Age Is Nothing But A Number

Chapter Twenty Five

"Why is she still standing here?" I yelled. Tears were now waltzing down my cheeks, I couldn't even stop them.

I tried to move but Kat tightened her hold on me. I shook my head, "let go of me babe please.."

"Would you calm down!" She said, "I told your parents that violence doesn't solve anything, it creates much bigger problems and you go right ahead and do the same thing they have been doing..."

"She had no f*****g right... that is my sister... And she hurt her.. Did you see how broken she was? Did you?" I said the last part looking at my "best friend" and she looked on the ground,

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for any of this to happen.. we weren't expecting you guys until late..."

I looked at her in disbelief, "So what? That made what you did okay because you didn't expect us until late... You know I'm mad that you are f*****g my sister but I'm more mad that you are making her a stupid i***t or your second option... you are f*****g her and Chloe at the same time? Why the f**k do that Maudy? Why f**k up my sister like that?"

She then had the nerve to utter nonsense, "don't fucken act all innocent as if you have never done this... so what? Only you get to f**k people around and the rest doesn't..."

I jumped and tried to pull away, "Maud I'm gonna fucken kill you I swear.. I'm going to kill you if you'll utter rubbish..."

Chloe came to me and helped Kat keep me down...I tried to move again and the both held me tight..

"Let go of me..." I said but they didn't listen... I looked back at this half naked i***t, "you better be thankful to them that I can't get to your stupid ass... or I was going to blow your head off..."

"You should listen to your girlfriend... stop solving this with violence.. I just..."

"Just what Maudy? Thought f*****g my sister and my friend at the same time is cool? That makes you a fuckery.. you can do that with any other fucken person but not my sister.. not Sindy Maud! Over my dead body!" I yelled..

Oh that just took out the b***h in her, coz she said, "Oh... so only you get to do it with whoever you wanna do it with Thandy? You get to f**k Stacy, Emily, Chloe, me and we get to be okay with that... you get to f**k me and then leave then I be okay with that.....?"

Oh fuck....

Oh God she didn't...

I felt the grip on Katherine's side tighten a bit...

Fuck...

I was so mad but I tried to calm myself down, "Maud you doing this because of s**t I did in the past... you are going to punish my sister because I f****d you Maud? The f**k that you put me through.. that YOU wanted.. That you literally forced on me because you had issues with yourself? So she's paying for your f****d up acts? what the f**k is wrong with you....?"

"Just leave me alone... this isn't what's happening here... I just don't want you acting as if you are innocent while you are as f****d up too..."

"I never acted innocent.. You know that.. I never did, but now My sister is in there crying because her ass fell for your stupid ass.. And you'll stand here and tell me about s**t I did in the past... "

My "best friend" rolled her eyes, "well s**t you did in the past hurt people too.. coz they fucken fell for your stupid ass too and are hurting while you move on with your life like nothing happened with you and them.."

I furrowed my brows in confusion but was happy when my girlfriend finally interfered, "That's enough both of you....this isn't about Thandy.. this is about what you are doing now Maudy.. that kid in the bedroom is crying because she walked in on this...." She said the last part pointing at her and Chloe.

Maud looked at the floor, "of course you'll take her side...She has you wrapped around her finger like she had the rest of them.."

I tried to get up roughly but Chloe and and Kat held on tighter. I looked at my girlfriend, "can I please go see my sister before I kill Maudy..."

She looked at me a bit hesitant. She looked at Chloe and the girl let go. I started walking towards the bedroom and Kat walked with me, I sighed, "babe I'm cool....I'm going to check on my sister..."

She held my face..."you know we need to talk right... And please be easy on her..."

I nodded feeling a bit defeated. What could we talk about besides Maudy being an ass, "we will talk.... I just need..."

She pulled my face and kissed me, "I love you okay... I love you.."

I pulled her into a hug and sighed, I really needed that or else I'd have thought she was going to dump me for my past, "I love you more baby..."

