(A/N: Hi all! Chapters are going to take a while these days with all the blood homewor teacher are giving us! Hopefully I get another one up before Easter! I'm thinking of starting something new cause this story isn't excatly good... I'm trying to think of something thats just like WOW! Enjoy this chapter, it's very short but you learn to live with it.)
Katie was bored. That was the only way to explain it, bored. She was sitting at her computer starring at the desktop background, picture of her and her friends at her new home.
She had nothing to do, the skatepark would be packed, nothing on TV and no one on MSN! She was going crazy! And to top it all off none of her favourite authors on fanfiction had updated! (A/N: Couldn't help myself!)
She didn't have any e-mails to reply to and she didn't feel like surfing the net.
Katie tried
hard to think of something.
It only took her a minute to remember
having 287 unread e-mails on her old email account.
Katie quickly signed into it.
It loaded and Katie scanned through the messages noticing they were mostly from Summer and the odd one from hotmail. Katie looked at the date of the most recent email from Summer. It was from the day Katie had tried to speak to her. The excited happy feeling in her tummy left instantly as she remembered how Summer had ignored her.
"May as well give it a go," she said to herself.
Katie clicked on the newest e-mail. As it opened her heart began to beat faster, what if Summer was a total cow and went off at her in the e-mail!
Katie quickly read the short message.
'Hi Katie! I'm glad to know your still alive. I'm sorry I missed you online just now. I went downstairs and forgot to put my status to away! Zack and I are still together. Freddy moved but still talk to him! I hope to hear from you soon. I miss you! I hope you can forgive me and reply to this. If you're in a really good mood and not angry at all call me, I haven't moved, you know my number! (As she read what Summer had written about knowing the number she quietly said it under her breath.) I'm actually going now! Bye, Summer.'
Tears formed in Katie's eyes... She didn't know what to do... write back?
Katie hit the reply button hastily but when the screen loaded she didn't know what to type! Her fingers froze over the keys, motionless. She typed hello several times in various ways before deciding on a simple 'Hi Summer' and continuing from there.
After finally finishing what she thought was a decent e-mail she nervously clicked send and let out a heavy sigh. Maybe she should put the past behind her... It would help if she wanted to.
Katie jumped as her mobile began to ring on the other side of the room. She ran to grab it, she looked at the caller ID before she picked up.
"Hi Jason," Katie said flatly into the speaker.
"Hey babe. Want to catch a movie or swing by my house?" Jason said from the other end of the line in one the worlds sleaziest voices.
"I'd love to but I'm busy," Katie lied.
"Look, Kat, if you don't want to be my girl anymore all you have to do is say so," Jason said casually.
"Why wouldn't I?" Katie asked in a fake sweetness.
"I dunno. I just got the feeling you didn't."
"Oh ok. Well, cya," Katie said avoiding the subject.
"Bye. I love you."
Katie and Jason had been 'the' couple for years! Everyone thought they were made for each other... everyone bar Katie.
She knew she wanted Freddy or the skater boy... Freddy was her first choice but you don't always get what you want.
Freddy had been doing a lot of thinking since his last conversation with Summer and Zack. Summer had said Katie was on her old MSN address... he had stayed logged on for hours at a time but not once had she come on... In the end he'd give up and gone to the pizza shop with his best mate and hired a few games.
Tuesday came quickly for Katie. She did her usual and headed to the skate park in the morning. When she arrived there appeared to be no one there.
"Hello? Dan?" Katie said into the darkness of morning.
"Hi Katie," he replied coming up behind her.
"Dan! You scared the life out of me!" Katie cried.
"So, hows Saturday week sound?"
"Huh?" Katie questioned confused.
"Change of plans for the competition against Loops," Dan told her.
"Hmm. Do I have to?" Katie smiled meekly.
"Yes! So it's a date?" Dan laughed.
"Ok, ok," Katie sighed.
They didn't skate for long but they were better friends by the end of it. The had traded phone numbers and MSN addresses. (A/N: Yes, I am obsessed with MSN:D)
Summer went back to the car and got in her head throbbing.
"Has he left?" Owen asked her.
"Yeah," Summer answered softly, everything seemed so loud.
The rest of the car trip was silent and Summer could fell herself getting dizzier, the world around her spinning faster and faster by the second.
Owen stopped the car outside of Summers house, they said their good byes and he watched her walk in the door to make sure she was safe.
Summer unlocked the door and remembered she was home alone for the next 4 hours. She began to walk up the stairs, half way up she found a cool sweat had covered her body. Her breathing was heavy and her head felt as though it was cracking. The stairs became fuzzier and fuzzier until all she could see was black. She collapsed and fell down the stairs. Summers head hit the tiles at the bottom of the stairs first and a small trickle of blood ran down her forehead.
The phone rang in the deadly silent Hathaway house, no one answered it. The answering mechine clicked and the message echoed through the house. A loud beep followed and then Mrs. Hathaways voice.
'Hi Summer. You must still be at the train station. I've only just finished my first meeting meaning I have two left! Don't expect me home until at leat 10 tonight. I know that's 6 hours later than I said but I didn't add travel time in before and the meetings are running late. You can have whatever you what for dinner. Your dada gets back from his trip in two days! Bye sweetie. Stay safe.'
Zack woke and it took him a little while to remember where he was. He looked next to him where a quite plump lady in her mid 50s was sleeping soundly. Zack sat in his seat for a little while trying not to make noise loud wake her but in the end his tummy was growling so loudly he had to get up and go to the food cart.
"We will arrive in 3 hours," A voice said over the speakers as he sat at a table with a bacon and egg roll and a orange juice.
Just as predicted the train rolled into the station 3 hours to the minute of when Zack was eating his roll.
Zack gathered his bag and looked out the window for Freddy. It wasn't hard to find him as he was very tall, much taller than Zack remembered him.
Freddy made his way to the door Zack was coming out of and greeted him before he'd even left the train.
Zack walked up to Freddy and looked up to him. "I remember you being shorter than me!"
"I was but I'm taller than you now, small fry!" Freddy laughed.
"I've missed ya, mate," Zack smiled.
"Aw, come here," Freddy cooed pulling Zack into a tight hug.
The boys were home and settled in by 12. It was time to catch up and they were talking about everything from school to girls.
Freddy was going through the list of his recent girlfriends when Zack asked Freddy a very odd question, "Do you still like Katie?"
"Zack, I haven't seen her in years!" Freddy exclaimed.
"So? Do you? You told me you'd love her forever."
"I think I will," Freddy sighed tears falling freely from his eyes. Zack had hit a sore spot and Freddy was feeling it.
"I'm sorry mate. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sure she still thinks about you as much as she used to," Zack soothed rubbing Freddy's shoulder roughly.
"Do you love Summer?" Freddy asked breaking the awkward silence that had formed.
"Yeah... I do," Zack answered thoughtfully.
"Have you told her?" Freddy questioned.
"No... it's to hard! I've tried but I can never get it out," Zack admitted.
"You have to tell her! You have no idea what the hell of keeping it inside and never being able to tell the person you love that you do!" Freddy said with a painful sorrow in his voice.
"You'll see her again if it's meant to be, mate," Zack assured him.
"I hope I do..." Freddy trailed off.
