"Is everything alright out here?" I hear Logan's voice ask, I silently thank the heavens that someone had come at just the right time.
"I just lost my balance, that's all." I fake a laugh, completely ignoring James' last question.
"I'll help you clean up that cut." Logan insisted drawing attention to my scraped knee. "And we should probably put some ice on you head, gravity really got you good huh?" He jokes, helping me up to my feet.
"I guess so." I reply, before taking his hand in mine. The look on James face is one of utter confusion. Either because he knew he lost this round to Logan. Or, because he spent the last five minutes trying to help but I refused. Either way, I know how James was, he wasn't the type to stop after a couple of tries. He was the driven type. He'd do anything and everything in his own power to get what he wanted. What can I say, he's a hockey player. Which meant he lived off winning.
The throbbing in my head stayed all through the night, I practically raided my entire medicine cabinet trying to find Tylenol to reduce the pain, but after minuets of destroying my entire kitchen looking, I knew for a fact that I was defiantly out of luck.
"So what exactly is the Tylenol for?" My friend Jessica questioned once I opened the front door for her. She was the only person I knew who would be awake at 1:30 in the freaking morning.
"Head ache." I say, shrugging my shoulders as I down the two small white tablets with a glass of ice water.
You doin' okay Kate?" Her voice changed from carefree Jessica, to instant Best Friend mode. "Uh-huh" I mumble before I take another sip of water hoping she'd get the hint that I didn't really want to talk about it. But the face she made told me that she wasn't going to buy it, so I caved.
"I..I honestly really don't know." I suddenly blurt out, feeling incredibly stupid that my friend could read me so well. I shifted from one foot to the other as I placed my side against the kitchen counter leaning on it.
"Maybe it's time to stop telling everyone you're okay and actually tell them the truth, I don't know what happen between James and you the summer you guys broke up. All I know is that you aren't the Katie I used to know back then. Evidently whatever did happen changed you."
*With James*
"Bro, it's 1:30 in the fricken morning, shouldn't you be, oh I don't know maybe sleeping like half of California is doing?" Logan huffed to his friend.
James gripped the metal back that placed firmly in-between his hands, keeping his focus before he lunged the metal bat forward. Hitting the baseball making a ping sound once the ball hit the bat. James always went to the batting cages when he had to let off steam, he tool ass his aggressions and anger out in that place. And tonight, well, that just so happen to be one of those nights. His knuckles were white from his hold, after a few seconds Logan heard another ping, signifying James had hit the ball again.
"Are you just going to continue to ignore me or are you going to explain to me why you needed to see me at this time of night."
"Katie." Was all James said taking a breath before smacking another baseball as hard as he could making him grunt from the force.
Logan didn't say anything, he knew James just wanted a friend to be there with him, not to talk, James never liked talking about his feelings, especially if it was about Katie.
"Summer of 2009, you remember that year?" James breathed out, before wiping the sweat that was building on his forehead and took a swig of his water bottle before getting back into place to his another fast ball.
"Yeah…..yeah I do."
"Then now you know why I called you hear then, huh?" James replied, giving his friend a quick look before going back to his focus on the machine.
*With Katie*
"I can't stay here, I can't continue to live like this, I miss James to much, I have a ticket to Texas my flight leaves in the morning, I'm going to stay with my family for a few months." Katie whispered trying to hold the tears.
"Kate…." Jessica trailed off giving her friend a sad look before pulling her into a friendly hug. "Does James know?"
Katie shook her head no. "I wasn't going to tell him." Katie could no longer let the tears held in her eyes, they started to stream down her cheeks, she didn't bother to wipe them away.
"I feel like he hasn't slept ever since Katie left," Kendall whispered, as He and Carlos observed their friend from the bedroom doorway.
"You know, I really want to ask him to go out with Logan and me tonight," Carlos whispered back. "I mean he's turned me down every time I've invited him out, when he used to never pass up the opportunity… but he hasn't even attempted to screw any girls for the past month and frankly, I don't want to ruin that no-slut streak." He raised his eyebrows. Yeah, they were guys, but they didn't particularly agree with James's type of style. But this eccentric state he had fallen into since he saw Katie again at the beach almost four months ago, worried them more.
"You know I can hear you guys." James said clearly annoyed, as he continued to lay on his side on his mattress. "Dumb asses." He muttered to himself, at their poor attempt at discretion.
James wasn't going to lie. He missed her more than words could express, just then his phone began to vibrate. He picked up his Iphone that was on his night stand. He looked at the screen before his eyes grew wide.
Katie.
Awwww daaayyyy-ummm cliff hanger! Why do you think Katie is calling James? Will James pick up the phone? Tell me what you think will happen or should happen! 5+ comments for the next chapter! I know you guys can do it!..Review!
