Kate's POV
I've been back for over three weeks now and have pretty much settled in. Things at school are okay and I have some pretty cool people in my classes. Things between me and Andrew are pretty much normal, although he still hasn't opened up to me about his mom. He keeps asking me stuff about my religion, though. It's pretty weird stuff like: So what religion are you? And do you believe in sex before marriage? What about contraception? And they're getting worse. His latest was:
'Katie?'
'Mmhmm', I was reading a magazine.
'Do you not hate God for taking your mom from you?' I mean seriously what is with that question?
'Err, that's a bit deep Andrew.'
'Do you?' he insisted.
'Not really.'
'I mean why go to church? You and your mom did, and look what happened.' I turned to him.
'God wasn't the one who got pissed up on vodka and stoned off his face before crashing his car into my mom's. And even if he did, I'm sure he'd have had his reasons', I said before returning to my article.
'What possible reason could he have had?' I sighed
'Have you ever heard of Reason, Season, Lifetime?' he looked confused. 'A mate in England told me about it. He gave me a little thing with it on when my mom died. I carry it everywhere'. I pulled it out. 'Here.' I passed it to him. 'It says:
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They may seem like a godsend and they are. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
Whether someone comes into your life for reason, season or lifetime embrace the opportunities and experiences they bring and remember, it is all part of His plan.'
He passed it back to me and I folded it back up. Neither of us said a word.
I knocked on my dad's office door. 'Come in' he called, I opened the door.
'My lift's here, I'm off', he turned his chair round to face me.
'Okay. You want a lift home?'
'I dunno, I might stay over at a friend's'
'I'll ring you about 11:30. Make your mind up by then'
'K, thanks' I kissed his cheek and left shutting the door behind me.
I was on my way to a party that Justin's roommate John was holding. I'd met John a couple of times and he seemed okay. When we arrived the party was in full swing. I still didn't know many people and Andrew, who I think had already had a couple of drinks, pointed people out to me as we went in. Then Justin appeared out of nowhere.
'Hey', he shouted over the noise. 'You can put your stuff in my room if you want. You'll never find them again if you put them with the rest of your stuff.' We both nodded and dumped our stuff, including my bag, in Justin's room and went back to the party. We went into the kitchen and grabbed a couple of drinks standing there talking.
'John tends to throw pretty good parties' he said.
'Yeah it seems good. Not totally my music but not bad' he laughed and grabbed some peanuts off the table.
'You know you shouldn't eat them'
'Why?'
'You don't know whose hands have been in there, you could be putting anything in your mouth'
'Don't worry, I've put far worse things I my mouth' he laughed.
'Well don't come crying to me' I said finishing my drink and picking up another.
'Two in a row? You'll end up like my mom, passed out on the floor.' I rolled my eyes.
'ANDREW!' someone I didn't know called. He turned to look at them and turned back to me briefly.
'I won't be long' he said.
I was mainly separated from Andrew and didn't see him much after that, but I had seen some people I recognised from school and was having a really good time. I'd probably drunk a little bit more than recommended if my dad was picking me up but I was still thinking pretty straight and might not need a lift anyway so I wasn't too bothered. I was chatting to Dave, a guy in my French class, when I caught sight of the time, 11:45 - 15 minutes later than dad was going to ring me. I jumped up.
'Shit! Is it really a quarter to twelve?' I asked, he looked at his watch and nodded. 'Fuck! Okay I'll be right back, sorry.' I ran upstairs to Justin's room where my bag was. I passed John as I reached the top of the stairs.
'Hey Kate' he said
'Hi John' I replied brushing past to the door.
'Hey, where you going?' he asked trying to grab my arm but failing.
'I just need my phone' I said opening the door to the bedroom. As soon as I got in I realised why John had tried to hold me back. There were two people in the middle of a heavy make out session on the bed. I clapped my hand over my mouth.
'I'm so sorry', I gasped. I was about to leave phone-less when they broke apart and looked at me. I recognised Andrew instantly, however it took me a couple of seconds to realise who he was with. It was Justin.
A/N Ha-ha you didn't see that coming did you? Okay sorry it was a bit predictable but you know that's life, it's how she reacts that matters! Well hope you liked it anyway despite the predictability. You'll have to review to find out what happens next! Love ya xxx
