Catherine’s words made her want to cry “Not meant to be happy?” she whispered to her friend. She pulled Catherine to her in an embrace. “Honey, you deserve all of the happiness in the world” She whispered into her friends hair. Catherine couldn’t keep the tears at bay anymore. She cried and cried, her new kitten meowing in protest.
They pulled apart and stared at the little kitten. “I don’t know if my parents are even going to let me keep her” Catherine said, stroking the animals tiny head, trying to sniff her sadness away.
“They will, Audrey is good at convincing” Felicia smiled, giving the cat a light stroke. Catherine chuckled softly. A knock came at the door, both Felicia and Catherine jumped.
As calmly as possible Catherine asked who it was. Both of the girls sighed in relief when they saw that it was only Audrey.
“Sorry to have scared you miss” Audrey’s Irish accent showed. “Felicia’s going to have to go now miss, lest she be discovered” Audrey gave Catherine a wink “I suggest you make your goodbye’s quick” Audrey left the room, closing the door softly behind her.
Felicia looked at Catherine once the nurse had closed the door “I guess that’s my cue to leave” the two friends shared another hug “You’re going to be alright Catherine, just make the most of it” Letting go of her friend she looked Catherine in the eyes and smiled faintly. “Just don’t forget me when you go”
“I won’t forget you Felicia” Sad smiles were exchanged, followed by a goodbye pet to the kitten. Within two minutes Felicia was gone and Catherine was alone again.
Felicia closed the door behind her and found Audrey in the hall, waiting to escort her out of the house. Felicia looked Audrey in the eyes, her brown ones filled with pain. “Do you think the Millers will ever let me in here?”
Audrey didn’t really know what to say to Felicia’s question. “I don’t quite know Felicia” Audrey looked down, not wanting to face the girls pained expression “They don’t quite like your influence on Catherine” Audrey said softly.
“My influence? This is the 21st century! People aren’t to be pawned off; they are to make their own choices, live life” Felicia’s rage rekindled, but quickly dissipated. She wasn’t angry with Audrey, it wasn’t her fault that this whole ordeal was happening “I’m sorry Audrey; I don’t mean to get upset with you”
“I know” Audrey said softly, leading Felicia the way to the door.
“You know Audrey? Catherine is really lucky to have you as a nurse. You risk your job every time I visit. Why?”
“Because I hate to see Catherine so sad. Her parents think they are giving her a good life by marrying her off like this, but in their frenzy to secure her future they haven’t stopped to see how miserable she is.” Audrey looked up to look into Felicia’s face “You give her what little happiness she has in the world, you make her forget and show her how to have fun. Ever since you two were little I could see it, you being the ring leader for all of your childish pranks” Audrey smiled at the memory “The ones that I had to clean up after so Catherine’s parents wouldn’t know”
“That was you?” Felicia asked
“Who else would have cleaned up after you?” Audrey chuckled.
Once at the front door Audrey opened it for Felicia to which she walked out, before closing the door Audrey spoke, Felicia’s back facing her “Catherine is lucky to have a friend who cares”
“But is that enough?” Felicia said cryptically before walking away from the Miller’s home.
