Enemies - Katie McCabe

18- Movie night

Ellies pov:
I put my guitar and notebook on the passenger seat of my car and closed the door. "I think I'm going to sleep over at Beth's tonight ok? see you tomorrow!" I said hugging millie. "I'll see you later" Millie said waving as I got in the car.

When I got to Beth's there were only 3 cars outside. I parked on the opposite side of the road and walked around to the passenger seat to get my guitar out. I heard someone run and before I could turn they jumped on my back causing us both to fall to the floor. "Sorry" Alessia said laughing. "Its fine" I said giggling pulling her back up off the floor.

"Are you two coming in?" Beth shouted from the doorway. "Yes beth keep your hair on!" I shouted back smiling. She laughed and went back inside. Alessia grabbed my notebook and I got my guitar locking my car after.

"Finally!" Viv said as I walked into the lounge. "Sorry the traffic was bad" I said smiling apologetically. I sat on the floor and got my guitar out. "Can we hear one of your songs?" Steph asked excitedly. I nodded as alessia handed me my notebook. There was only 6 girls here. Steph, Alessia, Beth, Viv, Leah and Kyra. I flicked through my notebook through the songs and roughly skimmed my eyes over the words and the notes of one of my newer songs.

Everyone went quiet as I coughed and began to play.

Katie's pov:
I finished making myself a cup of tea and walked back towards the lounge. Someone had arrived and I was about to ask them if they wanted anything to drink when I walked around the corner and heard someone singing. I peaked into the front room and Ellie was sitting with her guitar.

When you are young they assume you know nothing...

But I knew you,

Dancing in your Levi's, drunk under a street light

I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt baby kiss it better

I paused. She had a lovely singing voice. I looked at her face my eyes tracing over her jawline and looking at her bright eyes with the sun reflecting into them. God I missed her.

To kissing in cars, in downtown bars was all I needed.

you drew stars around my scars but now I'm bleeding.

Who was this about? Wait, it couldn't be about me surely? I put my drink down on the stairs. And listened to her singing once again.

I knew you, tried to change the ending, Peter losing Wendy

I knew you, leaving like a father, running like water

And when you are young they assume you know nothing.

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss.

I knew you'd haunt all of my what ifs?

This song was about me. The time me and Ellie were dancing in the street. When I traced over her scars all the time. I had really screwed up with her. I needed to fix this. I'm not sure I can live without her.

Ellies pov:
I stopped singing. "That's it. I haven't thought of an ending yet." I said smiling putting my guitar into its bag. "What was it called?" Kyra asked eagerly. "Umm I haven't thought of a name yet." I said looking down at the floor and playing with my hands. Out of the corner of my eye I saw someones blue eyes watching me from the doorway. It was Katie. She had tears threatening to spill out and her hand was shaking.

Looking around the room everyone else had started talking to eachother so I slipped out without them noticing. "You ok?" I asked her quietly. No reply. She continued to stare at the wall infront of her. I put my hand on her arm "Katie?" I asked. She seemed to snap put of whatever daze she was in and looked at me. "I'm sorry Ellie" She whispered. Tears were now falling down her cheeks and her bottom lip began to tremble.
