you're my everything

Chapter 25

Kaitlin's POV

"M- Mia??" He stutters.

"Yeah!! It's Me!!! How you been?!" She says sitting down beside me and pushing me into the inside of the booth.

"I- I've been good" Ross says shooting me a look of sympathy.
But i just roll my eyes and look down at my phone while they talk.

I unlock my phone and click on Instagram.
I had over 50 notifications on my last picture.
A few were likes but most were comments.

I click on my picture and read the comments.
Almost all of them were mean.
Except for one that says

'Kaitlin. don't listen to them. they're just jealous'

'Why are they mad at me?' I think to myself.

I read the rest and still have no clue what's going on.
Then i get a new notification.

Someone had 'Took a photo of me'

I look at the picture.
It was of me. in a restaurant. This restaurant. I was with Ross and.. Mia!

I look up and see a group of girls snapping pics of me.

I look back down and read the caption.

'It looks like Kaitlin's getting a taste of her own medicine! Haha'

Then that's when I realized.
All of his so called 'fans' are mad at me because of the guy that i supposably 'liked'
How'd they find out about that?!?

I feel tears starting to form in my eyes.

"Ross. I have to go. I'll see you later" i say in a high, squeaky voice.

I hear Mia and some of the girls in the group snicker at me.

But i just shake my head, get out of the booth, and run outside into the what's now cold weather.

I exhale deeply and a puff of smoke like mist comes from my mouth.

After a moment of crying i feel my tears on my eyes freeze up.

I pull out my phone and call Riker and Chemaiyah.

"Hello?" Chemaiyah says answering.

"Hey" i say exhaling again and sniffling a little this time.
"It's me"

"Oh my gosh! McKenzie are you okay?!" She says.

"Yeah I'm fine" i say.

"No you're not. i hear you crying.

"WELL IF YOU HEARD ME CRYING COULDNT YOU ASSUME SOMETHINGS WRONG INSTEAD OF ASKING!!!" I scream into the phone.

The other end goes silent.

"I'm sorry. I'm just really upset" i say.

"It's okay" she says.

"Can you come pick me up and take me home?" I ask.

"Sure. where are you?" Chemaiyah asks.
"At a restaurant with Ross." I say.

"Okay. But why can't he take you home?" she says.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you on the way home" i say.

"Okay. be there in a sec. which diner again?" She asks.

I tell her my address.

"Okay see you soon"
"Bye" she says.

"Bye" i say and hanging up the phone.

I take a seat on a near by bench and wait for her to come pick me up.

After a few moments i see their family car pull up.

I stand up and walk slowly to the car.
Hoping Ross and Mia don't see me from the window.

"Hi" i say sniffling and opening the door.

"Hey hun" she says.

I get into the seat and buckle up.

"So what happened?" She says as she starts to drive away.

"Me and Ross got in an Argument over Mia, his ex but then we fixed things. so we went to breakfast.
But it turns out that Mia, his ex, is now a waitress there. so they ran into each other and they've been talking ever since.
She even pushed me aside like she knew what she was doing.
After that i just looked at my phone to keep my mind off of them but that didn't help either.
There's a bunch of nasty comments about me and a mean post by one of his fans" i say starting to cry again.

"What'd did they say?" She asks.

We were at a stop so i handed her my phone with the Instagram app opened.

"THATS HORRIBLE!!!" She says while scrolling through the comments.

"And look at the post" i say pointing to the notification.

She reads through it and her face becomes super red from anger.

She steps on the gas and speeds through the red light.

"Chemaiyah! What are you doing!!!!" I scream over the engine.

"We have to get you home and talk about this" she says.

Within minutes we're home and sitting on my couch.

We talk about everything while i cry.

After awhile I hear a car pull up.

I look out of the window and it was Ross.

I jump up and run to the bathroom.
Leaving a shocked expression on Chemaiyah's face.

I slam the door shut behind me and sit on the top of the toilet sit. Panting like a dog.

After I catch my breath i look around the bathroom.
Then i spot something.
Something that could make all the pain just go away and disappear.

I stand up, walk over to the counter, and pick up the razor.

I squint my eyes and tense my body up as i drop the razor on the ground to break it.

Ross' POV

"What was that?" I say looking at Chemaiyah.

"I don't know" she says.

We race up the stairs to where the sound was coming from.

"It came from the bathroom" I say.

"Kaitlin's in there" Chemaiyah says.

My face turns from curious to worry as I rush in the bathroom.

And there she was.
My own wife.

Bent over the sink cutting marks into her skin with a razor.

"KAITLIN!!!" I scream running over to her and grabbing her to pull her away.

She goes weak in my arms and drops the razor.

Her eyes were blood shot red and there was smeared mascara all over her face.
I could tell she had been crying.

"What happened!?!?!" I say holding her so she doesn't fall.

She looks over at Chemaiyah who was looking at her. then looks back to her original position and sighs.
Which makes me sigh.

I look around the room. Shaking my head.

'Why would she do this?'
