It was sorted. The plane tickets were bought. Lyssa and Cat would be flying back to England the next day.
Lyssa walked around her room with Lola, packing boxes in silence.
Neither girl wanted to say goodbye- saying it would make it all final. Make it true.
Suddenly Lola broke the awful awkward silence: 'Video chat me every day, yeah?'
'Of course!' Lyssa choked, tearing up.
The girls hugged and sobbed, abandoning the packing.
After a few hours, however, they couldn't put it off any longer.
They packed all of Lyssa's bags and loaded them into the back of Beck's truck with Cat's stuff, ready for an early departure the next morning.
Andre awoke early that morning, with a strong sense of foreboding. He had no idea why…
He went to text Cat, only to find he already had a message from her.
To: Andre
From: Cat 3
Andre… Me and Lyssa leave for England today.
I love you, and Lyss looks up to you more than anyone, I really hope we keep in touch- for her sake.
For my sake.
I'm sorry I'm breaking this news to you in a text, I couldn't say it to you.
Our plane leaves at 7:30
I love you.
Cat
Xxx
Their plane left at 7:30.
He looked at his alarm clock:
8:00 am
He threw his head back in despair and stared at the corkboard of pictures on his wall
Him and Lyssa at the fair where she won Obe Wan
Him and Cat, in high school.
Him and Cat, in middle school.
Him, Cat and Lyssa. His favourite picture. It had been taken a week ago, before leaving was ever a question, in a photo booth. They were all making funny faces.
A whole line of them had been printed, he kept one, Lyssa got one and Cat got one.
They'd probably thrown theirs away, though…
He took it down and stared at it, using all his might to repress tears.
A week later, Lyssa packed her school bag and walked to Gayle's where she would meet the gang to walk to school.
She reached into her pocket, to make sure her most precious position was there. Phew- it was.
The picture that had been taken a week before she left LA.
Her, her mum and her dad.
Shame- she was finally ready to call Andre her dad and he was halfway across the globe, probably forgetting about her…
Cat stood in the doorway of their house, soaking up the last rays of summer sun. She saw something flutter out of the door and reached down to pick it up.
It was the photo booth photo of her and her family.
She broke down crying on the doorstep:
Had she done the right thing, leaving America?
She was only trying to do right by Lyssa- she didn't want her schooling interrupted. Yeah, that was it.
Deep down Cat knew that it was for purely selfish reasons that they'd left though.
Lyssa had been happy. Sure, she was a little homesick at times, but that wasn't why Cat had ordered the first plane tickets to England she could find.
It was because she was scared. Scared to be in a relationship, scared Lyssa would love Andre more than her, scared of what Andre would say, scared she would get hurt again…
But it wasn't herself that got hurt, she realised. It was Lyssa, and now this child.
She looked down at the pregnancy test in her hand that read positive and cried harder than ever.
Two children without constant contact with their father, all because of her.
All. Her. Fault.
A/N aww, poor Cat! I hate leaving her sad like this, so I'll update real quick! If you read, why not review? xxx
