Love, Hate, Magic, and the Past

*Kate's POV*
I opened my eyes slowly. CC smiled at me and said "Good morning, Kate." "Morning, CC. What happened last night?"
"You had another dream. Do you remember what it was about?"
I nodded. "It was the ending of something....Kira had....cut herself and Ash and I were there. When I said she died he lost it. He and I cried, his head was on my shoulder. Then you came and carried me to the bed and told me it was just a dream and I woke up."
He looked at me with sad eyes.
"Why does this happen to me!?" I felt overwhelmed with emotion. CC wrapped his arms around me and I cried silently into his chest.
"It's ok, Kate. I'm going to help you through this. I will be right here. I won't leave you." He said.
"You know that you are the only one who knows about...." I looked down at my wrist. "And....I want to tell the others but I don't know how..."
"Why don't you just explain your story to them. I'm sure they won't judge you."
"Yeah but when? I've been with you guys for almost 4 months...I feel like I am hiding from them...and I'm pretty sure that Andy knows something is wrong."
"It's ok. Even if he does think something is wrong....it's going to be ok. Why don't you tell them tonight."
"Alright...." I looked up at him and he smiled. I smiled back. CC pulled me into a passionate kiss. I kissed back. I heard the door open and we pulled apart. Ash stood in the doorway, smirk on his face. I felt my cheeks heat up a little bit.
"Having some fun you two?" Ash said, leaning against the doorframe. CC's face went red, and I'm sure mine did too. His smirk grew wider and CC and I stood up and walked out, and I ruffled Ashley's hair on the way out. He grabbed my wrist and looked at it. He looked up at me. CC was already at the kitchen so Ash shut the door and dragged me to the bed. "Why did you do this, Kate." "I...ummm...." Ashley pulled my sleeve up all the way. He gasped when he saw all the cuts. "Kate....does CC know?"
I nodded. "I....just...." I sighed.
"It's ok." He pulled my sleeve back down. "Do the others know?"
"No. I was going to tell them tonight."
"Alright. That's good."
He stood up and walked out. Shortly after I followed him. When we got out to the table, I was asked if I was ok. I replied yes. Ashley sat across from me while I ate. He kicked my foot and I looked up at him. 'Are you sure?' He mouthed. I nodded, but he didn't seem convinced. I finished eating and walked back into my room.I shut my door behind me and fell onto my bed. "I shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning. If anyone's listening right now, I wanna know when I can stop faking my happiness..." I said to myself.
"You can start right now..." a familiar voice said softly as you heard the door close. It was Andy. Oh god, I thought, why did he have to walk in now, of all times? "Hey, I could tell something was up at dinner, you were hiding tears, right..?" I nodded weakly and turned to look up at him. "If you need to cry, there's at least 5 people with a shoulder to lean on in this house, including me..." Andy sat on my bed and put a hand on my leg. "Cmon, you need some well-deserved cuddling." He moved closer and hugged me tightly. I couldn't help but hug back, and rested my head on his shoulder.
*Andy's POV*
She cried into my shoulder and I rubbed her back. We rocked back and forth for what seemed like a hour. The door opened slowly and CC walked in. He didn't show any signs of jealousy but he was sad. As slowly as he entered he left. I was confused but then he came back with Kira. She rushed over to Kate and hugged her.
"Kitten....please tell me what's wrong."
"It's o-ok....I-I'm ok..." she said. "I just...."
A few tears rolled down her cheeks. "I need to tell you guys something...."
