GET THE FUCK OUT!" I heard Natasha screaming at the top of her lungs.
I quickly rushed out of my bedroom to see James stood in the kitchen.
"JAMES GET OUT!" She pushed him towards the door.
"DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME!" He pushed her back.
I was completely shocked, I froze.
"Natasha baby, I'm sorry!" He started to walk up to her putting his arms out for a hug.
"WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT LEAVE?!" She turned her back to him.
I snapped out of my trance and got between them.
"James, can we talk outside?" I ushered him outside into the apartment hallway.

"What the fuck was that?" I asked, leaning against the closed door.
He sighed, placing his hand against his forehead.
"It was last night, I didn't mean it!" His breathe was sour, you could tell he was hungover.
"Didn't mean what?" My voice now irritated.
"I may or may not of kissed Kelly." He was quiet, hoping I didn't hear him, unfortunately I did.
"You fucking dickhead!" I smacked his chest.
"I know! I know." He grabbed my hand.
"Look just go, let her cool down." I pulled my hand away and reached for the door handle.
"Okay.." James turned his back and walked away.

I turned the door handle and swung open the door.
"Oh Tasha." I sighed before positioning myself next to her on the couch, as she threw her arms around me, burying her head into me, I heard her sob.
"Why would he do this to me?" She sniffled before moving her head up, she rubbed her eyes, wiping her tears away.
"Natasha, although I love James being around, you shouldn't lower your standards to him. He's done you wrong so many times." I rubbed her shoulder.
"I know, but I love him Katherine. He's the only boy I've ever loved." She began to sob again, her tears streaming down her now red cheeks.
"He's the only boy who has ever chosen me!" She put her hands over her face. I began to feel myself tear up too, I loved Natasha and she is strong, you rarely see her breakdown but when she does, it's usually bad.
" I know, but it doesn't mean somebody else won't! Natasha You are the most stunning girl I have ever met!" I saw her look up at me, she seemed almost disgusted.
"I'm not perfect, not like you! Your blonde, skinny and naturally just gorgeous! Every guy wants to be with you!"
I was shocked, I don't know where this had come from, I hadn't had a boyfriend in at least 2 years. Boys don't melt when they see me like they do with Tasha, she's stunning.
"Don't be ridiculous Natasha! James is only trouble, no matter how much I hate to say it." I stood up, walked over the the kitchen and grabbed some ice cream.
She wrapped the throw over her. I walked over and handed her one of the tubs of ice cream.
"We are not going to leave this apartment today, we are going to watch Netflix and eat ice cream all day!" I smiled, pulling some of the throw onto me.
"I love you Katherine." She turned on the tv and we began to watch the notebook.
Personally, I wouldn't of picked it since it's a romance film, about heartbreak and distance but she seemed to like it.

Later that night I was laid in my bed, scrolling through my social media's. Natasha had began to feel a lot better and took herself to bed.
As I was looking through Instagram my phone vibrated, scaring me to death.
"Oh shit!" I put one hand over my mouth in shock.
It was James, the message read :
"Please tell her I'm sorry, thanks for helping us today. Oh here's Chase's number if you want it 'number'" I sighed, I wasn't going to message that guy, no matter how gorgeous he was. It was a one night stand that occurred when I was extremely drunk. I put my phone on my bedside table, rolled over and fell asleep.

Over the next 5 days Natasha didn't speak to James, infact she avoided him completely. Obviously I hadn't gotten in contact with that chase from the party, after publicly humiliating myself.
Everything was going smoothly, the summer holidays were going to be amazing this year, I could feel it.
But this morning, I could also feel puke coming up my throat.

I quickly ran to the bathroom before throwing my guts up into our toilet. Not long after Natasha came running in to see if I was okay.
"What happened?" She seemed worried.
I sighed, resting my head on the wall.
"I don't know, I just felt so nauseous this morning." I pulled myself up off the floor to grab some painkillers.
"Well, are you still coming to the beach tonight?" She asked.
"Of course! It's probably nothing." I made my way back to my bedroom to get dressed.

Tonight there was a big party down at the beach near campus. There would be a Dj, alcohol and lots of boys, it looked like it would be the highlight of the week.
I tossed my hair into a messy bun followed by an oversized white hoodie before grabbing my bag and going into Natasha's room.
Today we were going to go shopping to buy some clothes and get lunch, we would often do this, more or less once a month.
"Natasha your taking forever." I yawned.
"We can't all just put no effort in and look as pretty as you Katherine!" She sighed as she layered on her mascara.
"Oh shut up." I rolled my eyes.
"Okay I'm done, let's go." She picked up we bag and we made our way out of the apartment complex.

At the shopping centre we did what every teenager did, we went on a shopping spree, spending our life savings and when we finished we polished off a cheeky Nando's.
I loved Nando's, well I loved chicken. I would refuse to eat any other meat, I just didn't enjoy anything else, chicken had a unique taste. However, Natasha could scoff anything down her from chicken to lamb, beef to pork and anything else she could get her hands on. Sometimes I think her tastebuds have disappeared over time and she can't taste what she's eating, but that's just a theory of mine.
Obviously the day was going too well because on our way out of the shopping centre we bumped into Kelly, she same girl James had cheated on Natasha with.
I latched onto tashas arm and ushered her past Kelly, but that didn't stop her giving some dirty looks, god if looks could kill.
"What a slut!" Natasha stuck her middle finger up at Kelly's back as we left the centre.
I giggled.
"Come on, just let her be a hoe." We made our way to the train station, hopped on one of the trains and made our way home.

At home Natasha was running back and forth between mine and her own room, asking my opinion of her outfit for the beach party. Honestly she made me laugh at how much she cared about he appearance, she clearly has no clue how beautiful she was without all the makeup and sparkly outfits.
"What about this one?" She ran into my room with a bikini top and jean shorts.
"Sure" I nodded.
"Omg Katherine! Stop saying sure and tell me what looks good." She had a little strop with her feet as she said it. It wasn't unusual for her to have a little paddy with her feet when she was frustrated, but I don't think she realises she does it. She's like a 5 year old, being told no to the candy they are begging there mothers to buy them.
"Yes that one is my favourite." I giggled.
"Thank god! This was my last outfit." She ran back to her room to get changed.

I stood up, throwing my phone onto the bed. I should probably decide what to wear before she comes in and shouts at me for not getting changed.
I laughed just thinking about how bossy she was.
Trailing my hands over every outfit, I stopped my hand over one. Pulling the coat hanger it rested on out from the wardrobe.
"This will do." I murmured to myself.
Placing the clothes on my bed, I straightened my hair, flattening any little curls that resided at the back of my hair.
I had chosen to wear a strapless bikini top and some shorts, the weather was going to be nice and I didn't want to get too hot, but also not too cold when the sun eventually sets.
Tonight was going to be a good night, I could already feel it.