She then let go, I turned to look at Chloe and Maudy and my roommate shook her head at my "best friend"

"You are an ass Maudy..." then she went to her room I turned to Kat and she motioned for me to go. I sighed and did.

My bedroom door was closed, I knocked and she didn't respond. I knocked again, "Babe it's me..."

I heard her say "come in..."

I opened the door slowly and got in, she was laying on her side looking away from the door. She was holding my pillow.

I took in one deep breath trying to calm myself down coz to be honest as much as I was angry at Maudy I was also pissed at my sister for dating my friend who's my age. She was fucken 16 for Godsake.

"Sindy...." I said and she just sobbed.

"Sindy..." I stood there waiting for her to say something and the more she kept quiet the more I was getting pissed..

"Sindy sit your ass up and tell me what the f**k happened out there?" I asked in a stern voice and that got her attention.

She got up into a sitting position and looked at me and as soon as her face saw that I wasn't playing games she looked at her hands nervously..

"Talk....!" I said and she kept quiet..

I started pacing back and forth, she was testing me, she really was.. I took in breaths trying by all means to calm myself down. I turned to her, "are you going to talk or should I beat this out of you?"

Hey eyes quickly snapped at me and she whispered a "I'm sorry..."

I walked a bit closer to her, "What was that?"

"I was saying I'm sorry...." She said fidgeting with her fingers..

"Sorry for what?"

She swallowed, "for this thing..."

Oh God this child was driving me insane..

"What?" I whispered that trying by all means to not blow up and heat her stupid ass. She looked at me and with her head she indicated in the other room and then said, "that thing..."

I yelled startling her, "what fucken thing Sindy? I'm in the dark here since you are smart enough to do things behind my back and f**k my 24 year old best friend... I don't fucken know what you are talking about, so start talking young lady..."

She started crying and the door opened revealing my girlfriend, "Baby... come out..."

"What"

She got in, "what part of don't be hard on her didn't you get?"

I rolled my eyes, "how the f**k do I get her to talk then.. how baby?"

Kat held me, "Thandy... calm down please... I need to talk to Sindy..."

I sighed in frustration. I turned to my sister, "we still are going to talk and you are going to explain what the f**k happened..." I looked at my girlfriend and she was giving me the look, I turned back to Sindy, "....or I will fucken beat it out of you. And Kat won't stop me then.. trust me...."

My girlfriend sighed, "just go out.. And stay away from Maudy...."

"Imma take a walk... before I kill her..."

I then went out of my bedroom. Maudy was in the sitting room putting her jacket on. I walked out like I didn't even see her.

I planned on going out for a walk to clear my mind and then come back...but as soon as my eyes landed on a familiar car parking outside my apartment, I knew that it wasn't going to be as I initially planned..

The girl got out of her car and locked it. When she turned around she saw me walking towards the entrance and then she smiled. I rolled my eyes, whatever the f**k that kiss did to her on set, I hated it.. I kinda liked her boiling my blood..

I walked out and she embraced me with a hug. I sighed after pulling away, "is it weird that I miss the evil you... I liked her better than this soppy you..."

The girl laughed, "look I been an ass with that, I'm sorry...."

"Nooo.. please be bad.. hate me I don't care.. just please don't be soppy on me please....." I whined and she shook her head, "heading out?"

I nodded..

"Why? Didn't you come back with your family and girlfriend and everything for the graduations?"

I shrugged, "they are all here.."

"And you are running away from them? How nice..."

I shoved her playfully, "what's with the 3rd degree? I didn't dump them I'm just walking... by the way what are you doing here?"

She opened the door slowly and motioned for me to get in, "let me turn your lonely boring walk to an amazing drive with me..."

I laughed and got in anyways because I knew she wasn't going to take a no for an answer.. She got in too and started driving...

My phone beeped..

ROOMIE: I HOPE YOU ARE NOT f*****g HOFMAYER...

