Lost Without You

Chapter 24

Cathy's POV

Elliot just left the classroom as I'm trying to wipe away the tear stains.

"I just don't know who to believe anymore everyone's telling me Elliot is lying, but he's never done anything like this before, and I feel like I can trust him."

"Cathy as much as I hate to tell you this you can't, he's untrustworthy, self conceded, obsessive, and just horrible. We all thought we could trust him, but this just shows we can't."

The boy who had asked me if I was okay before turned around to me again.

"Cathy as much as you met think he's a good person, he's not, and I don't think you want him to be your only friend."

He's right I might need more friends, people I can trust.

"I'm sorry Charlie and Jean, I've been horrible to you because I thought I could trust him, I guess I've learned that I can't."

"Cathy it's not your fault, you just went with what you knew." Jean's trying to make me feel better.

"Well now what are you going to do."

As soon as Charlie mentioned it I had an idea.

"I got it."

After school I went and apologized to everyone, Melody, Zach, Gracelynn, Leo, and Max, I told them all my plan. Then I went to go meet Elliot, he started blabbing on about something as he wrapped his arm around me, I forced myself not to pull away.

As we walked passed everyone, Elliot threw them all cold hard glares, he looked at me and I did it too, but once Elliot looked away I gave them a small wink, hinting them to my plan.

Elliot's POV

Maybe I was just overthinking earlier in Algebra, because Cathy seems to be fine now, still giving them nasty glares as it didn't happen, there was probably something I missed in Algebra.

We walked around the band hall and near the back were nobody could see us and she turned to me with a warm smile, but I couldn't tell if it was real.

Leo's POV

"Come on guys!" I jumped in excitement as I waved my hand to the rest of them.

"Uh... Leo, where are we going?" Melody asked as I started walking.

"I want to see what she does to that asshole." They immediately all followed.

"That poor sucker doesn't know what's coming." Gracelynn sarcastically saids as we walk towards the band hall.

Once we saw them I pulled my phone out as everyone stood behind me and watched.

"Leo what are you doing?" Zach asked as I pulled up my camera.

"I think Cathy's going to want to see this and remember it."

We then all watched and listened quietly, we had to listen very carefully to hear there voices.

"Thank you Elliot, you've really helped me so much since I've come back, with the classes and people I should be hanging out with."

"It's no problem, really."

"I want to thank you again." She slowly started moving in as Elliot had closed his eyes and leaned in too.

Zach made gagging noises, and Gracelynn gasped and at the same time Melody starts talking really loud.

"WHAT THE HELL, she's going to kiss him!"

Jean quickly covered up both, Melody and Gracelynn's mouths as she knew what was coming and so did I.

Just before their lips touched with Elliot's eyes still closed, Cathy brought her knee back.

*BAM

Zach and Max both cringe, as Jean and I both start hysterically laughing quietly to ourselves and I hear Gracelynn whisper.

"You go Cathy!"

"He got what he deserved, bitch." Melody says right after her.

Elliot just stood there, with a shocked look on his face, also his face was filled with pain, as his knees crossed. Cathy had the greatest smirk on her face as she was pretending to wipe the dust off of her hands.

"I thought I could trust you, I really did, but I don't you thought this whole thing through manipulating me like that. I don't think I have to say this but, it's over Elliot." She walked away, Elliot had his jaw dropped, with no words coming out.

Jean's POV

Just as Leo hit the record button to end the video he saw us and wasn't happy, I think I could see the steam coming from his ears and he clenched his fists with anger, then he ran straight for us. I started to panic, not thinking about what I was about to do, then someone jumped out and stopped him, flipping Elliot over her shoulder, he landed on his feet and even more angrily stormed away, not looking and any of us or the girl again.

We all turned to the girl who was now standing there.

"Wow, your really good at Kung-Fu." I pointed out as she started to laugh.

"Thanks, but it's not Kung-Fu, it's Tae-Kwon-Doe, I saw what just happened and thought I could help." Then she stood there for a few seconds before she introduced herself.

"Oh, sorry please excuse my manners, I'm Shelby by the way, I'm new to this school, do think you we could be friends?"

We all nodded in agreement.

Cathy's POV

We all introduced ourselves to Shelby and said goodbye to each other for the day.

Wow, here's my chance to start over and possibly remember everything I always knew.
