Hey guys! I'm so happy about all the positive feedback the story's last couple of chapters have been receiving. I was really kind of nervous and I wasn't sure how to piece them together, but I'm glad everyone really liked it. Any who, here's one more chapter. Thank you for everyone's reviews, favorites, and follows! They really make me smile!
~Kitty's House, After School~
Kitty opened the front door of her house and went inside. Today was a good day; she met her inspiration/hero, Quinn Fabray, who performed 'Come See About Me' with this college girl named Santana and Brittany from the Glee club. She and Marley discovered things about each other and the Glee club had decided to do 'Gangnam Style' for sectionals. Aside from all the excitement of the day Kitty was really tired from detention, which is funny because they didn't do anything, they just sat there. I'm exhausted from the amount of boredom I had to endure for an hour and a half. But whatever, anything for Marley. Marley! Oh Marley… Kitty smiled as she remembered what had happened in the girls' restroom. Surprisingly, Marley is a fantastic kisser, WAY better than any guy I kissed. Kitty smiled to herself, but then got embarrassed at what she had just thought. Not that I ever fantasized about kissing Marley or anything…! Kitty thought in her defense to herself. Liar! Her inner conciouns told her. Kitty blushed because she knew it was very, very true. The girl walked past the entering hallway of her home and plopped her backpack to the side.
"Mom, I'm home from detention." Kitty shouted and then immediately registered what she had just said. Oh crap, she doesn't even know I have detention yet!
"Oh, so first you throw a slushy at Maria's face, and now you have after-school detention?!" Her mother asked furiously from the kitchen as she quickly strode in the living room, holding a hanger that hung a Cheerios uniform. But this wasn't just any Cheerios uniform; this Cheerios uniform had a big, purple stain on it. Kitty was shocked that her mother figured all this out so quickly. Believe it or not she had actually wanted to tell her mother herself. Way to freakin' go Kitty! Kitty thought to herself.
"How did you know that?" Kitty asked silently, looking down at her feet, she didn't know why she asked that; the evidence was obviously located in her mother's hands.
"Maria's parents called, and they also dropped THIS," Kitty's mother shook the Cheerios uniform in her hand "off for us to pay for dry cleaning! But that's not important. What is important is the whole Lima population; imagine what they'll think about you Katherine!"
"Mom, I don't care about the whole Lima 'population', if that's what you wanna call it. Look mother, Maria deserved it okay, if I didn't do it, someone would've done it eventually." Kitty said and walked past her mother, too angry to argue about this now; but her mother clutched her hand before she could get away.
"Don't speak to me like that young lady, now you're going to listen to me." Kitty's mother snapped as she gripped Kitty's right arm tighter and threw Marias' Cheerios uniform across the room. "You know that Mr. and Mrs. Contreras (Maria's parents) are placed in VERY high positions in this town, and you know damn well that I've always told you to be extra nice to that girl because of it. Damn it Kitty, why can't you do anything right?"
"Just because her dad's the freakin' Mayor and her mom works as a County Judge doesn't mean I have to be extra nice to that bitch!" Kitty retaliated, shocked at her own words. This was one of the first times she had ever stood up to her mother, the first time well, that'll be revealed in future chapters because the readers might actually fling their desks over if I tell you guys the horrific details.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" her mother asked her, furious as can be.
"I SAID, just because her dad's the freakin' Mayor and her mom works as a County Judge doesn't mean I have to be extra nice to that b-" *WHACK* Kitty's words were interrupted by a hard, merciless slap in the face. Kitty gasped, shocked at what had just happened. She wasn't shocked at the fact her mother had slapped her, nor the fact that there was a stinging sensation in her right cheek. She was astonished at the fact that she was actually sticking up to her mother. Every time her father wasn't around, her mother would let Kitty know EXACTLY what she thought of her. She always wanted Kitty to be perfect. To how the way her hair was fixed, to the exact angle that she was wearing her backpack at. Kitty knew, that since her father wasn't around at this moment, she was going to say exactly what she had wanted to say to her mother for the past sixteen years of her life, and she didn't care how many times she got struck in the face, she was really going to let her mother have it this time.
"You know what mom, unlike you, I want to get to know people's exact personality before I treat them either good or bad, believe it or not. I'm tired of always having to kiss other people's asses just so whenever they need something, they can come over to our house and kiss your-" *WHACK*! Another slap in the face, this time, it was Kitty's left cheek that had felt a stinging sensation, even a little bit worse than the right's cheek unpleasant perception earlier. Her mother's grip now made its' way to Kitty shoulders as she shook her daughter and raised her voice at her.
"SO I'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF YOU FOR SIXTEEN YEARS, PLUS I GAVE BIRTH TO YOU, I FED YOU, I WASTED MONEY ON YOU, AND LOVED YOU…FOR THIS?!" Her mother yelled at the top of her longs, now in a complete stake of rage that you would have to see to believe. Kitty went unphased though; she wasn't finished with what she wanted to say.
