"Kit, what the hell?! Are you fucking insane?!," Jace yelled and I sighed. This was going to be a long night.

I stayed silent as he lectured me, which lasted most of the night. I was sitting on my bed while Jace paced around the room as he spoke. Everyone else sat on either Logan's bed or our desk chairs.

I wanted to block Jace out and check to see if Cam was okay, but he was keeping a close eye on if I was listening to him or not. His lecture was mostly about how irresponsible I was, and that I was a dumb ass for not feeding before going inside that room. He said my demon was too starving for me to be thinking clearly, and that killing another student was never the answer, even if said student had done something awful. He said the right way of handling things would have been taking Pete to the Headmaster's office immediately.

What pissed him off even more was when I rolled my eyes.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?," he questioned with an angry tone. I looked down immediately and stayed silent. I knew I made a mistake by rolling my eyes. "Kit, look at me," he firmly said.

I ignored him and continued looking down at the floor. Honestly, I hated that Jace was mad at me. I saw his feet stop in front of mine and I waited for him to do something. I hoped he would let it go, but he didn't.

He used his thumb and finger to hold my chin and move my face towards his. Surprisingly, he was gentle with the action. I expected it to be rougher since he was so angry, to be honest.

"Kit, you know I only want what's best for you. What you did wasn't okay. You need to realize that," he said calmer.

"Dude, he understands. You've told him the same thing four times now. Saying it over and over isn't going to change what happened. Just calm the fuck down," Titan said with a groan.

Jace's face snapped towards Titan so fast, I swear I heard a crack.

"Titan, is it?," Jace asked with a glare and Titan nodded. "Tell me, how is any of this even your business? As far as I can see, this is between Kit, Cam, and me. Not you."

"Excuse me? I was there! Or are you fucking blind?!," Titan yelled back and they began shouting at each other back and forth.

This was becoming a disaster. If someone didn't do something soon, a fight was going to break out. I looked at the others and frowned. Harley was holding onto a crying Cam, Logan was holding back Titan the best he could, and Harry looked lost in thought. It was like he was still trying to process what had even happened in Cam's room. I understood why; I was much different than how I was a year and a half ago.

"Stop," I said. Nobody else was going to do anything to stop them. They continued to yell things at each other, and I snapped. "Stop!," I yelled and they silenced. Actually, they had stopped mid-word. Suddenly, everyone in the room was looking at me, and I pinched the bridge of my nose as I stood up.

"Sit down and shut up," I commanded and they begrudgingly sat down while still shooting glares at each other. "First of all, Jace, I know you want me to feel bad about what happened, but to be honest, I don't. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you've never been raped. You don't know how it feels to be violated like that. I was lucky and had my mom to help me afterwards. We don't know how long Cam has been going through this, and I won't sit here any longer and let you tell me what I did wasn't okay. I'll admit, trying to kill him probably wasn't the best move, but it happened and I don't regret it. I won't lie about that. What he did to our sweet little Cam is unacceptable and he deserves far more than just a punishment from the Headmaster. Now you know how I feel about it." I took a deep breath before continuing, cutting off Jace before he could speak.

"Cam, I'm so sorry for scaring you. I never wanted you to be scared of me. I only want you to be happy and safe. I want my happy, cuddly, sweet Cam back. I'm sorry for just letting you go. I should have fought for you. Instead, I was a selfish jackass that only thought about myself. I hope you can someday forgive me because you mean a lot to me," I said, looking Cam directly in the eyes the entire time. Next, I turned towards Logan and Titan.

"Logan, even though you were an asshole, I am willing to give our friendship a second chance. I miss my other best friend, and I know the rest of our friends miss you too. Titan, thank you for the offer, but I am going to decline your offer for joining your relationship. You've grown on me, and I'd like to be friends. Right now, I would like to figure out what the fuck is going on with my demon before pulling you two into anything beyond friends."

Next, I looked at Harley. "Babe, you've been with me through everything. You mean the entire universe to me. I'm so sorry for being such a prick lately, and thank you for putting up with me through it all. I'm lucky to have you in my life, and I love you."

Now, the hardest of all...

"Harry, I know I'm not the same Kit I was back then, but I still love you. I'm sure after seeing me like that earlier you probably want nothing to do with me, but I'm asking you to give me a chance. If you can't, I will understand. Just please know that I am still the Kit you know. I'm just a bit... rougher around the edges now. If you can accept that and accept me for who and how I am, I would love to give us another shot. Please, take all the time you need to think about everything."

They were silent after that, each processing what I had said to them. A few minutes passed, but Jace was the first to speak.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you. You're right, I don't know what it's like. Honestly, now that I think about it, I probably would have reacted the same way you did. I hope you can forgive me, Kit," Jace said softly and I smiled.

"I do. Thank you," I said as I pulled him into a hug. He clung onto me, hugging me tightly.

"Thank you for giving me another chance at our friendship. I know I ruined it, but I will do my best to fix it. You mean a lot to me, and I won't fuck up again. I promise," Logan said.

"Just know, I won't be giving up anytime soon," Titan added and winked. I chuckled and shook my head.

"Kit, I love you too. Just know that I can only take so much of your shit before smacking you," she teased and I laughed.

"Noted," I smiled and Jace pulled away. He sat back down, and I nervously waited for Harry and Cam to speak.

Harry was the first, and said, "Baby, I'm never letting you go again. You're my baby boy, and you always will be. I love you just the way you are, and I always will. I would love to give us another shot. I'd love it more than anything." He stood up, walked over to me, and placed a soft sweet kiss on my lips. I blushed slightly, smiling, then he sat back down with a smile.

I bit my lip nervously, and looked at Cam. I frowned when I noticed his droopy ears, and itched to feel his soft hair between my fingers. I wanted him in my arms again. I wanted to be able to call him my neko again, and cuddle him for hours. I wanted most of all to see his beautiful smile again.

I looked down at the floor, not sure what to do. What does someone do in this situation? Do I just say it's okay if he doesn't want to see me again? Even just the though of never seeing him again made my chest hurt.

"Cam, it's okay if-," my words were cut off when his body slammed into mine, causing me to grunt and us fall backwards onto my bed.

"Thank you for saving me," is all he said. He began crying again, and I rubbed my hand up and down his back soothingly. "Thank you," he muttered again as he buried his face in my neck.

"Anything for you," I murmured in his ear and his arms tightened around me.

He cried for a least five to ten more minutes before he stopped and looked at me again.

"Kit, you saved me from that monster. There's nothing to forgive. C-can I please be your neko again?"

I smiled at him and kissed his cheek.

"Of course. I've missed you so much, Cam," I moved us so we were in a more comfortable position on my bed.

He smiled and cuddled me closer.

"God damn, that is so fucking cute," I heard Titan mutter.

"I still think Kit should have a threesome with Cam. It would be so fucking hot," Harley bluntly stated and I chuckled when Cam blushed fiercely.
