Chapter Three
Unbreakable Bond
For f(x)= 2x + 2 and g(x)= x to the power of 2 - 4x +2, determine the exact value(s) for which f(x)=g(x)
Cat whimpered as she dropped her head on her book and scattered papers with writings of Algebra 2 problems and answers. "Someone please just flippin' kill me!" She squealed, wanting to cry. She suddenly sat up, regaining herself. "No, no, Cat, you can do this." She took deep breaths before picking up her pen. "We can handle this easily. This is cake for you." Her stomach growled. "Okay…not the best choice of words." And then her eyes widened. "Oh my god, I'm having a conversation with myself."
She shook the insanity off and went back to her work. Soon, she had the problem and answer.
f(x)= 2x + 2 and g(x)= x² – 4x + 2
f(x) = g(x)
2x + 2 = x² – 4x + 2
0 = x² – 6x + 0
0 = x(x – 6)
x = 0, x = 6
"HA!" Cat threw her pen down and smiled with pride. "I win!"
"SHUT UP!" Her best friend's voice said through the walls of the apartment.
Cat bit her lip. Oops. It's 1am, so Jade was probably asleep. She sighed and continued to the next problem until her phone vibrated. Beck.
-I can't sleep. You know why?-
Cat frowned, getting concerned. -Why?-
-Because I know you're awake and doing stupid homework!-
She giggled. -You know me so well.-
-Go to sleep, Kitten.-
-I only have a few problems left on my Algebra homework and then I have an online quiz to take. And THEN I'll go to bed-
-Fine. Text me when you're about to go to sleep, so then I can go back to bed.-
-Honey, don't stay up because of me.-
-You're my whole world, Cat. I can't stand to see you so tired every morning. Put the homework away and go to sleep.-
Cat sighed and put a hand to her head. She had a rough headache. Her eyelids were heavy and her body felt like it was going to collapse if it didn't get food or sleep. Food was out of the question right now, so sleep will have to do. She really needed to stop pushing herself like this. Sure, she wanted to be the best student and daughter to her proud parents, but at what price?
-Okay, Beck. I'm going to bed. I pinky promise.-
She turned her lamp light off and then walked to her twin size bed against one of the walls, putting her phone on its charger. Her phone vibrated.
-Alright then. I feel much better. I love you, girl. Sweet dreams.-
-I love you too, Beck. Don't let the bed bugs bite. :) MUAH!-
With that, Cat set her alarm clock on her phone and turned it on the highest ring. She laid back down, immediately drifting off to sleep the second her head touched the feather down pillow. Yup, she was tired.
…
Beck knocked on the door of the home of Cat and Jade. He was taking Cat to school today because it was raining. Jade didn't have a class till noon, so she was sleeping in. He heard vomiting noises and opened the door, seeing it unlocked. He rushed to the bathroom and saw his girlfriend kneeled over the toilet, puking everything out. "Cat!" He cried out as he went to her side and held her hair back for her and rubbed her back so she could focusing on stopping. To his surprise, she stopped right after. "Oh, baby." He whispered as she sat back. He helped her to her feet and she walked weakly to the sink, washing her mouth out. He flushed the toilet for her while she did that.
When she was done, she looked to Beck. "I'm sorry you had to see that." Cat said, looking like she was about to cry. "Um…do you hate me now?"
Beck was taken aback. "Hate you? Cat, you're sick, why would I hate you for being sick? Do you have the flu?" He put a hand on her forehead. "You're not warm."
Cat sighed in relief. She thought he caught her with her finger down her throat. He didn't though. Good timing. "No, don't worry. I'm not sick."
Suddenly, Beck's eyes widened. "Oh shit, don't tell me you're pregnant." He gulped, about ready to pass out. "Shit, I have to get a better job, Andre will kill me, and-"
Cat burst out laughing as she put her hands on either side of his shocked face, giving him a kiss. "No, Beck, I'm not pregnant. Trust me."
Beck let out a breath. "Thank god." Cat giggled and led him out of the bathroom. She grabbed her jacket and backpack. Beck went to her side. "Babe, you still want to go to school?"
Cat nodded. "Of course. I'll be alright." She pecked his lips again before she grabbed a granola bar and they left, hand in hand.
…
Cat seated herself on at an empty table in the silent part of the library, her favorite place to relax and concentrate on homework. It was a private area pretty much with only a few other tables surrounded by large shelves of books. Beck was in his 2nd class of the day, so she waited for him in here. He had been afraid to leave her by herself, just in case she was sick again, but she reassured him she felt fine. He promised that after he was released from class, they'd go to lunch. She tried to act excited about that, but she was really tired of putting her finger down her throat after every meal.
