Hello! I'm really taking a leap of faith by publishing this story...I hope you enjoy the first chapter. Your reviews will determine whether or not I update this story soooo enjoy and please review!

It was 5 years post-graduation, and everyone from the Hollywood Arts Class of 2014 had split up. Beck, Jade, and Cat moved to New York shortly after graduation, with Jade and Beck renting an apartment together, and Cat renting the one across the hall. Robbie, Tori, and Andre had remained in Los Angeles, all sharing an apartment.

Beck and Jade had eloped a year after their arrival in New York, with Cat as their one and only teary-eyed witness besides the ceremony officiant. They didn't want a big ceremony, just to be and Andre began dating shortly after moving in together, which complicated Robbie's life. It was hard for him since he always felt like he was intruding on their relationship. Cat and Robbie regularly talked through text message and video-chat, but were never established as a couple. After a while, the messages and chats became fewer and fewer until they barely talked. It was hard for both of them, because they were so close in high school and it seemed to just fall apart.

One evening in November, Cat was on her computer in her apartment, when she got a video call from Robbie. She smiled as she pressed answer.

"Hi, Cat!" he said happily, when her face appeared.

"Hiiiiii!" she replied.

"How've you been? We haven't talked in a while."

"Pretty good, and I know! How are you?"

"Same. I actually called because there's something I have to tell you." he blushed.

"Really? What?" she asked with a smile.

"I'm engaged!" he yelled happily.

Her face fell. She tried not to show how upset she was. She must've been silent for a long time, because he began to call her name.

"Cat? Cat?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. That's great, Robbie! I'm so happy for you!" she tried faking her disappointment. "I didn't even know you were dating someone."

"Yeah, I met her when we were twenty and we've been dating for three years now."

"You never told me about her, though."

"I didn't want to make things awkward between us. The only ones who knew were Tori and Andre."

"What's her name?"

"Rosie."

"That's a pretty name. When do you think the wedding will be?"

"The date's set. June 12th, 2020."

She gulped. That was two weeks before her birthday. "I'm really happy for you Robbie. Congrats."

"Thanks Cat, it means a lot. You're invited to the wedding, of course. And Beck and Jade."

"I'll spread the word." she fake smiled. "I have to go now, it's after eleven, and I have work tomorrow."

"I forgot about the time difference. I'm sorry."

"No, it's alright, don't worry about it."

"We'll talk again soon, ok?"

"Sure, Robbie. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Cat."

As soon as she shut her laptop, the tears began falling from her eyes. Engaged? How could he be engaged? She got off of her bed, and left her apartment, locking it behind her. She ran across the hall, knocking furiously on Beck and Jade's door. A sleepy-looking Beck, wearing only pajama pants, answered the door.

"What's wrong, Cat?" he asked, stifling a yawn.

"Robbie's engaged." she cried loudly. Beck gently pulled her inside the apartment, so she wouldn't wake up the neighbors, and shut the door behind them.

Hearing Cat hysterical crying from the bedroom, Jade called for her. "Cat, what happened?"

Cat ran to Beck and Jade's bedroom where Jade lie under the sheets. She looked exhausted. Jade sat up in the bed, the sheets falling to her waist, revealing her black tank-top.

"Robbie's engaged!" the tears were falling rapidly down her face.

"So?" Jade's voice cracked. "It's not like he was dating you both simultaneously and he just decided to tell you now. You two never even dated! You shared like, two kisses in high school, and that's it."

Beck came back into the bedroom, and got back into bed, clearly only half-awake.

"B-b-but Jade, I've always liked Robbie-"

Jade cut her off. "Yes Cat, which is exactly why you moved three thousand miles away from him, hardly ever speak to him, and you ran away from him during that whole Cow Wow thing."

"I was really shy back then and what was I supposed to do? I've always wanted to live in New York, I just thought our feelings were mutual."

"Cat, you should never assume anything. You need to go home and get some rest, you're getting worked up over nothing."

"This isn't nothing, Jade. R-robbie's engaged!" the tears were still falling rapidly down her cheeks.

"What's done is done, Cat. You can't tell him to break up with this girl just so you could lead him on forever."

Cat whimpered, and shifted uncomfortably. "Can I spend the night here?"

Jade sighed. "Of course, the couch-"

Cat squeezed in the bed, right in the middle of Beck and Jade. Their king-sized bed now felt tight with three people in it, but they didn't push Cat out, they just let her be, despite her crying for another hour. Eventually, Beck got up and went to sleep on the couch himself, leaving Jade to comfort Cat in the bed.

Meanwhile, Robbie was at home, just sitting on the couch in his apartment.

"How did it go?" Tori asked, when she and Andre had gotten home from the recording studio. They were working on an album together, and spent long hours away from home.

"It went well, she was so happy." he said, with a disappointed tone.

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No, I just kind of wish her reaction was...different."

"How so?" Andre asked.

"I just wish it was different."

"You still like her, don't you?"

Liking her was an understatement. He loved her. He couldn't tell them how he felt about Rosie compared to how he felt about Cat. "A little. But I'm marrying Rosie because I love her."

"Well don't jump into things if you're uncertain. You don't want to make a mistake."

"I'm not making a mistake. My mind is made up." But was it really?
