MYSTREET REWRITTEN CHAPTER 83: GUILTY PARTY
"Do you really think this was a good idea?" "She chose to leave Nicole, I didn't kick her out!!" Katelyn yelled it had been two days since her roomates left two days since she had only spoken to anyone. Now here she was sitting on the couch with her best friend her only friend at this point.
Nicole had waited a few days to talk to her she said she wanted to wait until everyone had some time to cool down. "You still would have kicked her out though, wouldn't you?" "N....NO!!" Nicole glared she could easily tell when Katelyn was lying.
"(sigh) Okay maybe I would have.....but she deserves it both of them did you see what they did!!" "Your started to sound like Dante." Nicole said glancing over to the window she could see someone walking outside but she didn't care enough to see who it was.
"Well maybe Dante has a point....aren't you mad at them Nicole?" "I am mad and I don't blame you for acting out but you need to understand you're not exactly in the right here either."
".....What do you mean?" Katelyn asked she knew Nicole was right, but she didn't want to admit it she was too stubborn for that. "You're the one who let Ein into the play despite several of your friends warning you not to. You should have listened to them Katelyn."
".....I..." the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Katelyn said trying to get away from admitting her mistakes as much as possible. But when she opened the door...... "Travis?" another mistake of hers showed up.
".....Katelyn......Nicole." Travis said looking at the ground his voice shaking but also bitter. "Hey Travis what are you doing here?" Nicole asked a warm smile on her face.
"I wanted to talk to her about what happened." "Alone?" Nicole asked. "N.....No you can stay it isn't really that important." Travis stuttered on his words.
"I think it is besides Dante is probably freaking out over me being here anyway I better go talk to him." Nicole said checking her phone there were no new messages from him which she was thankful for.
"Okay see you, Nicole." "See you." Katelyn said as Nicole whispered to Travis. "I was talking to her about the whole letting Ein being in the play thing so if you could talk to her about that I'd appreciate it."
"I will." "Thank you, good luck." Nicole offered Travis a friendly smile before leaving.
"Did you hear that?" "......Yeah." Katelyn said there was an awkward tension between the two neither of them could bare to look at each other.
"Why didn't you just listen to them?" "Because (sigh) I......I....." "You what Katelyn?" Travis's voice was now full of coldness.
"I got caught up in the spotlight....." Katelyn mumbled. "You what?" "I GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE SPOTLIGHT, OKAY?!" Katelyn screamed the world seemed to spin around her as her eyes became red.
"I WAS CAUGHT UP IN HAVING MY DREAM COME TRUE THAT I COULDN'T THINK ABOUT WHAT I WAS DOING I SHOULD LISTENED BUT I DIDN'T BUT ALSO I DIDN'T KNOW. I DIDN'T KNOW EIN HAD DONE ALL OF THAT NONE OF US DID THE WHOLE LAURANCE THIN YEAH BUT THAT WAS ALL SPECULATION SO I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST SOME BITCH THAT APH HATED BECAUSE HE WAS A WEREWOLF. I DIDN'T KNOW AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT NANA WOULD BETRAY US LIKE THAT I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST HER THAT SHE HAD CHANGE. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED YES BUT I DIDN'T KNOW!!!!!!" Katelyn covered her mouth as Travis stared at her.
"I hope you know you crying doesn't make me feel bad for you." Travis said as Katelyn looked at him. "I know you said you didn't know but you still should have listened to what your friends were saying. Not only that but when they got stabbed all you seemed to care about was your show."
"I DID CARE!!!!!" "Well, you sure didn't show it." Travis gritted his teeth he had so many emotions that it almost felt like he had none at all.
Katelyn stomped the ground as tears fell. Travis was right she had been self-centered that night too caught up in her desires.
"This is all my fault....I'm sorry." she whispered. Travis shook his head. "You all blame yourselves and then you go ahead and do it all over again."
"Huh?" "You heard me. Aphmau did the exact same thing before and look where she is now." "Look where we are now."
".....What do you want me to say then?" Katelyn was starting to get angry at Travis. "First off don't get mad at me just because you had to admit your mistakes. Second I don't want you to say anything to me." Travis handed her a ticket.
"What is this?" "The cafe is hosting a Valentine's Day Party and some of your friends are going which gives you the chance to talk to them."
Katelyn shook her head. "I can't do that not so soon." "I wasn't asking you." Travis said glaring at her.
"You all will talk to each other and you all will at least try to forgive each other." "How am I supposed to do that when even you won't forgive me?" "I never said I wouldn't forgive you Katelyn I'm just upset at everyone and want things to go back to normal, and this is how we're going to do it."
"What if nothing changes?" Katelyn said she really did want this but at the same time she didn't know if it was possible.
"Then at least you can say you tried and at least I can say that I was in the right to forgive you." Travis's voice changed from bitter to soft and broken.
"Travis......" Katelyn grabbed the ticket from him she really didn't deserve this. "I'll try.....for you."
Travis tried not to smile or let his heart bounce. ".....I'll meet you there then." "What do you mean?"
"I work there I'm going to be there I'll make sure you guys run into each other." he said as he began to walk towards the door.
"Travis....." Katelyn began to speak. "Do you think you can forgive Nana and Aph?"
"Of course I can that's something I hate about myself Katelyn.....I can never hold a grudge."
Travis walked into his house Garroth and Laurance were gone but his best friend wasn't.
"What did you say to her?" "I told her to talk to them at the party if she can do that than maybe I won't feel so guilty for forgiving them."
"You don't have to forgive them you know? You shouldn't forgive them." Dante wasn't screaming this time he knew Travis better than anyone. He knew how hard this was for him. Besides he had done enough screaming.
"I know.....but I just can't help it. I'm not like you Dante I can't just hold a grudge until the day I die." "I know I just don't want to see you get hurt by them again.....but if you want to give them another chance you can just know that I won't."
"Thanks.....are you and Nicole going?" "With them around? No way we're going over to her parents' house for a cookout instead."
"Sounds like fun." "It will be.....tell Aaron and Vylad I said hi alright?"
"Well do." Travis said as he went upstairs to his room Dante watched him and when he was out of hearing distance he said to himself.
"I really wish you would stop forgetting everything that they do."
