Rating: G probably.
Status: In progress

Kenneth sat on a bench, staring dejectedly at the ground. In all honesty, he knew it was a good thing that he and Andrea weren't together anymore, but it still hurt. She'd lied to him, betrayed him, and worst of all she'd accused him of doing those things to her. Sure, he liked Katie, there was no denying that, but the thought never crossed his mind to pursue those feelings in any way. Not while he was with Andrea. He just wasn't that kind of guy. Not to mention that they'd been together for years. He was used to seeing her every day. He loved her, even if that did make him somewhat of a fool.

The very thought of not having Andrea in his life made him panic slightly. He knew it was ridiculous, especially considering that just before he'd come here she'd come to see him. They'd gone to a park near Kenneth and Patricia's place, and they'd fought. Andrea'd screamed at him, called him all sorts of terrible names, and try as he might, all it did was make Kenneth sad. He hadn't yelled back, he hadn't even said anything. Eventually he'd just walked away, and she'd yelled at him even more for that. Called him a coward, said he wasn't worth her time. He knew she was just taking her anger out on him, she'd always been somewhat like that.

Now, he sat waiting for Katie. In normal circumstances he'd probably be nervous about the whole thing, sitting here waiting for a girl he'd been hopelessly attracted to for even longer than he'd loved Andrea, but today, he just felt like crying. If he'd been at home, chances were he would be crying, and that's not something that Kenneth would be ashamed of. He had emotions, he was fine with showing them, but he didn't want to cry. When Katie had responded to his journal entry, he'd wanted to tell her that he was horrible, that he felt absolutely terrible. Instead he'd just asked if she would meet him. He didn't want to be alone, didn't want Patricia to see him so upset, and Katie was one person he actually wanted to spend time with.

Kenneth sighed, glancing up and around him. Without realizing it, he glared at a passing couple holding hands. Automatically his arms crossed over his chest, and he looked away, glaring at the ground again as if it had done him wrong. He felt bad that Katie would show up and he'd be like this, in a poor mood, but he hoped that she'd be able to bring him out of it.

Katie didn't really know what was going on, but it didn't sound good, and his journal really wasn't happy. She'd managed to write back to him when she was on the ground for a breather. She was distracted the last part of the day trying to figure out what was wrong with him. Her couch pulled her aside at the end asking her if everything was okay. Katie couldn't help but to tell him the truth, that she was worried about a good mate, and confused. Her couch merely laughed and told her to go figure it out and to not get that distracted again.

Katie left the Magpie's pitch after taking a fast shower, she didn't even bother drying her hair. She tossed on a pair of jeans and a Liverpool Football shirt she'd gotten from someone a long time ago. She didn't know a lot about Liverpool, but she liked the red shirt. It didn't take her long to get close to the park. She stopped a little bit away, she was sort of hidden by bushes when she saw him. He didn't look happy at all. If she had to guess depressed or angry were the two emotions that came to mind.

She couldn't stand there and watch though, she had to go and talk to him. That was the plan right? Spending time with him, he didn't want to be alone. Even if it was a little bit strange still to know that he had feelings for her in school, that didn't change the fact that he was one of her mates. She could hear Ali in her head mentally pushing her forward. The thought made her smile slightly as she headed towards him.

She could feel her heart hurting just a little bit when she really got a good look at him. "Hey." She said sliding into sitting next to him. Katie had to fight her first instinct, but it was sort of hard. She didn't say anything else before she just wrapped an arm around him. "I'm sorry." She said softly, she wasn't sure even what she was sorry for, well she figured nothing was really her fault, but she couldn't get the glaring at the ground out of her head. She didn't know what else to say.

Kenneth barely moved his head, just his eyes when Katie sat down next to him. He couldn't quite get the sullen look off his face, or find anything to say. When her arm came around him he instinctively leaned against her with a sigh. It was only when he realized how good she smelled that he straightened, turned a little red, and moved away, so that he was halfway turned toward her. He gave her a very small smile, almost whispering, "Hey." It took him a while to register that she'd apologised and when he did, he frowned at her.

"What do you have to be sorry for?" He asked studying her face. He was struck by how beautiful he found her. It caused him to feel torn inside. He loved Andrea, but she had hurt him, and he cared for Katie a great deal, but what was he to do? He had no idea how she felt about him, and even if she did care for him in return, he still had the issue of Andrea to deal with. She basically had stabbed him in the back, but he still loved her far too much for his own good. It killed him. The entire situation just made him hurt.

He was a little embarrassed when his vision blurred slightly, a result of tears in his eyes. He looked away quickly. Yes, he wasn't ashamed about crying, but really, he didn't want to start bawling in front of Katie. He was extremely grateful that she'd come, and didn't want to repay her by sobbing like a child. Which he was bound to do if the tears really started. What girl would want to spend their time comforting a crying former classmate that they'd never been extremely close with who had a hopeless crush on her but was upset about another girl?
