TW: Child abuse

Catras POV:

On my ride home I think about how little I really knew about Adora at this point. I knew our Past was still hurting her deeply but not to this degree. She was merciless with Alex and could have actually killed the idiot if i hadn't stopped her.

Back in my room I sit on the Bed, put my Hands on my head and sigh "why am i this useless? I had a whole month to notice she was suffering and i .... i didn't even know that much. 'Bestie' my ass...i need to make it up to her.....i can't let Adora know how useless i am"

I can hear Shadow Weavers words in my Head again:

"YOUR USELESS FURRY SHIT" hitting my Face over and over and over

"Your Parents should have killed you but they failed even at that" beating me with a Belt

"I could kill you right now and no one would ever punish me for it stupid Hybrid brood" dragging my Head under Water

"GET OUT! You can sleep in the Cellar tonight if you think you can mouth off to me you little Cunt" throwing me down the Stairs

I lay down in Bed, shivering at the Memories and cry myself to sleep

-----

The following Week was quiet. DT and I made up because they explained that they had the theory that Adora was Gay. I don't know why they would think like that but i just told them that they are wrong, not willing to lose a friend over this. They promised to never do anything like this again and that they owed me one because of it

Adora took a leave of absence and only texted us that she needed some space, which we all understood. We texted a few more times about her thinking of taking my offer for Therapie. The Police came by a day after everything happened and informed Adora that Alex was pressing charges on first degree assault and battery which was just ridiculous.

The Lawyer I organized for her already made sure she would be represented and that he would maybe even get the whole thing thrown out but it's too early to tell for now.

We had rearranged our Dinner plans of last saturday, to tomorrow's saturday and were talking about it on the Phone "So you are sure I shouldn't bring anything?"

"No need, i assure you" it felt so good to hear Adoras voice again "just bring your usual charming self and all will be good"

Ever since that day Adora, if she noticed it or not, has become a lot more flirty ....which was usually my job so it leaves me a bit flustered when she says things like that "I sh...shall do so" i say, knowing she was only joking

A yawn escapes me "sorry i'm keeping you up" Adora says

"nah you are not, it's...oh crap its already 2...damn. Time flies when you have fun hmm?"

"Haha yeah i know what you mean. We will see each other tomorrow. Gnight Catra"

"hmm night Adora"

But instead of a nice Night of sleep, allowing me to digest the events of this week, I woke up after a few hours, hearing screaming and shouting from downstairs.

My 'Parents' must have returned and from what i can hear, someone was caught cheating...again

I walk downstairs because i need something to drink and make sure i don't run right into them

"Oh shut up you idiot or you wake up 'that' thing" says my 'Mother' in her loving tone that i got used to lately. My 'Mother', Cecillia D'riluth, is a thin brunette with a small Face and refined features. She is the very Picture of a Trophy Wife.