ME: WHAT THE FUCK.. EWWW NO, IM f*****g KATHERINE IN CASE YOU FORGOT...

ROOMIE: GOOD BECAUSE I JUST SAW HER FACE WHEN YOU HUGGED SUSAN AND THEN GOT INSIDE HER CAR... DON'T TAKE LONG..

ME: OKAY.. ARE YOU OKAY?

ROOMIE: MAUDY AND I FUCKED... I FEEL LIKE AN ASS..

ME: YOU DIDN'T KNOW.. SHE IS AN ASS..

ROOMIE: TOMORROW IT'S GRADUATIONS AND SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE MAD AT EVERYONE..

ME: I HAVE THE BEST LIFE.. LEMME GO, SUSAN WILL KILL ME IF I SMILE ON MY PHONE ONE MORE TIME..

ROOMIE: OKAY.. REMEMBER KATHERINE LOVES YOU.

ME: AND I LOVE HER MORE...

Right After sending that Susan sighed, "well I could have let you walk if you'll be on your phone..."

"Sorry, my roomie was asking who's car I just got in.. She still needs me.. sooo... what the f**k are you doing here again?"

She laughed, "I came to see you.. And welcome you back.. this was the longest two weeks of my life... you were deeply missed..."

"Aww I missed the crew too..."

She scoffed, "the crew didn't miss you, they were busy doing their job, it's like you didn't exist... but I missed you soo yeah..."

I looked at her weirdly, "you are being weird Susan and my girlfriend is here..."

She laughed, "forget about her for a while.. let me take you some place..."

I didn't argue much. So she took me to this other organization or was it a shelter. When we showed up some two grown up kids came running and they gave us hugs...

"Who's she?" The girl one asked and a guy who seemed fifteen or so laughed, "Your girlfriend?"

Susan laughed too, "yeah she's my girlfriend.. so shut up...."

They both left and the girl kept on screaming excitedly that Susan came with a girlfriend..

I looked at the girl, "Susan why did you say I'm your girlfriend and what is this place..."

She took my hand and pulled me inside one of the places, which happened to be a reception area.. I looked inside and there was "WELCOME TO SUZZIE HOME" on the reception desk and back back there on the wall.

"Suzzie home?" I asked looking at the girl and she smiled,

"This is more of a shelter for the homeless LGBTI people... if they are chased away from home or they are scared to come out, they are always welcome here... we supply them with food, a place to stay and help them study... We strickly take those who are less than 18 though, once you hit 19 you need to leave and fend for yourself."

I looked at her with my jaw on the floor, she was doing all this? She had a heart? Oh God I was going to lose my mind.. this wasn't the Susan I knew and I work with...

She held my mouth and closed it, "there might not be any flies around here but you are breathing in germs and I still have to kiss you.. so please don't leave your mouth open for that long..."

I stood there in shock. She laughed, "just say it.. I'm amazing.. right.... let me show you around..."

And she did. She took me all over the place and it was huge. The kids here were between 13 and 18, and they were just great. A few noticed me from Glee and others just called me Susan's girlfriend.

After seeing it we went back to the car and I for the first time said, "do you need help.. I'd like to be a part of it.."

She smiled, "I'd really love your help since I'm running the place alone.. it's still new.. so your gay ass will be like a partner of mine... And we will help these kids and have babies together and build a family..."

"What do you need? And don't get ahead of yourself." I said.

"You..." She said holding my hand and looking at me in a way that made me a bit uncomfortable. I shook my head and pulled my hand away, "what do you need me to help with?"

She smiled, "funds... for food and books....if it will not be a big deal or......"

"Nooo...." I cut her off, "that is totally fine... I'm here...i don't mind."

She took my hand and kissed it, "thank you..."

I pulled it away from her, "and I still have a girlfriend Susan...."

We got inside the car and drove home. We talked about the place and what inspired her to open the shelter and she said seeing the LGBTI people homeless because they were chased away by people who couldn't accept them for who they are killed her.. so she needed to held and this was a way..

