I woke up alone and cold. I opened my eyes slowly and blinked a couple of times to rid myself of sleep. I looked around and noticed that Raphael wasn't beside me. The blanket that had been covering me was tossed to the side. I sat up and yawned. I stood up and stretched a little bit. I walked over to the kitchen but it was empty as well.

I walked into the bathroom and freshened up. As I passed by Niko's door I heard him talking to someone. I looked down the hall but no one was there. I padded quietly to his door and pressed my ear against it.

"I'm trying I really am",he said somewhat angrily.

"I know and I'm very sorry but you just have to wait"

"OK I will I promise"

"Goodbye",he muttered. I quickly stepped away from the wall and walked briskly to my room.

I leaned back on the closed door and looked around my room. All traces of Micky sleeping here were gone. The bed was made up nice and tidy. A knock on the door startled me and I jumped away from the door quickly.

"Kaitlyn are you in there",came Niko's deep voice from the other side.

"Uhh y-yea I'm here",I stammered.

"Well ok I have to run some errands but I'll be back soon",he said.

"Ok goodbye",I said and heard his footsteps as he retreated. I waited for the sound of the front door closing before I plopped down on my bed.

I picked up my phone and saw I had four unread messages. One from Isaiah, one from Raphael and the other two unknown. I clicked on Raphael's first.

I'm sorry we had to go Dad call I'll call you later babe

I love you

I responded with-

It's ok

I love you too

I clicked on Isaiah's it said-

Can't wait too see you Kaitlyn ;)

Oh! yeah he was coming over today.

I replied-

What time?

After I sent that I was left with the unknown numbers. I clicked on the first one it said-

I'm someone who loves you and misses you.

I read it a couple more times and then it hit me that this person had texted me before saying hey and I had asked them who it was. I was confused by the text so I didn't respond. I clicked on the other one and almost dropped my phone.

How faithful is your boyfriend?

I let my phone fall on the bed and I shakily stood up. Was Raphael cheating on me? He couldn't be he was the one who wanted to be with me in the first place. He asked me out first. I picked up my phone and sent a quick reply.

Who ever this is why don't you mind your own Fucking business.

I dialed Raphael's number. He answered on the third ring.

"Hey baby I though I was gonna-"

"Are you cheating on me?",I blurted.

The line stayed silent until Raphael took a deep breath.

"What are you talking about?",he said his voice low.

"Someone sent me some text asking how faithful you really are? So tell me are you cheating on me",I said my voice cracking at the end.

"Of course I'm not baby how could you think that?",he asked angrily.

"Well when someone questions how faithful your boyfriend is you ask",I said pissed off at his tone.

"Are you serious why would you even care what others say?",now he was shouting.

"You know what forget it",I said and ended the call. No sooner had I put the phone down that Raphael called again. I turned off my phone and threw it on the bed. The tears came fast. I let myself fall into my beanbag chair.

I put my head in my hands and cried harder. I thought we had been good. That the love he had for me was real. He told me countless times that he did indeed love me so why had he been so defensive on the phone. I walked out of my room and headed to the kitchen, tears still streaming down my face. Before I could get there someone knocked on the door.

I brushed away the tears quickly and walked to the door. I looked through the peephole. Crap! It was Isaiah. I opened the door and Isaiah's face lit up with a smile. Which quickly turned into a frown when he saw my face. Before I knew it he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me to his chest.

"It's ok baby, it's ok",he said rubbing my back. It only made me cry harder. Isaiah stepped inside still holding me and shut the door. He walked over to the couch and pulled me onto his lap. I was too hurt and angry to move away. So I let him hold me and comfort me until I stopped sobbing.

"What happened Kaitlyn?"he asked. I bit my lip trying to keep the tears away and then took a deep breath.

"I think Raphael's cheating on me"I whispered. Isaiah didn't say anything for a few minutes so I looked up at him. He was staring over me at the wall, thinking.

"You don't need him Kaitlyn"he said after minutes of silence. I placed my head on his shoulder and sighed.

"But I love him",I said pathetically. I heard Isaiah's sharp intake of breath which he tried to disguise with a cough.

"I think I just need a minute",he muttered and stood up gently pushing me off his lap. He walked to the kitchen area and left me there. Ugh! Why did I have to open my mouth? The front door opened and Niko stepped in holding some bags. I looked up at him and smile but then I saw he wasn't alone.

Raphael was behind him. At that moment Isaiah decided to come back. Niko and Raphael stepped in and shut the door. They hadn't noticed Isaiah. Yet.

"Kat I'm sor-",Raphael trailed off as he saw Isaiah in the doorway. He tensed and his jaw flexed. My heart sped up as I looked over at Isaiah he was staring blankly at Raphael. He walked over and took a seat next to me.

"So this what you do the moment we have a fight you run back to him.",Raphael shouted.

Niko stood off to the side watching.

"Who knew you were such a slut",he said angrily. I saw Niko step forward and grab Raphael's arm.

"You, get out of my house now",he growled looking at Isaiah. Isaiah didn't seem the least bit fazed but either way he turned to me and placed a kiss on my cheek before standing up and walking out the door.

Raphael took a step towards him but Niko held him off. After he had gone Raphael turned to me and Niko walked off but not before telling Raphael to "watch himself". Raphael stood looking at the ceiling for a few minutes trying to calm down. I wiped a few tears that had managed to escape. When I looked up Raphael was watching me.

"I don't understand Kat I thought you loved me",he said softly taking a step forward. I rolled my eyes.

"Are you fucking kidding me right now!! I love you. I love you so fucking much that it hurts. Ok so don't stand there and question my love for you",I said standing up and getting in his face.

His eyes darted all over my face as if trying to see if I was lying. His hand came up to cup my face but I stepped away. Hurt flashed in his eyes but quickly was replaced by a blank stare.

"I bet Isaiah could touch you"he scowled. My hand connected with his cheek. I pulled back surprised but I wouldn't apologize. Raphael looked stunned but not angry.

"You knew he was coming when you looked through my phone so don't act so surprised ok but that's not even the problem here ok!",I said.

"You know I would never do anything to hurt you",he said looking at me frowning.

"But then why would someone say that to me?",I said throwing my hands up.

"I don't know maybe they don't want us to be together",he said staring at me with his deep brown eyes. I felt my anger fading and fast.

"Trust me please I love you so much Kat",he said grabbing my hands. One of his hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me to his chest. I placed my head on his shoulder.

"I'm trying I really am"I whispered. He hugged me tighter.

"So am I Kat",he said kissing the top of my head.

I don't know if I like it but just want to give you guys a little something.

Who do you think sent that text to Kat?

Do you think its true?
