An Apple A Day(Trixya)

Feel It

"Katya?" Willam knocked on Katya's bedroom door but got no response. Katya refused to come out of her room. She didn't eat or talk to anymore. "Katya, I'm coming in." Willam opened Katya's door, only to be swallowed by the darkness of Katya's room. "Katya?"

"Get out Willam."

"Katya, what's wrong? You haven't talked to me in like four days." Willam opened Katya's curtains, letting the sunlight in. Katya groaned and pulled the covers over her head.

"Get out."

"Katya, talk to me. What is going on with you? Trixie came by and sh-" Katya set up in bed and looked at Willam. Katya's eyes were red and puffy from crying, mascara streaks and smudged lipstick on her face.

"When? What did she want, what did she say?"

"She came by yesterday. Mom told her that you weren't feeling good. Trixie said that she was coming to check on you, said that she was a friend. Did something happen between you two?"

"No."

"Then why aren't you talking to her? She said you haven't answered her texts or calls."

"Willam, I don't have my phone."

"What, why?"

"Hmm, mom hasn't told you huh?"

"Told me what?"

"Someone called her and told her that I was sleeping with a teacher at the school."

"Who the fuck?"

"She took my keys and phone, oh and she said we are moving."

"What?!" Willam stood up as she stared at Katya. "What did you say?"

"She said her and dad have wanted to move, they were just waiting until I was done with school but I'm not focusing on school so there's no point." Katya's eyes began to swell up with tears again as she held her chest.

"Katya.." Willam set next to her younger sister and pulled her into a hug. "It will be okay."

"It won't."

"Why?"

"You don't understand."

"I understand being away from someone you love Katya, I know that feeling very well."

"The other day, Trixie told me that she was afraid of what we had but she wanted to see where we could go. I was so happy Willam and even now, thinking about her is making my heart flutter. I just don't think it will be okay."

"Call her and ask her to come over Kat."

"Mom isn't going to let me use my phone."

"You have an iPad and laptop, don't you?" Katya looked up at her sister with a small smile.

"You're right."

"Of course I am." Willam hugged Katya one last time before standing up. "I'm gonna bring you something to eat. You go take a shower because you smell like roasted ass, broken promises, with a dash lost dreams."

"Oh shut up." Katya laughed as she threw a pillow at Willam.

Trixie sighed as she scrolled through Netflix. She had been through her list ten times and she still didn't know what she was looking at. Trixie's mind was too busy worrying about Katya. She hadn't been to school in three days and she hadn't spoken to Trixie since she left her house. Visiting Katya's house only made Trixie worry more. Katya's mother said that Katya was sick, that made Trixie's heart sink. Yeah, that explained Katya not coming to school but not her ignoring Trixie. It made no sense what so ever. Trixie threw the remote across the room as she groaned. She stood up and walked into the kitchen to get a drink. Trixie was pouring herself a glass of whiskey when she heard her IPad going off. Trixie walked into the living room and quickly answered when she saw that it was Katya calling her. "Hello? Katya?"

"Hi." Trixie sat down and smiled softly when she saw Katya on her IPad screen.

"Are you okay? You haven't spoken to me, you haven't been to school. I came by your house yesterday and your mom said you weren't feeling well. Did I do something wro-"

"We are moving."

"Wh-what?"

"We are moving. I haven't spoken to you or seen you because my mom took my phone and keys."

"Why?"

"Someone called and told her that I had been sleeping with a teacher. She got upset so yeah."

"Katya, I'm sorry."

"I mean, it's not your fault." Katya played with the zipper on her jacket, fighting back tears. Trixie didn't know what to say, she only stared at Katya in silence.

"Is there anything I can do?"

"I don't know."

"I'm here for you baby." Katya burst into tears as soon as the word baby left Trixie's lips.

"I don't want to move Trixie, I really don't."

"I know baby. I really wish I could at least hug you right now."

"Can you come over?"

"What?"

"Can you come over? My parents are asleep and you could leave before they wake up in the morning."

"Is that what you want?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I will be there is 15 minutes." Katya nodded as she wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

Katya paced around her room as she bit on her nails. She looked out of her window when she saw headlights in her driveway. Katya quietly walked out her room and looked into her parents' bedroom. They were fast asleep. She slowly closed their bedroom door and walked down stairs. Katya opened the front door just as Trixie was getting out of the car. "Hey love."

"Hi." Trixie opened her arms and smiled as Katya ran to her. Trixie held Katya tightly, feeling at ease. "I missed you, so much."

"I missed you too baby."

"Trixie, I don't want to go."
