Kelly sighed. She was at the vet again. Monte wasn't doing okay... She'd woken up and he was sprawled on the floor... And she still needed to hear from the vet. They were taking Monte into the room alone. They said they'll test him and give him an x-ray.
Kelly sat in the waiting chair, hands intertwined and in front of her face. She closed her eyes and started to pray, tapping her foot on the ground.
"Miss Kelly?" The assistant called.
"Yes?" Kelly asked, jumping off her seat.
"We're sorry to say, but your cat Monte has a tumour in his stomach," She said with sympathy.
"Whoa, wait, what? Is that even possible?" Kelly asked, franticly.
"Well yes, but it's quite rare to find in an animal, nonetheless a cat." The assistant pushed up her glasses. "I'm afraid... He won't make it."
Maryse rolled off her bed. She groaned, checking the time. 12:00 in the morning on a Sunday. Great.
"Damn," Maryse said, pulling herself up. She checked her cellphone with a yawn.
"2 Missed Calls." It read. Maryse pressed on it.
"Heey, Maryse." Kaitlyn's voice came from the other end. "I hope you like surprises, because I have one for you. I hope you don't have plans today, if you do, reschedule. Bye hun!"
"What the hell?" Maryse mumbled, pressing the second.
"Maryse, I'm sorry to call you so early." Kelly's frantic voice came from the other end. "I didn't know who else to call, and-and- Monte's in trouble! Call me when you can, I'm at the vet, the one by the mall!"
Maryse hopped up. She used the wash room, brushed her teeth, brushed her hair, pulled on jeans and a tank-top with a cardigan, She checked the time to see 2 in the afternoon. She cursed under her breath before grabbing her bag and keys. She opened the door, but she saw Dolph who's hand was on the doorbell, about to ring.
"What are you doing here?" Maryse asked, a little rude.
"Oh, didn't Kaitlyn tell you to clear your schedule? Or did you not understand?" Dolph shot back, glaring down at Maryse.
"Oh she told me, but that doesn't mean I have to listen." Maryse retorted.
Dolph smirked. "Don't get feisty, you don't look attractive when you do that."
Maryse rolled her eyes. "Move out of my way."
Dolph didn't budge.
"I said move, or I'll call the cops!" Maryse screamed, pushing him back.
"You're staying here until Kaitlyn gives you her surprise. You know, because she's nice enough to get you something after your actions lately?" Dolph asked, stepping forward. Maryse backed up into her house, and Dolph walked in, slamming the door behind him. "I don't want any trouble, I'm just waiting for Kaitlyn."
Kelly paced back and forth, running her hand through her hair. She checked the time, 3 in the afternoon. Why wasn't Maryse calling back? She should try again...
Kelly took out her phone, dialling Maryse's number.
"Hey, you've reached Maryse. I'm unavailable at the moment, so please leave me a message, and I'll get back to you. See ya." The voice mail said before it beeped.
Kelly swallowed back tears, trying to get words out of her tight throat.
"Maryse? I know you're unavailable right now... But... I need someone... I'm sorry, call me back- If you can..." Kelly hung up, letting her tears fall down her cheeks. She sat down in the waiting chair, elbows on her knees, and she cried.
"Hey, what do you have to eat, I'm starving!" Dolph complained.
"Screw you! Go eat in your own house." Maryse looked at Dolph with disgust. Dolph was lying on the couch watching TV, and making Maryse sit there with him.
Dolph was about to say something, but the doorbell cut him off. "That must be Kaitlyn's surprise..." Dolph said with a smirk.
Maryse shook her head at Dolph, giving him a hard glare before opening the door.
"Hey Maryse!" Kaitlyn said excitedly, hugging her. Behind Kaitlyn stood basically all the hottest teens Green Rose had to offer.
"Who the hell are these people?" Maryse asked, shoving Kaitlyn off her.
"Well I know your parents aren't home, so I thought it'd be cool to have a party!" Kaitlyn gave Maryse an evil smirk. Maryse's mouth dropped, and she couldn't even speak. "Now, I know it's Sunday, but I thought, what the hell! And invited all these people. Now move so we can get started!" Kaitlyn pushed aside Maryse, letting the crowd fill the house.
