Like, Omg! I'm back! :) I missed everyone so much! Finally got my laptop fixed! Are you ready for a brand new year? I hope so! Here's the moment y'all have been waiting for:
Code: Belpois
Year 2: Chapter 1
Kaitlyn's POV
I sat in my dorm studying for my history final exam with Aelita. It is now May of 2013. It was starting to warm up, the outdoors were full of natural bloom, and the breeze was carrying the scent of sweet honeysuckle everywhere.
"Hey Aelita, When did the Cold War start again? I forgot." I said, as I looked at her.
"It was some time after World War II, I know that. You know I'm not good with History!" She said, and giggled.
"Well neither am I!" I laughed, and threw a piece of balled-up paper at her.
Aelita then raised her head up from her book. "Hey Kaitlyn, has everything been okay with you and Peter lately?"
My cheerful mood killed itself. Unfortunately, since Jeremie and I found out we were brother and sister, Things have not been so great with Peter and I. We somehow managed to argue nearly everyday. It was only about silly little things I can't even remember. I've been trying not to torment myself thinking about it, but... I found myself tearing up.
"Kaitlyn?" Aelita said. "Are you okay?"
I looked up at Aelita. "Unfortunately, no." I said. I wiped my eye with the edge of my sleeve.
"What's been going on, Kaitlyn? You know you can tell me anything." She said, as she walked over to me and sat with me on my bed.
I sighed. I always made it a rule to try and keep my relationships between me and my significant other, but I trust Aelita. I know she wouldn't say anything to anyone... I hope.
"Well..." I started.
"I'm listening." Aelita said.
"Well... We've just been arguing a lot recently. Over silly little things that I forget about by the next day. Not only that, but he has some serious depression issues that are spiraling out of control that I want to help fix, but he just isn't getting the message. He always finds some excuse to still be miserable, and it makes me feel so weak inside, like there's nothing I can do, and it kills me. It's getting out of hand, Aelita." I said, I took my glasses off as I could feel tears dripping down my face.
Aelita gave me an empathetic look. "Hmm. I see. Well, Kaitlyn, if you want me to be honest. To me, it sounds like he WANTS to be miserable. Either that, or he has something bottled up that he's not telling you. Why don't you try talking to him sometime later? It might be good for the both of you." She said, with a smile. Somehow, she always knew how to cheer me up.
"You really think so?" I said, and smiled.
"Yeah. Trust me, you'll get through it. And if something bad happens, you know your friends are here for you." Aelita smiled.
"Thanks, Aelita." I said. "That means a lot, it really does."
"Don't mention it." She said. She checked the time on her phone. "It's almost dinner time. What do you say we go down and get something to eat?"
I got up, and slipped my pink shoes on. "Sounds good to me." I stretched from sitting down for too long.
"Come on." She said, as I walked out and closed the door behind me.
We walked down to the cafeteria. I pulled out my phone to text Peter.
"So, are you gonna talk to Peter?" Aelita asked.
"Yeah, I'm texting him now to tell him to meet me out by the cafeteria, if he isn't there already." I said, as I pressed send and shoved my phone back into my pocket.
"I really hope this turns out the way I want it to..." I thought to myself.
When we got to the school yard, I started looking around for Peter. Sadly, I didn't see him.
"Do you see him?" I asked Aelita. She seemed to be scoping the school yard as well, but she didn't seem to see him either.
I decided to go into the cafeteria and see if he was in there, and to my luck, he was.
I smiled and walked up to him. "Hey, Peter." I said, and smiled.
Peter shrugged at me. "Oh, hey Kaitlyn." He said, but he didn't seem to be too happy to see me, which killed me on the inside.
"Are you okay?" I asked, almost automatically. My gut feeling was telling me something awful was about to happen.
"Yeah... I guess... Hey, can we go outside and talk?" He asked.
"O-Of course we can." I stammered. Yes, I wanted to, but at the same time I was sort of scared.
We got outside, and sat down on the bench together closest to the cafeteria. I was shaking, and my heart was pounding.
We sat there for a good 5 minutes in sullen silence. I wanted to speak up and say something, but it was like I had gone mute. Like if I was to say something, nothing would come out.
Peter finally took a deep breath, and said those awful words I never ever wanted to hear...
"Look, I think we should break up..."
Cliffhanger! Sorry, I had to. Chapter 2 will be up shortly!
