A/N: I have not written any FanFiction's is over a year, hope you like this. This will be update as soon as possible, I'm planing on this being a continuous story. Rate and Reviews would be extremely helpful.
~This takes place only months after the ending of the movie, I believe that they were together again soon after as their relationship was already partly discovered, and Catherine did not work at the College anymore.
This is written in 3rd person, and switches between Catherine and Jackie's POV.
~*I don't own Bloomington*~
~Catherine~
It was a sunny September morning in lovely Bloomington. Catherine begun her day as she normally did.'Yet again' she thought to herself. She was finding it hard not having her old job to go to each day, and mostly not being able to do what she had always loved since a young age; Psychology. She knew it was all her fault, but scolded at herself for thinking she would never get caught.
However, more than her heartache from her career side, Catherine had been in a state of depression as she no longer held the heart of the love of her life; Jackie. She hated herself for all the things that went on months ago between them that ended their relationship. All the words she never said to the young blonde for her to hear - to know- to understand, to feel. Although Catherine wished different, she knew Jackie had doubts that she was different from all the other girls. Maybe this was why moving to LA was so easy for her?
Catherine sighed at how different she wanted things to turn out. She drifted off into space as she wondered how Jackie was...
~Jackie~
"THAT'S A WRAP!" the director exclaimed, "Great great work everyone!" Cheers, laughter and tears filled the room as hugs went around all the actors and crew. Over the past few months, hype had begun to fill the media over the return of Neptune 26; it was too vague to say that this would become just the next hit for the network. Jackie had spent hours upon hours negotiating her payments that would tie her into a whole franchise of Neptune 26. Memorabilia, tours, interviews, guest appearances, the works. It was not a decision Jackie had made for herself nor what she ever wanted, but what her network wanted. She knew signing the 'Neptune 26 movie' contract left this as an open possibility, but to be honest Jackie thought it was never to happen.
"You coming to the party tonight? Jackie you know it won't be anything unless you're there." Her male costar stated.
Jackie bit her lip contemplating, she had totally forgotten about the wrap up party. This one was nothing big as it was just for the cast and crew, a private gathering more like it, at the producers estate. "I don't know. I have uni work to start on, today's suppose to be my first day." Jackie stated. Plus she wanted to catch some sleep, it had been a long night of filming and it had just turned 6am.
"One day won't do anything...cmon it'll be fun." He urged pulling his hand though his black hair as if he was voted most handsome. Jackie found it hard not to laugh at him.
"Er I've got to get this done, I'll go to the next one." She promised and gave a grin. Jackie changed into her normal clothes and packed up her dressing room before leaving the set for her apartment in LA.
Her long blonde hair flowed in the warm wind as she drove done the streets of LA. She had to admit, she always loved this place, there was just something about it that made her forget everything in life for that moment...even however much she knew it was just learking behind.
With a little time to spare before her online lecture was to begin, Jackie threw on a white and navy blue striped bikini and decided to go for a quick swim on the beach to help wake herself up.
Jackie loved the beach at this time in the morning, there was only few people out and the temperature was perfect.
The warm currents swepted her into the the oceans as if she was just a leaf floating. She dived into the oncoming wave and reimbursed seconds later. She thanked god everyday for having this gift just outside her place. Her eyes caught the sky above and her mind drifted...drifted back to Catherine. Her mind always wondered there whenever it had the chance, it was what her dreams were about each night. Oh how she missed her, her touch, the way she cared for her wellbeing, the way she looked at her, the feel of their bodies together when they had sex. She loved everything about the older blonde.
"I love you Catherine Stark." Jackie whispered then floated back to shore.
~Catherine~
Catherine gazed down into her half drunk coffee cup, lost in her thoughts. She didn't do much these days since she was asked to leave her previous job. It was hard finding decent work at this time as the economy had taken a turn yet again, however she was thankful for the part time job she received down at the local market. She was fortunate as her finances were more than good, she knew she had her parents to thank for that.
Something constricted deep inside her chest. The memory of Jackie words to her about her money hurt more than anything she had ever experienced, she knew it was because Jackie was her love, and only that, only her - could ever inflict that type of pain on her. Tears threatened to roll out of her eyes.
'Not today' she thought to herself. Catherine drank the rest of her caffeine and headed through the park and straight for work.
"Is that Stark?" She heard someone whisper from behind her, "She got fired finally." The girl snickered to the group. Catherine didn't care for what they had to say, their opinions meant nothing to her, and she knew they just wanted her to react to the words, and Catherine was not going to give them that pleasure.
She had heard many rumors traveling around town about her since April, all of which came and floated around college students and staff, however she was use to them as she lived with the same experience during her job . And it didn't matter to her, she couldn't care less what they thought.
Catherine placed the rest of the man's groceries in bags, "That'll be $68.40." She swiped the card and began the next order.
She soon realized that the girls behind her were from Jackie's Psych study group, possibly the ones who claimed she was from a vampire mob family. She noted the nervous looking one and glared at her, she soon scurried out the stores' door.
"Where ya going?" the girl collected her things and ran after her friend
Oh how she missed Jackie so much. Catherine still held the '323' number in her phone closely, she wanted to phone her so much, however never was able to bring herself to. 'I hope it still works' she thought to herself.
'How are you ever going to know if you never try it?' her inner voice stated.
