I woke up with a headache, also having to face an upset Emma. She crossed her arms.

"What you said last night wasn't nice, Ida. Now Katie thinks you don't love her." I sighed.

"I'm sorry, Em-"

"No, DON'T say sorry to me, tell that to Katie. She's the one upset right now." My shoulders slumped. How do you tell a child that you love them when you said the opposite, in a way? I don't know....

Katie was sitting on the edge of a branch of the tree in the backyard. I looked up. Her hair was hanging in her face, but I couldn't tell if she was crying.

"Katie? Its me, Ida." Silence.

"Look, I'm sorry about last night... I didn't mean it. I really don't know you because.. I don't . But I would like to get to know you." She looked down.

"Its okay, I didn't like you very much anyway, by how you treated my brother and sister."

I sighed, a little frustrated.

"They're my cousins, Katie-"

"You sure don't treat them like it." I climbed up to her. She winced.

"Katie, you know we're a family. We all love each other, even if-" I looked up and was too late to save Katie from a heavy branch that crushed her.

Updated! I got really lazy, haha. I need to finish my other stories and edit some more. I can't promise I will finish it soon, though. But I CAN promise by the end of the month, like I said. ~Itsnotcatsfault14
