Crippling Love

Chapter 14

"No way! He had a crush!?"

'Nononononono! This can't be happening! Why?'

'I can't believe he got rejected though he sounds so nice. That's a good thing for me- No! What the hell am I thinking!? I have to comfort him not be glad I have a chance!"

"Miku, do you think she's prettier than me?"

"Mew?" Miku looked at me tilting her head to the left.

"Yeah, you're right. She's probably really short too. I bet she's like 5'4 or something while I'm 5'11... Sigh."

"Meow."

"Yeah you're right she's probably one of those stuck up rich girls anyway to think she's better than Ash... I bet she will look like a rat compared to him."

"Miaow!"

"I will go see him for his sake...but I'm still gonna dress pretty maybe I should wear a dress... Yeah, I definitely will. I'm so excited to finally meet him!"

"Mrow!!"

"Oh don't judge me! Just shut up and eat your food."

"Mrow mrrr."

"You're welcome. But you're not helping me with my boy troubles! All you wanted was food."

"Mew."

"You are such an evil cutie pie."

"Sigh. Let's see what I have that looks girly. I definitely can't wear heels I heard guys get intimidated if a girl towers over them."

"But do dresses go with sneakers?"

Miku started to lay down on a pair of one-inch heels.

"Huh? Miku? Are you telling me to wear these one-inch heels?"

"You're a genius! I completely forgot I had those!!! Now just give them to- Eek!"

She scratched at my hand, "Hiss!"

"Guess I'll find the rest of the outfit first. I didn't know you were such a fashionista cat!"

"What do you think about this white dress with red hearts? You don't think he'll think I'm trying to confess if I wear this?"

Miku walked away.

"I'll take that as a, you would blow him off his feet if you wear it."

"Show I make and wear a white flower crown? Yeah, he'll definitely think I'm cute. Plus he'll be impressed when I tell him I made it!"

"Okay, you do you Miku while I make this crown."

I found Miku when I'm finished, "Miku~ What do you think? Do I look pretty? Huh? Perfect! We'll go to an ice cream parlour. You are the best wing woman ever! Either that or I'm going crazy and pretending you're talking to me... Nah that can't be it! Haha. I'm leaving now take care of yourself there's extra food in your bowl don't eat it all at once. Bye~"

'I wonder what Ash will look like? I bet he's super handsome! And if he isn't his personality will make up for it. I wonder if he'll be taller than me? What if he isn't and he's not into tall girls!!! No no no. This should be all about him, not me! He's going through a heartbreak he has no chance at being with his love. Although it hurt to find out he likes someone else I still have a chance even if I'm just a rebound.'

'Sigh. This is about making him happy... What's wrong with me? Sigh. No thinking about our marriage and two kids... Just making him happy. I aim to make him smile for most of the date and laugh at least once... D-date? Ah! Stop it, Katelyn! We're just friends for now.'

~Third Person POV~

'I'll wait for him here. How will I know when he gets here? Well no worrying about it now. Might as well play on my phone.' Katelyn thought taking out her phone.

"Thanks, mom. I'll be fine for now." Asher said with a small smile.

"Have fun and be safe." Mrs. Angel said, ruffling Asher's hair.

"I will t-try."

'Oh... I don't know what she looks like... Ummm....- !?!?!' Asher thought looking around until he spotted a certain someone and froze.

"Asher..." She said with a nervous smile.

'No. No. I can't face her...' Asher got away from her as fast as he could.

"Asher... Wait!"

"Stop... Will you just talk to me?" Katelyn yelled chasing after him catching up.

'No way!!!'

Asher got out of his wheelchair and booked it.

"Gasp!"

'He learned to walk?... And he's running!?'

'No, I can't face her not yet I'm just not ready...'

Asher fell onto the ground near the pond. Tears streaming down his face from running. He did go to therapy but it still hurts when he stands, walks or runs for too long. He wiped his tears then took out his phone.

KC

~Today~

"Let's meet at the pond instead. I'm already waiting."

"Already? I'll be there asap!"

'He's waiting for me~ I should probably bring Asher's wheelchair... I wanted to talk to him- Ah! I can talk to Asher later. I need to go to Ash now!'

'There's no one else around I'll be able to spot KC easily.' Asher thought.

As Asher was looking for KC he saw Katelyn approaching.

'No! Why is she here again!?'

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*

Asher's phone rang.

"Hi, Ash. Where are you?" Katelyn asked talking on the phone while looking around.

"!" Asher heard her voice through his phone and check the name of who called. Sure enough, it said KC.

"K-Katelyn?" Asher asked both confused and shocked.

"!!!" Hearing Asher's voice from her phone and in front of her Katelyn was extremely shocked.
