Chapter 7

Livie

I'd had some awful weekends in my life, but nothing compared to the past couple days. I spent the rest of Friday and all of the weekend trying to come to grips not only with my sister's death, but also the realization of what I'd done. All those times I'd thought I'd been caught up in schoolwork or designs, forgetting to eat or losing time. The times I'd convinced myself that I had a headache from being up too late reading, not from a hangover.

I put my hand on my hip.

Or the thousands of times I'd looked at myself in the mirror or in the shower and hadn't seen the tattoo I'd gotten.

I'd done some research too, trying to figure out exactly what this meant, whether or not knowing about Katka would change things. I hadn't really needed to do any of the reading though. I could feel the difference. Acknowledging what had happened, letting myself remember the truth, it had broken something inside me. Memories were beginning to seep through, things from my childhood I hadn't known I'd done. Feelings that weren't mine. The wall that I'd built between Katka and I was cracking.

I hadn't remembered anything to do with Blayne yet, and a part of me was glad. This was hard enough as it was. I couldn’t deal with everything he'd said or done when he'd thought I was her. Then there was my own jealousy of the relationship I'd thought the two of them had enjoyed.

I finished dressing for work without looking in the mirror. I wasn't ready for that yet. Especially not after what happened the last time I'd seen my reflection.

I shook my head. I'd spent the past two days thinking I was losing my mind. Last night, I made the decision that I wasn't going to let this beat me. I'd survived before and I'd do it again. That meant getting to my feet and not sitting around, letting the thoughts overwhelm me. I was going to work.

I arrived at the studio a little after six and breathed a sigh of relief when I stepped inside. I'd only been here a short time, but this place was mine. If there was one thing that could keep me focused and my mind off of things, it was my work. I took a seat at my desk, pulled out my sketchpad and began to draw, losing myself in the art.

I wasn't sure how long I worked, but at some point, the bell over my front door chimed and I looked up to see who was coming in. I assumed it was someone looking for directions or wondering what type of business this was. A part of me even thought it could be Blayne, though I quickly quashed that hope. I'd meant what I'd told him. He deserved better than me.

I needn't have worried about it because it wasn't Blayne. And it wasn't some stranger, though the tall, distinguished-looking gentleman walking towards me wasn't too far off.
