Chapter 31

She Got What She Deserved

[Tori's POV]

Tears fell from my eyes like rain as I slowly made my way back to my house.

I can't believe that didn't work. I knew my words weren't enough to keep her from running back, so I thought for sure if I did the extreme and kiss her it would show her that….I even don't know what it would show her, I guess wasn't anything to show. I just didn't want her to go back. I tried to play with her mind. It's easy to play with Cat's mind, but this time it didn't work. Now she's probably confused and even more sadden by my actions.

I walked into my house and close and locked the door behind me.

"Mom! Hey come look at this!" Kaylee said as she ran up to me with her laptop.

"Not now Kaylee. Show me tomorrow."

"All you have to do is look! I made this at school in Visual Communications! And my teacher just sent it to me with a grade! Look!"

I took a glance at the computer. "That's nice Monica." I said as I turned around and started to the stairs.

"You didn't even look. And my name is Kaylee."

"Yeah." Was I said as I finally made it to the top of the stairs and to my room where the shower was running for Beck.

I laid on my stomach with my chin on my crossed arms as I sighed.

Cat's my best friend. I can't keep letting her go through this. I have to do something. Who the hell does Jade think she is!? How can she do that to someone as innocent and sweet as Cat is. Ugh! It makes me want to…..hurt Jade so bad, give her taste of her own medicine. How would she like it if someone was burning her and hitting on her? Someone needs to show Jade how that would feel. Maybe I can….okay so maybe I can't. But someone else can. Maybe I can hire a hitman to beat on her.

Okay Tori shut up, you're going crazy now.

I sighed again.

Cat just needs someone to treat her right, someone to actually love her. I wonder if she even knows what real love feels like? I wonder if Jade…no dumb question, Jade doesn't love her. If she loved her, she wouldn't be treating her like she is. Even if it was just for one day, I would love to show Cat what real love is like. I mean, not forreal on my part, but just for Cat, and then maybe she'll see that Jade doesn't love her and then she'll leave and actually find someone who does.

Who does Jade think she is? I still can't get over her. How can you get over someone who is hurting and brain washing your best friend. I wonder what pathetic lies she uses to get Cat to stay with her and Cat actually believing them. The worst part about all this is….I really can't do anything unless Cat comes to me and tells me she wants to be helped which I know she never will. So what can I do? Sit around see her hurt…no, but…that's all I can do. And I probably can't even do that now because I probably just messed with our friendship in a way that probably put Cat in a horrible place. What was I thinking!? Why did I do that!?

God I hope she doesn't tell Jade….

[Italy's & Kodak's Phone Convo]

Kodak: "Uh..hey."

Italy: "Kodak? Um…hi?"

[Monica's POV]

Friday Morning

"Isis." I said as I walked up to her before the bell rung for our first block class.

She ignored me as she shuffled through her locker.

"Isis, come on. I'm sorry."

"Okay." She stated simply as she pulled out the supplies she needed for her class and started to walk away but I grabbed her arm in which she yanked away and turned to me roughly.

"What Oliver!? I have nothing to say to you!"

"Take me back Isis."

"Oh are you finished with your boy toys?"

"No, I mean yes. I mean-"

"Bye." She said turning from me again but I grabbed her arm but this time she grabbed my arm and twisted hard.

"Ahh! Isis!"

"Stop mother fuckin touching me!" She said as she let go letting my arm spin back into place.

I sighed as I rubbed my arm. "Isis! Just listen to me please!"

DING, DING, DING, DING

"Too late." She shrugged as she walked off to her class.

I just kicked a locker as I let my forehead fall onto it.

I made a huge mistake. I should have never said what I said or did what I did….well I didn't even do anything actually. Even though I said I want to explore new things and see what guys are like, I never did. I haven't even looked at a guy let alone try to date one (which I'm not allowed to date until I'm 18 but it seems with Isis my mother made an acceptation). All I can think about is Isis. Ever since I left I can't get her off my mind. I miss her. She meant a lot to me and I guess I didn't realize how much she meant to me until I lost her and now I will do almost anything to have her back. She's all that I want, I know this. Forget the guys. I want Isis. I want her. And I'll to get her back somehow.

[Kaylee's POV]

"W,w,hat's wrong?" Ikenzie asked during lunch as she sat with her hands crossed on the table and a frown on her face.

I shrugged as I sat with my chin in my hands.

"You h,h,aven't touched y,your f,food. Something's u,up."

I sighed as I played around with a french-fry from my tray. "It's just my parents."

"A,are they not g,g,getting along or something?"

"No they get along well. Almost too well."

"D,do you want t,t,to talk about it?"

