Friends with the Fire (Chris Motionless)

25.

Katie's POV

Two weeks later

-

Chris went back home, he went home earlier than expected. I haven't talked to him since the day before he left.

We got into a really bad fight. We broke up. I threw some punches and the cops were called.

Basically, what started the fight was- he was still with his 'ex' girlfriend. The one he told me about that was making his life a living hell.

Yeah, he was still with her. Even though, he told me that they broke up a while ago.

So glad that he thought it'd be okay to lie to me. He wouldn't want me lying to him. What makes him think that I would be okay with him lying to me?

He also needs a fucking lock on his phone because he went to the bathroom and I saw a text from a girl named 'Carlie' come up on his phone.

Me. Being the jealous bitch that I am, opened it up and saw their conversation. It was sexual.

There were nudes. From and to her.

When he came out of the bathroom. I threw his phone at him.

He wanted to know why I did that. I told him to take his phone with him the next time he goes to the bathroom, put a lock on his phone and delete his texts if he wanted to cheat on me.

He was confused and wanted to know where I got the idea that he was cheating on me.

I told him that I knew about Carlie and ran out the door in tears.

He tried to deny it but I took his phone and showed him the texts.

Then he preceded to yell at me for invading his privacy. I had enough by that point and punched him in the face.

I screamed at him about how he should've been faithful then he wouldn't have to worry about his phone being looked through.

Then he told me that he didn't love me and that he just got back with me because of the kid.

I started to cry some more and punched him again.

Then the cops showed up. Apparently the people in the next room over, heard us fighting and was worried about us. So they called the cops.

I got arrested and spent the night in jail for domestic violence.

Chris got told that it'd be best for him to go back to Scranton to avoid any further disputes.

Chris didn't press charges. But I did get fined like five hundred dollars for it.

Because of my arrest, I got fired!

And I'll tell you this much, this happened nearly a week ago and I'm still crying over it.

All my mom keeps saying is that she told me so.

Dylan and Randy are trying to be supportive. They hate seeing me like this.

I mean, everybody could tell that I was really into Chris.

I figured he was the same person that he was when he was sixteen, but I was wrong.

Everybody changes. He changed for worse. He didn't even have the common courtesy to tell me that he was with another girl when we started talking again.

"Katelyn! Someone sent you flowers!" My mom yelled. I got up off my bed and walked to the front door. A guy wearing sporty yet functional khakis and a black polo shirt was holding a clipboard and a vase full of various flowers.