"You 'LOVED' me, ha, what a laugh! You only 'loved' me when dad was around, the second he stepped out the door and left for work you decided to sit on your ass and watch those stupid soap operas that aren't ever real, in fact, you're gonna CROAK before you and the rest of the dumbasses that watch the soaps ever figure out if Sergio will finally propose to Elaine, that's how RIDICULOUS they are! The only GOOD freakin' thing you've ever done for ME is when you gave birth to me, and as far as I can see, I'm surprised you even managed that you mentally DERANGED PSYCHOPATH!" Kitty yelled and smiled to herself. Low blow Kitty, good job. Take a hit at what she loves the most! Those ridiculous soap operas on Channel 12! Oh my God though, I can't believe I just said that! Kitty looked into her mother's eyes with the uttermost triumph. Because within herself she knew, that no matter how many slaps her mother would strike her with, or no matter how many times her mother would try to convince her this was all her fault, that there was no use to it anymore. During the years Kitty had always thought that when her mother struck her for some reason, it was always her fault. Then, her mother would start striking her for ridiculous stuff. Apparently, Kitty's mom had seen the change in Kitty's eyes for the first time. Because usually, when she would strike her, she would see fear in the girls eyes, but now, at this very moment, she was staring into the eyes at a girl who was fed up with all the hits and with all the lies and with all the hurting and with all the fake! She was staring in the eyes of a girl who had been deprived of who she really was for sixteen years of her life, wait, scratch that, her ENTIRE life, and Kitty's mother was enraged at the fact that her daughter had stood up to her and had made her look like a fool, even if there was no one around. Go on ahead; hit me, that's all you've ever done to me anyways! Kitty's eyes challenged, unafraid of the aftermath that was near to come. Kitty's mom put all her might and force into the next slap. *WHACK* Kitty didn't say a word, but had token a few steps back and held her right cheek, a little bit surprised of the pain because that was the hardest time she had ever been slapped by anyone, including her mother. Once the pain had washed away to a little less discomfort, Kitty was about to take another glance at her mother to tell her something else, but the next blow had been too quick for her mind to process, and yes, you can say she wasn't expecting it at all. The only thing Kitty had time to do was close her eyes, she could feel this blow was going to hurt more than the last, and she was right. *BOOM!* A hard strike to the left cheek. This blow was different though because usually Kitty's mother would slap her with her whole hand, but this time she hit her with the bottom part of her palm, so it hurt just about as much as a punch in the face would've. Kitty fell over the coffee table and knocked down a couple of plants before encountering the ground. It was a predictable blow for Kitty though; she was used to her mother hitting her for absurd motives, so now Kitty's mother had a reason to hit her. It was totally worth it though.
"GO TO YOUR ROOM!" Kitty's mother shrieked and pointed upstairs. Kitty looked up to see her mother's face. God woman, you need serious help! Kitty thought. She actually wanted to say that, but the throbbing responsiveness from her left cheek warned her not to. So instead of standing her ground she got up, grabbed her backpack, and marched upstairs, but not before reaching the last step and getting the last word.
"I HATE YOU!" Kitty screamed at the top of the last step and quickly ran to her room and closed the door. She heard a loud noise coming from the bottom of the staircase as she slowly pressed her ear to her bedroom door.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Kitty's mother yelled. Kitty quickly locked the door. Thank God for bedroom door locks! Kitty felt a small feeling of relief for the bedroom lock and pressed her ear to her bedroom door once more. She heard her mother stomping up the door. Whenever her stomps got louder, Kitty panicked. She knew she was getting closer. Finally, the stomps were replaced by really furious pounds hitting her door. Kitty backed up, very scared and nervous. Maybe I can jump out the window! Oh God NO! I'm not that desperate…am I?
"KATHERINE TAYLOR WILDE, OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" Kitty's mother yelled as she violently kept on moving the door handle and simultaneously pounded Kitty's bedroom door. "FINE THEN!" her mother shrieked as she marched down the upstairs hallway towards the bathroom. Kitty sighed in relief as she walked towards the door. She pressed her ear to the door for the third time and tried to hear what her mom was doing. Then, she heard noises coming from the bathroom. Oh, she must be in the bathroom. Kitty thought to herself. She made her way to her bed and laid down, heart still pumping from the series of unfortunate events that had just happened. She tried to relax, but couldn't. She was unable to shake off the fact that she was certainly afraid for the next time her and her mom were going to be alone in the house. Then Kitty thought about her dad. Kitty really loved her dad, a lot! He was a lot better, nicer, and understanding than Kitty's mom had ever been. Sometimes, I just think he stayed with her because of me, if not; he would've been long gone. I myself would've done the exact same thing! Kitty thought to herself. She frowned because he was never around, always traveling to other stated or leaving late at night to attend business matters. He never sees what a complete psychopath this woman is because when he's here, she always puts on a front! Kitty thought bitterly to herself. Well, I guess that's why people say, 'You never know what happens behind closed doors'. Just take my family for example! Ugh, I HATE how she always makes him believe that- Kitty's thoughts were interrupted as she heard loud steps in front of her bedroom door. It's okay, she probably just came out of the bathroom. Kitty tried to calm herself down, but couldn't. Then all of a sudden, she saw the door knob quickly jerk to the right. The door swung open, and standing before her, was her very, very, furious mother.
~* I am SO sorry you guys! I really needed to show everyone Kitty's home life, and what better time to do it than this chapter? Trust me, I hated writing it just as much as you did reading it, but it needed to be done. I am also sorry for the lack of Marley in this, but trust me; she'll be back in the next chapter! Adios amigos and amigas! Next chapter will be better, I promise!~*
