Chapter 3
Damnation
A Friend's House
11 P.M
"Sam, can you sing me a bedtime song?"
"Ugh, do I have to?" she groans, embarrassed. Cat gives her a puppy-eyed, which leads to a reluctant nod from the dirty blonde.
"Twinkle twinkle, little star-"
"-No!" Jade screams from her study table, a dumping ground for homework. Cat squeals back in Jade's bed. Soon enough, the scolding gets to her. She cries.
Sam gives Jade a 'What the hell' look. Jade looks guilt-ridden and caresses Cat's forehead.
"I'm sorry, Cat" she apologizes, genuine. "This group project is stressing me out"
"Who's in your group?" Sam shoots the question. Jade points to Cat - ending the question.
"I'm sorry for getting her sick-"
"-A 20 degree drop?" Jade snaps, throwing her arms in the air. "That would make anyone sick, you wagbag!"
Sam gets a frog in her throat. The tears do the talking for her. The dirty blonde never intended to hurt Cat, but in hindsight, she should've known better.
"Jade, it was an accident" Cat sits up, coughing intermittently. Sam rests her hand over Cat's face, signaling her to pause. The dirty blonde sniffles. She wipes her eyes and leaves the room. Prolonged silence as a distancing motorcycle can be heard outside the window.
Both of the teenagers are lost for words. Jade pockets her hand and mumbles, "I'll make you some ginger soup." Cat feigns a smile and nods. The gothic teen fakely smiles and gently closes the door behind her.
Thunder erupts outside.
Sam and Cat's Balcony
12 A.M
Sam sits on a stool, surrounded by clouds, rain, and thunder. She has stripped down to a bathing suit. First the coughs come, then the sneezing and shivering. The dirty blonde doesn't mind. She curls ups and rubs her quivering arms. She glances at the angry ask above her. A smile erupts.
"Come for me. Hurt me the way I hurt her."
