Chapter twenty four

The next morning, Brian was sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee when Kate came out. She could tell by the look on his face that something was wrong. Without a word, she poured a cup of coffee and sat down across from him. She took a sip then looked at him. His eyes were bloodshot, like he hadn’t slept all night. Finally after almost 15 minutes of silence, Brian cleared his throat.

“I think you should move back to New York.” He said quietly. Kate nearly choked on her coffee.

“W-what?” She stammered. Brian sighed and looked down into his empty cup.

“I think it would be a good idea if you moved back to New York.” Kate shook her head to fight the tears away.

“But why? Did I do something wrong?” She asked. Brian gripped the cup and closed his eyes.

“No Kate you didn’t. It’s just I’m not used to living with someone.” He said. Kate didn’t believe him. She looked him in the eye and shook her head.

“Everything seemed fine. We were getting along fine Brian. I don’t understand.” She said.

Brian pounded his fists on the table hard and stood up. He was running out of things to tell her. He sighed and turned around fast.

“I’m seeing someone Kate!” He shouted. Kate felt like someone had punched her in the face. She blinked and just looked at him.

“You, you are?” She asked. He nodded and gripped the kitchen counter.

“Yes. Since we got back. I lied to you that night at the club I wanted to make her jealous and it worked.” He said. Kate stood up slowly and looked at him.

“I don’t believe you.” She said quietly. He swallowed hard and faced her. He had to seal the deal.

“Kate I love her.” He said. That was it. Kate had heard enough. She sighed and let a tear fall.

“Oh, I see. I guess I’ll leave as soon as I can.” She said as she went to her room.

Brian started to follow her, but she slammed the door in his face. He pressed his ear against it and heard her crying. His heart broke into pieces. Anger boiled inside him and he left the house. He made it to the porch before his anger spilled over. He started punching the cement posts in front of the house. He didn’t stop until he saw blood stains on them. He brought his hands to his face and then Brian Haner hasn’t done in a long time. He cried.

When Kate had calmed down enough, she picked up her phone and called Val.

“Hello?” She said.

“Val, are you busy?” She asked.

“No Kate, what’s wrong.” Kate took a deep breath.

“Brian told me to move out.” She said. Val gasped.

“Oh my God. Hang on I’ll pick you up.” She said.

They hung up and Kate went into her bathroom to wipe her face. Brian had stopped crying and got on his motorcycle and sped off. When Kate heard him leave, she felt herself tear up again, but forced herself not to cry. A few minutes later Val pulled into the driveway and beeped the horn. Kate walked out and got in her car.

“Is he home?” She asked angrily. Kate shook her head and Val rolled her eyes.

“He’s lucky.” Kate smiled weakly, then Val took off.

Val drove Kate to she and Matt’s house. Kate had never been there before. It was a house that was very similar to Brian’s. They pulled in and Val dragged Kate into their living room. Matt was sitting on the couch when they got there.
