Chapter 32
Friday Morning…
Kat POV
"Kat get up! Come on! You're going to be late for school!" My mom yelled, shaking me.
"I'm not going," I mumbled into my pillow.
"Kat, you most certainly are! You're not missing school just because you're tired or lazy!"
"Mom, let her stay home. She… She needs to," said Cody, standing in my doorway.
"Why?"
"It's kind of hard to explain. But trust me. She really shouldn't be back at school yet."
"Well… Ok. But you better be back on Monday."
My mom walked out as Cody walked in.
"Thank you!" I said, wrapping my arms around Cody.
"You're welcome. I don't exactly know what's going on, but I know school's probably the last place you want to be right now."
"Yeah…"
"Are you still going to the dance tomorrow night?"
"Yeah."
"You are!?"
"Ross is taking me."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I don't really know why exactly…"
"Are you going to be ok today?"
"Yeah. I think so."
"Because I can get Ross or Rocky to come over and check on you. Mom and dad will be at work. They won't know."
"No. I think I'll be fine."
"Kat? I have something I need to tell you."
"What?"
"I'm sorry about erasing your phone and stuff."
"You know they couldn't get the pictures off my laptop? Everything's gone."
"I know. But… I have something for you," Cody said, handing me a memory stick.
"What's this?"
"Your pictures… And… something else… But don't look at the last file until tomorrow night after the dance, ok?"
"Ok. Is it really all my pictures?"
"Yeah. Before I erased your phone, I took all your pictures off. You don't think I'd be that mean, do you?"
"Well I was kind of convinced!"
"Well-"
"CODY! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" My mom yelled.
"BE RIGHT THERE! I'll see you in a few hours. Please don't do anything stupid. You're my sister, and I love you. I don't want to see anything happen to you like it almost did to Riker."
"I love you too Cody."
