The Cat's Meow
Author's Note: Hey guys! Summer is more than half way done and I haven't sat down to write anything. I know I won't have time once fall comes around again, so I figured that I better get to writing. I decided to write about one of my childhood favorites, but I decided to write about a pairing I don't think gets enough love and attention. I welcome constructive criticism and I love reviews! So please do tell me what you think! Also, feel free to follow my Instagram that I've dedicated specially to my fanfictions ( littlered1615) . I'll post about upcoming updates and news relating to my current stories. I'll also post about upcoming stories! And now we'll get onto the story!
Chapter One: Ghost Zone
The clock on the wall chimed, telling me that yet another hour had passed. I sighed and stood up from the couch, where I had been sitting waiting for him for the last several hours. Anger swirled through me as I thought about the promise he'd made me the last time we'd fought.
"I can't keep doing this anymore, Johnny!" I yelled. He put his hands in the air claiming his innocence. He always claimed he was an innocent bystander whenever I caught him in Amity Park flirting with those noxious human girls. Confusion and hurt mixed with the anger that surged through my veins. This was becoming a regular occurrence. He came home late, if at all. He came home smelling like perfume. I was beginning to feel like a chore that he hated doing rather than his girlfriend.
"I already told you that I'm sorry, Kitten." He said. His voice was the same pleading voice that he'd used a million times over. The same voice he used when he wanted to get under my skin. "You know those girls, they always want what they can't have. They could never have me, baby doll. You know that you're the only girl for me, Kitty."
He moved closer to me and opened his arms just wide enough for me to slip in between. When I didn't move he sighed loudly, letting me know that, once again, he thought I was being irrational. "C'mon Kitten," He said his voice sharpening. "Y'know I love ya." He said roughly.
I raised an eyebrow at his tone, and instantly his facial expression changed. Instead of looking at me like I was being a silly teenaged girl, he now looked at me apologetically. "Please Kitty?" He asked sweetly. "I promise I'll do better. I'll be good. I promise."
"Oh Johnny," I said, my voice hanging on my exasperated sigh. "I love you too. I'm sorry I get so jealous." My voice was suddenly sweet, and I pushed the small scolding voice in my head aside as I squeezed Johnny tightly and nuzzled into the crook of his neck.
The heavy slam of a door pulled me back into reality. Johnny grumbled angrily as he threw the keys to his bike onto the small table by the front door. I stepped from the living room into the entry way. "And where have you been?" I asked softly, the anger :gleaming through the quiet words that fell from my lips.
"Don't start with me, Kitty." He answered gruffly. "I'm not in the mood to handle your bullshit right now." He pushed past me, knocking me off balance.
"My bullshit?" I asked. "You mean me getting upset about you coming home hours after you were due to be home, blowing off our date night so you could flirt and hook up with human girls, lying to me about where you were going, and last but not least cheating on me with those girls? That bullshit, Johnny?" I asked, the anger swelling in my voice with each syllable that fell into the air.
"What do you want from me, Kitty?" He asked angrily, throwing his hands into the air to show his frustration. "I already said that I was sorry! What more could you possibly want from me?"
"What could I want, Johnny?" I asked, chuckling bitterly through the tears that had already begun to stream down my cheeks. "I don't know, could it be possible that I want a boyfriend that I can count on to be there when he says he's going to? Or could I want a boyfriend that doesn't look at every piece of ass that walks by?" I can' do this anymore Johnny! Damnit! I can't do this anymore!"
"Oh, come on, Kitty! We both know that you're too much of a coward to actually leave me, Kitty! You don't have anybody else Kitty. I'm the only person that will ever love you!" He yelled as I began to turn away. His words sank into me painfully, stinging as each one touched my skin. He laughed smugly, knowing that he had my attention.
"I've been tied to your side ever since we were alive Johnny. We've been together for longer than I can remember." I said slowly. "You're all I've had for nearly fifty years, Johnny. I want you to know something before I walk out that door and never come back." My voice cracked as the words stuck painfully in my throat. "I've loved you like I've never loved anyone else in my entire life and afterlife. I would have jumped through hoops to make you happy, and I would have done anything in my power to make sure that you were taken care of. Now I'm taking care of me. You don't deserve me Johnny. You never deserved me." I felt a small smile flirt with the corners of my lips. "I hope you rot in hell."
I turned again and phased through the door. I felt like a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I could hear Johnny screaming my name through the door. The ghost zone, which had always seemed so small to me, suddenly seemed endless. There were so many different doors and portals that I'd never explored. I'd only ever spent time in the small apartment that Johnny and I had shared. Now I had so many different options of where I could go. The Ghost zone was big enough, and there were so many places that I could hide, that I'd never have to see Johnny again.
"Here we go," I whispered to myself as I floated away from the door. The only portal I knew the way to led to Amity Park, the only other place I'd ever been able to call home. Fear coursed through every ounce of my body as I floated toward Amity Park.
