"Diane I asked you not to call me anymore." Mark said as he stretched out in the bed.
Diane had taken to calling him every couple of days and he was getting tired of dealing with her, not to mention the fact Katlyn's nerves were on edge from it also.
"Mark I want you back, I love you, give me a second chance?" Diane pleaded.
"No, I mean it; leave me alone, I love Katlyn. Stop calling me." Mark said and hung up.
Diane hung up the phone ad sighed. She wanted Mark back and she was going to have him one way or the other. The problem was that little bitch. She needed to get rid of her, then Mark would take her back. Diane picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey baby. I got a little job for you, interested?" Diane said.
Diane listened for a minute and then replied.
"Well you can do what you want with the girl when I have Mark back, I'm sure you could have a lot of fun with her." Diane said laughing.
Diane talked a few more minutes and hung up. She sat back in her car and laughed. She was going to have Mark back and that little bitch was going to pay.
Katlyn sat outside the ring while Mark practiced. She was typing away on her laptop. She was writing a new story. Katlyn was excited two of her children's books had been accepted for publication. She had been so happy yesterday when she found out. She finally felt like she was getting her life under control. Mark had taken her out to dinner last night to celebrate. He had told her he was proud of all her hard work. That meant more to her than anything.
"Hey brat what you doing?"
Katlyn looked up with a frown on her face it was Scott.
"What do you want?" Katlyn asked.
"Oh just to spread some sunshine in your dreary little world." Scott said smirking.
Katlyn couldn't figure for the life of her why Scott didn't like her. She had tried to be polite to him, but it just didn't work.
Katlyn sighed.
"Leave me alone." Katlyn said and went back to working.
Scott sat down beside her.
"It's rude to ignore people." Scott said.
"Listen leave me the hell alone, I don't like you." Katlyn said.
"You know you could benefit from a belt across your ass, watch you mouth." Scott said.
Katlyn turned white at the reference. Scott was just like Tom, he was brutal. Katlyn packed up her laptop and got up to leave. Scott knew she was really upset and hadn't meant to upset her. Scott always pushed people buttons. He was just being himself.
"Baby you okay?"
Katlyn turned and Paul was standing there.
She didn't say anything, Scott had really hit to close to home with his comment and it brought back bad memories.
Paul had heard Scott and seen the look on Katlyn's face. He knew she was upset.
Katlyn wrapped her arms round Paul and laid her head against his chest.
Paul hugged her close.
"It's okay; let's go get you something to drink." Paul said.
Paul glared at Scott and turned toward the ring.
"Mark, I'm taking Katlyn to get something to drink." Paul hollered to Mark.
Mark turned and seen Katlyn lying against Paul.
"Is she alright?" Mark asked.
"Ask your buddy here?" Paul said and with his arm around Katlyn walked off.
Mark jumped out of the ring and went up to Scott.
"Listen Scott I know your just being you, but lay off Katlyn, she don't need your grief. That kids been through hell in her life and she don't need people bringing her down." Mark said.
"Mark I didn't mean nothing, its just my way to be a smart ass." Scott said.
"Yea well lay off her, she don't need any more jerks in her life, she's had enough." Mark said and with that jumped back in the ring.
Scott sat there thinking. He had always been a smartass. He wondered why he had gotten under her skin. He sighed. He would just stay away from her. He liked Mark and didn't want to make an enemy of him. Scott got up and walked off.
Katlyn sat beside Paul in the cafeteria.
"Want to talk about it?" Paul said.
"It's that Scott, he's such a jerk, I don't know why he don't like me. I haven't done anything to him." Katlyn said.
"You haven't done anything, its just his way, don't let him get to you." Paul said.
"I guess." Katlyn said.
"Want me to beat him up for you?" Paul asked grinning.
Katlyn started laughing.
"No I guess not." Katlyn said smiling.
"There's my girl, knew you was in there somewhere." Paul said kissing her cheek.
Katlyn hugged Paul.
"Thanks for cheering me up." Katlyn said.
"Anytime sweetheart." Paul said.
Eyes watched from across the cafeteria.
Katlyn was unaware of his glance. Soon she would be his. She was beautiful He had noticed her from the first day she had showed up here. But now fate had lended a hand.
Diane wanted her out of the way. He would get her out of the way and he would take great pleasure in teaching her to please him. He couldn't wait to get his hands on her.
"Soon Katlyn soon." He whispered as he continued to watch her.
