Hey everyone! Happy Belated New Year! Sorry this took so long! I had writer's block from hell. Lol. Hope y'all enjoy this chapter! :) It's not very long, simply due to the fact that I didn't want to keep you guys waiting any longer. But have no fear, future chapters will be longer. :)
Chapter 3
Kaitlyn's POV
It's been almost a week since school got out. I'm at my Aunt and Uncle's house with Jeremie and Aelita. I've been pretty depressed for the past couple of weeks. I haven't been very responsive either. I only left my room to eat and use the bathroom. Peter left a little over 2 weeks ago. I didn't even get to say goodbye to Patricia, and I don't know how Odd is taking everything. Ugh. I just don't know what to do.
I tried taking Taelia's advice, but every time I tried talking to another guy; whether it was online, in person, or what; it just didn't work. I didn't get that spark like I had with Peter.
I plopped back onto my bed, deep into thought. Was Peter maybe lying to me? Did his parents really force him to go back to the U.S.? Or did he want to go back on purpose? Ugh... Here I go over thinking again.
I rolled over, and checked my phone to see if maybe he had texted me or tried to call me... But of course, nothing.
I put my phone back down on the dresser, and plopped my head back on the pillow. I just didn't know what to do to myself anymore. I had suicidal thoughts not too long ago, but I knew that wouldn't solve anything.
I started sinking deeply into my thoughts. So deep, that it felt like I was dreaming while I was awake. Just then, I had snapped out of it, and the door opened. Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremie walked in.
I raised my head up slightly, and then plopped it back down with a blank expression on my face.
"So... how are you holding up?" Jeremie asked.
I shrugged. "Fine, I guess."
Yumi walked over to me. "Kaitlyn, you have to leave this room. You can't keep imprisoning yourself
forever."
Jeremie sat on my bed. "Why don't we all go out on a walk together? You can talk out how you really feel." He said, trying to help.
"Leave me here to die." I said, starring straight up at the ceiling.
Aelita sighed. "Kaitlyn, you can't spend your whole summer in here sulking over some guy. It just isn't worth it."
I looked over at her. She did have a point, but I was just too emotionally drained. She grabbed my hand and tried to pull me up. "Please Kaitlyn?"
I sighed. "Ugh, Alright. Let's go. Let me just throw on some shoes." I said.
"YAY!" They all cheered. I couldn't blame them I guess. I have been very unresponsive for these past couple of weeks. Maybe this will help get my feelings out.. Like they said.
We went out and started walking around the city.
"So, what exactly is going on, Kaitlyn?" Jeremie asked.
I looked over at him. It really wasn't that easy just coming out and saying what has been going on in my head.
I sighed. "Well... I feel hurt that he didn't tell me he was moving to the U.S.A. Sooner. Yeah, I would've been hurt of course, but it makes me feel crappy that he would hide something like that from me." Suddenly, the thought of Odd and Patricia crossed my mind. "Have any of y'all heard from Odd since him and Patricia broke up?" I asked.
Yumi nodded. "I have. He seemed pretty hurt. But he'll get over it, just like you will Kaitlyn. You just got to give it time, and before you know it, a new hello will come into your life. Just give it a chance. Try doing stuff that makes you happy. That's what I did when I got over my first break up."
I thought about the advice that Yumi had just given me. It was actually pretty good. Maybe doing stuff that made me happy would cheer me up a bit.
"And most of all..." Yumi blurted. "Cry when you feel like you need to cry. Even if it's in public, or in front of us; Don't be ashamed. Crying sometimes helps." She smiled.
I smiled back. "Thanks you guys." I said.
I actually felt a lot better now. I guess friends are more important than having a boyfriend any day. Now, let's see if this is easy to get over...
