Episode 22: (Un)Welcome.
"Mom! I need to talk to you!" Kendall shouted when he walked into the apartment.
"What now Kendall?" Mrs. Knight sighed. "And you are skating on very thin ice." She noticed Katie hiding behind him. "What is she doing here?"
"Um, Camille kicked her out of the apartment, and I told her that she could stay here," Kendall said pleadingly.
"You what?"
"Please Mom?" Kendall begged. "She's sweet, she can feed a family of five on two hundred dollars for three days, and she's house broken, which beats any cat I could bring home!"
"You two swear you won't do what you did this afternoon EVER again as long as you live here?" Mrs. Knight asked Katie. She nodded, and something in her face made Mrs. Knight remember how she felt when her husband had left her. "As long as there is none of what happened this afternoon I'll turn a blind eye," Mrs. Knight said, and she walked upstairs.
"Did she just say yes?" Kendall asked Katie.
"Not only that I think she agreed to let us share your room," Katie said, shocked.
"That's exactly what I meant!" Mrs. Knight shouted. Katie shuffled into Kendall's room, not waiting for him to follow. She needed a moment to herself to process it all. How something that was supposed to be so perfect went so horribly, irreversibly wrong. She laid her head on Kendall's pillow, inhaling the scent as tears overflowed her eyes. She realized she had just been alienated from the last person on earth whom she was related to. And that reality was almost too much to bear. She lay there sobbing quietly until she felt someone else lay down next to her. Only one person would be brave enough to try and reach her in this state.
"Mom has dinner ready," Kendall whispered to her. "You want some?" Katie just shook her head. As far as she was concerned, she was happy just to die at this point. "Alright, I'll just lay here with you," Kendall said. He wrapped his arms around her, and that was all it took for Katie to feel safe. She rolled over and buried her face in Kendall's shirt, inhaling his scent. It was a cinnamon kind of scent, but with a hint of woodsiness to it. She never wanted him to let her go. As long as she was in Kendall's arms, she was safe and loved.
But finally, Logan came in and said that if they didn't tell him why Camille was sobbing uncontrollably that he was going to try and figure it out for himself and he would go to any means necessary to do so.
"She... She's in the grieving process I guess," Katie whispered. "She's just mourning the loss of who she thought I was, what she had hoped for me." Kendall of course, voiced it louder for Katie. Then he looked at the clock and got up.
"Wait!" Katie cried hoarsely. "Where are you going?"
"I'm just going to get your meds for you," Kendall assured her. He walked back over, kissed her pretty head, and left. When he came back five minutes later, he was carrying the plastic tub that held all of the pill bottles and a glass of soy milk.
"I tried, but I have no clue what you take when," he said, frustrated. Katie pulled out the biggest white bottle and started explaining to Kendall. She did the same with a orange bottle, and a purple bottle, when Logan's curiosity got the better of him.
"What are all those for?" He asked nervously.
"I'm not sick," Katie started. "Well, maybe in the head, but..."
"Should we tell him?" Kendall asked Katie. She whispered something in his ear. He turned to Logan. "They are to help her sleep, and to help battle her chronic depression."
"O-kay," Logan said awkwardly. "I'm gonna... go change for bed and brush my teeth." He grabbed some clean pajamas and scurried out of the room.
"And THAT is why I rarely try and explain the meds," Katie muttered. She stuck all the small ones in her mouth and swallowed them.
"He'll get used to them," Kendall assured her. "I mean... to be honest, I was kind of freaked the first time I saw your pill case."
"Yeah... I guess," Katie sighed. "I'll take that dinner now."

SYNOPSIS: Mrs. Knight hesitantly agrees to let Katie stay with them. She spends the bulk of the day sulking in Kendall's room until Logan demands answers. Then they start to get ready for bed. :D I think we are also back into the longer chapters, so we should be back to one update a day again tomorrow. See y'all then! :)
