The One He Wanted

Secrets

A/N: So sorry for the late update (again) I've been sick and all I've wanted to do is binge watch The Flash, even though I've seen it all about 20 times. Anyway sorry that this chapter is so short, but it's just to establish a little bit of Sadie and Katherine's relationship. Anyways... OFF TO THE CHAPTER!!

———

I easily convinced my parents to let me go to Sadie's that night, especially considering it was the weekend. I tried to keep Xavier out of my thoughts as I packed some shorts and a t-shirt after school. My mom dropped me off at her house at about 5:15, where Sadie met me at the door, eagerly dragging me back to her room. I sat on the bed while she drilled me about Xavier.

"Caleb told me earlier that you were in the janitor's closet with Xavier! I never pegged you for that Kat. Why didn't you tell me?!" She practically yelled.

I bit my lip and tried to decide if I should tell her or not. It's not that I didn't believe Xavier's threat, it's just that I needed her help right now. So, I told her. Then she just sat there and looked at me.

"What the hell! Who does that!? You just wait until I get my hands on him-"

"Sadie wait! You can't tell him I told you!" I whispered harshly.

"Katherine you could go to the police with this! He could go to jail! Especially considering he's 18 and you're only 16."

"No, I can't. Even if he goes to jail, he'll just get back at me once he gets out. I can't turn him in Sadie. I just want to keep him away from me." I said quietly.

"If he kidnapped you, why would he just bring you back and risk the chance of you telling someone?" She asked, voicing my question from that morning.

"I don't know, but look." I pulled up my shirt and showed her the note he left on my stomach. She grimaced and shook her head slowly.

"Kat, he's not going to stop. You have to tell someone. You're terrified of him and it's not that hard to see."

I shook my head, I couldn't tell someone. My parents wouldn't be able to look at me again, all my family would look at me he way Sadie is looking at me now; like I'm broken or something. I would live my  life until the day he got out of jail, then I would be petrified again. It would be a never ending cycle of trying to avoid him.

"What about his parents? Do they not know what he's up to?" She asked.

"I guess not. He moved out of their house about a month or two ago, said he didn't want anything to do with his family."

"Katherine come on. Tell someone, if not for you, then for me. I don't want to see you go through this."

I didn't say anything for a minute. "Can we just, talk about something else?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah." She answered softly.
