Chapter 53

The blackness that covered my mind finally turned to fog, allowing my eyes to open a bit.

I was in the middle of Kat's living room, I lift my arm- that is until I realize it is tied to a chair, along with my feet and the rest of my body.

I try to break free but it's useless, the rope on my arms burns my flesh.

I turn to my left and I see Kat, she's in the same position as me- except her eye has a purple ring around it.

"Kat!" I whisper urgently to her, god forbid she's dead.

"Kat!" I whisper a little louder.

I jump when I hear heels clanking, the sound gets louder until I see someone exit the kitchen.

"Well, well, hello sugar." an evil smile spreads across Aj's face.

"Are you the prick who knocked me out and tied us? Why's Kat's eye punctured? What do you want-"

"Oh shut up!" she groans.

Hers eyes slide over to Kat's unconscious body, she rolls her eyes. She lifts up her stilettos and pounds Kat's calf wit her cheap ass heels.

Kat juts awake, confusion is clear in he eyes. When she spots Aj, a fire starts in her eyes. Rage and disgust appears on her face, to say she is scowling would be an understatement. She looked like if she wasn't tied up she's wring her neck with no second thoughts.

"You! You did this, you fucking piece of shit!" she attempts to rip out of the rope, but just as me, she fails.

"Nice to see you join us Katrina." Aj smiles sweetly, her voice full of sinister.

"What's going on?!" I growl.

Aj stays focused on Kat's red face, "Care to tell?"

"Oh go fuck a cactus." Kat spits.

"Kat, what the hell is up?!" I yell.

How is Aj even here? Toni's is on the other side of town... and I doubt Kat and her are friends from way back.

Kat takes a deep breath and turns her head to me.

Before she can speak, Aj intersects. "Don't forget to mention that this is all your fault, Kitty."

"Fuck off." Kat spits.

She turns back to me, remorse fills her angry eyes.

Is this really her fault?

"I don't really know how to put this..." she purses her lips and states down at the floor.

"Let's start off like this, why did you kiss Jc?" I ask softly.

She huffs lightly.

"Revenge."

My eyebrows furrow together, revenge? What did I ever do?

"For what?" I say in shock.

"For kissing Connor!" she shouts.

"Who the hell told you that?" I say, a bit taken back.

"Some girl named Jordan, I got a call from her the night Connor confessed. After you left, she called and said that you kissed Connor and he was covering up your tracks by tell me Jordan kissed him. That's the only reason why you moved into that house, for Connor."

"Kat, I never ever would kiss Connor. He's like my brother, and you like him."

"How do I know you're not lying?" she narrows her eyes at me.

"Because I'm the one who told him to confess to you, I mean if I really did kiss him would I tell him to confess?"

She purses her lips, I could see the wheels in her head churning.

"I guess not..."

"Not to put a damper on this cute little connection moment, but Kat hurry on with the story." Aj says impatiently.

Kat rolls her eye, her anger level lowered a bit.

"Anyways, after I got the call I was beyond pissed. So, naturally, I went to the bar to drink away my sorrows. My fake ID got me by, but now looking back I wish I never went. At the bar I found Keaton, he had just broken up with his girlfriend so we were like 'hey why not hook-up' so we did. I do regret that, because after you left my house the day you found Keaton and I, I kicked him out." she looks down at her feet sadly.

She shakes her head and starts up the rest of the story.

"That night I decided to go to the mall and shop to get the image of you and Connor making out out of my head-" I take in a sharp breath "-and somehow ended up at Toni's. That's where I met Aj, she asked me why I was so blue. I was beyond drunk from the bar I had just come from next to the restaurant, so I told her everything. Turns out she knew you and was seeking revenge, she gave me the idea to kiss Jc to spite you."

I turn to Aj and glare at her, only if I wasn't tied up would she be severely stabbed. I'm not joking.

"After I kissed him, I was totally not prepared for him to practically break my arm. But he didn't, he tried to talk to me when he was driving me home but I would ignore him. After her dropped me off, I ran over to Toni's and talked to Aj. She told that we now have to wait till you come over then 'then the plan will be complete'.

"I had no idea what she meant, but today she came over to talk over some sort of plan, turns out to be the day you come over. When you walked in, she knocked you out with a bowl. I was beyond freaked out and started to yell at her and tell her to get out- that is until she punched me on the eye and knocked me out-" she turns to Aj and glowers at her "-and that's it."

Aj stands from the kitchen stool, "That was a lovely story time children."

I roll my eyes, "Wonderful, now what do you plan to do with us now."

Aj smiles deviously and climbs off the stool, her caked face inches from mine.

"I may not cut you into pieces, but I can torture you with your one weakness."

My eyes widen and that's when she knows she got me.

The only thing I can think of as Aj leaves the house is Jc.
