All Of This
Chapter Seven
To Tear The World In Two
Katie's POV
I can't believe myself. Look what I did. I just went and assumed that he did that to me. I should've known that he would never do that. I don't know why I didn't even think twice about it and just went and accused him of that. I'm so stupid. Freddy has been one of my closest friends since I don't know when, and I just acted like I barely knew him. I blew it. The one person I ever loved will never even speak to me again.
I didn't have anything else to do but just sit, soaking wet under my covers and just... cry. That's all that I had the strength to do. I couldn't get up, I couldn't talk. I couldn't do anything. Are people supposed to be able to do anything after their world has just been torn in two? I know... a little far for a 14 year old to be thinking, right? Not when it comes to you being the stupidest person in the world and you just lost the one guy you felt you wanted to be with due to your stupidity and assumptions.
As much as I know that it would be hard for him to take in that I didn't trust him at all and that I just went and assumed that he would do that to me, he should've realized what it would've looked like in my perspective. If anything... why would I have stayed 15 more seconds to watch my boyfriend kiss another girl when that was what it looked like? I guess that's where the part about me trusting him comes in... but, the walls of trust seem to just fall down and appear not to be there when you see someone that means the world to you kissing another girl that he's only known for less than a day. But, I'm still the stupid one in this story... I guess I deserve every tear that falls.
Freddy's POV
And there she went. As much as I was so mad at her for just going and assuming that I would do something like that to her, I can only imagine what it looked like in her perspective. Still, that doesn't change the fact that she should've at least asked me about it before she just went and started getting mad at me for something that she didn't know the whole story to. I just can't get over the fact that we're over... there is no more Katie Brown and Freddy Jones. I don't like anything about the sound of that.
I never want to see her again, for the things she said about me and what she thought that I would go and do... I thought she trusted me and I thought she knew that I would never even have any other girl on my mind, but her. But then, I want to see her and tell her that I'm sorry and that we should just start over... but how are you supposed to start over after something like that happening. Things were said that maybe weren't meant to be... but they were said as there's nothing that either of us can do.
I have an empty feeling inside of me, like a part of me that Katie always seemed to fill the void of... is now gone. I can't believe that after everything we had... now it's just over. It happened too quickly to be real to me. But as much as I continue to say that to myself... it doesn't change the other feelings that I have. The feelings that I can't trust her... and I that don't want someone that I can't trust. There will always be something between me and Katie, but never again... will we be together. You never know when something like that could happen again. I don't want to go through with it. But also, as much as I say that I never would want to go through with it again... I want to, just because I love her so much.
No POV
"Katie! Dinner!" her mom shouted from the bottom of the stairs. No answer was to be heard. The only thing that was heard, was the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs towards her room. "Katie?" her mom asked. She heard a soft knock on the door. Still, she refused to answer, as all that she could get out was a quiet sob here and there. "Are you alright Katie?" Again.. no answer. Seeing as Katie didn't seem to be in the greatest mood, her mom just gave her some space and backed off...
A little bit too much space considering Katie stayed up in her room, door locked, for the next three days. She didn't bother to eat, except for the small stash of food that she had in her room. With it being her third day in her room, she was over the crying and she just kind of lay there... staring at the ceiling. Her eyes still stung and were puffy from the last 2 days. She couldn't move from her spot, as all her attention seemed to be focused on a spot on the ceiling.
Band practice was that night, and Katie didn't even bother to go, not wanting to face Freddy... or Amber. She just stayed in her room... staring the day away.
Being the casually late kind of guy that he was, Freddy was the last band member to walk up the stairs to Dewey's appartment. He opened the door to see everyone sitting on the couches staring at him. "What?" he said.
"Where's Katie?" Summer asked.
"I don't know..." he said, trying to act like nothing had happened. "At home?"
"I've tried to call her a zillion times and she won't answer! Her mom keeps telling me she's busy. You're her boyfriend... you must know what's up."
He just stood there, silence filling the pause. "We..." he didn't want to say it, especially with Amber sitting there right in front of him. Katie and him breaking up would be like telling Amber that she had won. "We broke up..." he mumbled under his breath quietly, hoping that no one would hear, not that they wouldn't ask what he had said right after. Just as the words flew out of his mouth, a satisfying smile grew across Amber's face.
"What?!" Summer said as the rest of the band grew shocked faces.
"What happened?" Zack asked.
"Look.. it's a long story. Can we just practice?" Freddy asked.
"Sure, Spaz boy. Whatever we can do to help..." Dewey said, walking up to him and patting him on the shoulder. "We're here for you," he said as Freddy nodded in a assuring way and walked behind his drum set to get ready to play.
Let's just say... it was a bad practice for Freddy. He couldn't focus and he was messing up constantly. He didn't even wait to say goodbye to everyone when they finished playing their last song, he just rushed out the door as fast as he could. He walked down the busy streets of New York and rushed home, hoping to get there as fast as he could.
Katie's POV
I didn't want to go downstairs and face my family. That was the last thing on my mind, but I needed fresh air. I decided to climb out my escape route, otherwise known as Freddy's way of getting into my room when I'm grounded. I put on my big grey sweatshirt and I opened up my window and climbed on to the roof so that I could step over on to the platform sticking out of my treehouse. I climbed down the pieces of wood nailed to the trunk and jumped down on to the ground. I didn't exactly know where to go, but I just kind of started walking.
I wrapped my arms around myself to keep me warm from the breezy, cool summer night. I kept walking down my street until I saw a tall male figue coming towards me. That tall male figure just happened to look really familliar. As he got closer, I noticed that this time, my assumption was right... it was Freddy. I didn't want to say anything to him, seeing that it would most likely end up in an arguement.
No POV
Freddy walked down his street, just waiting to get home and just go to sleep. Hands in pockets, Freddy walked down the street staring at his feet as the lamp posts created a shadow. Just then, all of a sudden his shadow fell apon another. He looked up, seeing Katie standing in front of him. "Katie?" he said.
She just looked up at him, chocolate brown eyes wide open not exactly knowing what to say back to him. Then, she turned around, walking as fast as she could to get back to her house. Freddy walked quickly behind her, until she began a quick run. He began to chase after her as he could barely catch up to her. "Katie!" he shouted. She just kept running. "Where'd you learn to run so fast?" he said, huffing and puffing trying to catch her. She never answered. She just let her tears fall down her face as she felt the breeze cool them against her skin. "Katie!" he said, finally catching up to her as they got closer to her house. He grabbed her arm and tugged her around gently, and all he could see was the night light making her cheeks shine from her tears.
He just stood there, hardly being able to bare watching her in so much pain. "What?" she said through her tears. "Why do you want to talk to me? What's said was said... we can't change anything about what's happened. There's nothing left to say or do. As much as I regret what happened... you'll never trust me again and I can't do anything to change that. So.. tell me Freddy," she said as tears continued to fall down her face, "What do you want me to do or say?" she said as she sobbed.
Then, the most unexpected thing happened... he hugged her.
