Control

Chapter. 8

Kats Pov

It had been a few hours since this morning and the small get together was in full swing in my backyard. me and Zoe is sitting on the patio couch while my mom and Josh's play spades at the table next to us.

"Just so you know Chris and I ran into joshes dad earlier and he ratted on you. I told Chris not to mention it to Josh and to let yall handle it. I dent know if you told him yet or not, but you should definitely say something sooner rather than later if you haven't." Zoe states

" I have not said anything to him my mom knows, and she said she would let his mom handle it when she tells her. I was there for the hurt he put them through so it not my place to get involved I told him not to contact me again. I want what is best for him and I am protecting him. he just got out and you know that. the only reason he was in to begin with was because his dad. I'm not keeping it a secret just everything been so complicated that we haven't had a moment to actually talk about it." I say, looking over at josh laughing with Chris at the grill.

"I understand that. what's going on between me and Chris is complicated so I don't want him to feel like I'm taking side but he knows I'm always on your side" Zoe says.

"I'm glad that means when I hurt him for hurting you I'm not wrong. I want to get involved but just like me and josh I can't get I involved. Just say the word and I got you." I say. we click our classes together and keep talking. Zoe and I join my mom Mrs. Lewis in a game of spades.

Josh POV

We were in Kat's backyard grilling when Chris pulls me to the side.

"I swore to Zoe that I wasn't going to tell you, I was going to tell you later, but you need to know that Zoe and I see your dad earlier today when we were getting some drinks for tonight. He claims he has been trying to contact you and that he called kat." he says.

"That can't be true because Katrina would have told me that he reached out. Thanks for telling me I have something I need to handle. Can you watch the grill for me?" I walk over to the spades table.

"Excuse me can I borrow Katrina for a moment." I speak. I do not give anyone a moment to speaks before I pick her and throw her over my shoulder.

"Josh what the fuck is your problem!" she screams at me when we get in the house.

"How long?" I ask and she looks confused.

"How long what?" she asks.

"How long has my dad been trying to get in touch with me." I ask and she says nothing.

-------------------Trigger warning -------------------

"HOW LONG KATRINA?" I ask to raise my voice. I grab her arm. Which I know instantly was a mistake. I hear the door open right as a hand connects with my cheek.

"Firstly, the next time your raise your voice at me have all the facts before making me the bad guy. He only called me once and that was Monday I was going to tell you but considering that I have not exactly had the time to say anything to you it would have been ideal to say that before jacking me out of my seat and making false accusations at me. You are making it seem like it has been months, next time give me time to answer before fucking grabbing on me." I say. Our mothers' steps in between us.

"Josh she was only looking out for you. she told her mom and her mom told me. i was going to speak to you about it later on." his mom says.

"So everyone here knew about my dad trying to get in touch and no one bothered to say anything this is bullshit and yall know it." he says.

"They only found out today. Don't go around blaming people for anything this is the reason we hadn't said anything. We want what's best for you instead of having a civilized conversation with us you decide to flip. If that's how you feel you can leave and go home. But your not going too sit here and play a victim like you 16 Josh your in your mid 20's grow the fuck. Until then get the fuck out of my house I'm over this bullshit of a night." Kat says going in her room and closing the door.

"Fuck this. "I grab my keys and walk out slamming the door behind me. I get in my car and go home.

Now I'm wondering if that went to far

Authors note

Some people may think I did to much in this chapter. I definitely don't condone domestic violence in any way. He put his hands on her in an aggressive way there is a a difference between playing and real and that was real.
