Back For You

Ohh no

Katherine’s P.O.V:

            I had decided to go into the bathroom while Ryan yelled at Hunter into his mobile. His anger was beginning to scare me and I did not want to sit there and possibly stir more trouble up in any way. I didn’t want to anger Ryan any more than he is especially when he is a totally different person now.

            So here I was staring at the mirror in the bathroom questioning if I should stay here or not. I’ve been here for a couple days and in all honesty, I have enjoyed it. Aside from all drama, it’s been fun. I was willing to be kidnapped by my amnesic ex-boyfriend in hopes of bringing him back to normal. I’ve concluded that I am crazy. But I feel that my acts of craziness have changed Ryan’s new personality- or at least I hoped it’s changed him a bit.

            What are my parents thinking right now? I haven’t contacted them since the day I left California with Ryan and Hunter. How could I have forgotten to even bother to mention that I am well and alive? I had been so caught up with Ryan this whole time. Maybe that’s what love does to you; it makes you act in ways unimaginable.

            Because I had my phone on me, I took this opportunity to make a quick call to my mum to tell her everything is alright. Knowing my mother, she will probably be extremely angered at me for even going here without telling her in the first place. I am 18, so I am I legal adult here so what should it matter anyway?

            I take my phone out of my back pocket and dial her number. I remember agreeing with Ryan that I wouldn’t call my parents and tell them about what is happening, but it’s been days and they are probably worrying.

            Ring…ring…ring…The phone went as I paced back in forth in the bathroom hearing Ryan continuing to yell. Finally she answered and I heard my mom’s voice.

“Hello?” I hear my mum’s brittle’s voice answer.

“Mum it’s me Katherine!” I say. I was curious to why she sounded like that; possibly because it’s late at night.

“Katherine? Oh my god! Katherine?” My mother exclaims in shock.

“Yeah it’s me mum. Why do you sound different?”

“Katherine sweetie! You’re alive! Oh my god Katherine!” My mom sounded relieved.

“Yeah mum I am alive. Look what happened was…” I trailed off thinking if I should tell if what really happened or make something up.

“Where have you been Katherine? We thought you were abducted! Are you alright sweetie! Tell me where you are and I’ll come and get you. Oh my god I thought you were gone. Everyone has been worried sick including me! The police are questioning people and in search for you. I-”

“Why did you call the police mom?” I ask with my heart beating. What if they find out that Ryan kidnapped me? I suppose it’s not kidnap if you’re willing to go with that person.

“Katherine, you’ve been missing for five days what else was I supposed to do? I was scared to death! I had to file a missing person’s report. Where are you?”

“Mum everything is okay! I just went to Vegas with a few of my…friends! I just had to escape everything that was going on. The fact that Ryan is in a coma and that Zayn and I…broke up was all too much for me to handle.” I lie to her. I can’t have Ryan arrested over this.

“Katherine are you crazy? Why didn’t you inform your father and me that you were at Vegas?”

“Like I said mum, I was pretty emotional and had to run away from everything. Trust me I’m alright, safe, and everything is under control.” I reassured her with complete lies.

“Are you sure Kat?” My mother asks.

“Yes mum!” I say trying to sound as believable as I can. I really hope she couldn’t hear Ryan’s angry voice in the background.

            All of a sudden I hear bangs on the bathroom and Ryan’s voice calling for me. I mute my phone for a second and yell out to Ryan.

“Give me a second geez!” I call out to Ryan.

I go back to my phone, “Listen mum I have to go! I’ll make sure to call you soon okay! Bye!”

            I hang up the phone, slide it into my pocket, and open the bathroom door. I see a infuriated Ryan standing at the door clenching his phone tightly in his hands.

“What took you so long Kat?” Ryan asks.

“I’m a girl Ryan. Girls take forever in the bathroom alright. What’s happening Ryan? What’s Hunter done?” I ask him.

“Hunter has done something fucking stupid that’s what he’s done. We have to go before the hotel calls the cops on us.” Ryan says and turning away heading to the door.

            I don’t follow him. Instead I stand there and ask him again, “What has he done Ryan? What you just gave me was not an answer…”

“You know what he’s done? He’s cocky ass gambled all of our things for a couple thousand dollars in a game of poker. The guys he gambled with raided our hotel room and took every single thing including our money!” Ryan tells me in anger.

“Where’s Hunter himself?” I ask in calm tone. I wasn’t as angry as Ryan was because I didn’t have a whole lot to lose. After all, I did come here only with my cellphone.

            But I was beginning to worry. I was worried about what Ryan might do now that all of the money was gone and what will happen to our stay at Vegas.

“He has run off with whatever cash he has left to some motel at only God knows where. He isn’t telling me where he is! Shit he has the car and everything!” Ryan face palms himself.

“I can call my parents to get us.” I suggest then only realizing he’ll disagree to it after saying it.

“No! You do not call your parents! I’ll get in so much trouble for taking you here. We can find another way out of here!” Ryan says.

“What else are we going to do Ryan? They already filed me as a missing person because I’m here with you! You’re lucky I told them that everything is fine or else you would have been going to jail if they caught you!” I shout at him.

“Why did you call them in the first place Katherine?” Ryan asks madly.

“To assure them that I am okay and not in a situation anything like what we are now! Be happy I covered what you did up!”

“Why did I even let you come here with us? I should’ve just left in the middle of the road! What the hell was I thinking? You’ve caused all this to happen to me! You stupid bitch.” Ryan blames me.

            I can feel tears in my eyes as I glare at him upset. The whole reason I tolerated this trip was to help him get better. I’ve failed and now he’s saying that I am and was the problem for him.

            Without a word, I storm out the door past him. I hear him ask me where I was going. I didn’t answer because I honestly had no clue where I was going.
