Chapter Four
The large flat screen TV portrays loud noises and colorful pictures. My favorite show, Celebrities Underwater, is being played right now, but I'm uninterested. My eyes are on the screen but my mind is elsewhere. I can't seem to focus on the TV show because my attention is directed towards something else.
I try to watch famous superstars swim underwater and for a second, I start to get engrossed in the show, but I lose interest when I remember what happened this morning. I start to daydream and reminisce about the past and I end up with a huge frown on my face.
Just then my big sister, Trina, comes down the stairs with an immense smile on her face. She's wearing a grey hoodie with pink shorts and her hair has curls at the bottom. "Hey sis! What's up?" She says, with excitement and I reply back with less enthusiasm.
"Hey Trina," I say, dejectedly and she notices the sad tone in my voice.
"Aww, what's wrong Tori? Why the sad face?" She asks, and I find it shocking that she would even ask me how I was feeling.
"It's nothing Trina," I lie and I know that Trina won't believe me.
"Tori, you're my sister. I can tell when you're upset so just tell me what's bothering you," she says and I decided that I should just give in. Trina is my big sister after all and even though we always fight, I know I can come to her when I'm having problems.
"Alright, I'll tell you…just don't laugh at me okay?" I say and I cut the TV off. Trina sits next to me on the couch and I turn to face her. I clear my throat before I explain my difficulty. "What if I told you I like someone, but this someone was a girl?" I say and I suddenly regret what I just said.
"Well I would say, it's your life and I'd still love you even if you liked monkeys dressed in clown suits," Trina explains with a loving smile and I feel a sense of relief.
"Okay so I like this girl and she kissed me," I say
"Umm, I don't see how this is a problem. You like a girl and she kissed you. You should be overjoyed!" Trina says and I shake my head.
"No, that's not the problem. The problem is that, this girl only kissed me because she was drunk and she was dared to," I explain and Trina nods her head. "And know I'm starting to think that she doesn't like me as much as I like her," I say and after I'm done talking Trina asks me a question that I was scared to answer.
"Who is this girl you like?"
"Ummm…it's Cat. I like her a lot and when we kissed it was like fireworks and skyrockets. It was amazing, but it didn't even mean anything to her.
"Well how do you know? Did you ask Cat how she felt about the kiss?" Trina says, trying to find the silver lining, but it wasn't there.
"I did, I asked her why she did it and she didn't even remember it happened," I say, miserably. "I should just give up, she doesn't like me."
Trina rubs my back while I frown and she sighs before answering. "I'm sorry that happened Tori, really I am. It sucks when you like someone but they don't even care. It's honestly the worst feeling ever but you're a Vega. You can get through this, I promise." Trina says with a supportive smile and I can't help but crack a small smile.
"I'll tell you what, since you're depressed and I surprisingly don't have any plans, I will go to Wankos Warehouse. I'm going to buy us some candy and rent some movies. We are going to have a sister movie night!" Trina says excitedly. "So what'd you say?"
"I say, it sounds like a plan," I say with a big smile. Trina nods her head and goes back upstairs for five minutes. She comes back down to living room and now instead of wearing pink shorts, she's wearing black jeans. She grabs her car keys and walks towards the door.
"Okay I'm going to the store. I should be back in an hour, I'll see you later," she says and I say goodbye. She walks out the door and I continue to watch TV and this time I focus on the show.
I feel so much better now that I told Trina what was bothering me and I'm really looking forward for our movie night. I need something to take my mind off of Cat and a movie night is perfect.
About twenty minutes has gone by and I'm still sitting on the couch watching TV. I'm waiting for Trina to arrive so we can start watching movies. I'm starting to feel impatient and I'm hoping Trina arrives soon before I fall asleep.
I was about to drift to sleep when the doorbell rang, making me rise up immediately. "Hold on just a minute!" I yell and I get up and walk towards the door. I open the door, expecting it to be Trina, but it wasn't her. It was the one person I was trying not think about.
"Cat? What are you doing here?" I ask, shocked to see her here. I look at her and see she's wearing a dark blue shirt, a white sweater, and blue shorts that stop just below her knees.
"Tori I have to tell you something….." she says with a grave look on her face. She has a small frown plastered on her face and I start to feel concerned.
"Cat, what's wrong? Why are you-"
I couldn't even finish my sentence. I was cut off because, before I knew it, Cat presses her lips up against mine and I feel sparks fly through my head. The kiss lasted for at least ten seconds and when it was time to pull away, I felt so disordered.
"Why did you just kiss me?"
"I lied to you Tori," Cat says and I feel even more confused.
"What are you talking about?" I ask, trying to figure everything out.
Cat walks inside my house and I shut the front door. Cat sits down on the couch and I take a seat next to her. Cat looks at me with a gloomy look on her face and she sighs before answering.
"Last night at Beck's party, when we were playing truth or dare, I kissed you because I wanted to, not because I was drunk," Cat confesses and I feel a huge weight of doubt lift off of my shoulder. "I didn't even have anything to drink, I promise. I was completely and honestly sober."
"If you were sober then why did you lie to me?"
"I only lied because I didn't know if you liked me back. I was afraid and I didn't know what to say, so I lied. I shouldn't have done that because I could tell by the look on your face, that you were hurt when I told you that the kiss didn't mean anything to me. I feel so bad for lying to you and I'm sorry Tori," Cat apologizes. She looks at me with sorrow in her eyes and I don't say anything. I just sit in silence while Cat looks at me.
"Do you hate me?" She asks in a soft voice and I start to laugh. She looks at me with a confused expression on her face and it makes me laugh even harder. "What's so funny? Why are you laughing?"
"Cat no matter what you do, I could never hate you. I love you and it took me a game of truth or dare to realize it," I say and I grab Cat's soft petite hands. She smiles at me and I swear on my life, she has the cutest smile in the entire world.
"I love you too, Tori and I promise from now on, I'll never lie to you again," she promises and I laugh. "So...does this mean that we're like together? Like a couple?" Cat asks, with hope in her eyes and my smile becomes bigger.
"Only if you want to be with me-"
"I do! I really want to be with you Tori," she exclaims and I laugh before agreeing.
"Then I guess we're girlfriend and girlfriend then."
"Does this mean that I can kiss you?" Cat asks and I smirk.
"Yes, you can kiss me anytime you want to."
"Well I want to right now."
"Then go for it," I say with a smile and with that being said, Cat kisses me on the lips and somewhere in this world fireworks just went off in the sky.
I feel butterflies, no not butterflies, but ecstasy. I've never felt so heavenly. I know in my heart that this is where I want to be and I know that I will never love anyone as much as I love Cat. I'm caught up in love and there is no going back. I don't care if it was because of a nasty drunken game of truth or dare, I found someone who makes me happy.
I'm in love and that's all that matters.
