Chapter 7

No one ever told me when

I was alone

They just thought I'd know better

Better

-Guns N' Roses, Better

Bolt sat down on the back porch, staring at the stars. Normally, he couldn't see the stars from all the pollution in the air, but for some reason, he could see them tonight. He stared at them intensely. They were like thousands of little fireflies that, no matter how high you jumped or how hard you tried, they always managed to stay out of your reach. He shook his head...That was deep, even for him...

I can't believe I fucked up with Mittens...Oh god, I love her so much...I can't believe I listened to that bitch Valeri and actually agreed to sleep with her. I hope Mittens can forgive me...

Mittens sighed to herself, and felt something in her eye. She rubbed it with her paw, and then stopped. There were dried tear stains on her face. She hadn't even realized she'd been crying. She sighed again and sat on the front porch.

How could he do that to me? I LOVED HIM!!! Wait...Why did I say 'loved'? I still love him, don't I? Of course I do; I'm just pissed off, is all.

She shook her head, trying to get her thoughts straightened out.

I can't believe he'd do that to me; I never would have nor never would do that to him...Should I forgive him? Should I-

Her thoughts were cut off when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Mittens?"

She turned around; it was Danny. She sighed, and turned back around. Danny walked over in front of her, concerned.

"What's wrong? Were you crying?"

"...Yeah. Yeah, I was."

"What's wrong?"

"...Bolt cheated on me at your party earlier."

Danny's ears drooped.

"So that's why you all left earlier in such a hurry. I wanted to make sure you were okay...I guess not, huh?"

Mittens started crying again, and Danny walked over, putting his paw around her and trying to comfort her. She looked at him sadly.

"I don't know what to do, Danny. He says he's sorry, but can I really just forgive him like that?"

"...Honestly, Mittens...I think that's up to you."

Bolt continued to stare at the stars, when he heard something that sounded like the pitter-patter of tiny feet behind him. He turned around, and saw Rhino staring up at him.

"I heard what happened, Bolt."

"How?"

"Well, Danny left the party a little bit ago, and as soon as he left Valeri started bragging about how she'd 'gone wild' on you."

Bolt shook his head, furious.

"...That bitch..."

"You know it's partially you're fault too, Bolt."

Bolt looked down at Rhino, surprised. Ever since he'd known him, he'd never blamed Bolt for anything. But, he was right.

"...You're right; I guess I really fucked up, huh?"

"...Yeah."

"...Rhino, what do I do?"

"...Honestly, I think all that you can do is tell Mittens how sorry you are. If she loves you as much as I think she does, then she'll probably forgive you. The choice is really up to her, though."

"...I can't believe I even thought about cheating on Mittens..."

Rhino smiled.

"Bolt, everyone messes up. Even as badly as you did."

Bolt did a half-glare, half-smile at Rhino. He was right...All he could do now is hope that Mittens would forgive him...
