This one shot is for my first follower, @sugarxsweet09 she is amazing, been so helpful and encouraging, even when she has been going through some rough patches with some idiots at school. She is amazing, and this is a thank you, and you're amazing, and a Christmas present to her. 

This may be her whole present, it may be part 1, we will have to see how it goes.

This is some Parrward angst for you.

Howard's POV:

I walk up to Cathy's room, hoping she has actually slept. I softly open the door, and see her sat her desk, but with her head in her arms, on the desk, and I immediately know she has slept. I am glad of this, because I know she hasn't slept for a good week or two. I sit on her bed, and just watch her, she looks so beautiful when she sleep. I curl up on her bed, and watch Cathy. I do this for an hour, before she stirs, I smile, and walk over to her, and wrap my arms round her neck. She then turns round. And what I never thought she'd do, was glare at me like I was the devil.

I look at her, "What?" I ask. She looks at me, and glares, I take a step back. "Why did you let me sleep?" she asked, I look at her, "Because you needed it Cathy. You haven't slept for a week or two." I say, confused at why she was angry at me. I soon got my answer. "I NEEDED TO FINISH THAT CHAPTER TODAY! I'M NOT GOING TO FINISH IT IF YOU MAKE ME SLEEP, AM I?" I gasped, "Sorry Cathy," I muttered. "Sorry doesn't cut it Katherine." She says, before slapping me across the face. I gasp in pain, and my hand flies up to my cheek. I look at her, and see a smirk cross her face. "You tell no-one about that, like normal. You got that?" I nodded, and stepped back, glad all of the other queens were asleep. I look at Cathy, seeing whether I should leave. "It won't swell. Get concealer on it, and don't complain." she says sharply, I nod, she then dismisses me with a small wave of her hand. I go out of her room, and scurry back to my room. I lock the door, and head to the mini freezer I have and get out an ice pack that I keep for these situations that are very normal for me. I'm just glad she doesn't do what the men did back then. I keep the ice pack on for about 10 minutes, take it off. Put it back in the freezer, and head to my en suite, I look in the mirror, and I see a hand shaped bruise starting to form. I pick up my make-up bag, and put on my normal make-up. I then start to expertly apply the concealer, as I am so used to doing. I blend it in, and once I'm happy no-one will  be able to tell that it's there, I put a fake smile on my face, and clear up. 

I head downstairs about 5 minutes later, dressed, complete with my black choker, to hide the only visible reminder of my past life. I have a fake smile, that is perfected to look real, plastered on my face. I walk down to the smell of Jane's delightful cooking. I walk into the kitchen and sit down at the table, "Morning Jane!" I say brightly, she turns round, "Oh, morning Kitty. I didn't hear you come down, do you mind laying the table?" I smile, and grab six plates, six bowls, six spoons, six knives, 3 mugs, and 3 glasses. I lay the table, making sure that everyone has their colour cutlery and crockery. I then get out the tropical juice from the fridge, and put it on the table. I then walk to Jane, "It's pancakes? Yay!" I say, truly excited. Jane nodded, "They're nearly ready. Can you go and wake everyone up, and ask Cathy if she wants to eat in her room, or down here?" I nod, and run up stairs, waking everyone up. This involved throwing a pillow at Annie, but everyone apart from Cathy was up. I made myself walk to her room, I knock at the door, softly. "Cathy? Jane asks do want breakfast with us, or in your room?" I say, the reply comes, "In my room." I nod, and walk downstairs. I walk into the  kitchen, "She wants it in her room Jane." I say, "Do you want me to help you take it up?" I ask. She shakes her head. "No Kitty, You have breakfast, or you won't get any pancakes." I nod, sit down next to Annie, and grab a pancake, filling it with strawberries and sugar. I take a bite, and enjoy every bite. I then pour myself a glass of tropical juice, take a sip, and swallow it. I struggle a little, feeling the bruise Cathy left when she tried to strangle me yesterday. I smile, and continue eating. Jane comes back down, "Kitty, Cathy wants to see you," I nod, get up, and walk to Cathy's room. I walk in, "You ok Cathy?" I ask. 

She walks to me, leans down. "Did you tell Jane?" she growled, I shake my head, scared. She grabs my head, and yanks it up to her face, "Are you sure Kitten?" she growls. I nod, whining in pain, "Be quiet." she says. I shut up, she nods, "She asked why you seemed a little in pain. Are you sure you didn't say anything." She growled. I nod, trying to escape. She puts me down, beckons me to her bathroom, which I know by now is sound-proof. I follow her over, and wait as she locks the door. She turns to me. I look down, waiting for the first of many blows to come. It comes very soon, knocking the wind out of me, I fall to the floor. She then punches my cheek, right where she struck earlier that day. I whimper, and she strikes again, kicking my stomach with all her might. I then curl up, she then kicks my ribs, and I hear about 4 cracks, and I cry out in pain. She punches my face, before grabbing an arm, and twisting it all the way round, before laying it on the ground, and jumping on it. I feel the bone pierce through the skin, and I scream loudly in pain. She looks at me. She heard something, and we listen, I was whimpering in pain. We hear Jane and the others knocking at the door, "Are you ok?" Jane asks, Cathy looks at me, "We are fine in here Jane." Cathy says, but I take the risk, I call out, "JANE! SHE IS HURTING ME!" I see a glare coming from Cathy, but I hear discussing, and I wait. Cathy whispers, "You are so dead Kitten." I nod. I then hear Annie running at the door. She jump kicks the door down, and runs in, and pulls Cathy away, while Jane and Lina run to me. Jane takes one look at my arm, and gets Lina to call an ambulance. I whimper in pain, and Jane comforts me. I can see Annie restraining Cathy, and Anna calling the police. I suddenly see stars, and I loose consciousness. 

I wake up in the hospital, with Lina, Annie, Jane, and Anna sat around my bed. I look at my self, and see my arm in a cast, my chest covered in bandages, and my leg in, what me and Annie used to call a space boot. I look around for Cathy. "where is she?" I ask. Anna answers, "In prison." I nod, and look around, "What happened, after I blacked out?" I ask. they share a look, and I decide, "actually. I'll wait for that story." They let out a breath, and I smile. Anna stands up, "Can I hug you?" she asks, I nod, "Of course." she smiles, and gives me a gentle hug. I smile at my family, glad I am free of Cathy, finally.

I hope you all liked that. Sorry it went a bit further than the usual angst. I got very excited.

Merry Christmas!
