Blu

When I awoke the next morning, a note from my father sat on my nightstand.

I'm sorry about last night- Dad

At least he apologized, I thought to myself. I jumped off my mattress excited to see Matthew again today. I pulled out my favorite cardigan, tank top and a pair of shorts. I put my hair into a French braid as my mom entered my room. She read the card shaking her head. She knows he's ridiculous and treats me like I'm six, but I always feel she's afraid of him so she doesn't speak up for herself or me.

"Honey, your father needs you home by five o'clock today. We are having dinner with our neighbors from the beach house in Cabo. It's your Katie attire tonight." My mom said as I looked at the clock that read two o'clock. I groaned and glared at her as I left my room. I walked outside and got in my car. I slammed my head on the steering wheel, breathing slowly trying to calm the rage forming in my chest.

Seriously, my parents couldn't be anymore full of themselves. I'm the kid here, no kid I know goes to as many dinner parties as I do. I go to so many people don't even see me slip a glass of champagne off the tray. Sad right, I know.

My parents need to get a grip. This is the last time I'm doing this and I'm telling them tonight. I curved the corner hard to see a sight of Matthew shirtless from afar through my windshield. I would've most definitely crashed had there been anyone in front of me. His toned skin mixed with his biceps could kill a girl with one look. He didn't even look my way when I got out the car.

"How's your car doing?" He said as I put my hands on my hips sassily. "What about me?" I said in my best "I'm perfect and better than everyone" voice.

"Oh, you?" He said with a chuckle at the end. "You look nice today." I said to him as he put his tools away. "I bet I do." He said making me laugh.

"I'm fine, as a matter of fact if that matters at all." I said as I plopped down on the hood of his car in the garage not thrilled with how he was ignoring me. The sun was beaming and I was burning up. He grabbed his soap bucket and the hose turning toward me. I lifted my hands up shaking them frantically as he sprayed the hose and water flew everywhere.

I squealed as he chased me around the car and continued hitting me with the freezing water. I collapsed on the ground and cried out in agony. He immediately stopped and fell by my side cupping my face in his hands.

"I'm sorry Blu! Did I hurt you?" He said as he dropped the hose and I softly whimpered. I reached gently behind his back and grabbed the handle.

"Blu, are you okay?" He said as I tried to smile. "No I'm all wet. I'd feel better if you'd give me a kiss." I said with a smirk. He leaned forward as I pulled the hose and let the water erupt in his face a little. I giggled hysterically as I ran with the hose in my hand.

"Priceless, just priceless." I said as I wiped my eyes from laughing so hard. "I didn't know you were such a good actor." He said as he batted his eyes with out even noticing which made my body do things I didn't know it could do.

He started walking towards me. He grabbed the hose out of my hand and flung it across the dirt pathway. He grabbed my waist with eagerness as my breath hitched in my throat. He lightly spoke into my soul as he whispered something. My eyes were closed and I could feel myself loosing a grip on reality.

"Do that again and you'll suffer the consequences." He said as he pulled away and I frowned at him. This boy will surely be the death of me. I tried to control myself, but I couldn't resist it. I followed slowly after him and turned him around as I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist he caught me with a smirk. He slowly rested me on the hood of his car.

"I guess I'm a pretty smooth talker too." He said as I kissed him eagerly. I placed my hands in his hair as he slightly moved his hands to my rear end. I kissed his neck roughly as he moaned making me. He smirked against my lips and put me down.

"It was just getting good." I said as I tossed my hair back in it's position and watched him smirk and catch his breath all at once. "I know and that's why we stopped. You know I don't date and you don't seem like a "fuck and leave" type of girl." He said as I hit his back slightly. I grinded into him and laughed at his reaction.

"I bet your wishing you hadn't stopped now Summers." I said with a chuckle as he attacked me with a fiery kiss. I swear to god I felt fireworks. I was drowning in his embrace as I just happened to open my eyes and look at the clock.

5:30. Oh shit.

I pulled away softly as he groaned making me smile. "Sorry Matthew I have to go, I'm already late!" I said as I watched him frown he quickly replaced it with a cold stare. "I'll text you later?" I said rather asking than telling. He didn't respond as I turned the key in my ignition to head toward my house.

