Chapter Twelve
Danny?
Cat ran into Mr. Campbell's classroom, thanking God she wasn't late since she still had 5 minutes left till class started. She saw her friends weren't there yet, so she went to sit down in her normal spots. She had her homework and book out, getting ready for class when someone sat in the usual seat that was Jade's. Cat looked over and saw her worst nightmare. She groaned. "Josh, go away. For the love of God, just leave me alone." She whined, getting sick and tired of his possessiveness of her when he obviously couldn't have her.
Instead of leaving, he put an arm over her chair. "Mr. Beck is still in the hospital, babe. We can hit it off where we left it the other day."
Cat rolled her eyes. "Not happening."
"Here, we'll make it quick." He leaned towards her. "We can go back to my place after class."
"Tempting, but I'm going to pass." Cat told him as she wished someone would come in and kick him away from her.
Suddenly, Josh put his other hand on her chin, gripping it, and making her face him. "One of these days, I'm going to get tired of your sassiness. If you just eff-ing sleep with me, I'll leave you the hell alone."
"How about you leave her the hell alone NOW instead of her sleeping with you, huh?" Jade's vicious voice was heard behind Cat.
Josh glared. "Back off, West."
"Josh, get out of my seat before I cut you with my brand new scissors." She took the said scissors out of her bag. "I know how to use these quite well."
Josh actually looked a bit intimidated and gave Cat a quick kiss on the neck before rushing off down the row.
Cat sighed as Jade sat down. "I'm so sick of him touching me when I seriously don't want his filthiness on me."
"I'm sick of having to go buy new jeans." Jade mumbled. "So lets go shopping later."
"Why do you have to buy new jeans?" Cat asked.
Jade sighed. "I'm officially a size 4 now…"
Cat bit her lip. "Jade…you still look like a size 2!"
"Liar." Jade pouted, leaning back in her seat.
Suddenly someone took a seat on the other side of Cat. "Sup, Lil' Red?" Andre asked with a smile. He frowned over her head. "West."
"Harris." Jade sneered.
"Witch."
"Sissy."
"Murderer."
Jade rolled her eyes. "Let it go, Andre. Jeez, it wasn't anything yet."
"It had a heart, spinal cord, and a head." Andre said, in pain again. "He or she was a human…alive." His eyes began to water up, but he took a deep breath, hiding them. "So, Cat, how's Beck?"
Cat stared at him with sympathy. "He's getting better. He woke up last night, as I told you, and this morning, he was still in pain, but he's going to heal. The doctor said he'll make a full recovery, as I told you over text." She forced a smile. "Everything's happy again."
Andre and Jade didn't think everything was happy, since Cat still refused to talk anymore about what happened to her, but she wasn't budging, so everyone was leaving it alone.
…
As Cat walked into her literature class, a bit early so it was almost empty, she took a seat in the middle, like her other class with the gang. Unfortunately, it was only her this time. She shrugged it off. Josh wasn't in this class either, so she felt a bit safer. She took out her phone from her pocket, seeing a text from Beck. She smiled a little. She was so relieved and thankful he was alive and okay. He took quite the beating from that gang attack, but she remembered that Beck is the strongest man alive to her, so he can handle anything.
-Hi, baby. How was class?-
She texted back quickly as more students were coming in. –It was boring, as usual. How are you feeling? Any better than this morning?-
-Well, they have me just about high on drugs and I've been asleep since you left. I hope I wasn't snoring. Do I snore?-
Cat silently giggled. –Only a little. Cute little ones.-
-Great…just flippin' great…-
-Hehe.-
-So are you coming back after your last class?-
Cat was about to answer when someone stood before her. She looked up and narrowed her eyes, then gasped. "D-Danny?" She said in a breathless tone.
Daniel Simmons, Cat's ex-boyfriend that made out with Tori in high school, stood before her with a smile. "Cat. I thought I recognized you."
"How'd you get in this school?" Cat asked, surprised.
"Soccer team." He simply answered. "So how have you been?"
"I've been fine…why haven't I seen you around?" Cat asked with suspicion.
"I've been on low status, you know?" He said, taking a seat next to her. "How have you been?"
Cat was still at loss for words, but shrugged it off. Over 2000 people attended this college and each class was over 100-200 students full. Cat hardly knew a few people. "I've been fine." Cat hid her bandaged hands. "How about you?"
"Great." He smiled. "Hey, how about we do some catching up? Dinner tonight? My treat."
Cat shook her head. "That's not a good idea, Daniel. My boyfriend, Beck, wouldn't appreciate that. He's very protective of me…and he hates you ever since you cheated on me and broke my heart." She glared. "If he even knew you were attending school here and talking to me, he'd go into his macho man mode and tell you off. So let's pretend this little conversation never happened, okay?" With that said, she was satisfied and turned back to the front.
Daniel chuckled. "I'm not scared of Beck." He said with a hint of annoyance. "Where is Beck? Oh, wait, that's right…he's stuck in the hospital."
Cat glared. "Don't bother me, Daniel. I won't think twice of telling Beck, who'd take care of you when he gets out."
