lunch, caitlin clark

4 | the c word

september 4 | willow's bedroom | doing school work

There's a knock at my door before I tell Caitlin to come in. She normally doesn't ask, so I wonder what she needs. She makes her way in and I immediately drop my school stuff and stand up.

"Will, I need you." She barely gets the words out between breaths. There are tears streaming down her face and her eyes are red. I don't know what stoned her from coming to me sooner but she's been crying for a while.

"Come here. What's wrong Cait?"

"Connor and I broke up four months ago when I realized I didn't like him like that anymore, and he just texted me something absolutely horrendous."

I pull her down to sit by me on the bed and reach my hand out asking for her phone. Whatever he said had to be awful if she's crying. The fans and media have given her a thick skin.

What gives him the fucking right to text her out of nowhere and send her that. I bet he was drunk and lonely.

"Oh, honey. Don't listen to him. He admitted to being a bad person and can rot in hell for all I care."

"I don't even know why i'm crying. I guess I just thought he was better than that and to hear him call me that was awful. He was so great when we were together."

"But he really wasn't. Maybe in the moment he seemed good, but Caitlin. You can do so much better. Not now, and not later, but you're going to find the one that isn't a piece of shit."

"You're right. Thank you for talking to me. I knew that you'd make it better."

"Can I see your phone for one sec?" She warily hands it over to me and I don't waste a second before clicking his stupid ass name again.

connor
