Square One (Sequel to never say goodbye)

Chapter 14

Katrina's P.O.V.

"Why don't you just talk to them" Felix says. I was packing up all my stuff and he was the only other one in the room. They were waiting outside the door but i locked it.

"Just shut the fuck up!" I say almost screaming. "I can't fucking take another rejection" I say.

"But what if they don't reject you" he said.

"They will. Because that's what everyone does" I say. I grab my bags and walk out. I was about to get to the door.

"Katrina. Can we just show you something?" Mitch asks. I nod.

They line up and Jerome starts.

"When I was in high school, my dad abused my mother and I" Jerome says and rolled up his sleeve to show faded white lines.

"Last year I found out my fiancé of three years was cheating on me for two" Adam says and rolls up his sleeve to show white lines.

"Last year both my parents and brother died in a plane crash coming to visit me" Tyler says rolling up his sleeve revealing white lines.

"Last month I was diagnosed with depression" Mitch says rolling up his sleeve. His were not white, these were new.

"Guys" I say at a lost for words I ended up crying and just hugging all of them. "I'm sorry" I say. As I pull away.

"No I'm sorry" Tyler says "I shouldn't have thrown you in the pool" he said.

"So your not leaving?" Adam asks.

"Of course not" I say with smile.

We all go back to what we were doing. I remember when Mitch rolled up his sleeve that they were new.

"Mitch?" I say getting his attention.

"Ya?" He says

"Can I talk to you alone for a second?" I ask

"Uh-Ya sure" he says and we walk into our room. Right when we walk in I grab his arm and roll up his sleeve.

"These are not from last month" I say.

"It's not that easy to stop once you start" he says

"I know. I've been doing it since I was I. High School" I say. "I just want to help you stop"

"Why don't we make a deal?" He asks.

"Ok"

"I'll try to stop of you let me take you out to dinner"he says

"Yes" I say with a smile. I wrap my arms around his neck.

*later that evening*

Mitch and I drive down the street. When we get to the restaurant we sit in a booth next to the window across from each other. It was obvious the waitress was flirting with Mitch and when the bill came it had her number on it.

"Miss I'd just like the check not your number" Mitch said.

"Sweetie why don't you just take it and call me when you dump her" she says pointing to me.

"Why don't you get me your manager?" Mitch said. When the manager comes over Mitch explains the whole situation. The manager talks to the waitress and they start yelling at each other.

"You're fired!" The manager screams. The waitress storms over to Mitch and pushes him against the wall and starts furiously making out with him. I was waiting for him to push her off but when he didn't i stormed out.

He starts to run after me.

"Katrina wait!!" He says and grabs my wrist and pulls me to him. "You saw what happened she forced herself on to me"

"I'm not mad that you kissed her I'm mad because you didn't push her off. Even though you were on a date with me" I say crying.

"Look I'm sorry come on we'll drive home" he says. It starts to rain.

"I'd rather walk." I say and walk down the side walk. He runs back to the car and drives off.

I continue to walk when I see his car at a red light. He doesn't see me so I weave my way through to stopped cars and open the car door and sit. At this point I was soaking wet.

"Welcome back" he said smirking.

"Just fucking drive. And wipe that smirk off your face im still pissed." I say

When we get home everyone yells hey.

"So how was your date?" Adam asks

"Fuck off" I say and storm up to my room. I start to fix my make up when I hear yelling. I run downstairs and see Felix yelling at Mitch pinning him to the wall.

"You had one job not to hurt her!" Felix said. "What happened!"

"Felix!" I yell I pry him off Mitch. "Nothing happened. A flirty waitress kissed him but he pushed her off. I was only mad because it's started raining and my hair and makeup got messed up" I say. I grab mitches wrist and lead him up to our room. I noticed the red bleeding through his shirt when Felix graves him.

I take him to our bathroom. He sits and I roll up his sleeve. I see new cuts probably from a kitchen knife. I don't gasp. I just start to clean them up still angry. I put a wrap around them. I let go and start to wash up and put stuff back.

"Thank you"

"Shut up" I say

"Why?" He asks I'm still fixing my hair not making eye contact

"They would have gotten infected" I say

"No. Why did you save me from Felix" I stop and look to him

"Because I reevaluated. I realized that you kissing that waitress made it a little easier because we were never gonna be able to work. I don't do long distance relationships and beside I don't like you in that way" I say giggling.

"Oh. Well thanks"

"Don't mention it." I say. We both head to bed.

I find it hard to sleep.

"Mitch?" I ask.

"Yes" he says tiredly.

"I can't sleep" I say

"Come here" he says I walk over to him and get into his bed. I snuggle close to his bare chest and drift into a deep sleep feeling safe in his arms.
