God damn, Ava was annoying and she got to me. I spent the rest of the day fuming over the fact that she was annoying and I was right and you were definitely wrong. I fumed over it so long I turned my phone on so I could answer your inevitable call, but you didn’t call. And that pissed me off even more, to the point that at 6:30 PM I decided to go the psyche ward.

That day I found you in the cafeteria, which I entered with a chip on my shoulder and approached you. You were at a table by yourself and they’d given you crayons and paper, as if the place was some kind of warped daycare center and you were four years old. As I sat, you didn’t even look up and began talk to me as if I’d been there the whole time.

“Have you gone to check on Grey?”

“Charlie, what the hell do you mean by slapping me?”

“I need someone to check on him and you’re all I’ve got, so I need you to go by the house.”

I leaned close to your face and pointed at two staff members by the doors. “Those people asked if I wanted to press charges against you and I almost did. I could have you prosecuted for assault, but I—”

“I keep his litter under the kitchen sink. The box probably needs to be cleaned. His food is—”

“Jesus Christ. I am not cleaning your fucking cat’s fucking litter box and I’m not refilling his fucking food bowl and—”

“You shouldn’t neglect him. It’s cruel and you’ll hurt his feelings. I need you to take care of him.”

“Charlie, you slapped me. After I saved your life and spent all that fucking time with you, making sure you were okay. And you didn’t even—”

“Here,” you said, pushing a paper toward me. On it was a surprisingly artistic rendering of what looked like you holding the gray cat on your lap. “Take this to the house with you and put it next to his bowls. He’s lonely. I have this sense about it. This’ll help him feel better.”

“Do you even hear me? Are you even going to apologize for what you did?”

You turned your big eyes toward me and they flashed silver with a borderline-intimidating anger. “Are you going to apologize for what you did?”

“What the hell do I need to apologize for?”

“You stole from me,” you said and your voice was like a blue norther. “You stole something I’ll never be able to get back and you put me in a cage.”

“I didn’t steal shit from you.”

“You’re a thief, Seth McCollum,” you said on a breath like an echo in the desert and your face was completely expressionless other than your eyes, which suddenly looked capable of growing hands to strangle me. “And I’ll never forgive you.”

“Are you completely out of your fucking mind?”

“You put me in this place.”

“No, a judge put you in this place because you’re a fucking lunatic and you’re kind of scaring me right now.
