Schultz and Kate went to a live-theatre production of Beauty and the Beast...at least I think that's what it was. It was hard to tell, I didn't pay much attention to the show. So Schultz and Kate were there, and I was with them--we seemed to be there on purpose together, which did my heart a gladness--and...and Katie was working there. She was pulling ropes in a kind-of visible room half-covered by a red, velvet curtain...
And Kate and Katie fought.
A noticable-to-passerby fight, and Schultz and Kate exchanged looks....and then I played Switzerland. I played Switzerland and they weren't happy, but they weren't trying to kill each other.
Katie was angry at me for trying in the dream. She said, "Payton, please stop thinking you're helping me. I'm NOT fine, okay! I'm NOT! Just... just... deal with that, and move on with your life! This isn't your affair!"
Kate, though... Kate and I seemed to be very close. I made her a lot better than I made Kate by dancing with her, in round little circles, singing "Human again."
They went their seperate ways after the show,
and I woke up,
in tears.
My heart-half....
I'd only seen her that angry once, when we were in the car to Scrap of Paper.
This time she didn't come out of it, she left me with a frown
in that dream.
It's odd how we want to comfort people.... When I hold Finley, I can literally make his emotions bearable. For Katie, I want to do that, too. For most people. I've got to learn; people don't WANT that.
Still...
