The Fuentes' Best Friend

Kat's Story

"Katty, Kat's twin, died when they were 21. It use to be the four of us," Mike smiles, thinking of back, "at first we couldn't tell them apart, they use to trick us over and over again, Katty-"

"It's short for Katharine, without pronouncing the 'th' though, Kat's name is Kathaleen, same thing with the 'th', they would get so mad, because when they have their accents, they naturally don't pronounce it." Vic smiles, "we were in the dog houses so many times when our friendships began." Mike smiles at that.

"Anyways, Katty finally convinced Kat to show us her tattoo, " Mike points to the inside of his arm. "It’s right there, she has a quote from Harry Potter, 'The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.' She got it for her sixteenth birthday" Mike smiles.

Vic laughs, "you should have seen how excited she was when she showed us and Mike knew exactly what it was, they both went on and on about it, me and Katty looked at them like they were crazy." He shakes his head alittle.

"Just like you look at me with Star Wars" Tony said smiling as he looks at the floor.

"You are not like them though, it seriously got out of hand, when the last Harry Potter came out, they seriously spent the WHOLE day watched every single one of them, in order, one after the other. Me and Katty were amazed that they could do that." Vic shakes his head again, smiling, Mike laughs as Tony's face looked shocked.

"Wow, why can't I have a friend like that for Star Wars?" Tony asks smiling.
Jaime laughs, "Of course he will say that." The others laugh. Kat wakes up, but she doesn't let the guys know.

"Vic, you forgot she likes Star Wars too," Mike says, Tony's eyes lite up. "Anyways, back to the story. We went through a lot with them girls, their older sister died when they were 18-" Kat bites her lip listening.

"They parents when they were 10, they said it was a miracle that they didn't get separated, but a family let all three of them come and stay. We met them one day when their foster brother got into trouble for smoking pot with Mike. Their parents made a deal and let their brother go over to our house only if I was there with them, or the twins were able to go." Vic smiles, "the first time we seen them, we both though they were beautiful, they still had their identical looks, they changed a few years after meeting us." Kat wipes her eyes, remembering everything. She couldn't help but feel her heart flip flop from hearing Vic say she was beautiful, even if it was when they were 15.

"Kathy's death hit Kat the hardest, I think it was because she looked up to her the most. It wasn't until a year later that we found discovered that Kat had started cutting her wrists, she hid it incredibly well." Mike said, finishing his thought. Vic looks towards the back where Kat is listening.

"There were nights I stayed up all night with Kat, just because she couldn't sleep, I ended up passing out on her lap, but she didn't do anything with any of us around." Vic said, remembering those nights. "Then, when Katty died…" His voice trailed off. Jaime and Tony looked down.

Mike sighed, looking down, "I think if it wasn't for us, she wouldn't be here… It was bad, she broke down at dinner one night, our mom had her over, because her family left for the weekend. She couldn't stand it anymore, I guess. My mom went to get more drinks for everyone, and Kat started staring at her plate. Vic put his hand on hers and then she started crying."

"She covered her face and kept saying 'Katty I'm so sorry', because she was crying. Our mom came in and was wondering what happened. Our dad couldn't say anything, me and Mike took her to our room, and we held her." Vic said, staring at the ground. Kat takes a deep breath, quietly wiping her eyes again, she could hear the sadness in both of their voices.

"That's when we noticed fresh cuts on her wrist. We confronted her about it and she said she couldn’t help it, her foster family didn't back her up or help her through this tragedy. We then told her about what our mom said." Mike said, putting his empty bottle on the table.

"What did she say?" Tony and Jaime said at the same time. Kat smiled at how intrigued they were with her sad story. Vic and Mike smiled alittle.

"She said that Kat was welcomed anytime, because she knew how close we all were and how Katty's death affected us. We stayed strong for Kat, because we knew she wouldn’t make it without us." Mike said. "That's all of it.. Even today I know she's grateful for what we did." Vic nodded. Jaime and Tony look down.

"Such a sad story, and she doesn't even show it, even now.." Tony says. Kat silently slips out of the bunk.

"She is a very strong girl, but everyone needs to breakdown every now and then." Jaime says, nodding to himself.

"That's when they are always telling me, but I never listen." Kat says walking out of the back. The guys looked up, shocked. She goes and sits on Vic's lap, he wraps her up into a hug. "That was an amazing show you guys did, they are always amazing." She smiles, they all looked down, Vic putting his head on her shoulder. "I'm glad you told them boys, I am.." She leaned her head against Vic's head.

"How long did you listen.." Mike asked looking at her.

"When you started telling them about Katty." She says smiling. Vic held her close. "I know I scared you Vic, I’m sorry, I.. Just couldn't hold it in anymore."

"I know, I'm just glad your ok.." Vic said, kissing her shoulder.

"Lets go to sleep boys, you all look tired" Kat said, they all nodded, getting up. Vic stayed with her until they all got into their beds. She turns around, straddling him, he looks up at her. She kisses him lightly, "cuddle with me tonight?" He nods silently, he lifts her up walking into the back. The others look at him as he sets Kat down.

"Goodnight boys" Kat says as she crawls into Vic's bunk with him.

"Goodnight Kat." The three boys said.

Vic holds Kat tightly as she starts to sing softly, all the boys listen to her lullaby, as they all drift off to sleep.
