Kate's pov
-
"I did something bad and I don't know what's going to happen now" I said as I pushed open the door of the diner
"Alright Jamie get the shovel, I'll get the bleach and a tarp so we can bury the body-"
"What? What are you talking about?" I asked the boy
"You didn't kill anyone?" Ethan asked
"Wha- NO. I JUST- I lied about something and now it's coming to haunt me" I groaned
"oh come on, I'm sure what you did isn't as bad as when my dad got caught cheating on his third wife with his fourth wife and the dog-"
"You should really see a therapist" Jamie stated as her eyes flickered over the boy's body
"Yeah... Yeah I should" he pouted
"What happened Kate?" Jamie asked as she slipped into the booth
Ah yes, what happened. I'm sure you must be all so curious to know what bad crimes I have committed
"Remember when Autumn's parents were over?"
"Uh huh" Ethan said as he also slipped into the booth
"And they ended on bad terms when they left Autumn?"
"Bunch of assholes" Jamie groaned
"And we all know Autumn's birthday is coming up?"
"Yep, I've been waiting for it" Ethan grinned
"I... I wanted to do something special but I think I'm about to make it all worse"
"Oh no, Kate what did you do" Jamie mumbled
"Well... Ya see.... I.... "
"She called Autumn's parents. I knew it. Just look at those guilty eyes" Ethan glared
"Wait what!"
"I just wanted to talk to them!"
"Then call their phones!"
"They don't even answer the phone when their own daughter is calling, you really think they're gonna answer me!?"
"She got a point"
"So what exactly happened?" She asked
"I got a hold of their manager from Lisa and he gave them a message"
"What message?"
"That.. I... Wanted.. To.. Sign a contract with their company" I said before squinting my eyes shut, knowing I was going to be yelled at
"KATE WILSON"
"YOU DID WHAT"
"Shhh, keep your voice down before the human Karen hears you!" I hissed
"Isn't she human?"
"Karens are a different breed, they ain't human" Ethan stated
"Oh... Continue" Jamie motioned
"They don't know it's me, they just know that they're meeting here for a business meeting"
"So you're luring Autumn's parents here to do what?"
"Snap some sense into th-"
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU"
"She dead. Yeah, she dead. She really said I'm alive but I'm dead"
