EPISODE 27

Catherine's POV:

I left home with my purse, my coat and my scarf including my phone. I couldn't..... I couldn't sit down and watch when I have just been told something very disturbing.

I walked down to the bus stop and grabbed the next bus. My night was just ruined even though I don't remember anything that happened even though I can't remember what my parents looks like or my life with them neither was there any feeling of connection towards them but as a human I feel sad for what's going on and I feel sad that I'm going to be the one to pay the price for something I know nothing about.

I mean this is b******* this is nonsense why am I going to pay me for something I don't know anything about, why is he being mean to me?

And why is my stupid heart beating so loudly for him what am I hearing for his attention why do I care if he treats me right or not why do I have to care about him about my bully someone who has made sure to make my life hell since I came to RHS, does that make me a sadist? Am I a masochist now?

I think I'm sick, something must be wrong with my head.

When I got to Talia's house, I dialled her number on my phone and called her.

"Hey, I'm in front of your house, can you open the door, please?" I asked tiredly, my feet hurt. I needed to sit down.

"Yes, of course. I'll be there shortly." She responded.

I rested my body against the wall and rubbed my hands over my face.

I am stupid.

Really stupid.

I don't think this is something I should worry about. I mean who cares about that.

No, that is a bad choice of words. I meant to say it has nothing to do with the current me and I shouldn't be bothered about it.

The gate opened and Talia showed up.

"Hey, are you okay?" She questioned, her face contorted with concern.

I shook my head and started walking inside.

Talia closed the gate behind her and followed me.

"Catherine? Are you okay?" She asked yet again.

"Are your parents in, I would really like to talk to you about something important." I said to her, She looked down at me and shook her head.

"No, come on, let's go inside and talk." She said to me, a bright smile on her face, purposefully there to cheer me up.

Unlike the other students parents in RHS, Talia's parents are from new money but she is not arrogant like the other kids and no,she doesn't show her off she doesn't act as if her parents are rich so she can bully anyone or treat anyone as a slave, that's why I respect and love her, she's really a gem and I am blessed to have as a friend, truly blessed.

"Hi Holly," I greeted Talia's younger sister. She was really a great kid with brown eyes and ginger hair, she is an epitome of beauty just as beautiful as a sister and very respectful too.

"Hi Catherine, you look so sad are you okay?" She asked me. Oh, I forgot to mention the fact that she talks a lot and is very funny.

"Go up to your room Holly, Catherine and I need to talk," Talia said and glanced at me.

Holly stared at me in confusion but stood up without more questions and walked out of the living room.

After Holly had left, Talia sat down at the opposite couch and placed her hands on her knees.

"So tell me, what is going on? What happened and why do you look like that? I know for a fact that I told you to come to my house tonight but I didn't tell you to look sad while coming so tell me what happened, what's going on did your aunt say something bad to you again?" She questioned me impatiently, her eyes almost coming out of her eyes.

I think I'm pathetic. Why should I care about what my uncle said. should I be worried about what Ace has planned for me or should I be worried about the fact that I don't know anything about my past.

"I don't know how to say this, I don't know where to start from, I'm going crazy right now I don't know.... my head is very f****** heavy, I don't understand my life anymore, I don't know anything and I'm very confused." I cried out. I am going insane.

She stared at me in total confusion. I know, I know right, I sound like a mad woman I don't know what's going on with me I don't know what triggered my madness tonight but I'm going insane, it is ticking like a time bomb in my head just waiting to be blasted.

what am I going to do what is going on with me I'm going f****** crazy.

She stood up from the couch and rushed to me, she knelt down in front of me and took my hands in hers.

"Look at me, look at me Catherine, I need you to calm down, I need you to get yourself together, acting like this won't get you anywhere.

I don't know what this is all about but we can solve it, we can find a way to solve it just tell me what it is, you know I'm always here for you I will always be here for you, you just have to stop and let me know what is going on with you and why you are behaving like this.

I've never seen you like this, I don't know why you are acting this way this is not you, what's going on I'm confused really I'm very confused and I don't like being kept in the dark so let me know what's going on girl and let's know how to solve this." She told me forcefully, her eyes staring deeply into mine.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

I have never told anyone about my deepest secret, about how I feel, about what my life has turned into, about how I can't even remember my parents, how I can't even remember my birthday without being told. I can't even remember anything about my past life. I don't even know if I have friends before. I don't even know what my life used to look like, don't even know if this golden is my real hair color, I don't know anything and I'm confused.

"Apparently according to my uncle tonight my father could have been the reason why Ace's father died." I said to her, she stared at me in confusion, her eyebrows raised and her lips upturned.

"What do you mean? Ace Hampton? How is that possible?" She inquired impatiently.

"I don't know, I can't answer that question because I don't know what really happened. you see, I had an accident and I was in coma for a long time and when I wake up I can't remember any f****** things that happened in the past, I couldn't even remember my name,I couldn't even remember how old I was, I couldn't even remember who my parents were or even remember who I am." I snapped. I was angry. My bad luck. My destiny.

I was angry about so many things

Talia stood up from the ground slowly while staring at me.

"So basically you lost your memory and your uncle is saying that your father killed Ace's father, does this make sense? What is going to happen now? you know the worst problem is when Ace finds out that you are the daughter of the man that killed his father. this is going to be terrible, I have a very bad feeling about this." Talia mumbled under her breath.
