Cat And Billie Joe, chapter 14
Cat woke up the next morning, tired, even though she slept until 11, and went to bed around 6. She was still furious with Billie, even to find 16 more messages on her phone from him. It had only been a day, she can't go back now.
But she missed him.
~*~*~
Why won't she call me back? Billie thought to himself.
Because you cheated on her you dumbass.
He paced in front of the couch, holding the phone, willing it to ring. For it to be anyone, to say something about Cat. Anything. Last night Tre had called, telling him Cat was fine, she told him so. She called Tre, but not him. He sighed. He really had to pee, so he went in the bathroom and did so. As he zipped up, he looked at one of the hooks that Cat usually hangs her jewelry from and fingered a necklace. Looking at the other hooks he saw a ring. The engagement ring. Shit. He ran out and grabbed the phone.
~*~*~
Cat's phone rang, and this time she picked it up, answering without looking to see who it was.
"Hello?"
"Cat! Thank god! Please just lis-." Cat hung up on him and buried her face in her pillow, crying.
About two hours later, Cat had showered, dressed and made her self up. She walked down the stairs to find her parent reading the newspaper at the kitchen table.
"Mom? Dad? Can I ask you something?" Cat stood before them, hands behind her back.
"Sure honey." That both set down their section of the paper, her mother taken her reading glasses off.
"Can I stay here until next fall when school starts? I'll get a dorm, and then I'll be gone." She asked them. They looked at each other, then looked back at her. Her dad nodded his head as they both picked up their paper and resumed to their reading.
"Thank you!" Cat kissed them both on the cheek.
But she missed him.
