Hey guys. I'm so sorry for the long wait, I've just been cursed with the biggest case of writers block, and when I wasn't blocked, I was dealing with family issues and my own issues. I'm sorry, but I'm back!
Hey there, Cather. Where have you been at? Heh.
-Levi
Cath sighed, checking her personal Facebook, checking all 40 notifications. She hadn't been on in what was it.. a week? She had been too busy on her Simon account..what was the use for a personal one, anyways? And couldn't Levi just call her? It made no sense.. Cath wasn't ever Cath. She was Magicath. And now she's Simon Snow, only Simon Snow, the boy with the apple cheeks. Simon with a Magicath twist.
It's just.. no use having a personal Facebook, right? At least not on being active.
Sorry babe. Just been busy, that's all.
Cath whizzed off, moaning in her hands and then raking her brown hair into a ponytail.
She debated on what she was going to do today; roleplay, read, or watch a movie with Wren. Or call Levi to come over, that was always an option, but it was almost like she needed a break from him- you can't expect to hand out with someone 24/7 and not get tired of them, right? Cath knew that better than anybody.
Roleplay, read, or watch a movie. She had all the time in the world, right? It was summer, so what else should she do? She had no new ideas for a roleplay. But..she didn't have the attention span to sit down for two and a half hours, or more, watching a fictional world unfold in her head.
"Hey Wren.. Do you want to go bowling?" Cath said suddenly, leaning on the door frame and watching over her twin and her dad watching Star Trek or something of the sort. What she was thinking, she didn't know, but she needed to get out. "Or..the beach."
Their Dad raised his eyebrows, smiling in his own way. "What's gotten into you, Cath? You haven't been out of that room of yours in weeks, and all of the sudden you want to go camping?"
She thought that over in her head. That was true. It was kinda odd to have such a weird personality spurt within no time, knowing that she didn't have a life really. It was on the computer, and when it wasn't, it was plopped on the couch in between Wren and their father. When was the last time she saw Levi's apartment? Ages. And she couldn't say she wanted to go back, really. She then acknowledged that her head was plopped down, to her feet, admiring her bare feet and purple-painted toes.
"I can pitch a tent. We have one in the garage." Wren suddenly said, a huge smile on her face and her cheeks slightly pink.
"Really?!" Cath jumped a bit, leaning on the balls of her feet.
"Come on dad, lets go camping! Have fun with us." Wren looked at him with puppy eyes, she was always really good at that. Even Cath herself could barely resist the puppy eyes, and their father was way more subjective to submit.
"Fine," he groaned out, and then smiling at Cath. "You..do realize there is no WiFi out in the middle of the woods, right?"
Cath rolled her eyes, "I know dad. I know."
"Well, this will be fun, right, Cath?!" Wren jumped, giggity, and then running up the stairs. "I'll start packing!"
Cath's father sighed and turned off the Netflix that was on the TV, looking at Cath who was still leaning on the door. Okay, she had noticed she picked this action up from Levi, but she only hoped that her father wouldn't comment on it. Stay on the camping topic, she prayed. "I can't believe we're going camping.." He mumbled, throwing the Wii remote down on the couch and rubbing his eyes.
"Why not, dad?" She asked, rubbing her cardigan-covered arm awkwardly.
"...Me and your mother did it a lot when we were younger." Cath stood there, creasing her eyebrows and thinking. Not the mom. She didn't want to think about her, here, anywhere, at all. She was a nobody- she didn't matter. Nothing.
"Well..we'll just have to make new memories to cover her old ones. Alright? We can play tag, roast s'mores, and do all the family things. Grill hot dogs and squirt ketchup in each other's hair. Something. Alright? It's just.." Just. Just that. She didn't know what she'd do, what they'd do, it was just that- just them. Alone. Camping.
"Alright."
Cath trudged up the stairs, walking in to Wren in the room and a suitcase on the bed.
"And you- no alcohol."
"Yeah, yeah, Captain." Wren set a hand to her head, waving it out. "No..seriously. I'm still a little numb from that, but I'm all good. I swear it. You hear me?"
"I hear you, but I'm not listening~" Cath chuckled, sitting down in her chair and opening her Facebook, typing her personal account information down.
Hey, Levi..I'm going somewhere for a few days, don't worry about me, alright? x
-Cath
Almost instantaneously, Levi replied:
Alright, Cather. Call me when you're back. -Levi
Alright. -Cath
/Guys, I'm going camping for the weekend, I won't be roleplaying. No wifi. But maybe I'll bring a good plot back, along with a few stories? Anyways, toodles~! -₳pple₵heekš
It felt good, packing up to go somewhere. Not that she hadn't been campi- okay, so she hadn't been camping before.
Who goes camping around here? But she was very excited to spend time with her family, the kind of spend time that didn't occupy staring at the TV screen. So much better. Camping. Hot dogs, s'mores, scenery, birds. Things she rarely sees because she's too lazy to walk outside. Maybe some day this summer she could go camping with Levi..
Why didn't he ask where she was going? Oh well...it didn't matter.
They crammed into the car, Cath grabbing a CD and plopping it into the player.
"What CD did you pick?" "
Coldplay." Cath smiled back at Wren.
"Niiiceee." Their dad chuckled, singing along.
It was only a 35 minute drive, but it was fun.
This would be fun.
