Traite

It's been about a year or so since it happened. We always said it. As long as we knew what it was than it was okay. And that was good enough for us. We don't talk about it at all or if can't help it. Just because she always gets this ashamed look and I just can't stand it. We don't talk about it and even mentioning certin things gets her upset because it was related to it. The fire in the strawberry fields, she can't go through a whole conversation about it without her getting that look. I try to make sure only the people that need to know, know. Anyone else we tell the same story. A knife had hemlock on it and without Katie knowing got hit. That is all we say and end the subject at that. Thankfully people haven't asked too much about it since on the day it happened she didn't see to many people.

Except for one numb skull. The one, the only, give up folks for CONNOR STOLL! Yeah when the topic comes up he wants to know more about how it happened. Like whose knife was it and how it suddenly got hemlock on it. And how she managed to get hit. And why she always gets a weird look when we do talk about it. And why I punch him every time Katie has to leave the room during such a conversation. I mean really can a guy not take a hint? I even told him to stop asking questions about it and the idiot still did. That's when I punched and smacked him (one for me and one for Katie since she left the room.) because of his lack of brain cells.

" Travis come on! I have a date tonight and I don't need to be bloody and bruised for it!" Connor complained.

" Than stop getting my girlfriend upset." I said.

" Dude it's not my fault every time I see you guys she PMS like crazy! All I did was ask about the time she got the knife in her." He defended.

I groaned. " Travis you see us once a week. That would mean every week she would be on her period. That is physically impossible. Also you should know by now that it is a very touchy topic for her."

" Alright well I got to go. Lou Ellen said I had to take a shower this time or else the place she wants to go to won't let us in. Waste of money if I have to shower just to get in. See you around!" And with that he left.

I went to the room me and Katie shared. She was sitting on the bed facing the wall with her hand under her shirt. I knew she was tracing the scar again. She does that when ever she gets really upset.

" You okay?" I asked.

She nodded numbly. " Yeah. I'm fine." She sat up and fixed her shirt. " Did he leave yet?"

" Just left. I punched him and slapped him. One for you and one for me. Which one do you want to claim?" I smiled.

She smiled slightly. " The punch if it was really hard."

I laughed slightly. " Really are you okay?"

Katie smiled a bit wider. " I'm perfectly fine. I promise. What do you want to do tonight? We could watch a movie, go out, order in."

" I would love to just lay around and do nothing." I said. I jumped on the bed and didn't try to make an effort to do anything.

" Travis I have a question."

" Katie I might answer your question."

She sat in front of me. " After it happened. Why were you so nice? You could have been like everyone else and just gone on with there lives. You could have acted like it never happened and forget about me."

I sat up a bit. " Katie why wouldn't I be nice to you? I mean I can't say I fully understood at the time why you did it but all I knew is that you were hurt and that the last thing you needed was another person asking why. So I just didn't ask till you were ready to tell."

" I never said thank you. So thank you Travis for not asking why." Katie leaned over and kissed me. It was gentle but sweet. Just like her. She pulled away and smiled.

I smiled back at her. " Alright enough of the depressing stuff. Let go find a movie."

A/N Hey guys! So I know this is shorter than what I normally write but I couldn't really come up with any good ideas so I thought if I put it after all the drama happened than I could come up with a better story. I know some people were probably hoping for this whole drama filled chapter but I'm not that good at drama. I can write it happening but I can't write the after math. Any who please review and if you have a couple you want to see let me know in a comment. And I just realized that I never said that if you want to see another one shot of a couple I've already done go ahead and ask for another!

C YA! LUV YA! E-SAW-BELL!
