The Hardest Thing –

Cat POV

I ran away from him, why did I run away from him! Oh my god I'm driving myself insane. I've known him since I was 12! I've been in love with him since I was 12! Damn it Robbie, why do you have to confuse me so much? Why can't you see how much I love you?

"I guess I have to get up now." I say to myself, getting out of bed. It's a Friday morning, that's the good thing. It's almost the weekend, which t means Robbie is going to come over and watch a movie! I hope he says we can watch a Disney movie. I get up and take a shower. It felt nice to have the hot water run down the back of my neck. I just need to stop thinking about this kiss, it was only a kiss. That's it, a kiss. Come on Cat forget about it!

After getting dress I pore myself a bowl of cereal. I grab a spoon and start to eat it. I stare at the clock counting down the minutes until I get to leave. I don't want my mom to wake up. I don't feel like arguing this morning. I finish my bowl and put it in the sink. I grab my bag and take 5 dollars from my purse.

"I guess I'll grab a cup of coffee on the way there." I think to myself. I slip out the door as quietly as I can, making sure not to wake my mother. I walk down the street to the Mocha Café. I walk in and hear the familiar ring of the bell on the door. At the counter Maggie come up and says my order to me to make sure she has it right.

"Good morning, Caterina. A caramel latté with extra whip cream and chocolate syrup?"

"Morning, and Yep! So how are you Maggie?" I say to the older lady behind the counter. She has light gray hair and green eyes but an amazing sense of humor. I see her every time I come here, which is pretty often, so she decided to memorize my order. She is the sweetest thing in the world!

"Good, getting old!" She says and laughs. "So are you headed to school?"

"Yea me and my friends are meeting up early at the Asphalt Café." I nod.

"Is that boy going to be there? The one with the glasses." She says and gives me this grin. I was here with him the other day. I guess she saw the way I was with him.

"Who? Robbie? Yes, why?" I start to blush because I think I know why.

She smiles at me again. "I can see the way you look at him. I'm not blind yet, honey. You like him don't you."

"Um. Well… no… yes. Yes I do. How did you know?" I ask. At this point my face is as red as my hair.

"I'm married. I looked at my husband the same way! I still do. You two are cute together. Now why don't you come back tomorrow and we will talk. You're going to be late! Go see you man." She smirks and I blush again. I give her the money, take my coffee and walk out the door. Maggie is so nice. I can tell her anything!

I get to school to find Robbie sitting on one of the tables and Jade and Beck making out on the other. I decide to walk over to Robbie. I don't feel like staring at Jade and Beck. I run up to him and kiss him on the cheek. He never sees that I'm flirting!

"Hey, Robbie!" I giggle.

"Hey, Kitty Cat. What's up?" He asks

"Not a lot. How about you?"

"Oh nothing. Just waiting on Tori and Andre." He smiles at me. "So how are you and Jason?"

"Oh we broke up last week…" I look down at my shoes. I liked him.

"Oh, I'm sorry Kitty Cat. Do you want to talk about it." He said turning to me. He put his hand on mine. I liked it, it felt right. I nod.

"So, when I went to get coffee the other morning at Mocha Café I saw him with another girl. I thought it might have been a sister or a friend but then he kissed her. So I ordered an ice coffee this time and dumped it on his head, in front of the girl. She saw what I did and understood. She stood up and slapped him. Then we both walked out. It was kind of funny actually." I giggled a little bit and he laughed.

"You dumped it on his head! Wow, now I know never to tick you off." I laughed. I couldn't ever do that to Robbie. I looked back down at my shoes. We were sitting on the same table as we were at the CowWow. This is where he kissed me. I wonder if he realized it.

He grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine. I think he thought I was still upset about the break up. I looked up at him and looked into his eyes. I want to kiss him again so badly, I want to tell him how I feel. I'm scared to though. What if it ruins our friendship? I can't risk that.

He starts to bend down towards my face. I know he was going to try again. I could just… no I can't risk it! I really want to. Damn it! I can lose the chance or I can just get over myself. It's now or never. I lean up and meet him lips. It was soft and nice. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. He grabbed my waist and pulled me close. It was amazing. It was everything I have ever wanted.

We pulled apart and my forehead was on his. "Wow. Has anyone ever told you that you're a really good kisser?" He blushed and I giggled a little bit. I lay my head on his chest and shut my eyes. That was just amazing.

"So, how long have we been waiting for that guys?" I hear Tori's voice and my eyes shoot open. I look at them and freeze. Did they just see that? Oh my god, they did!

"Congrats, Shapiro. You got your girl!" Jade says with a smirk.

My face goes red. I can't even move. So I grab Robbie and kiss him again. If they saw already there is no point in keeping it a secret!
