Cassidy's pov:
Oh god, it had to be him. Your probably wondering who I'm talking about so I'll introduce you. Remember how I happen to be an underground champion. Well not everyone can except the fact that they lost, and Sophia's brother so happens to be one of them. Here let's rewind.
~5 months ago~
He swung at my face but I ducked under and punched him right in the nose. He stumbled back and clenched his bleeding nose. I smirked knowing I was going to win. I mean he's a decent fighter, but definitely not able to beat me. We circled each other for a while until I kicked him right in the leg and he fell on his stomach. While he was down on his stomach I straddled his back and moved his arm behind his back pinning him. I kept on moving his arm upward to make him tap out.
I was declared the winner and went to claim my money which was a lot I may add. I could tell that my opponent was furious, I mean not everyone's a good sport. I walked off to talk to Casper we did the usual after every fight and planned to go for something to eat. I went to go walk to the changing room when "blaze" the guy I just beat storms over to me.
" I want a rematch" he argued
Like geez can't he just admit that he lost. " Why so you can lose again," I said. He was boiling he went to go punch me but I grabbed his arm and twisted it. He screamed in pain I yelled for security and they took him away. Heh, I have the privilege. Anyway back to the present.Back to the present
I stared as he walked towards us. His sister greeted him saying, " what's up retard". He rolled his eyes," nothing who's this", his eyes scanned me. " oh yeah this is Cassidy, Cassidy this is colton. Don't get too friendly were leaving after I grab our skateboards", Sophia stated. " so you're taking my skateboard", he said bothered. " oh don't be a baby you can share", Sophie argued.
Sophie went to get the skateboards while I waited awkwardly with her brother. He just stood there and stared at me. " why do you wear a hood?" He commented. I just ignored him cause I didn't want to talk to him. "um hello I'm talking to you" he said annoyed. I just answered with an " I know I just don't want to talk to you".
He just kept on staring at me, like bro you're creeping me out. " Do I know you?" He questioned. "No", I said a little too fast. " well I'm pretty sure-". "sorry I took so long I couldn't find a car charger", she stopped and looked at us. " sorry I left you here with him". "It's fine, but we should get going", I said turning to leave. I could feel a gaze burning into my head as well left.
~~~after the skate park~~~
I entered the house relieved from the cold, as I walked here. Sophia offered to drive me but I don't want them to know where I live. I start walking upstairs to put my bag away. As I enter my room I see tiger, the orange cat on my bed again. I'm guessing he's hungry but how does he get up here every time.
I go to my closet to take a Benadryl just in case. I'm not severely allergic to cats but I'm allergic enough to have to take a Benadryl. I walk up slowly to the bed and sit on it," hey little guy are you hungry?". He meowed at me and rubbed his face against my arm purring. I walked to my closet to grab out the canned cat food out of the hidden fridge. I then headed downstairs to grab two bowls for tiger and filled one up with water.
I didn't expect my father and Brianna to be back today but I still don't know when they're coming back. Don't get me wrong I'm relieved that there gone, I just wonder what there planning. I walked upstairs humming a little tune.
I give tiger the water bowl and fill up his other bowl with cat food. As soon as I set them down he went straight for it. He must have been really hungry and thirsty. I'm guessing he's a stray since he has no collar and is so skinny and dehydrated.
I went to my closet and grabbed out the old guitar that my mom got me when I was little. It was my size because when I was little my mom got it too big but said I would grow Into it. I guess she was right because now this is one of my prized possessions. I started to play The a Team by Ed Sheeran as I strummed the melody I began to sing the lyrics.
White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange menAnd they say
She's in the class A Team
She's stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately, her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to her'Cause she's just under the upper-hand
And goes mad for a couple of grams
And she doesn't want to go outside tonight
'Cause in a pipe, she'll fly to the motherland
And sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
Angels to fly
Angels to fly, mmI felt tiger rub up against me I smiled as I continued to play the song.
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed and dry throat
Call girl, no phoneThey say
She's in the class A Team
She's stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately, her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us'Cause she's just under the upper-hand
And goes mad for a couple of grams
And she doesn't want to go outside tonight
'Cause in the pipe, she'll fly to the motherland
And sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
Angels to flyNow an angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eyes and hoping for a better life
This time, now we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
Just straight down the line, oh, mmNow they say
She's in the class A Team
She's stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately, her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to usWhen we're all under the upper-hand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
'Cause in the pipe we'll fly to the motherland
And sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
Angels to fly
Angels to fly
Fly, fly
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Angels to dieAs I finished I noticed tiger curled on my side. He was so cute I wonder how he became a stray. Adorable, I looked at him I thought of something, what if he needs to use the bathroom? I can't let him pee or poop on the floor. But I also don't want to go to the store.
~~~at the store ~~~
You're probably wondering what happened to not wanting to go to the store. Well, I put some thought into and I don't like cleaning up cat pee and poop off carpet. So here I am.
Hopefully, he knows how to use a cat litter box. I grab the cat litter box and decide to also grab a cat bed so that maybe just maybe he'll sleep there. And if you haven't gotten the memo I'm keeping the cat.
I'll probably have to take the cat to the vet. I pay for the stuff and leave. I got home and went up to my room when I looked around and found him still cuddled up on the bed. I began setting up the cat box.
I had to wake up tiger to show him where the cat litter box is. He sniffed it and then went pee in it. I guess he does know how to use it. I grabbed new clothes to put on and went to bed with tiger cuddled up next to me. And for once I actually got a good night's sleep.
A/n: look who's back, back again. Ok sorry everyone for not updating. And also thank you for how many people have viewed and added this too there lists.