The professor suddenly came in, announcing that class has started. Cat groaned as Danny didn't leave his seat next to her. As the lecture continued, Cat had no choice, but sit there while Danny rubbed her inner thigh. She obviously wasn't going to make a scene in the middle of class, because that'd be completely embarrassing. She wasn't going to leave class, because she is no pushover. She wasn't going to let her ex-boyfriend ruin her success in being the perfect student…even though he was touching her in places only Beck was allowed to touch.
Once class was released, Cat slapped Daniel's hand off and stuffed her things in her bag, before stepping on his foot harshly as she walked around him. Sadly, he quickly followed after her. She walked a bit faster than usual down the hall and exited the building, catching her breath. She decided just to go straight to her next class and forget eating lunch. Beck would understand that she didn't want to be cornered by Daniel in the stupid cafeteria.
She couldn't wait to tell Beck. She hated Danny so much. She's never been cheated on before, except for him. Cheating was something Cat would never forgive. Leaning against the wall, next to the closed door of her next class, she slid down to her bottom and curled up, taking her phone out to text Beck. –Beck, you won't believe who goes to school here and we didn't even know it.-
-Who, babygirl?-
-You remember Danny?-
-The guy that kissed Tori when he was dating you?-
-That's the one.-
-Please tell me he didn't bother you.-
-He was touching me all through class, Beck. I feel so violated. I hate him so much, so I don't mind telling you this right away.-
-I swear to god, when I get out of this damn hospital, I'm hunting his sorry ass down!-
-Yay! :) I'm glad. Can I watch?-
-Dang, girl, you really hate him.-
-More than anything…I miss you here at school, Beck. I don't feel safe.-
-Give me a few days, baby. I'll be out of here on Friday and I can go back to school on Monday. It's Wednesday, so you won't have to wait that long. Try to hang in there for me. I believe in you, Cat. You're strong and stubborn. :) I may not be there to protect and take care of you for now, but I'm going to let you handle things until I get back. Are you eating right now?-
-No. I didn't want to.-
-CAT!-
-I'm not hungry. I lost my appetite because of Danny.-
-Aw, dammit, Cat…after class, go eat for me. Please.-
-We'll see. How about I bring us some food when I head back over to the hospital later?-
-That's 3 hours away! You can't starve yourself for that long!-
-I can handle it, baby boy. I'm going to let you rest now, okay? I just wanted to let you know about Danny.-
-Okay…and I really do appreciate you telling me what he did. Thank you. I love you, Kitten.-
-I love you more!-
Cat put her phone away and dropped her head in her hands. She just didn't get it…why was she always such a damsel in distress? It's not like she could fight back to the guys that take advantage of her, since she doesn't know how to fight and she's too tiny to do any damage. There would be no point in resisting them if Beck or Andre, or even Jade, wasn't around to rescue her. She thought about taking self-defense classes…she wished she could've done that sooner…maybe then she could've saved Beck from getting hurt that night.
It was getting to be too much for her. She was overwhelmed and feeling sick to her stomach. Everything was so wrong right now and nothing felt right. She had to look over her shoulder for the guys that harass her, she feels responsible for Beck's attack, and she felt like a dirty slut for what the gang leader made her do to him…she grabbed her bag and stood up, rushing to the nearest bathroom. She had no control over anything around her. She needed to feel like she could do something on her own…
So she entered a stall, dropping her bag, and leaned over the toilet bowl on her knees, sticking a finger down her throat to gag and puke up whatever she ate the day before. She held her hair back with one hand and the other gripping the sides of the toilet. Beck's saddened eyes went through her mind and she whimpered, doing it again. If he found out she did this again, he'd get those eyes again, which hurt so much to know that SHE caused the pain.
"I'm so stupid." She sobbed out, gagging herself again. "I'm useless and have no worth or strength whatsoever." She said between amounts of vomit coming out. "I'm a hopeless idiot, who does nothing, but disappoint everyone I love and everyone around me too." She continued to talk to herself. "I didn't deserve that award." She coughed. She suddenly saw droplets of blood dripping into the toilet, so she stopped, flushing it after cleaning her mouth with a piece of toilet paper. Cat walked to the sink, washing her mouth out and then looked up to see her reflection. She cried and shook her head at herself. "Fat…ugly…stupid…fake." She mumbled to herself. "I hate myself."
PREVIEW for Chapter 13: In A Moment, Everything Can Change
Daniel laughed. "What are you going to do to stop me? You're crippled. I can kick you and the fight would be over."
Beck saw Daniel wasn't going to release Cat and leave, so he leaned against the recliner, putting his cane down. "I'm going to try though." Beck growled out.
Danny shrugged. "Fine." He harshly threw Cat to the side, making her slam on the wood floor they had just put in.
Beck heard Cat whimper in pain from the fall. He clenched his fists. "Stop hurting her."
"Let's get this over with, Oliver." Daniel said, pulling up his sleeves.
Cat grabbed Danny's leg. "No, he's not in shape to fight!"
Danny shook her off by kicking her away. "Stay out of this. I'll deal with you later."
Cat moaned at the impact.
