Chapter 11

True to her word, Kat sets the alarm and resets the alarm to wake us both up every hour. By five o'clock in the morning, I'm ready to strangle Kat. I'm also thinking hard about the complete and utter destruction of that alarm clock. I lay there, swearing to never get another concussion, and at the six o'clock ring, I give up and get out of bed to go to the living room, shutting the alarm off for good.

I am in Kat's sweats and t-shirt. Not much she owns would fit me. These sweats are threatening to be floods as it is. It's not my best look.

The previous night, when we agreed to share the bed, I had a few minutes wondering if we would wake up with our arms and legs tangled together, like two lovers. I find myself mildly disappointed it didn't happen. Maybe, if we had a true night's sleep together, where we actually had the chance to roll over and follow instincts, it might have happened.

I shake my head, trying to clear the thought. I must be out of my mind to sit on Kat's couch and fantasize about having her in my arms. She'd kill me if she was privy to my thoughts. If it was up to her, I probably wouldn't be allowed to think things like that, which is a good reason to keep it to myself.

I know I'm just going through something. I know it's related to her having a new girlfriend. Kat always seems like such a constant to me. It disturbs me to have something so steady in my life upset in this way. Maybe, I just need some distance. I know I'm not doing myself any favors by dwelling on something I can't change.

I try to shift my thoughts to Jessica, but I'm not there long before I've circled back around to Kat. This is not good.

I rummage around in Kat's kitchen, putting on some coffee and looking for something edible. I think she survives on coffee and cigarettes. As long as I'm not in her bed, Kat can get some uninterrupted sleep. I spend awhile coming slowly awake. Like Ell, Kat is not a morning person. She doesn't snipe at people like Ell, but her brain starts off slowly, and she doesn't care much for conversation.

I wander around Kat's house like a ghost, quietly, feeling like an intruder. I don't belong here. This is some other woman's domain right now, and no matter how much I dislike it, I'm wasting my time wishing it were different.

Eventually, I throw on my clothes and scribble a note to Kat, leaving our day and night together behind. I know the best thing for me is to get some separation. I might deal with the idea of losing my spot in Kat's life better if it's not right up in my face, if I create new patterns and habits that don't have Kat in the center of them.
