Chapter 2

Kaitlyn's POV

My heart felt like it had stopped and had been popped like a balloon. I didn't know how to react or what to say. Until..

"But w-why?" I asked, feeling myself tearing up.

Peter sighed. "Ugh, well... Kaitlyn, I've been hiding this from you for a while, but my parents got a divorce and my mom wants Patricia and I to come back to the US and live with her... I know I should have told you sooner, but I didn't want to hurt you... I'm sorry..."

I was so mortified. "Well, Peter, you know what hurts? It hurts that you would actually keep something like that from me! Yeah sure, I would've been hurt to begin with, but I wouldn't have been as hurt as I am now!" I yelled, the tears coming on harder now.

Peter looked down to the ground, obviously feeling bad. "Kaitlyn.. I really am sorry.."

I looked at Peter for one last time. "Leave me alone, Peter... I can't be bothered anymore..." I said, as I took off my glasses and ran back to the dorms. My eyes were burning from the tears. My heart was hurting from the heartbreak. I just couldn't believe what had happened.

I put on my glasses to make sure I had the right hall, but my eyes were so blurred from tears I could barely even see where I was going even with my glasses on. However, I could tell that I was on the right hall.

Finally, I got to my dorm. I unlocked it, went inside, and closed it. I collapsed right there by the door and let out the loud horrific sobs that I had been holding in. I could feel the deep hole in my chest. It hurt so bad. It was the worst emotional pain I could ever deal with.

I heard a soft knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"It's... Taelia." I heard Taelia's familiar deep voice. "Can I please come in?" She asked, nicely.

I was debating if I should or shouldn't. She was probably going to laugh at me right in my face. Like the prick she really is. But something told me to open the door...

I slowly got up, and opened the door. She was standing there; with her hands behind her back, in her familiar pink outfit and short red hair.

"What do you want?" I said, wiping my eyes.

"Can we talk?" She asked, full of anticipation.

I looked back in my room. "Yeah... I guess..." I let her in, and closed the door behind me.

I sat on my bed, while she sat on Aelita's bed. We were silent for a few minutes. I was really confused.

"Look," She finally said, "I just want you to know that I'm sorry for what happened. Everything. I honestly don't know why I'm so horrid. Also, I heard what happened between you and Peter."

I was dumbstruck. I didn't know what to say really. I didn't know whether I should believe her either.

"Yeah... It sucks... Go ahead and laugh in my face." I said, bluntly. I wasn't really in the greatest of moods.

Taelia sighed. "Kaitlyn, listen. Believe me or don't believe me, but I really do feel bad for what I did. You and Peter seemed really happy together, & I shouldn't have interfered. Also, think about this: If it's meant to be, it'll be. If it's not, then it's not."

I looked up at Taelia. She smiled at me, a nice one. Not a mean, hateful smile. A real smile.

"Do you... really think so?" I said. I didn't know what else to say.

"Yeah, I know so." She said. "Kaitlyn, I really do mean it when I say that I'm tired of fighting with you. It's not gonna get us anywhere. I really am sorry for all that's ever happened."

I looked down at the ground, and sighed. I wasn't really sure if I should accept or not, but hey. I'm all for making amends with people. I don't know. It makes you feel really good for some reason.

I let out a small smile. "Okay, Taelia. I'll accept."

Taelia smiled even bigger. "Splendid. Now, do you feel like venting? If you don't want to though, that's fine. You probably don't trust me yet, which I can understand."

Hmm. This is really weird. "Well Taelia... I'll tell you later. Just let me see if I can actually trust you first. Hope that isn't insulting or anything..."

Taelia nodded. "It's fine, Kaitlyn. Don't worry about it."

I sighed.

Taelia got up from Aelita's bed. "But hey, listen. Don't let him overwhelm your mind too much. When he's gone, you'll forget all about him. Trust me, I went through the same thing..."

"I hope so..." I said, as I looked off to the side.

Taelia smiled. " I KNOW so. Just try and take it easy." She said. "Well, I gotta get back to my dorm. It was nice talking to you, Kaitlyn. Really, it was."

"Alright, you too." I said, smiling a little.

She got up, and went to the door. But just as she was walking out, "And who knows? You might find you another guy, nicer than Peter." Taelia said, and smiled. "Bye for now!"

Taelia slammed the door shut.

I was really confused. What in the world just happened? Did I really make amends with my most sworn enemy? She was like the human girl version of XANA.

Was it a scheme of hers to try and get to me? Or was she really tired of fighting and trying to be nice like she said she was? Hmm. Something just doesn't feel right.