Suddenly someone sat across from her. She looked up and saw a very handsome boy there, giving her a million dollar smile. "Hey." He whispered.
Cat forced a smile. "Hi." And she looked around. There were plenty of empty tables…yet he sat at hers? Oh great…
"I'm Greg." He continued.
"Cat." She whispered back, trying to concentrate on reading a book for her literature class.
"I'm surprised a beautiful girl like you is here all by yourself." He said in a sly voice.
"I'm waiting until my overprotective boyfriend gets out of class." She strained the word "overprotective" to get this guy out of her face.
But of course, stupid idiots don't listen. "Well, your overprotective boyfriend isn't here, is he?" He leaned over and held her hand. "Let's get out of here and head back to my place."
"No." Cat glared. "Let me go and let me do my work."
He suddenly stood up and walked over to her side, putting his hands on her shoulders, rubbing them a bit. Cat cringed at the touch. It was rough, and nothing like Beck's gentle massages he gives her. "You need to relax, baby." He leaned down and whispered in her ear.
Cat whimpered a bit, wishing there were other people around, but that's what she gets for sitting in an isolated part of the library. "Stop please." She didn't want to make a scene, especially in the silent section. "Please stop touching me." She burst into silent tears as his hands wandered. "Stop." She wanted Beck. She needed Beck to hold her and keep her safe. Why was this happening to her? Beck's going to be heartbroken. "Beck…" She whispered, but the guy didn't hear her as he kissed her neck.
…
Beck was trying not to fall asleep in his world history class when he felt a ping in his heart. He only felt that when the love of his life was in trouble. He had a dreadful feeling Cat needed him…and fast. He packed his book in his bag, rushing out of the classroom, leaving everyone wondering what happened. His heart was racing as he rushed to the library, where his precious girlfriend said she would be. He knew she had a certain part of the building she liked to go where it gave her tons of thinking space and privacy.
He tried to act calm and casual entering the large building, smiling to the librarian and walking upstairs and into the usual spot where his girlfriend like to go. The feeling was getting worse and worse as every second passed by, hence why his walking turning into a small jog. Everyone watched him with curiosity, but he just wanted to get to Cat. Something was wrong…something was very wrong.
As he drew closer, he heard whimpering…Cat's tiny, cute whimpers of pain and fear. The ones he hates hearing. He walked into the area and saw Cat struggling against a much larger male, with her back against his, his arms wrapped around her, with one hand holding both her wrists and the other attempting to unbutton her jeans. Beck saw Cat putting up a silent fight. He was proud, but it was hidden by anger and rage.
He cleared his throat, getting the attention of the wicked guy and his distraught girlfriend. His fists clenched. "Get your eff-ing hands off her…now." He growled out. "I will kill you."
Greg immediately let Cat go, backing away. His hands were in the air in defense. "Yo, man, my bad."
Beck was breathing heavily, trying to control himself. He knew Cat would kick his butt if he made a scene in the library…no matter the seriousness of the situation. "If you touch her again, or even look at her, you're dead."
Greg nodded, filled with fear that Beck was going to attack him and he maneuvered around the angry boyfriend, rushing out.
Beck rushed to Cat, who took her seat back in her chair, but she was hiding her face in her hands, sobbing quietly. He kneeled down in front of her, pulling her chair out a bit so she could face him. "Oh, my girl." He said with a totally different tone. His anger was replaced with love and comfort. He took her hands into his, seeing her upset face. "You're okay now, babygirl. I'm here." He gave her hands a kiss. "I'll always be there for you."
Cat nodded, finally opening her eyes to look at him. "I know." Her voice cracked. She tried to wipe her tears with her sweatshirt sleeve as Beck took a seat right next to her. "Why aren't you in class?"
"Believe it or not, I felt something was wrong." Beck smiled. "See? We're made for each other. We have such a strong bond, it's unbelievable."
Cat giggled lightly. "I believe it though."
Beck leaned over with a grin, rubbing their noses together. "Me too." He gave her lips a quick kiss. "Cat…you are so beautiful. Guys everywhere want you to the point they corner you."
"I'm your damsel in distress and you're my hero that comes to save me every time, right?" Cat asked cutely, but seriously.
Beck chuckled, standing up, made her stand while he took her seat and she sat on his lap. He rested his chin on her shoulder. "You better believe and it's never going to change." He took in her perfume as Cat tried to finish her homework. He planned on just watched her work so he could continue holding her close to him, which was his favorite thing to do. "Mmm, Cat, you're always going to be so beautiful."
Cat tried to smile again. "Yeah…it's still so hard though."
"What's hard?"
Cat sighed. "To remain beautiful."