"Why?" Maryse asked, glaring at Kaitlyn when most the kids got in.
Kaitlyn turned to Maryse. "Listen, you wannabe, I'm doing you a damn favour, so you better appreciate it." Kaitlyn walked into the house. "This house is filled with the hottest guys and girls in our town! This is going to be the sickest party Green Rose ever had!"
The crowd cheered and hollered. Someone put on the music, and alcohol was being drawn out. Maryse groaned, pulling out her cell. She tried hard to listen to the message, then she put it away. She can't leave right now! What if something-
"Maryse, I never knew you could through a party like this!" Christian said, taking a sip of Cola.
"What, no beer tonight?" Maryse asked.
"Hey, I need to drive home." Christian pointed out. Maryse nodded in agreement.
"Hey! I need you to do me a favour." Maryse pulled Christian outside the house.
"Uhm, the party is inside..." Christian pointed out.
"Christian, I need you to go to the Vet near the mall," Maryse said, rushing to set the plan in motion.
Christian looked puzzled. "But why?"
"Just go!" Maryse ordered, slamming the door in his face. She sighed, hoping he could get there fast.
Kelly pulled her knees to her eyes. She was done crying, her tears were all out. She felt so exhausted. She hadn't eaten or anything, and she just wanted to sleep, but she had to stay awake to hear from the vet.
There was a chime, meaning a new costumer had arrived. Kelly didn't look up, it didn't matter who it was.
"Kelly?" The person asked. Kelly would know that voice anywhere. She looked up and saw Layla and Alicia.
"What do you want?" Kelly spit out, trying to hide the fact she felt horrible on the inside.
"I'm just here to give my little dog a check-up," Alicia explained.
"I guess you're here because you also need a check-up, you mutt!" Layla said, making the two burst in laughter.
"Miss El?" The secretary called. Layla and Alicia walked away with the other assistant and Veterinarian working there.
Kelly felt the tears coming again. She pulled her knees to her eyes, shaking in tears. Another costumer walked in. Kelly could tell the costumer hesitated, not knowing what to do, as if someone gave them instructions not very specific.
"Uhm, is that you Kelly?" The voice asked, finally noticing the shaking girl.
Kelly looked up, seeing Christian. She burst back into a fit of tears. Christian walked up to her and sat next to her, awkwardly rubbing her back.
"Miss Kelly?" The assistant asked, voice in so much sadness. Kelly got up, wiping her tears. "I hate when moments like these happen..." The nurse trailed off.
"What? What happened?" Kelly asked through a cracking voice.
"Monte didn't make it." The assistant let out, turning her back to Kelly as she started to walk back to her other patients.
"NO!" Kelly screamed in vain. "No! You're lying!" Kelly fell down, screaming and crying for Monte. "Please, let me see him! Please!"
Christian took her shoulders, trying to get her up.
"No! Monte! Monte!" Kelly screamed, and kicked. She got loose from Christian's hold, running to Monte's room. She felt as if everything was going in slow-motion, like her world had just shattered.
"Kelly!" Christian's called after her.
"Sorry Miss, you can not go in there!" Security said, fighting her off.
"That's my cat!" Kelly screamed, not being able to see straight.
"We'll bury him in your backyard in a tomorrow, but you can't see him now!" The security tried to explain.
Christian pulled Kelly back. "Come on Kelly, I'll take you home," He said in a calm voice.
"NO!" Kelly screamed, turning around to face Christian. "Not without MONTE!" She yelled at him. Christian jumped back. Kelly looked so broken, so exhausted. It hurt Christian to see his friend like that. It would've hurt anyone.
"No, no, no, no, no, no," Kelly chanted over and over again, falling to the floor.
"Kelly..." Christian took Kelly's arms, and looked her in the eyes. "Please."
Kelly didn't nod or fight, she let Christian pick her up and carry her to his car. She avoided eye contact the whole time. When they reached her house, Kelly got out of the car, slamming the door and running inside her house.
Christian sighed. "Damn Maryse," He muttered, pulling out of her large driveway.
