Lost In Love

The past

Cat Pov

I woke up to the sound of yelling. I started to  panic because I thought it was my brother. I soon realized I wasn't in my bed or house. I was in Brooklyn's bed. I walked down stairs towards the yelling to find out the problem. When I got to the hallways I stopped for a minute to listen. I saw a girl with a messy bun, yellow shirt and white jeans on. She looked angry. After a while she turned her head in my direction and then got up. I was kinda scared but she just walked past me. I walked to where the girl was previously sitting and took a seat. "Who was that" i spoke a little quietly. "That was Jasmine, Nico's mom" she sighed. "I made breakfast if you want some" "uhh yea sure, thank you" she handed me a plate of food. Jasmine had came down to tell Brooklyn she would see her next week and she gave me this dirty look. I guess she doesn't like me. We sat in silence. I ate and thought about the things I told Brook last night.

Flashback

I sat in my room waiting for my parents to come home. I hated when they left me alone with my brother. We all knew he wasn't right in his head but yet they still left him to watch me. I was watching TV when I heard my door handle jiggle. I knew he was trying to get in. I slowly got of my bed so it wouldnt make any noise. I heard it jiggle again. "Cat baby I know you're in there don't be scared"
I quickly made my way to my bathroom and locked and hid in the bathtub. This was the best I could do. He started to kick my door, eventually he got it open. "Kitty cat where are you, I just wanna play come on".  I heard his foots steps around my bedroom and they started to get closer to the bathroom door. He started to bang on the door, I let out a little whimper and quickly covered my mouth. The door opened and he found me. He snatched me by my arm and threw me onto my bed. I kicked and screamed trying to get away from him. It was hard considering he was 6ft to my 5'2. "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU SICKO". He grabbed my leg and pulled me closer to him. He ripped my shirt off and I quickly tried to cover myself. He raised his left hand and punched my in my face. He continued to make contact with various parts of my body. I started to give up until I heard a front door slam. It took everything in me to scream for help. "HELP PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP". My brother stopped what he was doing and put his hand over my mouth. I couldn't breathe, I heard heavy foot steps coming up the stairs. I started to lose consciousness before I felt the weight of my brother being lifted off of me. I soon gave up trying to stay awake and wanted to let God take me, but I guess he had other plans. I woke up in a hospital. He gave me 3 broken ribs, a fractured wrist, a broken nose, and a concussion. I found out he was arrested and I would have to testify.

Present

I finished my food and put my dish in the sink. "Im sorry about all the yelling this morning" she rubbed the back of her neck. "Its fine I hope I didn't cause that tho". I gave a shy smile. "No you're fine, she was just tripping over nothing". We watched TV for a while before I had to leave. "Thank you for letting me spend the night, I had fun with you" "No problem you can come over anytime". She gave me her perfect smile. I reached up and kissed her cheek before walking off and getting in my car.

Update: Sorry for the short chapter I just wanted to give an update. If you're enjoying this book I'm sorry for not updating regularly. I'm currently trying to do work to raise my grade in one of my classes and haven't been focused on updating it.
