Cat's POV
Walking home wasn't far, only ten minutes. When I got home, something was wrong as usual. My parents in a fight.
"SHUT THE HELL UP BITCH!" My dad yelled. I winced. I could hear a beer bottle collide with the wall. My mom screamed, "STOP! LEAVE ME ALONE AND LEAVE!"
I tiptoed as quietly as possible up the stairs as quietly as possible. Luckily my dad didn't notice, so I closed my door softly and I lay down on my bed, my head resting on my soft pillow.
While I was drifting of to sleep, my bedroom door banged open and there stood my drunken father in the doorway. "Hi Kitty." He drawled sadistically, leaving a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
He walked over to my bed, yanking me up by my hair and growled, "Get off your ass." I whimpered and nodded, standing up. He pushed against the wall and punched me repeatedly in the stomach. I cried out in pain, "Daddy, stop, please.." he only growled in response and slapped me across the face and said, "Now Kitty, be a good girl and don't say anything." Something hit me and everything faded to black.
When I woke up, I was surronded by a puddle of blood and my clothes lying next to me. I sunk to the floor, breaking down in tears. It had happened again.
I managed to get off the floor and put my clothes back on. I looked out the window, and my mom and dad had already left for work. The tears were coming fast. I quickly brushed them away and gave a feeble hiccup. I was pathetic.
I went back to my room, happy to lie down without the risk of my dad coming in. Tears dripped down my pale face and onto the plush pink carpet. I reached with a heavy hand for my cellphone.
7 new messgaes
Beck: Why'd you leave
Tori: What's up with you?
Jade: You're acting weird. Call.
Robbie: Cat stop ignoring us! I love you.
Beck: Cat. We need to talk now.
Tori: CAT!
Robbie: I love you.
I sighed, wondering why Robbie still liked her. It was weird.
I wanted to talk to someone, really badly. But mainly, I wanted to talk to Beck and tell all about my father and that I loved him but most of all I just wanted to be in his arms, knowing that everything was going to be okay.
But everything wasn't going to be okay. My father was going to continue abusing me, I didn't have the strength to talk to my friends anymore, and most of all Beck loved Jade and not her. No, Beck would never love her. But Robbie would.
Robbie wasn't who she wanted.
She sighed, picked up her acoustic guitar and began to sing her favorite song.
"I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15
There's never a wish better than this
When you've only got a hundred years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
I'm still the girl but you see I'm a they
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15
There's never a wish better than this
When you've only got a 100 years to live
Halftime goes by, suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye, 67 is gone
The sun is getting high, we're moving on"
I put my guitar down, not able to finish the song.
Beck's POV
I sat in my RV, thinking hard. What happened to the Cat I knew? That everyone knew? Her bright, happy personality seemed to have disappeared.
Ever since she stopped hanging out with Jade, Tori, Andre, Robbie, and me, it caused quite the disturbance. Everybody missed her, being around her sunny self. I missed her too. A lot.
It may seem strange, but I've always felt slightly attracted to the redheaded, psychotic, happy, sunny girl. I loved Jade, but in a way I also loved Cat too.
Something was definitely wrong with Cat. I didn't know why she stopped talking to us. No one did.
Cat's POV
I shuddered when I remembered what had happened last night. I didn't want to think about it.
I took a deep, shaky breath, reached for my cellphone, and dialed Beck's number.
On the first ring, Beck picked up. "Hello?"
"Hi Beck. It's Cat."
"Cat. We need to talk."
"I know. Can I come over?"
"Sure. You need a ride?"
"No. I'll walk."
"Okay."
Click.
I put on my Converse and walked out the door. When I reached Beck's, I couldn't believe what I saw.
Beck and Tori were lying on the couch in full make-out.
I opened my mouth in shock and they finally noticed me. I stared at him and said weakly, "Beck?" He said, "Cat, Tori came over unplanned after I called you and –" I cut him off and hissed, "Save it. I can't believe you would do this to Jade." And me, I thought.
Beck looked sorry and reached for my arm and said, "Cat, don't leave." I just shook my head and slammed the door. I ran 20 minutes until I reached the park I had been to yesterday. Once again, I cried.
While he's kissing a new girl you're rapidly falling and it's raining and he's slowly killing you with pain of unrequited love…
I'm sorry that this chapter is like... total fail. Cause it is. I hate it. It sucks. Ugh. Review.
