you're my everything

Chapter 18

Kaitlin's POV

I drive until i reach a somewhat familiar place.
I can't quite make out any clear objects through my tears.
After awhile I manage to calm down and look at my surroundings.

I found myself to be at moms. I remember as a kid, I always came to her for anything, even when I was in the worst mood, she found a way to cheer me up.

I step out of my door and slowly walk up to her front door.

My knock was so quiet that i could barely hear it myself. but after what seems like only a few seconds my mom answers the door holding Mya in her hands.

"Honey!!! What's wrong?!?" she says setting Mya down and dragging me into the house.

I explain what happened the best I could.

"I can't believe Ross would think that" she says after I finish.

"I know" i say started to get worked up again.

"Well, everything will be okay. just stay here tonight with me. give Ross and yourself some time to cool down. I'm sure it'll all work out" she says.

"Thanks mom" i say

"Any time Sweetheart" mom says with a smile.

"I think I'm just gonna head up to bed" i say walking towards the stairs.

"Okay. see you in the morning" she says.
"I love you"

"Good night mom. i love you too" i say.

I walk down the short hall and enter my old room.
Right when i walk in i see posters. Everywhere. Of Ross. I forgot, i used to be his biggest fan.

I slowly back out of my room and walk back downstairs.

"Is everything okay" mom says when she sees me.

"I forgot about how obsessed i was with Ross" i say.

"Oh right! You still have all of his posters up. well, you can crash on the couch until you get them taken down" she says.

"Okay" i say.

"I'll go get your blanket and pillow from your room for you" she says heading for my room.

"Thanks mom" i say sitting down on the couch.

After about a minute or two mom comes back with my old comforter and pillow.

"When you obsess over something you're not kidding" she says referring to my posters.

"Haha yeah" i say.

"Well. here ya go. good night, sleep tight" she says.

"Night" i say.

I get all comfy and start to dose off until my phone vibrates.

I got a text.. from Ross.

Ross: kaitlin, im so sorry about what happened tonight. can we please talk?

Me: there's nothing to talk about Ross. it's over. you obviously don't trust me

Ross: please. just, meet me outside

Me: how do you know where i am??!? Did you follow me?!

Ross: no. But I know how close you and your mom used to be so I thought you would be there. so i drove by and your car was there.

Me: oh

Ross: Kaitlin pleaseeee just come outside

Me: ugh fine!!

Ross: thank you!

I lock my phone and set it down on the coffee table.
I quietly get up and go outside.

I see a figure by the street lamp so i walk towards it.

"Ross..." I start to whisper at the shadow

"Yeah... It's me" i hear the figure say.

Once i get a little closer i see the street lamp lighting up Ross' hair and face.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"To talk" he says.

"About what? There's nothing to talk about" I say.

"Well obviously there is if you're mad at me and ran away" he says.

"Ross! You didn't believe me. I kept trying to tell you and explain things but you wouldn't listen!" I say a little bit louder.

"I know. and I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. I promise, it won't happen again" he says.

"Psh yeah right" i say crossing my arms and rolling my eyes.
"I've heard that before"

"Well i mean it. why would i say something I didn't mean?" Ross says.

I shake my head

"Goodnight.. Ross"
