To Write Love on Her Arms

Pardon Me While I Burst Into Flames

Mikey was annoyed, extremely annoyed. For days he had been trying to find 'K.J.'.
Facebook had served him only the purpose of pissing him off. First, he didnt want a facebook
but had to make one in order to search for K.J. Then trying to find someone based off typing
'K. J.' into the search bar provided no leads. In addition to all of this, he had very nearly been
caught putting the journal back in Tony's bag. Mike had taken it out again to review for clues
but Tony had come back unexpectedly. He had thrown the book into the suitcase and hid in
his bunk. Thankfully, Tony was either to tired or didn't give a fuck to notice.
Many times, Mike considered telling the others about his search but he wasn't sure
how they would react. Looking for someone based off their initials and guessing their gender
was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. A haystack that he was pretty sure Tony,Vic,
and Jaime would need glasses for. Instead, he searched the internet day after day with fading
hope.
'Vic wants to adopt a cat.' Jaime spoke, entering the back lounge. Mike raised
an eyebrow. 'A cat? hmmm.Well as much as I love sheepcat, I think a real cat would
be fun. Make the road a little more homie.' Mikey said with a smile. Jaime thought for
a moment before a wide grin spread across his face. 'SHEEPCAT NEEDS A FRIEND!' He yelled.
Mike laughed and nodded, grabbing Sheepcat while Jaime grabbed his phone. 'PHOTO OP!'
Jaime yelled even louder this time before snapping the picture. Then Jaime just ran off.
'Typical Jaime' Mike thought to himself before deserting his computer in favor of a stress
releasing nap.
'CATTTTTTTT. MEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWW.' Startled Mike from dreamland.
Just from the sounds and using his best guess, Mikey figured Vic was back and Jaime was
trying to speak 'Cat'. Though from the hissing and growling, it didn't sound like the cat
was to keen on him. Mikey chuckled, rolling out of his bunk.
'Hey man.Glad you are finally awake!' Vic smiled at his brother. 'THAT is the biggest
damn pussy have ever seen!' Mikey yelled as he watched Jaime continue to meow loudly and
reach for the cat. 'Jaime, that cat is going to bite your ballsack if you don't leave her alone!'
Tony warned from the couch with a chuckled. Mike shook his head.
'Is her name fatass-cat-who-can-eat-you-for-lunch?' He asked his brother. Vic just laughed.
'She is 27 pounds and prefers the term curvy. Her name is CatCat.'
Upon hearing the name, Tony and Mike's heads both snapped to Vic. 'Large cat' and
'CatCat' had both been mentioned in the journal a major amount of times. There was no
way this was just a random thing.
'Are you guys okay? You look like you both have seen a ghost.' Jaime asked finally
leaving the poor stressed Calico alone.
Tony's face paled even more before he began explaining how he had found and
read the journal. How there was an overweight cat named CatCat mentioned a number of
times and how he was worried for the person who had penned the journal.Tony explained
how the person seemed close to ending it all and had mentioned suicide alot towards
the last pages they had written on. Once he was done explaining Mike could only get a few
words out.
'I read the journal also. Been looking for the writer for days and haven't had any luck.'
For a brief moment, Mike stared at his shoes then something came to mind. If this was the
same person and they had found 'CatCat' a home, they would be ending it tonight or very
soon. Mike gulped and looked over at Tony, his expression told Mike they must have had
the same thought. Maybe it was a concidence and they hadn't loss 'K.J.' yet. Mike took
a deep breath and asked the one thing on his and Tony's minds. 'What was CatCat's owner's
name, Vic?'
'Katie.' With that one word, Mike's entire world went black.
