At Long Last Ch. 04 - Revelation

... knows what would have happened if-' my anger was interrupted as Kat wraps her arms around me. I blink unknowingly as she did so. She was so small that she was trying to get her arms around my hips with her face pressed against my abdomen.

I couldn't see her past my chest but I could feel her trying to squeeze me into a gentle hug. I listened closely as I heard her begin to sob. I wasn't sure what to do. My natural instinct was to reach down and gently stroke her hair but I refrained from doing that.

'I'm so sorry...' she cried.

My lip quivers as I couldn't help myself. My hand gently stroked down the back of her soft hair.

'I-' i begin but struggle to find the words. 'You really regret it, huh..?' I ask.

I feel Kat pull away from me so she can look up to meet my gaze. She was a mess. Her tears had smeared her make up across her face and she clearly couldn't stop herself from crying. She nods in response to my question.

I grit my teeth, almost finding myself angry that I wasn't angry enough. After what she had done, who was I to forgive her? At that thought, it clicked.

Old Kat would have never forgiven anyone for anything, she would have condemned them for their actions forever. And I wouldn't let myself turn into that version of Kat. I was better than that, and clearly this wasn't the same Kat that had done what she'd done. My fists gently start to unclench.

'Come inside. It's freezing out there.' I mutter.

Kat wipes her nose as she paused, unsure of how to respond. But she was more aware now and nodded in response. My body had moved to one side so that there was room to let her in. She took that room and moved past me. I closed the door behind her and locked the latch, letting out a sigh. I didn't know if I was doing the right thing, and I didn't know if the right thing was the stupid thing. But either way, I wasn't letting myself be hateful.

I turned to Kat who was stood awkwardly, unsure of what I wanted her to do. I calmly pointed toward the living room. 'You can take a seat on the sofa. Would you like a coffee or anything?' I offered.

'I think it'd be rude to say yes.' Kat said with a head shake. I would have agreed with her and instead ushered her towards the living room while I followed her closely.

She got herself up onto the sofa and sat with her feet dangling over the edge. I take a seat on the single couch across where we both sat there silently for a moment.

'Why was it worth the risk?' I ask, breaking through the silence.

'Risk?' Kat asks.

'What if I was so angry that I wanted to hurt you..?' I question as if it was obvious.

'You're Lila. You always held yourself up as this like... paragon. You never let any of that stuff get the better of you.' She says. I was taken aback by this statement, shocked that such a compliment would ever leave Kat's lips.

'But in reality, I didn't know if ...
