"I'm Sorry." (Katelyn x reader)

Chapter 4

(Y/n).
I tuck Emersyn in. Making sure she was tucked in properly while kissing her forehead. She's was already fast asleep. Her indigo hair flying everywhere. Honestly, I don't know how she got indigo-colored hair. Since Katelyn's hair is blue and mine is (h/c). Maybe it was from my parents. My actual parents. Though who knows. I turn on her nightlight before heading out of the room. Closing the door behind me softly. I head downstairs where Katelyn is.
Katelyn.
I look up at (Y/n) from where I was curled up on the couch. "I'm going to head out okay. Emersyn is asleep. And should stay asleep for the rest of the night," she says. "No, wait. Don't go yet," I say. (Y/n) looks at me confused. I motion for her to sit by me. Turning my head to cough once again. "Don't go. Not yet. I don't want you to," I say. (Y/n) sits beside me. "Okay. But if I get sick, then it's your fault." I smile at that. "I'll take care of you. Promise," I declare. A smile makes its way to her face. "Tripled promised," she asked? "With a blueberry on top," I swore. At that we both laugh. Since I didn't like cherries, we switched it to a blueberry on top.
(I don't know if this is true. It's just for the story)
"What are we watching," (Y/n) asked? I smile. "Pet Sematary," I answered. (Y/n) nods her head. Soon, I'm cuddled into her. It happened naturally. It wasn't that I was scared of the movie. Because I wasn't. No actually, it was just a habit. We use to cuddle often. Especially if a movie was playing. And it isn't like (Y/n) mind. I was just laying my head down on her shoulder. Cuddled into her side. My eyes slide close slowly. Damn you sickness. I didn't want to sleep. I didn't want this to feel like a dream when I woke back up. But I can't help it. She's so warm and close.
(Y/n).
I look down at the girl who was snuggled into my side. I smile lightly. Picking her up. Katelyn turned. But didn't wake up. She didn't even wake up when I place her in her bed. I tuck her under the covers. Just like I did Emersyn. I leaned down slightly. But then stopped myself. We aren't together. Get a hold of yourself (Y/n). So instead of kissing her lips like I wanted to, I kissed her forehead. Feeling the warmth under my lips. "Get better Kate," I whisper gently. And then I leave the house. A sigh leaving my lips. That was too close. I can't let myself go again. We got a divorce for goodness sakes. I run my hand through my hair. Going to my car. I need a drink. I go back home. And pour me a glass of the strongest alcohol I have right now. Before sitting down in my dining room and drinking it.
Katelyn.
I wake up in my bed. Still feeling sore. But I felt better than before. I was able to do things today. I take a shower first. And then go get Emersyn up. She smiles at me. "Mommy!" I smile and pick her up. "Let's go get you showered okay. School is going to start soon," I say. Emersyn nods her head. Once I get her dressed, I go make her breakfast. (Y/n) and I never sent Emersyn to school hungry. We made sure to feed her breakfast before she went. I had made a fuss about it. And now we weren't allowed to leave the house until Emersyn eats. Speaking of the girl, I should call her. And thank her again for taking care of me. I hug Emersyn before she could run off. "Bye, Mommy!" I smile and nod. "Bye Emer. Have a good day at school okay." Emersyn nods her head. Waving goodbye as she runs off to her friends. I sigh and head back to my car. Picking up my phone. I mean I could call (Y/n). But I don't want to ruin what good came from yesterday. So I'll just text her. Coward move I know. But I'm scared. And it's been a while since I have talked to the girl like we did yesterday. Laughed with her. It's been a while since our words were carefree and light. Loving even at that.
Katelyn:
Thanks for taking care of me yesterday. I owe you.
I bite my lip. I didn't want to seem like I was waiting for her to text back or anything. I did not want to seem desperate. Because I wasn't. I was just thanking someone for doing a favor for me. It was the right thing to do. And I can't tell Emersyn to do something if I don't do it myself. I sigh and place my phone down. Driving off to my house. I had an hour before I needed to go to work. I'll get ready. And then grab my things and go. After I get dress, I throw my hair up into a messy ponytail. Grabbing my thermo filled with coffee. Though when I open the door Lucinda stood on the other side. "Hi, Lucinda. Need something? I'm about to head off to work," I say. Closing my door. Lucinda shakes her head. "I just don't know to feel when my best friend said it was okay to date someone. And then go around and have her taking care of you," Lucinda says. I roll my eyes. Walking over to my car. "Look, Lucinda. (Y/n) did me a favor. That's all. I didn't ask her to come over or to do anything. You can have her," I say. Lucinda scoffed. Rolling her eyes. "Katelyn, you do know what over means right? You fell out with (Y/n). Let someone else have a chance." And then she walks off. I stare at the girl. Not believing my ears. I roll my eyes once again and get in my car. (Y/n) isn't mine. I don't care who haves her. Right?
