It's Complicated (Catradora Highschool Au)

Chapter 19: Adora

Living with Double Trouble...is well how do I put it? Interesting.

They are constantly busy, whether it's being caught up in filming, writing, breaking boy's hearts, or calls they are always on the move.

It can get pretty lonely here. Their house is incredibly beautiful but a little too enormous for me. It feels quite eerie when I am alone.

I plop down onto one of the many faint couches.

I look down at my phone; finger poised above the tempting little call button that rests beside Catra's contact.

I have found myself in this situation for the past two weeks.

One question stays persistent in my mind.

What should I do?

I want everything to go back to normal. I want us to be close like we were. I want us.

But the thought seems so absurd now. From what I see...we can't work out. At least not the way that I desire us to be.

But I should be thankful, right?

Now I can really try to be...normal.

I try to envision myself as "normal".

Feeling flustered, butterflies in a frenzy at the sight of an attractive lad. A nice boyfriend. Standing at the alter in all white; eyes locked with my husband to be.

This should be what I want. But something doesn't sit right.

No boy could make me feel the way that I did with...her.

Everything seems so different with girls. So, much more light, comfortable, and me.

But no, this can't be me. I have to change...for the better.

Straight girl. Straight A's.

Tears hinder my vision. I turn my phone off and sigh.

Maybe it wouldn't be all that bad if Catra was more then-

A loud knock on the door jolts me from my thoughts.

"Huh, wonder who it is."

I open the door and instead of seeing what I hoped for (a set of heterochromatic eyes), I see a pair that mirrors mine. A piercing sky blue.

The blood drains from my face; leaving me a cold and pasty mess. My heart skips a beat.

"Dad?!"
