I would love to love you
My names Kathrine Lori Hill, but everyone calls me Kat. I'm seventeen, 5'6, with a fit figure and the right curves in the right places, dark red hair that curls to my elbows, and light grey eyes. My skin is light copper from the native American on my father's side of the family.
I spent the first 16 years of my life living with my father and younger brother in La Push, Washington. My Mum died from cancer when I was 10. I had to be strong for my dad, and Max who was only six at the time of our mother's death.
I managed to get dad off to work at the timber yard every day, get Max to school, myself to school with my grades never dropping below a B. I kept the house in order, clothes clean, food in the fridge and on the table, every night. Mum always told me that a woman is meant to do everything and make it look like nothing.
It got too much for me sometimes but I would never let my Dad, or Max see me break down, no, I was their rock. There was only one guy that would ever see me cry and yell hell to the world on bad days. That lucky guy was Embry Call, my rock.
Embry and I were childhood friends, his mother and mine were best of friends and we were the same age - literally we were born only six hours apart - so we were always stuck together. Embry was the nicest, most caring, and funny guy you could imagine. After my Mum died I spent the whole day sobbing in his arms, and anytime things got too hard I would go find his arms to cry in.
When we were 14 Embry and I finally said we like-liked each other and we became girlfriend and boyfriend - the perfect couple our friends called us. We were in love, were, all the good things I have to say about Embry are in past tense, I haven't even seen him in almost two years.
It was just past our 16th birthday and Embry said we were over, just like that he didn't what to see me again, and the bastard did it by text too. Embry had been sick the week before and I was worried out of my mind when I wasn't allowed to see him, I think he was faking it to not have to see me. After that short four-word text, I locked myself in my room and cried my heart out, I refused to go to school, to eat, I didn't even what to sleep because all I saw when I closed my eyes was Embry's face.
My Dad was beside himself with worry, I was his rock, and I was shattered into dust. After three weeks and two trips to the hospital for dehydration, I couldn't do it anymore, the pain was too much. I slit my wrist hoping to end the awful pain, and I almost succeeded, but Max came home from school early and found me in enough time to call for help and of course I lived or you wouldn't be reading this now.
When I woke up in the hospitable and saw my Dad and baby brother crying at my bedside like I was already dead, was my wake-up call. I got Dad to send me over to England to live with my mother's older sister Kelly, her husband Dan and their four children. A change of scenery, to get out of this place will do me good, I told Dad… and myself.
So, that's where I've been for the last… 531 days. I never got back to being the Kat I was when I had Embry; but I found a new part of me and built myself up again. I made sure not to get my heart broken again by never getting serious with a guy, one night, maybe two, if they were lucky.
I finish my schooling a month ago at the top of my grade. I had offers from colleges coming from all over the place but I declined them all. I don't need a big degree to tell me what I what to do in life. I know what I want. I want to go home, get a house close to the water, get a simple job and then just grow old by the sea, alone.
So here I am, staring out the window on a plane to Seattle, and going home… home.
