Surprise News
"Sara! What in the world are you doing here" I yelled keeping her away from me at all costs. If Katrin came out here and saw us, she'd get so mad…I'm already on thin ice in this relationship.
"I came by to be with you Brae, isn't that what you want" he expression changed and she seemed upset, not that I cared. "Sarah, me and you are OVER I don't love you anymore and I got Katrin now" she frowned and put her finger up to my lips.
"Shhh, don't talk, you'll say something you regret" she placed her lips over mine and I pulled away. "NO! Leave me alone" I turned around and ran before with my luck, Katrin comes to look for me.
I went back into the house and the entire table was staring at me. "Brae, are you ok" Ava asked and I tried not to breathe so hard so they wouldn't notice, I wasn't ready to tell them about Sarah just yet. Katrin stood up and walked over to me, her blue eyes staring at me.
"Bradin Westerly, do you have lipstick on your face" her eyes grew wide. Damn it! The kiss from Sarah, I couldn't tell her she'd never believe me. I wiped at my lips. "Nope, just was running…I uhh didn't want Tanner to see me didn't want to put up with him and so I'm all red" she nodded, and looked satisfied with my answer. Thank god!
I took her hand after dinner and led her upstairs to my room, then leaned over and locked the door. "I love you Katrin, never forget that" she nodded and when I kept talking she leaned over and kissed me, stopping my words right in their tracks. "You are so amazing" I mouthed quietly as I tilted her over onto the bed in laying position. She was lying under me and I had her pinned.
I kissed her neck and she sighed, tracing her nails down my spine. Seconds later the door opened and she stood up, flipping me off the bed. "Ouch!" Jay stood in the doorway. "Uhh sorry, I interrupted, you two want ice cream, Ava's getting it for Nikki and Cameron" I shook my head but Katrin nodded. "Yeah, we'll be right down" I got back up on the bed and just as Katrin was about to leave I pulled her down with me.
"Bray…stop it" she whined. "I gotta tell you something" I took in a deep breath and decided I'd better warn her about Sarah.
She looked worried at my sudden mood change. "What's wrong" I sat up in bed and waiting for a minute, she put her hand on my shoulder. "I told you about Sarah right" she nodded, "The wacko who got sent off to boarding school" I almost chuckled not that I was in a laughing mood. "Yeah, well…she's back" I bit my lip.
She moved her hand slowly from my shoulder and looked up at me as if in a slow motion movie. "Oh" that was all, oh, nothing more; she loved to keep me in suspense. "So she was the one that kissed you right" I was about to nod but my eyes bulged out when I realized what she said. "But how did…" she placed a finger across my lips.
"I know the red on your lips wasn't from heat or running, but I'm glad you told me and I know you don't love her anymore right" I wanted to nod but realized my head was stuck. Sarah had changed and yes I did love Katrin but I didn't know that the special bond between us had not yet broken.
"Bradin just tell me you love me" I nodded, "I do" she looked me in the eyes. "No not like that, say I love you" I got up and walked out of the room and for a second saw the tears in her eyes.
I walked down to the beach with my surfboard and surfed for a little and wiped out like 2 times in a matter of 10 minutes. I couldn't think and I couldn't concentrate on anything but Katrin right now.
"Hey Kansas, what's wrong with you today" Erika stood on the beach. "I am just…thinking, forget it I better go" she grabbed my hand and looked up at me. "Bradin something is wrong, tell me you know you can talk to me" I decided I'd give her the short version and get out of here because now I was having a strange feeling something was wrong. My cell phone rang and I picked it up stopping Erika while she was talking.
"Hello" the person on the other end shuffled some papers first then answered. "Hey Bray, I need you to come home now it's important" I looked at Erika. "Sorry something happened, I need to go" I waved and ran.
Running into the house the entire family stood there and all stared at me. I noticed the pain on Katrin's face from before. "What's going on" I had a smile when I came in but now since no one smiled I noticed something was really wrong. "Bradin, I'm leaving" my expression went to surprised from disappointed. "What" she walked over to me and sat me down on the couch. "Leaving" she repeated. "I'm going to Florida for this big modeling thing and I can't turn it down"
I didn't know what to say. "Uh…right, ok, when" she looked down at the paper. "We're leaving for the airport in an hour or so" I looked around the crowded room. "We?" She nodded, "Susannah and Ava are going with me" there was still another question that puzzled me. "How long will you be gone?" I saw tears come back to her eyes. "If I get this job…Bradin I'm not coming back" I couldn't believe she'd leave me.
"No, you can't leave Katrin I want you here with me…please don't leave!" she looked up at me her eyes filled with tears and I could tell she was trying not to cry. "I love you Bradin, I better go, bye" she got up and ran upstairs to the room and I was just frozen, sitting on the couch.
"Aunt Ava are you two coming back" Ava nodded, "Yeah, we'll only be there to help her out, Bradin I know this hurts but this is a good thing for her and you'll see her again eventually" I turned around and ran outside and just ran and ran down the sidewalk until my legs wouldn't carry me anymore. I was only a little ways down the beach. I saw our car drive past me and then pull into a parking lot close by.
Jay opened the door. "You coming mate" I nodded and got in next to Katrin, we didn't say a word the entire way. When we got to the airport and she grabbed her tickets and stuff out of the back, Ava handed me a suitcase and without a single word I took it. We walked, no one speaking but an entire conversation took place between me and Katrin with just our eyes.
We stopped at the gate and put the stuff down. The announcer came over the loudspeaker. "Everyone else please board now" she looked at me, this was it.
She walked over and hugged. "Bradin tell me you love me please, tell me Sarah doesn't matter" I opened my mouth but nothing came out. Tears quickly appeared on her face. "Bradin please" I didn't speak but my mouth stayed open. She grabbed her stuff and tears pouring down her cheeks now she ran into the plane. Jay stood behind me and tapped me on the back. I ran to the window and watched the plane taxi out. Now it was too late and I knew it but I placed my fingers on the window and whispered, if the window was alive I doubt even it would have heard me.
"I love you Katrin, always" tears appeared on my cheeks and didn't go away even the entire way home as me and Jay sat silent in the car. "I love you" I whispered again as we left the airport and I saw a plane take off into the sky. If I never saw her again she'd never hear the truth but I KNEW I would, I had hope that I'd see her again and the moment I did, I would tell her I love her with all my heart.
