I ran straight to my house. I kept muttering the words,"this isn't happening" to myself. I leapt up the stairs two at a time. I swung open my door and slammed it behind me. I sank to the floor bringing my knees to my chest and I buried my head in my hands.

"Excuse me!" I heard my father grumble. I looked up, tear filled eyes to see my father standing before me. In his hand he held Curiosity by the neck. "What is this overgrown rat doing in here." I was at a lose for words. "ANSWER ME!" He screamed. "she's my kitten." I managed to whisper. "GOD DAMN IT YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE BRAT! I TOLD YOU NO F***ING PETS! GET RID OF IT NOW!" He yelled. He threw her against the wall and I heard a faint meow and then a whimper. "What the hell!?" I looked him in the eye as I stood up. "She's my cat!" "I don't give a damn." He spat. "You should! I'm your frigging daughter!" "I never wanted you anyway!" His hand came up and struck me in the cheek, hard. Immediately he felt bad. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to... I just..." "F*** you!" I Swung open the door and gave him the finger as I ran down the stairs and through the door. Curiosity had followed me, but now where was I going to go. I had no family except for my sister, but I hadn't talked to her since I was 13, and I had no idea where see was. I had no friends.

I ran until my legs were numb. Then I sank to the ground and began to cry. Not just about being abused, but about everything. I cried about my mom, about the accident, about the teasing, about Zach, about everything. Finally, I looked at Curiosity and said, " Its just you and me, against the world." She meowed. "This is it. I always tried to visualize what it would be like to have nobody, at all. Now I know." Then as a final tear rolled down my cheek I muttered one last word. "Always."

Zach's POV.

I went to my room and slammed the door behind me. F***!!!" I yelled. It was her, the one I was supposed to open up to. I didn't understand why she got so pissed off though. I mean, yeah I lied to her, but I just wanted to be her friend. Girls suck! I told myself, but she didn't! She was perfect!
