Who cares, let's watch Kat

Kat's POV

Tessa ran out of the room before I could say another thing. She was probably mad at me. That was my fault. I understood why she'd want me to remove that belief. But loving Tessa wasn't honestly that scary. In some ways it made my life more simple. Did I even want to escape anymore? I didn't really know. But I would support Tessa. Even if that meant we wouldn't be together. It wouldn't be love otherwise.

Thinking about that word. Love. I blushed a bit. I had been debating if it was love or not but now I knew. I was in love with Tessa. Sure it was manipulated by the book but there was something still special about it. Like, this is what love feels like. I understood that. I knew what love felt like. Even if it didn't last, I was happy knowing that.

I decided to go back to Clara's place. I knew Tessa had to go there. I was curious about what was going on. I would wait for her for the moment.

As I walked in, Clara was near the stove cooking. I felt a sudden urge to help. I came over to Clara. "Let me cook," I said.

"But I been trying to-"

I just gave her a headpat. I knew what she was going to say. She was trying to support us since we were in the game but I knew she loved playing with toys in the evening. Not only that she had plenty of food in the fridge already. I wanted to show that I was happy with her.

"If you do that.... It's hard to resist," she said nuzzling into my hand.

"I know. That's the point," I said. "Go play and let me finish dinner."

She ran off and began playing with toys. I smiled seeing it. Then I looked at the thing she was cooking. Meatloaf it seemed. I suddenly felt nervous. I didn't know how to make this!

I couldn't tell Clara that. Not after I just acted all tough. I grabbed my earbuds and turned on YouTube. Time to learn how to cook a meatloaf.

A few hours later and... Well. I had cooked something. As for the taste. I wasn't sure but it looked right at least! Looking at the clock I noticed it was just about 9pm.

Tessa came in. She was sweating and slumped over.

"What happened?' I asked. She just fell onto the floor. She wasn't answering

I ran over to her. She was breathing fine but not responding otherwise. She was so hot. I hefted her up and walked her over to the couch. I than fetched some water and ice to try and help cool her down.

After about 15 min. She finally began to speak up. "Mother fucker," she whimpered.

"What happened?" I asked.

"He forced me to do 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and run about 6 and half miles," she said. "My everything hurts."

I tried to rub her shoulders.

"Get off. I don't want any lesbian crap okay?"

I looked down. A pinge of pain hit my heart. "I cooked dinner."

"I'm not hungry," she said.

I tried to smile. I needed to support her. She went to the spare bedroom to rest. I called Clara over and we ate dinner together. It wasn't half bad. Too bad Tessa didn't try it but always another time.