I have to admit even if it was to myself... Sudan Hofmayer was really a great person......sometimes.

When we arrived back in my apartment and she got out to open the door for me. I laughed, "you have to stop really..."

She pulled me into a hug, "I'm glad I took you there and lightened up your assy mood.."

I smiled, "thanks... a lot for today..."

She laughed, "It's nothing... you were looking horrible... what happened?"

"Wanna come in and meet the family?" I asked and she followed, "a lot happened today and thinking about it just pisses me off... but it will be alright.. thank you for making me a part of that.. means a lot..."

She nodded, "no problem...."

I opened the door and everyone was sitting there quietly eating.. Kat gave me a look I couldn't read. I looked at my watch and realized I been gone for three hours...

'f**k' I cursed in my head..

Chloe spoke, "Ohh hey ass... you are back...."

I nodded, "yea..." then I looked at Susan, "umm Susan this is my little sister Sindy...."

And oh God Sindy was start struck, "Oh my God Bridgette... oh God it's so great to finally meet you.. I mean..."

She was so excited and rambling.. Susan just motioned for her to get up and she gave her a hug. And then I was asked to take a picture of them.

I followed in order, "you know my roommate...."

And then I looked at Maudy and took in one deep breath, "this... is my...ummm.... childhood friend, Maudy...."

Susan winked at her.

I turned to my girlfriend and a smile automatically came to my face.. I went by her side and whispered a "hey gorgeous.." first and then turned to Susan.... "this is the woman who stole my heart..."

Susan extended her hand for a shake, "Dr Katherine Omarley... it is an honor to be in your presence... your work speaks volumes... And your girlfriend is just a stupid ass.. why are you with her again?"

I shoved Susan playfully, "Don't... I'll kick your ass.." and she laughed..

"Baby I work with this idiot... She was bullying me a few days before I went home...now she is all sweet I don't know what changed..."

Kat smiled, "I know exactly what changed..."

I looked at her confused and she kissed me. I laughed, "I love you.. And I'm starving..."

Kat stood up and I turned to Susan, the girl lifted her hands up, "I'm leaving... I just wanted to meet the family.. can't wait to meet your parents tomorrow..."

"Thank you for today... And I seriously want in on that.. so count me in..."

She nodded and left.

I followed my girlfriend to the kitchen. Found her dishing up. I went to her from behind and hugged her..

"Hey..." She whispered and I kissed her neck, "missed me?"

She shook her head, "What? Nooo."

I laughed and turned her over, she put my plate on top of the table as I pulled her closer to me, "of course you did..."

She just looked at me. I leaned in and kissed her nose, "Okay maybe you didn't..."

She kept quiet.. I kissed her forehead, "even a tiny bit?"

Still kept quiet.... I kissed her cheek, "come on baby... didn't you?"

She kept quiet and I tickled her making her jump and turn pink... "Baby stop... okay I did a lot.. happy now?"

I held her cheeks and pulled her face on mine, immediately connecting out lips into one deep kiss. She responded with joy and that yearning..

Fuck...

I don't think I'll ever get tired of feeling like this... I don't think I'll ever get tired of doing this with her.. I loved her and I wanted her forever..

Woaaah.. that thought scared the living out of me and I quickly pulled away from the kiss.. She looked at me confused, "are you okay?"

I nodded, a bit scared like she might have heard my thoughts, "I'm okay baby..."

"Are you sure baby...?"

I kissed her lips before wiping her nose, "I'm sure... let me call my parents... I'm sure they are awake from resting now.. if they even did.."

She kissed my nose and I smiled.. I started to walk away but turned and called for her, "Katherine...."

"Yeaah?"

"I love you. So... so much.."

She sighed what seemed to be of relief, "I love you more baby... I love you more..."

I smiled and walked away and Chloe scoffed at me as I went past her to my bedroom...

Maybe.. just maybe Kat also loved me enough to spend the rest of her life with me..