I sighed again as I shifted in my seat. "Well my parents just act as if I don't exist or that they don't care much about me. They lie to me all the time and I just feel that maybe…I'm not wanted. I feel like I'm just "in the way". I don't think they love me much and as much as that saddens me it really pisses me off."

I watched as Ikenzie's frown greatened. "D,did you try talking with them?"

"They won't listen 'Kenz! I've tried. My dad…he's never around so he's out the question. The only person I really can talk to is my mom and she always pushes me to the side for later, but never gets around to it. I would die for one day out with my parents Ikenzie. Just one day." I said as I felt a tear escape my eye and slip down my face but before I had a chance to wipe it Ikenzie reached her hand and over and caught it sliding down my face with one finger.

She looked at me with big pretty hazel eyes as hers turned glossy with tears. "Don't cry." She said softly. "I c,c,c,care about you. I d,don't think y,you're a waste."

DING, DING, DING

I sighed as I looked down before I felt a pair of soft lips on my cheek. My eyes widen as I looked over at Ikenzie who still held a frown on her face. "We'll f,f,figure something out." She gave a sad smile as she grabbed her backpack and her uneatened lunch and walked away.

I reached up to my cheek to feel the ghost of her kiss still lingering on my cheek as a small smile formed on my lips.

"Hey." My mother said as I hopped into the car as she picked me up from school.

"Hi." I stated plainly as I slammed my door.

"How was your day?"

I sat there quietly for a moment. She asks me this every day when she picks me up like she actually cares and when I do start talking, she doesn't really listen. It's like her mind is somewhere else.

RING, RING, RING

Of course, why wouldn't her phone ring.

"Hello?" She answered in a preppy voice.

"Have you lost your mind! Have you lost your fucking mind!?" I heard a louder voice yell through her phone as we rode in silence.

"What? Who is this?"

"Oh you'll find out very soon you fucking, UGHHH!"

"Jade?" "Hello?"

I watched as my mother looked at her phone with a terrified looked before she slipped it in her pocket and swore under her breath. She only swears when it's something serious. She claims she doesn't like to have a dirty mouth, that it messes with her image.

"Jade who? Ikenzie's mom?"

She shot a look at me. "Nobody."

I just sighed and shook my head as the rest of the ride was silent. I waited for her to ask me how my day was again, just to see if she really cared or if it was just something she did when I got in the car but she didn't ask again. I knew she wouldn't, so I don't know why I had hope that she would.

We finally made it to the house and I roughly got out with a slam of her door.

Once inside I ran upstairs grabbed my tennis racket and ball and ran back downstairs to her.

"You said we could play today." I said quietly as I walked into the den to see her sitting on the couch going through her phone.

She's been saying every day that we would play tennis with me. Every day she has a new excuse on why she can't play with me and today I don't want to hear any excuses. She's going to play with me whether she wants to or not.

"C'mon." I said as I walked up to her and dropped a racket right beside her as I held onto my own She looked at the racket and then looked back up at me with apologetic eyes. "Baby." She said as she sat up. She grabbed my sides and pulled me in front of her. "Tomorrow. I promise on everything this time that tomorrow you and I will go play tennis from dawn until dusk."

I just shook my head. "Do you enjoy doing this?"

She shook her head with confused eyes. "Enjoy doing what?"

"Enjoy lying to me, enjoy getting my hopes up for you to step all over them? Enjoy treating me like a little bastard like you don't care about anybody but you and daddy."

"Kaylee Oliver, watch your mouth for one, and two I care about you more than anything in the world. I don't mean to lie to you baby, it's just so much going on right now and-"

"-and you can't make even the slightest bit of time for me? For your daughter? Everything else is more important right?"

"Kaylee, it's not like that. Things are just….going on right now and you wouldn't understand-"

"-forget it. I get it. Whatever." I said as I turned around and started to walk away. I waited for her to stop me. I waited for her to tell me she's sorry and that she'll play. I waited for anything to make me not walk out of that door but it didn't come. She didn't try to stop me, she didn't try to apologize and the small anger that I held in me grew and grew with each breath that I took and something took over me, I guess I can blame it on anger, but in a split second with everything I had in me I gripped my tennis racket with two hands and spun around fast hitting my mother directly on the side of her face with it.

She yelled out in pain as she held her face with both her hands. "Kaylee what the hell!?" She yelled as she looked at her hands to make sure she wasn't bleeding in which she wasn't but her face just held a huge red mark.

I stood there, my breath heavy, hand on the tennis racket while the other balled into a fist. I should feel a little shame for what I've just done, but I don't, not the least bit. And I'm going to walk away and I'm going to pretend nothing happened. And that's what I did. I walked away without another word spoken between neither of us and the best thing about this is that….I don't care. I don't care about her pain at all.

She got what she deserved….
