After Detective Ross left, I felt relieved and slightly happed. Charges were pressed against Shad for rape, domestic violence, and violating his probation. He's being arrested once he wakes up from his "coma". The fight was just that aggressive. Anyways Chris is supposedly going to be released tomorrow morning. I'm excited yet nervous. We never really established we're together, it just happened. We both love eachother and we know there's no other person we'd want to be with. I'm just hoping everything works out for us. I know they'll be arguments and fights but I'm prepared for everything. I'm not that young naive little girl anymore. I think I've grown in so many ways.
I went upstairs and began walking to my room until I heard crying. It sounded like Cat so I stopped in my tracks completely, turning on my heels. I went to the guest room and twisted the knob. Of course she locked the door.
"Cat open the door!" I pleaded knocking on it roughly.
"Leave me alone..."
"Don't do this, please I'm trying to help-"
Suddenly the door swung open and she looked at me furiously.
"Stop trying to fucking help me Zonnique! I can't do this shit anymore. I'm tired of pretending everything is okay when my world is falling apart..." Cat broke down and turned away proceeding to pack her bags.
I blinked a few times and hurried over to her. She was fine over the last past days. What's the problem now?
"You're leaving?"
"Why do you care? I wasn't your real fucking friend! You used me because you didn't have anyone else. Now that your little boyfriend is back, you completely ignore my presence. Just leave me alone Zonnique" Cat snapped, aggressively throwing her clothes in the suitcase.
My mouth dropped in disbelief. If anything I've been nothing but generous to her and kind hearted. Okay most of my attention has been on this Chris situation but whatever.
"I didn't know you felt that way Cat.. I'm sorry" I said sincerely.
"I'm sorry I actually thought we were friends" she replied blandly before standing up straight.
"We are friends!" I yelled with my eyes watering up. I've been getting very emotional lately. Everything just triggers me off into tears.
She simply brushed past me carrying her belongings. I actually care about her enough to keep her here. I don't want Cat falling back to square one. She's made so much progress in rehab and I feel like I'm hurting her more. I don't mean to. I grabbed her wrist causing her to glare at me.
"Get off of me"
"You're not leaving. Where are you gonna go huh?"
"I'll find a shelter. At least I wouldn't have to deal with fake ass friends there right?" Cat said sarcastically.
"If I were a fake ass friend I would've allowed you to cut yourself, put yourself down, and go back to Toronto with your abusive parents. I was always there for you Catherine! Just like you were for me. Obviously there's a bigger reason why you're leaving!"
"Stop"
"No I'm not going to stop. Tell me why you're all of a sudden leaving?" I asked looking dead at her. I already had a feeling what the issue was but I wanted to hear it from her mouth.
Cat starred at me, not saying a word.The stare wasn't intense at all; just a blank look. I knew she wasn't going to tell me now so I'd just have to throw it out there.
"Are you still upset about what happened at rehab that night?" I asked quietly.
"It doesn't matter, it's not relevant anymore. I'm sick of talking about it.. I sound desperate" she muttered looking away.
