The Happiness Of Tragedy

Chapter 44

"I'm so ready for the club tonight" Vi told me, I folded my arms and bit my lip. I've never been to a club. What's so spectacular about it, it's just drinking and dancing right?

"Well I don't know Violet, do you think it's a good idea, seriously?"

"Yes, I do and your not gonna talk your way out of this either" she pulled out the keys and pointed a finger at me.

Going into our bright room, the sun shown brightly through the big window beckoning me near. I went and sat in the seat, the heat from the light warming my skin and blinding my vision. I still enjoyed it though.

"Besides, I already brought our own section" I look over at Violet and shes digging through a bag in her closet.

"Your kidding?" I removed the jacket I was wearing.

"Nope" she popped the 'p' and I rolled my eyes. I continued to look out the window I was sitting in and they landed on Levi's car. A small smile tugged at my lips.

This morning we all met at our usual table in the courtyard and ate breakfast again. Levi had insisted we left the table early so he practically dragged me to his room leaving everyone sitting there. We hadn't done anything though. By the time we got there and started talking and attempted a make out session, Violet and Monica came banging on the door.

"Throw the condom away!!!" They started laughing aloud.

"Get dressed, we're heading to the beach" someone shouted. I thought they'd left but as soon as I opened the door, they hopped up off the hallway floor and dragged me toward the room.

It was Monica's idea to head to the beach and Violet told me everyone else thought it was a good idea since we haven't been in a while. Lucas came over to the table at the last minute and shocked us all by kissing Monica in front of everyone. The girl nearly fell to her death when she went to get some napkins from the do it yourself island in the cafe.

Monica headed to her room and Vi and I came to ours so we could get changed. That's what I was supposed to be doing but I was sitting here enjoying the sun on my skin through the window. Something told me to look over by the entrance of the building, the view was always great seeing everyone going in and out of the building but when I saw a police car parked my heart instantly dropped.

So what if it was David Collins, I thought but looking for evidence had led to another thought. The license plate read COLLINS and I jumped to my feet. Maybe he wasn't here for Levi, maybe he was here just to be.

Levi had told me he visited often but everytime I saw him, they were together. I trusted my boyfriend to not keep any secrets from me so why is my heart telling me somethings been off about him? Whenever I asked him why his step dad was here, he would brush it off and cover it up with affection toward me. So what if he is hiding something? I wasn't going to sit here and stare out this window to find another clue as to why David was here. Not now.

"Kat sweetie, what are you waiting for?" Vi walks over to my side of the room and opens my closet.

"Sorry" I bring my hands up to my face and rub at my temples.

"What have you got?" She stepped back so I could look through the mess in my closet.

I spent a total of twenty minutes deciding on what bathing suit to wear and what outfit to go with it. I didn't have much of a choice but still the time flew by.

I never liked my body but since being with Levi, it's like I've gained so much confidence in my figure. After trying on the first black and white one piece, Vi didn't like the way it hid my body so she made me try on the only other one I had. It was a two piece.
