Give Me Life

Rescinding

The night that Devlin left his father's house, she hadn't seen him...

She tried calling him on the phone, no answer. She would text him, no answer. Finally when she got through to him he told her: 'He needed to clear his head'.

And hung up on her.

Katrina didn't like that sentence, she heard it too many times from Christopher.

It's winter time, and Katrina realized that she didn't have any jackets, so she headed up to the 'World Market Place.' Hoping to buy a jacket and more items that she needed, she spotted Devlin gathering his belongings, he looked like a mess.. He wasn't shaved, he had on sweats and sandals, and wore a bright blue shirt, that caught her attention to begin with. She was going to approach him until Jasmine ran up to him holding a box full of depends. Devlin seemed happy, laughing about whatever she said... Katrina stopped what she was doing and left, forgetting about the jacket.

She was completely embarrassed.

Leaving his father's house gave her a reality check. She wanted to know why he was doing this to her? After everything that had happened, why leave her now? She was furious with him, if he chose to leave her and her child, he could make that decision. She wasn't going to chase after him either. To her, him crying at his dad's house was nothing but an act.

She was over it.

She decided that Devlin was just a selfish prick that needed to grow up. One minute he tell's her that she was his, and then the next he runs off, leaving her humiliated by his whole family. They all asked her why he left, and she didn't even know what to say to them...

Because she hasn't known him that well... That's why.

"Men are like this; Whenever you girl's are too tough for us we bail, I'm a grown man.. If I had gotten my ex-girl pregnant, I'd still be right there with her gay and all... I'm not a coward." Jared could tell Katrina was thinking too hard about the matter so he tried to soothe her. "Babygirl... You're a good woman, you don't need a man that wears sandals in the winter, that's just a plain 'hell no.' Don't lose hope sweetheart." Jared softly spoke, trying to grab the keys off the counter.

It had been three weeks, and she had been called back in to work by Mr. Seattle.

She didn't want to go.

"He's somewhere hiding out with Jasmine at her place. And they're probably laughing at me throwing roses everywhere and smoking weed... Freaking- Fucking-Dumb-Whores." Katrina huffed and kicked the grass as they were walking to Jared's car.

Jared cracked up. "You're adorable when you curse... And did you just call both of them whores?" He asked, glancing at her. She didn't say anything, he quickly closed his mouth when he saw she was serious.

Jared had never seen Katrina like this, she had been an angry bee; It was a different side of her, he loved it so much, she had spunk, and attitude, a brand new Katrina, that he would like to see more often. She was too nice to people, even to the rude ones, and it pained him to see her be sweet to them, he wished for once that she would be like how she is now... He knew it wasn't healthy though, and he wanted her to be happy and shy again like before.

"I love you dear.. Please don't be upset over this fuckin' loser." He said in a deep voice that Katrina recognized when he was pissed. She looked up at him in shock, and then realized that she needed to stop being so upset. She was being extremely negative around Jared for the couple of weeks they've been together and he was right, she shouldn't let Devlin get to her.

But it hurt...

Jared's father purchased a new car and gave Jared his car back. They had been on the go; Window shopping, then after a day of window shopping, buying what they needed, Jared also searched for jobs, he wanted to get one immediately just in case Katrina quit. He knew she wanted too, and he wanted her to be taken care of before she did. "Okay.. How about after your next doctor's appointment, we go get a slice of pizza, and watch good ole' fashioned TCM." Jared tried to keep her spirits up, but she wasn't in the mood, she wanted to crawl back in her bed and cry.
