A Cat's worth (Catradora Modern AU) (COMPLETE!)

Chapter 3 : Past

TW: mentions of Child abuse

The Songs i post don't appear every time but aid in setting the mood of a chapter (i hope)

Catras POV:

Once in my room, I snapped into hostess mode, like I was conditioned to "You want anything to Drink? or Eat? Please feel right at home"

"dude chill its just me, no need to break out the Kaviar" Adora says, laughing witch gets me out of this 'mood'

When I was brought here, I had to learn a lot in a very short time and the result was almost always lacking or so they say.

"sorry...force of habit" I say, rubbing my neck embarrassed. "So tell me about what i missed in Adoras life after...well you know" i sit beside her on the couch

"not much happened after you left" she says and i cringe at the word 'left' "Lonnie and i got along better because i think she noticed how fucked up i was after .... i lost you" Adora says, apparently noticing my cringe.

"I was adopted when i was 12 in march, two years after you were gone, by two Women named Mara and Hope" she continues

"Two Women?" i ask

"yeah? why?"

"nothing...continue" i say hastily

"hmm so Mara and Hope were great and made me feel like a part of the Family right away, always asking me if I needed something but giving me space when I asked for it. I got lucky with them....until Hope died in a Car accident a year ago"

"shit..i'm sorry to hear. What happened?...if you don't mind me asking" i say

"drunk Driver. Mara was destroyed by it and things were...different after that but we still have each other at least" Adora says, melancholically "i only got 3 years with her but she was a great Person. Shortly after it happened, when we had the Funeral, we stayed behind and I remember, after a long silence, Mara whispered 'you were my light, Hope' before we left, i think that's when I realized just how deep their love was. Even now, Mara has days were she would just watch old Pictures or vids on her Smartphone of them both, just going from laughing to crying within seconds"

"Wow....screw the stereotype that gay people have a lot of partners and can't form relationships like 'normals' right?"

"haha yeah thats BS" Adora says laughing

"Since then, Mara had taken on a lot more work and i helped out whenever i could. Now enough about me, how about you?"

I really didn't want to tell Adora but she just opened up to me like we have not been apart for years so i thought it would be unfair if I held back now.

"After I was brought here I didn't talk much. When they told me to do something, i did it and that was about it" i start to giggle "once ...they asked me what i wanted for my 11th birthday and i told them 'i want Adora' because i couldn't think of anything else" Adora laughed so much she turned red in her Face

"wow, i can't believe you like me and that its that embarrassing for you"

"shut up, i don't like you, you blonde bimbo" i jump on her like i used to and try to make her stop laughing

After the short playfight i continue "in the beginning my 'Parents' still at least pretended to want me here but it didn't last long. I got enrolled in Mystacor Academie and made 1 friend...outside of it, more by accident and her insistence than my own will but yeah that was about it"

"tell me about her" Adora says, laying on the couch

"Her name is Scorpia, a Scorpion Hybrid and yes i see the irony of our names so don't start. She is the kind of Person you just can't hate even if you try ...actually my legal name now isn't even Catra, i just prefer it"
