"I know this hurts, but I promise things can and will get better." The Australian accent was soothing to the distraught young man, who found himself unable to look at the face of his comforter, because her blue eyes and blonde hair was almost the same as the woman who had just dumped him.

"I just don't understand why she'd do that. We've been together for years now." She started stroking his brown hair, hoping to make the pain and despair in his beautiful chocolate eyes go away.

"People grow apart Jase, it can't be helped. But I'm here for you as long as you need me." Her voice had grown softer as she spoke, leaning her head on his strong shoulder, slipping her hand into his. He gave it a slight squeeze as he sighed.

"I know you are Kat, but I can't let you stay for long. You're supposed to be on summer vacation from the academy." Even in his grief, his sense of duty and responsibility for others reigned supreme and Katherine Hilliard had a hard time holding her smile back. Jason Lee Scott was a natural born leader, and she would do everything in her power to bring the smile back to his face.

"You don't really have a say in the matter Jase, you come first, not partying on the beach." She pulled her head off his shoulder so she could look into his eyes.

"But why?" It was a loaded question, she knew it was. He wasn't specifically asking why she was helping him. He was asking why she cared, why she was staying. He was wondering why Emily had broken up with the former leader of the Power Rangers. She couldn't answer for Emily, but she could answer for herself. Truth be told, she had always had a soft spot for the stoic man. If Tommy hadn't returned her feelings, she could have fallen for Jason once upon a time. She gave him a sad, gentle smile hoping to convey her thoughts and feelings to him.

"Because we're friends." She just hoped that for now, that would be enough.
