Broken Wings Only Fly If You Make Them

Chapter 3

Arabella's POV

I've only been with the guys for a day on the bus, still in the same town as expected considering they had another day off tomorrow. I feel like I'm missing something...

"SHIT!" I yelled, jumping up off of the couch, causing Ash to fall to the ground with a thud.

"What?!" Jinxx laughed.

I plopped onto the ground with my legs outstretched, "I forgot about Bartholomew!" I whimpered, exaggerating a pout.

"Babe, who's Bartholomew?"

"My cat!" I whined as I threw my head back like a child.

"Man, I feel you toilet buddy." Andy grumbled as he apparently also had a cat.

I scooted over to him on the floor and he stroked my hair as he played along with my false disappointment.

"KYLE! WE ARE REQUIRED TO RETRIEVE BARTHOLOMEW IMMEDIATELY!" I yelled to the driver.

"WHO THE FUCK IS THAT!" He laughed.

"YOU'LL SEE WHEN WE APPROACH MY RECENT AND REGRETTABLE  ABODE!"

We heard him laugh as the bus began to move. Whoop!

"Wait, how are we supposed to keep a cat on the bus?" Jake asked.

"Well, it'll sleep in my bunk, unless it likes CC more and the litter box can go....... In the......." I trailed off, not knowing were it would be placed.

"Bathroom?" Jinxx asked.

"NOOOO!" Andy and I yelled, shaking our heads as we knew that was the worst place to keep a litter box.

"I mean, unless you'd like the step in it every time you exited the shower?" Andy asked.

"Been there done that!" I cheered and we high fived.

We thought some more, then Andy snapped his fingers, "Far side of the couch! No one will see it, and if we use that odor control shit, you won't smell it either! BOOM! Knowledge! Dropped!" He yelled, making explosive hand gestures.

We bumped fists and made the explosion noise as we blew it up and the bus came to a stop.

"I'm coming for you Batholomew!" I yelled, running to the house.

The door was locked. "Awwwww!" I whined.

I didn't have a key anymore. Window it is.

I crawled through the living room window and ran to unlock the door for the guys and retreated to my room.

"Barty!" I cooed as I picked him up.

I put him carefully it his cat carrier that he despised so adamantly. I told Ash were his food was, and Andy saw the box of fresh litter and grabbed it. Jake picked up the few toys that were laying around, Jinxx found the small bag of treats, and CC sat on the floor like a vegetable.

Welp...

We quietly exited through the front door again and were off to see the wizard...the wonderful wizard of oz...

God, I need medical help...

"Your cat loves me more than you." CC mumbled as Bart purred to the scratching of his ears.

"No he doesn't, see watch." I smirked.

"Barty come 'ere." I cooed and patted the floor.

He meowed and jumped on me, purring and playing with my hand.
