Cat's POV
Everyone calls me crazy. And sometimes, I believe them. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if I really should be here, and not in some hospital like everyone thinks I belong to. I take medicine. I do my best. But my best just isn't enough for everyone. I never thought of anything about who I like, or what I like, because, I never have anyone like me. Besides that boy Daniel, but he broke up with me after he kissed Tori. Tori. How could she have done that? I forgave her but it still hurt every time I thought about it. And every time I thought about it, I thought how Tori was very pretty and it didn't surprise me all that much when Danny kissed her. Tori is really pretty, and a great singer. She is probably more perfect than I will ever be. Sometimes I think she is more innocent than me.
I lay on my bed, looking at the swirls on my ceiling. Thinking how they can go round and round forever, but we can't. I jumped when my phone started buzzing on my nightstand. I picked it up and looked to see who was calling. The phone buzzed again and the screen said, "TORI V." I sighed and answered it.
"Hello?" I said, feigning innocence. She thought I was always innocent. Why make her think different?
"Hey, Cat! I was just calling to see if you wanted to come with me and my dad to go to the beach and hang out?" she sounded too cheerful. That's Tori for you.
I sighed softly again and thought, I love the beach! And I love Tori, so why not? Then I realized what I just thought and shook my head.
"Sure, Tori! I'd love to go." I giggled at the end.
"Great! We'll be there in 20." She hung up and I put my phone in my pocket and got my swim suit and stuff together.
I was just finishing putting on sun-screen on when I heard knocking on my door.
"Ooh, yay!" I said excitedly and I opened the door to see Tori, smiling and in a pair of white shorts and a black tank top. I saw her bathing suit under the tank and I turned to grab my bag.
"Good, you're ready to go. Let's head out!" she grabbed my hand and pulled me. I almost tripped when she tugged me out the door. I almost forgot to lock the door.
"Tori, wait! I have to lock the door." She let go and I rushed to lock it and then went back, only this time I grabbed her hand and we ran outside to her dad's truck. We both decided to sit in the back. I put my stuff in the back seat and while I was doing that, Mr. Vega smiled and said "Hey, Cat." I waved at him and then closed the door and jumped in the back. We tapped the top of the truck and Tori's dad took off. Tori and I were just enjoying the wind through our hair as we went to the beach.
"Why do cats see color but dogs don't?" I asked suddenly. Then I slapped my hand over my mouth because I just thought out loud. "I'm sorry, Tor! I didn't mean to say that." Tori just looked at me and smiled and giggled.
"It's okay, Cat. And I'm not sure why. Maybe they have color sensors and dogs don't? Not sure. Good question though." She just smiled at me and I smile back and giggle. We were almost to the beach when Tori leaned on my shoulder. I didn't pay any attention to it but it made my pulse race just slightly faster.
~-X-~
We got to the beach and I hopped out and felt warm sand seep between my toes, and I relished the warmth of it for a moment before I grabbed my bag from the back seat. I started to take my tank top off and shorts, and I saw Tori doing the same. She threw her flip flops in the back seat and I got out my sun-screen to put more on my face. Tori looked at me for a second.
"Hey, Cat?" she said looking in her bag for something, her sunglasses more than likely.
"Hmm?" I asked, looking for my own sunglasses.
"Can you retie the sting in the back of my suit?" She said distractedly as she pulled her sunglasses out.
"'Kay 'kay!" I said, cheerful and went over to her and untied the strings around her neck. I noticed that she was really tan and I couldn't help but breathe softly and kiss her lightly on the back of her neck. She tensed slightly but then relaxed. I retied the string and put my hand on her shoulder, just by instinct.
"There you go, Tor." I smiled brightly at her and went to grab a hair tie from my bag and put it around my wrist. I grabbed my towel and put my sunglasses on top of my head and started walking towards the shore where Mr. Vega was setting up an umbrella and his and Tori's towels. He set up three chairs and put the towels on two of them. I got there and put mine on the last chair. I realized the chair was next to Tori's and I smiled brightly. Turning, I saw Tori walking down with water bottles. She smiled at me and I still saw slight shock in her eyes but she acted like nothing happened. She handed me a bottle and her dad one and set her bottle in her seat. Then she turned to me.
"Ready to go swimming?" she questioned, all shock erased from her eyes. I nodded at her and put my sunglasses and my bottle in my seat then we ran to the ocean. The water was cold but we ignored it and we started to swim into the deeper end. We swam side by side for a little bit and then I went under to get my hair wet. When I came up, I saw Tori did the same. Then I remembered that I brought goggles. Me being silly.
"Tori! I forgot my goggles! I'm going to go get them very quick." She just nodded and I swam to the shallows and I ran up to the truck. I quickly grabbed them out of my bag but then stopped when I saw a paper in Tori's bag. I knew I shouldn't look but curiousity got the better of me and I grabbed it and unfolded it. It was a poem.
Cat
Cat, you drive me crazy.
Cat, you keep me sane.
Cat, I love you.
Cat, I wish you no pain.
Cat, I wish you felt the same.
Cat, but that's only a dream.
Cat, it's only a dream.
I looked at the paper for a moment longer before smiling slightly. Tori loves me. I couldn't believe it. She thought I didn't feel the same. But I do. I folded the paper back up and put it right where it was last and I grabbed the two pairs of goggles and ran back to the beach.
A/N: So, what did you think? First chapter. Hoping to add more, as soon as I can. I'm going to make this into a 7 chapter story, at most. If you think there should be more, then I will try to do that. R&R!
