My heart started racing as I walked down the spiral staircase. I look toward the doors to see him standing there. I couldn't walk any closer scared I might lose control.
He looks over to me smiling, "Alex." he says walking closer to me.
I felt frozen to the ground when he walked over. He wrapped his arms around me, he was so warm. I took in his scent, smelling the sensation of his cheap cologne that never smelt better. I felt so cold when he let go of me.
"Justin..." I whisper more to myself than him. I look at him full of sorrow, I couldn't be around him knowing I might break. I take a couple of steps back, scared to be close to him any longer.
"I have to go." I say softly walking away from him. I look back at him seeing the confused look on his face. I sigh he could never know how I felt. I open the door slowly, and walked out.
"Love, I was just about to come visit." Mason says walking over to me. I look down not wanting to look at him. He lifts my head forcing me to look at him.
"What's wrong dear?" He says looking in my eyes. My feelings could no longer be held in, I started to cry. Tears fell down my eyes rapidly that I couldn't control it. I wasn't the one to break down like this.
"I'm so sorry Mason." I say choked up from crying.
"Love-." Was all Mason could say before the door opened. Justin was standing there confused, then he looked at me. His confused look quickly turned to anger. He grabbed Mason by the collar, and shoved him to the wall.
"What did you do to her!" He yells tightening his grip on Mason. I stand there shocked, Justin was so mad. It was very rare that Justin yells at anyone.
"I should be asking you that! You're the one who treats her like shit!" Mason yells struggling to get out of his grip. He only tightened his grip on her, and grabbed Mason by the neck squeezing it.
"Justin stop!" I scream taking out my wand, and zapped him. He fell to the ground, not moving. What did I just do! I run over to his side shaking him.
"Justin!" I say panicking as I'm shaking him more rapidly. He opens his eyes, and getting up.
"I'm sorry." He says slowly walking back in the house. I felt guilty when he walked in the house, he was only trying to protect me. I sigh, just like he always did.
"I really don't like your brother. I can't believe you went to his side instead of mine!" He says jealous, giving me a glare. I look over at him shocked that he would even say that!
"He's my brother." I force the words out of my mouth.
"I'm your boyfriend! I should be the one who came first! I'm the only one who actually treats you right! Your family will always favor Justin over you. But with me you don't have to worry about that! But you still went to his side when I was the one he was strangling!" He rants on, making me feel disgusted with him. How could he say something like that. I was no longer thinking about Justin. I was so angry with Mason I couldn't even think.
"I don't give a shit if your my boyfriend or not, that's my family! My family always comes first no matter what! I still respect your family even though they tried to eat me! My family is there for me no matter what! Sure they want me to change, but only because they care! You will never come before my family." I yell angrily. He looks at me shocked, then quickly turned to anger.
"Then I can't be with you!" He yells storming off. I let him go, I didn't want him back. I couldn't go back in the house. So I walked down the spiral stairs to the sub shop. I felt nauseous from all the complication. I ran to the garbage, and threw up. I wipe my mouth with a napkin that was on one of the tables. I pull myself together, and walked out the door. There was no sign of Mason anywhere. I walk toward the park, and noticed a woman with a kitten. She looked like she was going to throw it in the busy road. I run over to her taking the kitten out of her hands.
"You want that kitten then take it! I don't care!" She yells storming away. I look at the kitten, it looked newborn. The kitten was pure black with silky fur. The kitten starts to lightly try to suck on my finger. Must be hungry. I knew I had a money, I just didn't want to spend it on a cat. I hear the cat loudly purring. I smile, maybe I could keep this kitten without letting anybody knowing about it. I knew there was a pet store that was down a couple blocks. I start walking toward the pet store. I wonder how long it's gone without food? I walk faster feeling bad for the kitten. I hated when animals are abused, animals were one of my soft spots.
I get to the pet store, and walked inside. I hold the kitten tight seeing the big dogs here. I see a guy standing there who looked like he worked here.
"Excuse me?" I ask politely. He turns around with a smile on his face.
"What can I help you with cutie?" He asks clearly flirting with me. I feel a little awkward that he called me cutie. I put it past me though, and say.
"I have this kitten that is really hungry. Is there any kind of special milk that you feed newborns?" I ask him. He beckoned me to follow him. We get to the cat isle, and he hands me a big bottle of milk that was made specially for kittens. I smile taking it, and walked to the cashier.
"Is that all ma'am?" The girl asks. I nod my head taking my money out.
"Total is nine dollars." She says. I hand her a ten, and got a dollar in change. I walk out of the pet store, and started toward home.
Once I got home, I hid the kitten in my shirt. I walked up the stairs that led to my apartment. I walked threw the doors. Everyone was gathering around the dinner table. I see Justin sitting there staring at me. I look away bolting to the stairs with no words said to anyone. I go to my room, and locked my door. I take the kitten out of my shirt, and then realized I didn't have a bottle to feed the kitten! I didn't want to go back to the pet store, so I magically made a bottle for the kitten. I pour the milk in the bottle, and took the kitten in my hand. I put the bottle in the kittens mouth. I've never seen a little animal so hungry. I hear a knock on my door that makes me jump.
"Who is it?" I ask.
"Justin." I froze, I didn't want him to see the kitten. He would make me get rid of it, when it needed me the most.
"Go away!" I yell back. I hear the door unlock, and he walks in.
"No we need to talk!" He says determined. I'm busted when he saw the kitten eating.
"Alex why do you have a kitten?" I'm caught red-handed, there was no lying about this.
"Because it needs me. It's starving." I defensively say holding the kitten close to me.
"Alex you know I'm allergic to cats!"
"Well you don't live here anymore! Now get out!" I say rudely. I don't want to deal with Justin, when I was just happy a minute a go. I don't need to be upset, I don't want to be upset. I'm tired of everything, I just wanted to be alone.
"No cat or not I'm coming in to talk to you!" He says shutting the door behind him. Was that suppose to stop me from zapping him out of my room?
"I don't want to talk to anybody now!"
"I'm sorry Alex. I'm so sorry for trying to strangle your boyfriend. I-"
"He's not my boyfriend anymore. I don't want to hear it Justin. I just want to be alone, can you do that for me?" I cut him off not letting him finish what he was going to say. He turns around walking out the door. Lightly closing it behind him. It was just a couple more days I can handle it.
