Chapter Seventeen

Another week and a half went by with Cat playing the part of the perfect daughter. She had always been good before, but then she didn’t feel like she had to be. She was allowed some freedom to come and go as she pleased and was always trusted. Cat wondered if she would ever have that relationship with her parents again. Since her semi-suicide attempt, it seemed that they truly looked at her as a different person. That hurt Cat most of all. At least Lili still treated her the same.

Cat sat on her window seat staring outside. She was dying to go on a jog, it was the perfect morning. But every time she asked, her mother seemed to find some excuse or something she needed Cat to do. Cat didn’t know what they thought she was going to do? Jump in the reservoir? She had been home for four weeks now and things seemed to be getting worse.

“Cat?” Lili called from down the hall.

“I’m in my room!” Cat replied.

“Can you come here for a sec?” Lili called back.

Sighing, Cat got up and shuffled down the hall to her sister’s room.

“So, there’s this party tonight,” Lili was going through her closet, “And Mom and Dad are actually going to let me go!”

“You made me come in here so you could tell me that you get to go out and I don’t? Thanks.” Cat turned to go.

“No, wait!” Lili rushed to her.

“What?” Cat felt impatient. The fact that her soon to be sophomore little sis was getting to go out while she had been told she had to stay in and fold laundry was absurd.

“I need to borrow something to wear,” Lili saw the look on Cat’s face and quickly added, “I’ll figure out a way to get you out for a bit if you let me.”

“How?” Cat was skeptical but intrigued.

“I’ll tell mom that I want you to take me back to school shopping. That it will be healthy sister-bonding time, and that I won’t let you out of my sight.” Lili smiled mischievously. “And then I’ll go shop by myself and you’ll have free time to do whatever.”

Cat smiled, “I have a cute dress by French Connection that will look great on you!”

“Personally, I had your new Marc Jacobs dress in mind,” said Lili, walking around her and down the hall towards Cat’s room.

Cat pursed her lips. That was one of her favorite dresses. But it would be worth it for a day of freedom.

“Deal!” Cat called and followed her into the room.

Cat even helped Lili with her hair and makeup that night. She had to admit it — her sister looked fabulous.

“So, where’s the party?” Cat asked as they stood in the foyer, waiting on the car to pick Lili up. Cat hadn’t thought to ask earlier; she just assumed it was at some sophomore’s place. Someone she probably didn’t know anyway.

“It’s Samuel Alden’s party on the rooftop of the Gansevoort Hotel!” Lili exclaimed, excitedly.

Cat swallowed hard.
