Bring It Back [DISCONTINUED]

TWENTY FIVE

Cathy's POV

That 20 questions with Shawn was so intense. I couldn't stop myself from telling the truth that Allison now knows I had a boyfriend. I hope she thinks I was just lying though. I went to the tech room to check her out.

"Hey Alli." I say.

"Cathy, you didn't told us you had a boyfriend?!" She immediately talks back.

"Relax, I was lying the whole game. Of course I need to cover up my true life."

Allison nodded. "Right..."

I scanned through the monitors in front us to check what's happening around. Jim's with the pets, checking them up. Daniel's at the gym, Lexie might be in her her room and Chap's probably in his office.

"I'm going to take a call, I'll be outside." Allison says then hurriedly rushed out.

I sat on the chair, spinning it. I looked at Shawn's monitor. He was lying on the bed and even if the lights are out, I could make up he's eyes are still open. I bet he's processing my answers at the game also I think he's connecting the puzzle pieces together. He seems to be in deep thought when I look at him.

I tapped my fingers on the chair's armrest as I leaned back. Allison has not come back yet after 10 minutes. I wonder who she's talking to.

I quietly walked to the door and pressed my ear on the door to hear the conversation.

Don't worry sir. Mendes tried to escape earlier.

Wait "sir"?! Who the heck is she talking to and she's telling about Shawn's escape?

Copy. I'll be reporting again tomorrow.

What the-

I scurried back to the chair. It spun when I sat. Allison came in and saw spinning. At least she didn't caught me running back to the chair.

"I'm going back to my room now. See you in the morning." I stood up and pat her shoulder.

"Yeah, have a good sleep."

I grabbed my towel from my room and went to the bathroom. After showering, I brushed my teeth. I saw my reflection on the mirror. My blue hair was still looking cool. I went back to my room and wore my comfy pajamas.

This day was kinda exhausting but the past ones were worse. 

Before sleeping, I checked out my phone if I got new notification. There's only one message. I opened it.

From unknown: Cathy ;)

"Oh my god." I muttered. I opened the light to find Shawn's phone. I scanned on my desk to find it, now it looks like a tornado just happened. 

"No shit, no shit." I repeated as I can't find the phone that should've been her in my fucking room all day. 

I plop down the bed as I surrendered. I grabbed my phone and stare at the message. 

"I'm so dead, I'm so dead!" I cried. I curled up in a ball, hugging a pillow. 

2 hours passed, I was still in that position. The message brought back all the things that happened to us.

I am desperate. I always hoped he wouldn't get his phone but with my carelessness, he got it without me even knowing. Now I am scared. He could now do anything now he has his phone. Yes there might be no signal but he could blackmail me.

Squad K will notice there is something going on and I am not ready for their reactions.

After a while of over thinking, I got out of my room. I walked through the dark hallways and then I got to the chill room.

I heard a sniffle. I peeked my head on the wall and saw a silhouette. "Lexie?"

She stopped crying and looked up to me. "Oh hi Cathy."

I sat down beside her. "You couldn't sleep as well?" I asked.

"Mom phoned me earlier; she's mad again." Lexie always had this troublesome relationship with her mom. They never understood each other.

"I guess we're having dramas in our lives right now." I said.

We just sat there for a while. Silence and darkness are with us.

"How about you Cathy? What's happening?" She asks.

"I-I don't wanna talk about it." 

She puts her hand on my shoulder. "It's ok. You can tell me the truth when you're ready. And I promise I won't tell anyone."

"What do you mean?"

Lexie places her hand on my shoulder. It might be dark but I can sense she's giving me a look. "Like I said, just tell me when you're ready."

Later that night, I went back to bed, still feeling uncomfortable. I never picked up my phone, it was just there on the floor. I was restless but managed to sleep before morning broke.
