Cat's POV
I woke up and the first thing that hit me was the dull ache between my legs. I sat up slightly and looked over to the clock. 3:47. I felt something tug on my waist and saw Robbie's arm there. A small smile crept onto my face and I turned towards him, shuffling closer to my source of warmth. With a smile and a contented sigh, I fell back into a deep sleep.
I woke up again and it felt cold. I opened my eyes and saw that there was nobody next to me, just my arm resting on the blue bed sheet. I sat up slowly, pulling the duvet up to my chin and pushing my hair back with my free hand. The room was dark but I could see a slit of light streaming in through the crack in the curtains. I looked over to the clock and saw that it was 10:12.
"Robbie? Robbie?" I called quietly. I listened out but couldn't hear anything. I got my phone from the bedside table and saw I had 7 missed texts from my parents and 3 missed calls. I quickly typed, impressed at how quickly I had thought up a lie, and clicked send.
To: Momma
I stopped off at Jade's and we lost track of the time. Her dad was sleeping and we didn't want to wake him up so I crashed at hers. I couldn't text you because my phone was dead and Jade left her charger at Beck's so I couldn't charge it. I'm really sorry if I worried you and dad, I love you guys xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
I made sure that the message had sent and locked my phone. When I looked up I noticed Robbie stood in the doorway.
"You made me jump!" I said, smiling at him. He didn't smile back, just kept staring at me. The smile started to slide off my face. "Y-you okay?" I asked.
"Are you ready to leave yet?" he asked.
"L-leave?" I asked.
"Yeah, you need to get out" he said, pointing to the door.
"W-what? Robbie what are you talking about? Is your mom coming home?" I asked, dread filling my stomach.
"No. I just want you to get out and go home" he said, walking towards me.
"But we…made love" I whispered.
He scoffed and started laughing. But not the laugh that I loved, this laugh was cold and harsh.
"We had sex, Cat" he said harshly.
"It meant more than that" I whispered.
"No it didn't. It was just sex. It meant nothing" he said, in a monotonous voice.
"But you said you loved me, you told me all that stuff about yourself" I said, tears pooling in my eyes and a lump forming in my throat.
"I lied. I was acting!" he said, laughing harshly again.
"N-no you didn't. You meant it" I said, desperately trying to understand what was going on.
"You know all those girls who say they've had sex with me and then I say they're lying and Jade destroys them socially?" he asked. I only nodded, not being able to form words.
"Well they're not lying. But Jade doesn't know that. And neither does the rest of the school." He smirked. "You have 5 minutes to grab your stuff" he shouted as he left the room.
I just sat there on the bed with the duvet wrapped around myself, struck dumb by disbelief. Robbie. My Robbie. It's not true. He wouldn't do that to me. He wouldn't do that to anyone. He acts tough but he's really just a broken little kid with a huge heart. My Robbie.
I felt a tear trickle down my cheek and quickly wiped it away. No. He can't see me cry. I got up and winced at the ache between my legs. I quickly gathered all of my clothes from yesterday and put them on. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and grabbed all of my stuff, chucking it into my pink handbag. I walked out of Robbie's room and down the stairs, where Robbie was waiting by the door. He didn't say anything, just opened it for me. I was about to walk out when I stopped.
"Robbie" I said, turning to him. "Look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me, and then I'll believe that it didn't mean anything." He didn't say anything and I felt my heart flutter in relief. A small smile graced my features as I almost stepped out the door, but he pulled me back and turned me to face him.
"I don't love you and I never did. What happened last night meant nothing to me, I was using you this whole time" he said, looking me dead in the eye. I felt my heart break as I swallowed down a sob and blinked back tears.
"Well. That's that then" I muttered as I walked out the door, head looking down. I shuffled all the way home, begging myself not to cry. As I opened my front door and stepped in, my mom called me into the kitchen. Crap. She saw through my lie. She knows I was with…him. I took a deep, shuddery breath and shuffled over to the kitchen. The sight that met me should have made me scream with joy and dance around. Because Sam, Gibby, Freddie and Carly were all sat around my kitchen table, beaming at me. Instead I took one shuddery breath and completely broke down. Everything I had been holding in flooded out as the tears poured out of my eyes and large, loud sobs racked my body. I ran upstairs, into my room and threw myself on the bed. The sadness took over my whole body and I couldn't stop crying.
Oh I cried.
And I cried.
And I cried.
Until I eventually cried myself to sleep.
AN: Not a very long chapter but a very sad one ): I know a lot of you are going to hate me for this but the reasons will be revealed…eventually!
I am soooo excited for the sam & cat special the bit where sam says that Freddie was the only guy she loved and sam kissing Robbie and argghhhhh I'm just soooo excited! :D