I don't even care if my dad's mad. He may have apologized, but he hurt my feelings and I know he'll be furious to see me show up late. I swerved up on our driveway as Brad held the door open for me.

"Hey, how was vacation?" I said as he smiled kindly at me. "Great, I enjoyed seeing my family and they loved getting the autographed pictures!" He said as I smiled back. He's one of my many favorites of people that work for my dad. He's always so sweet to my whole family. I feel bad that my dad works him like crazy. He begged for weeks to get off for that vacation with his family.

I dashed like wind up to my room to find my dress, shoes and wig lying on my bed ready to be assembled on my body. I wanted to shed a tear, but reminded myself it's the last night of this little show. I quickly slipped it on as my mom burst through my door.

"Hurry, you're late and your guest are waiting!" I scoffed as I brushed up against her shoulder roughly. She and I both know they're my fathers guest, I'm just his medal he'll pull out and brag about. I slowly started my grand entrance.

"Ah there she is, the star of the night!" My father said as I softly adjusted my wig. I cleared my throat and started speaking like Katie would.

"Thanks for joining me and my family tonight!" I said as I sat down. "Katie, tell them of your upcoming show." My father said as I smiled kindly. "I've decided to cancel it." I said and my parents both choked on their drinks a little which made me chuckle softly as I lifted a piece of salad to my lips.

"We were looking forward to attending your show!" The man said as I smiled kindly and I stood up. "I could give you a private show right now." I said as they shook there heads vigourously.

I went and stood in the middle of the floor as my parents glanced at each other. I started singing slowly. The notes flowed through my voice like flowers in the wind. There face expressions went from happy to them in tears. By the end they were clapping, smiling and crying.

"Katie, that was wonderful!" They said as I sat back down. "Thank you. I'm pretty tired though, so I think I'm going to head upstairs. It was really nice seeing you all again." I said as they started gathering their belongings and leaving. As soon as they shut the door my parents stormed towards me.

"Blu, what the hell was that, you can't just cancel a show with no notice or an excuse! Or running it by us for that matter." They said in unison as I groaned. "You guys just don't get it do you. Katie Sparks isn't me. I'm Sky-Blu not whoever you've made up in your head. I want to live my life." I said as I ripped off the wig. "Baby, you are Katie Sparks though." My mom said as I pushed her away from me.

"No Mom, Katie Sparks is who you guys made up for me. Why can't I perform as Sky-Blu!" I said as my dad sighed.

"Sweetheart, that will attract attention to you, you're already dating that little runt and if you came out as Sky-Blu you'd be a joke with him on your arm. I'm sure he put you up to this." He said and I scoffed. I could feel the tears burning to erupt out of my eyes.

"Is that really what you think of him, he's no runt and we aren't even dating. He actually cares about me and my dreams to become what I want. Katie Sparks is just a hobby for me and you guys have made it your entire life. Don't forget I pay for this house with my career. You'd be the runt without me!" I spat at his face as I slammed my hand on the counter.

"Sky, you should stop before you get ahead of yourself. We care about you. That's why we keep Katie Sparks as she is and Sky-Blu as who you are." She said as she tried to reach for my hand. I pulled away as I ran upstairs to my room. I ripped off the dress as tears streamed my face. I changed into my shorts with the matching shirt and drove to Matthew's. The only place that seemed safe.

He was outside in some sweatpants and a white t-shirt. I jumped out the car and ran to him. He held me close as the tears flowed like rivers from my eyes. He rubbed my back lightly and calmed me down as we went inside his cabin.

   Matthew

I stood outside staring up at the sky, thinking. I saw two bright headlights belonging to the girl who was slowly creeping her way into my heart surprisingly. She was crying as she walked closer to me.

I opened my arms and she flung her small frame into them. Damn, Matthew. No, this is what boyfriends fucking do. Let her go.

I tried, but somehow I just couldn't let go. Seeing her cry did something to me. I couldn't just let her leave.

Yes, you can. My subconscious was working away.

Maybe I didn't want too, I told myself as I lead her inside.

****
