Chapter 2 : The Answer To Love

"Oh my god! I am so sorry!" Cat yelped and pulled away from my lips. She jumped up and almost tripped over the coffee table behind her.

"Cat, calm down, it's okay." I said gently, but she was too busy freaking out. She grabbed my stuff in the corner of the room and threw it to me.

"You should just go. I... I made a mistake. I didn't mean to do that! I'm so sorry Jade! Ugh... Please don't tell Beck!" She was saying these words so fast, I could hardly understand her. She kept pushing me out the door and next thing I knew, the door was in my face. I stood there, dazed for a moment, but then grabbed my nose in pain. The door hit me when Cat slammed it. She's pretty strong for such a petite girl.

"Cat!" I yelled and knocked on the door. My stuff was on the ground next to my feet. "Can you at least be courteous and get me some ice for my nose?" The door opened immediately and Cat yelled, "Oh my gosh Jade! Did I hurt you?"

"Umm... yeah, just a little." I said, still covering my nose. Cat opened her door and let me back in. She took my hand and led me to the kitchen to get me an ice pack for my nose.

We sat upstairs in her room and sat in silence for a while. My nose became numb because of the cold ice pack, but I kept holding it there. Cat sat as far away from me as she could, trying not to make eye contact with me. "So..." I started. "You apologize for kissing me, but you don't apologize for almost breaking my nose?" I smiled at her to let her know I was joking, but she didn't seem to think it was funny.

"I'm sorry Jade." She sounded so sincere. Like she had done something absolutely horrible.

"Listen, Cat. You didn't have to apologize for kissing me."

"Yes I did. You're dating Beck and that was completely wrong of me!" She was so upset about kissing me, but I didn't understand why. I kissed her back...

"I don't even think Beck and I are going to work out, so that doesn't matter sweetheart." Cat looked up, surprised.

"What? But you two love each other!"

"Love?" I asked, more towards myself than to Cat. "I don't think it should be called love anymore. He's... changed."

Cat walked over and sat next to me. I thought she'd give me a hug or something, but she just sat there, looking down. "I'm sorry. I don't know much about love." Cat mumbled.

I smiled, and wrapped my arms around her. I didn't really know what I was doing, but it felt right. To have Cat in my arms, was the greatest feeling in the world. I put my lips next to her ear and began to whisper. "Love, that's the best feeling that someone can give you. You feel as if the whole world doesn't matter anymore because that love overpowers everything else around it. You can look into the other person's eyes, and just feel safe and comfortable knowing that they love you. And when they say the words -" I got softer "- I love you..." I felt her get tense, and then relax. "Every fiber in your body becomes completely devoted to them. You're in their control because your heart can't stop itself from loving them back with all that you have." My voice got darker. "But love doesn't last. Something always happens to mess it up. That person changes into something that you no longer love, but you continue to love because your heart is still devoted to that person. Then, everything you thought was good, suddenly turns the exact opposite. Your whole world falls apart and it takes a long time to build everything back up. That's how love works Cat. Don't fall in love..."

I stood up and began to walk out of her room, but before I went down stairs, I looked back at Cat one last time. She remained sitting on her bed, completely motionless. I could tell she was deep in thought. I walked down stairs and opened the door. Just before I stepped out, I whispered, "I love you, Cat." And then, I left.
