Author's Notes
I know this chapter is really boring but I promise the next chapter will be much more dramatic.
Prologue
Cait couldn't get over the she was having. She flunked out of med school and she had to move back in with her mother. For anyone else it would have been sad and embarrassing. Oh, but not for Caitlin Lauren her it was torture.
She could go a five hour rant about how her mother was a snobby, self-conceited, and bitter, not to mentioned an egotistical self-center b-
Caitlin took a deep breath to calmed herself down. It didn't work and she began to unpack her stuff quite tensely. She couldn't see how this day could get any worst. Maybe Ronnie will cancel our date tonight and break up with me, she thought. Yeah, that would be a real slap to the face.
Tonight Ronnie was taking her for a night on the town. First they were going to have dinner at The Fuddy-Duddy, then they were going to Jitterbugs for some drinks. It wasn't anything special but since Ronnie was missing the activation of the particle accelerator Cait felt as it was proof that he loved her.
Try as she might she couldn't help but feel like she needed people to prove their love to her. It wasn't like she had been nurtured off it. Her mother was self-conceited and apathetic, her father died of MS when she was 6 and her older brother, Charlie died in a car accident when she was 11. When Cait was younger she would sometimes wonder if she was even loved.
Her mother was the main perpetrator though. Her selfishness and overall state of being emotionally barred and blunt had done nothing for Cait.
Caitlin remembered the day she told her mother about Ronnie, hoping that for just once she'd be excited for Cait, instead her mother ranted off the negative.
"So? He designs things, any toddler can do that. If you ask me he's a terrible investment."
Investment. That's how her mother saw people objects, play things used to get to the top.
Caitlin shook those thoughts from her head ignoring them. Tonight was for her and Ronnie and nothing was going to stop that.
At least that's how it was suppose to be.
