“Cat”. Sam had heard enough she had to speak what was on her mind but she smiled at the rambling state Cat had become. Her thoughts turning to their first date- one which could be described as one of the worst. But she could see past that, it was a woman so nervous her mouth just ran away with her.

“You don’t have to do this I get it I will never get you back”.

“Cat, just breathe for a minute. You didn’t even give me chance to respond before jumping the gun.”

Cat smiled apologetically at Sam knowing she hadn’t even give her chance to explain or talk even. Sam continued, “I just want to know something is this thing between you and Frankie really over? Or is it because I’m gone you miss the idea of you and me?”. Cat could see the sadness in Sam’s eyes as they dropped once again to the mug in her hands. Taking a second to truly think about replying she willed herself to say the right words. It was important to not fuck this up.

“Sam… Look at me.” Lifting her head to do as the brunette asked she shifted her body so they now faced one another more.

“Frankie and I are over. There will never be a me and Frankie. I don’t miss you just because you’re gone I miss you because you’re no longer with me. I love you and if there’s anyway this can work or if you decide you can’t do this. I don’t think I will ever stop loving you. But I will respect your decision if you do decide this isn’t what you want. If I’m not what you want”. Cat felt the tears sting her eyes. This was harder than she imagined, but in her heart she knew Sam had to decide and she could only hope for a second chance.

“Cat… Are you sure there’s nothing between you and Frankie. I mean why did it happen after everything we had you still went there with her. It pains me worse because I was ok with you both being friends but look exactly what that’s done”. Sam was unsure of Cat’s feelings towards the scraggy blonde but she also knew she couldn’t pretend what they had done. Despite everything she had to offer. It made her sick to the pit of her stomach to know someone she truly loved could break her exterior and hurt her worst of all.
