“ scott — how do i explain this ?? he’s my ex & i was with him for a very long time. i know he & i had our differences, but we’re friends. yes, i still have feelings for him, but i’m not in love. i’m getting over him. i really am. he & i are just friends. don’t be jealous. ”
“No can do, Kat. You had that murderous look in your eyes when that girl looked at me, so I’m taking preemptive measures here. Let’s just calm down, alright?”
“ she clearly saw me with you & she has the audacity to come over here. if you release me, i won’t hurt her. i will just…resent her from a distance. alright? ”
eyeliner stained tears rolled down pale cheeks in rapid motions. it had to have been her fault. everything was always her fault. her body tremored as she walked to the vet’s office. her arms were covered in cuts & bruises beginning to form. katerina let out not a single cry. she felt as if she couldn’t cry—like she was not allowed to cry. she was the one covered in scars. she was the one in pain. she didn’t understand why, in her mind, she believed that she instagated what had been given to her.
the blond let out a shaky huff of breath as she opened the veterinary office’s door. the tears swelled up in her eyes as she attempted more than once to call out scott’s name. the word kept getting choked up in her throat. she swallowed a dry, cold, nervous breath before calling out his name.
“That’s pretty important to you, isn’t it? Well, I think you’re definitely a winner, but hey, that’s just me.”
“ of course it is. to have a crown on my head is a satisfaction i haven’t felt in a long time. thank you, scott.but i won’t feel that way until my name is called & the tiara is placed on top of my blond hair. ”
“Nope, still EXCRUCIATING, KAT! Those fangs hurt!”
“ i’m sorry !! i’m trying to remove the venom from your system as quickly as possible! this is the only way! just sit tight! would you like to die of snake venom? ”
“It’s okay; I’m okay. Just go home, Kat. Go home now.”
her heart shattered into pieces as she looked at her boyfriend’s injuries. neither of them were healing? why weren’t they healing? katerina held onto her bloodied side and limped her way over to his side. she lifted him up with his arm wrapped around her neck.
“ no. i won’t leave without you, scott! i—i’m not really sure what we can do, but you’re so beaten. i’m taking you to the hospital & i’ll explain the situation to your mom. i know this is going to make her hate me more, but at least she’ll know i’m trying. “
she lifted him gently to his feet, hoping to god that he would consciously make it to her car.
