Finn's POV
I walked home, thinking about Kat and what she told me. She seems so happy, though. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I lost my parents.
After I got home, I walked to my room, hoping nobody would bother me. I needed to get my thoughts straight. I've only known this girl for one day and she was already taking over my thoughts. How did she do it? How did she make it so I couldn't think of anything but the time we spent together? I missed her already. I gave in and texted her.
Hey. Are you feeling any better?
It was a while before she answered. I had time to take a shower, and edit some things for work.
Hey. I guess. I'm going to take a nap. Call you later?
She wasn't feeling any better. I knew it.
Yeah, sure. Sweet dreams xx
I put my phone down on the desk, pushing the chair back, with my feet up.
"Hey, mate. I'm going to get some coffee. You want something while I'm out?" Jack shouted across the house.
"Yeah, just get me whatever you're getting."
Jack left and I was left by myself. What was I supposed to do? Everything was so boring. I didn't want to get up, but I didn't want to lay down. I didn't want to do anything.
Kat's POV
*An hour ago*
Rebbecca's coming home soon. I still have so much to do. Jenn isn't home yet. I need to make up a story. Fuck.
"Honey, I'm home!"
Crap.
"Oh, hey. Jenn just went over to Sam's. You just missed her. She should be back in a few hours."
Remind me to text Jenn telling her that I just saved her ass.
"Okay. The house looks clean. But why isn't the laundry done? I thought I told you to get it all done."
She was getting mad. What was I supposed to do? I cleaned her room, her bathroom, her closet, the basement, tha atic, and the rest of th house. She was only gone for 24 hours. Did she really expect me to get everything done that soon?
"I-I'm sorry. I'll get right on that."
"No. Don't even bother. I'll just do it myself."
She threw her purse down on the floor, angrily. The thud made me jump. I knew where this was going. I'd only been here for two weeks, and I already knew when she was going to hit me. And I knew I had to take it.
"I'm sorry. Please don't worry about it. I can do it. I'll run a bath for you."
I headed upstairs to run a bubble bath and light some candles, just how she told me to the first day I was here. Apparently picking me up from the airport was stressful work.
"Bitch, get back here."
Shit. She was drunk. She only called be 'bitch' when she was drunk. Yeah, I already know these things. Pathetic, right?
I walked back, hoping she didn't hit me. And she didn't. She threw a garbage can, just missing me, hitting the door. She didn't know she missed until I let out a sigh of releif. "Oh fuck." She ran up to be and slapped me so hard, my lip peircing almost came out. My lip was bleeding, my face was red, and I couldn't help but cry. Crying only made it worse. "I'll give you a reason to cry. You worthless little shit. Your parents never loved you." She pushed me to the floor. I tried to get away, but she stepped on my hand. Hard.
"Speak of this to Jenn, and you're out of the house."
I just nodded. "Yes, ma'am." She walked off to her bathroom and didn't come down for the rest of the night.
My phone buzzed.
New Text
From Finn
Hey. Are you feeling any better?
Should I tell him? No. I don't need him to feel bad for me.
Hey. I guess. I'm going to take a nap. Call you later?
Yeah, I guess that would do. I sent the message and placed the phone on my bed. I quickly went to the bathroom and treated my cut. When I came back, I had a new text from Finn.
Yeah, sure. Sweet dreams xx
I hated not telling him. But somethings I just had to deal with on my own.
*two hours later* My face was getting better. I could cover the cut with makeup. I finished all the laundry and cleaned my room. My bed was just a mattress on the floor, while Jenn had a queen sized bed that she'd let me sleep in sometimes. We never told her mother. I knew she didn't like me, but getting me a mattress was a step in the right direction. When people were over, we had to hide it, though. She told everyone that I shared a bed with Jenn. I didn't mind much. Although, I did wish I had a bed of my own. Jenn walked in, not noticing my cut. Thank sweet baby jesus. "Hey, girl. Is mum home?" She walked straight into the room, putting her bag on her bed. "Yeah, I told her that she just missed you when she walked in. I said you'd just left for Sam's." "Oh, speaking of. I'm not going to say who, but one of my friends thin's you're a total hottie." She winked at me before turning to leave for the shower. Impossible. People don't like me. I'm just that weird girl with the black hair, blue eyes and piercings. I'm the girl people ignore. "Carry on my wayward son, There'll be peace when you are done, Lay your weiry head to rest, Don't you cry no more." My phone started ringing, of course I let it ring for a bit so I could hear my ringtone before I answered. It was Jack. "Hey, Jack. What's up?" I've made friends with Jenn's friends while they were over. They were all really cool. I enjoyed being around them, even if it was just for a short period of time. "Hey, was Finn with you last night?" "Yeah, why? Is something wrong?" I could hear him chuckle. Did I do something wrong? I was getting so nervous. What was I supposed to do? "No, no. Everything's fine, babe. He just seems a bit tired. I was wondering what on earth he could have been doing to make him so tired, but I think I know now." I was confused. What was he talking about? All we did was watch movies and talk. "Well, all we did was watch some movies and talk. We were up really late, though. Maybe that's why he's tired?" "Oh. Okay. I just thought maybe you guys... you know.." Why didn't he finish his sentence? OH! Oh god. No. Oh. No. "Oh! No no no no no." I could feel my face turning red. "Oh, so he isn't good enough for you? Does that mean I'm not good enough for you? Are you saying you're better than me?" This boy was really good at making me really uncomfortable. "N-no. Of course not." "I'm joking, babe. Chill. You want to hang out? "Uhm.. Okay. Just text me where and I'll meet you." A/N OOhhh some dramaaa lol Thank you for reading. I really appreciate it!
