Note- Here is where it starts to get better! This chapter has slight Lance bashing! The next one has a lot! I would like everyone to review what he or she read! Come on! Everyone loves feedback!
Ch2: What was I thinking?
"Hey ladies. Please tell me that I'm your neighbor. Because if not I'm going to have move again." Pietro says looking into Kitty's eyes with the same look he had given her earlier, the look that froze her, and made her go blank. 'This girl is so probably taken… that makes it more fun though!'
"Oh you are totally Kit's neighbor, but you might as well think that I like live here too." Kate giggles as she finally finds her voice.
"I knew that I chose this house for a reason, there are two beautiful ladies right next door to me! Could I be any luckier?" Pietro asks winking at Kitty. "Since I'm new in town why don't you two lovely ladies show me around. I would love to be shown around by what must be the two most beautiful girls in town." "I mean if I am forced to stay here I might as well make it as good as possible… not sure how good it can be this far away from New York though.'
'A hot guy moves in beside me and I'm taken. And he so makes Lance look like nothing.' Kitty frowns at the thought of Lance. 'This may be a blessing in disguise though. He may make Lance go away. He seems like a good enough guy.' "We'd like love to. Let me like call some friends and we'll all go together." Kitty says smiling with false happiness to mask her inner turmoil. 'I mean after all it's easier to find one when you have on, right? Oh God, did I just-Lance is going to kill me!'
"That's perfectly fine by me, the more the merrier. What is there to frown about when you have me?" Pietro smiled at Kitty, seemingly sensing her confusion; though not knowing how to help or even the reason for her confusion. 'I must be right, she's gone as white as a ghost. Some guys deserve to be shot.'
"Let's totally go to my parent's club. And plus it's like Friday, we are always totally there on Fridays." Kate giggles smiling seductively and tilting her head down slightly to the right. "We'll, like, meet you in an hour"
"I'll be waiting." Pietro says winking at Kitty who turns around quickly walking inside to cover the blush that had erupted onto her face.
-Inside-"What was I, like, thinking? Lance is going to totally beat me." Kitty cries as tears form in her eyes and fall slowly making trails down her cheeks. 'Oh God I don't want beat tonight. I was having such a good day, and he's only hit me a few times in the past few days. I guess that he won't stop after all.'
"Not if he so doesn't, like, see you." Kate says trying to reassure her best friend.
"But he totally will. He always, like, knows when I'm talking to another guy." Kitty says burying her face into her face into her arms as she falls onto her bed. 'I must be making this horrible on Kate. I need to end this with Lance, for Kate's sake. I can tell that keeping this secret is tough on her. Maybe Pietro is just what I needed to prompt me to do it.'
"Not if you totally dress sexy. He'll totally forget that he like, ever hit you. He is so a guy after all."
-30 minutes later-
"Kate! No! This skirt like totally shows my bruise on my knee." Kitty says frantically pulling the skirt down to cover the deep black mark on the outside of her right knee. 'I can't cover this with concealer! I have had tons of experience with covering bruises up, but God! This one is too dark!'
"Just tell everyone that you, like, fell down the stairs." Kate says dismissing the smaller girls fears. Kate didn't approve of Lance and she wasn't going to cover for him.
"Oh yeah, but that lie so totally covers the bruise on my like stomach." Kitty says pointing to the fading yellow black bruise that was shown on her flat stomach. 'I guess that at least I won't get hit too hard for this one. It is coverable. I know that I can cover them up when they start turning yellow.'
"Hello, if you like fall down the stairs you can like get bruised anywhere. You should like, totally break up with him."
"Yeah, and I, totally, want to be put in a coma. And plus he told me that he, like, wouldn't be able to live without me." Kitty says looking into the mirror and putting concealer under her eyes and then trying to cover the bruise on her stomach with it, only partially succeeding. 'I know that you are right Kate, but I'm doing all that I can. God I wish it was as easy as you think that it is.'
"He is such a jerk. He like totally doesn't have a brain cell in his whole head." Kate says fuming. She had had it with Lance a long time before their the now nearly three year abusive relationship.
"Hello ladies. Don't you just look gorgeous, Kitty." Pietro says taking in her short black mini skirt, red metallic halter and knee high stiletto boots. 'Is this really the same girl from earlier? She seems so- why is she so bruised? Is this why she's so confused? Father is going to love this one.'
"Wait, like how did you get in here?" Kitty turns around asking him in a worried tone. 'Oh my God. I can't believe that he is doing this. Why is he in here? Doesn't he know- wait I have to warn him… I can't do it in front of Kate. She still doesn't know that Lance does this kind of stuff.'
"You're parents let me in." He says shrugging at the worry lacing her voice. 'She's fidgety… probably hiding something from everyone and- why do I care? She's just a girl.'
"Oh, like ok. Um, Kate, are you ready to go?" Kitty asks ignoring the look of concern on his face. 'Why is he so concerned? I just met him an hour ago! He looks like he's known something or even known me forever. Don't think about it Kitty, you're imagining it.'
"Yeah, I've been ready since I don't have a boyfriend to meet I don't have to dress up." Kate says smiling suggestively at Pietro and raising an eyebrow.
"You're right." Kitty says smiling. "Well we don't like want Lance to have to wait, lets go." Kitty says walking down the hallway and taking careful steps down the stairs for fear of falling. 'If I fall now he'll so believe me about falling, but… wait why do I care? I so don't believe this. I am falling for a guy I hardly know!'
'Who is this Lance guy? This may be harder than I thought, but the Maximoff charm will prevail. Is this girl really the one that father wants me to recruit. She doesn't seem like a person he would recruit. She must have a really nice power.' "What happened Kitty? Those bruises look kinda bad?"
"Oh I am such a blond. I like fell down the stairs the other day." "Please believe me. I know that I just met you but I don't want you to be hurt too. Lance has hurt so many guys who showed any interest in me at all. I don't want another hurt for me.'
