The alarm clock sounded. As Katheryne rolled over to turn it off, she was greeted by an empty bed. She frowned at the sight of this because this meant Jon had already went to meet up with Tyler to go to rehearsal for Raw that night, and he hadn't woken her. Probably because she looked so peaceful and he didn't want to bother her.

Katheryne finally got the strength to roll out of bed and walk to the bathroom to shower before starting her day. As she walked into the bathroom to look at the mirror, she didn't see her reflection, but a note from Jon taped to the glass instead.

Didn't want to wake you. Going to rehearsal for Raw tonight.

I know you've been anticipating the storyline that I've been

keeping a secret from you. I'll be home around 1:30. Love ya.

- Jon.

Katheryne knew what he was talking about when he brought up the storyline. Roman was suspended for beating the living shit out of Sheamus and Randy Orton the week before. He hurt them and himself severely, causing them all to need surgery and putting them out of commission for what might be several months. Katheryne wondered what the fate was for the Shield, but Jon wouldn't spill.

As Katheryne undressed herself, she let her hair down out of her sloppy bun and stepped elegantly into the stream of water pouring from the shower head; water running down her smooth body. She was frustrated - sexually frustrated that is - Jon had been busy with wrestling a lot lately, with Summerslam Axxess and what not, he hadn't had the chance to love her like he wanted and craved to. She thought about Jon and resisted the excruciating urge she had to touch herself, just hoping when he got home tonight he wouldn't be too tired. She quickly washed herself and turned off the water, wrapping herself in a towel.

When she got out of the shower, she heard music blasting in her kitchen and the aroma of turkey bacon quickly hit her nose.

"Brody what are you doing here?" Katheryne questioned.

"You know I don't like when my baby sister is home alone, Kati," he said softly, trying to hide the fact that she somewhat hurt his feelings.

Katheryne rolled her eyes. Brody was always so protective of her - even more after their parents had died in a car wreck with Katheryne in the car. After that, Brody was the person who basically raised her. He made sure she always had food, water, shelter, went to a good school, had a steady job, and a good guy that made her happy. Katheryne loved Brody, but she didn't understand the fact as to why he thought she needed a babysitter at 25-years-old. Even though she got annoyed with him sometimes, she knew she was lucky to have a brother who cared about her so much, even if sometimes he cared more than she wanted him to.

"Brody, I was only alone for about an hour or so," she assured him.

"That's an hour too long, sis. Where's Mox?"

"He went to rehearsal with Tyler."

"Oh. Well, cool. What's your plan today?"

"What do you mean?" Katheryne looked puzzled.

""What are you doing until Jon gets back?" He questioned.

"Oh, I was probably going to do some cleaning, then go get lunch with Harper."

"Oh," Brody started, trying not to show the disappointment in his voice, "well have fun."

Katheryne quickly picked up on the sadness in his voice. She really hadn't included Brody much in her life since she started living with Jon, which Brody wasn't too happy about. Honestly, she felt bad, but she didn't mean it personally and he knew that.

"Brod," Katheryne began, "I didn't say you couldn't come."

"But-" Brody started as Katheryne quickly cut him off.

"Jon won't be back for almost five more hours. I need some bro and Harper time," she gently smiled.

He looked at her for a minute. He couldn't deny her goofy, heartfelt smile, "fine," he muttered.

Harper met up with Brody and Katheryne at Panera Bread, Katheryne's favorite restaurant next to Olive Garden. Harper was, and always had been her best friend. They had been friends since Harper moved in across the street from Katheryne's family when they were both just 2-years-old. They told each other everything, and kept each other's secrets from everyone else.

"Hey bitch," Harper laughed.

"Hey slut," Katheryne laughed back.

"Uh, hey," Brody spoke awkwardly.

"Brody! What a lovely surprise, I didn't know you were joining us," Harper spoke through clenched teeth.

Harper and Brody never really got along, but they didn't hate each other, they just really couldn't ever agree on anything. They were the epitome of opposites. If Brody was hot, Harper would say she was cold, even if it was 100 degrees outside. They were both stubborn, though, and that's the one thing they had in common. That, and their mutual dislike for Jon.

The three of them ordered food, and sat down, enjoying their time together, just the three of them. Like Brody, Harper hadn't seen Katheryne out and about just by herself either. They both blamed Jon for their lack of quality time together, but Katheryne always just made excuses that she was busy with work. She knew she should spend more time with Harper; she was her best friend after all. Brody was a different story; Katheryne wanted to slowly separate herself from him so that she could prove her independence to him so he wouldn't worry where she was all the time.

"So what are you doing without Jon at the house today?" Harper questioned with a full mouth of food.

"Classy, Harp," Katheryne giggled, "Anyway, I'm just going to clean, maybe go shopping for some new clothes."

"Clothes or clothes," Harper winked at Katheryne.

"Could you possible not talk about your sex life in front of me?" Brody sounded disgusted.

"All I said was-" Katheryne started as Brody cut her off.

"No. Harper knew what you meant and I knew what you meant. We get that you're having sex with a famous guy, Kati, but that doesn't mean shit to me and you know how I feel about that scumbag so if you'd please," Brody snapped as he picked up his apple and snagged a healthy bite from it, exposing the white flesh behind red skin. Katheryne and Harper sat there awkwardly in silence for a minute as Brody got up from the table and stormed off.

"What was that about?" Katheryne was puzzled.

"Well, you know Brody isn't a big fan of Jon, Kati." Harper's sentence trailing off.

"I know, but still. I really mean actual clothes, Harper, and besides, Jon really isn't a bad guy. I don't know why you and Brody think that," Harper heard the sadness grow in Katheryne's voice as she saw tears welling up in her eyes.

"Oh, Kati," Harper moved to hug Katheryne.

"He makes me feel like I have to love everyone he sets me up with and when I finally find someone that I actually like, he's never good enough for Brody, never," Katheryne tried to keep her composure since they were still in the restaurant.

"Kati, I think we should go," Harper began, "maybe go shopping like you wanted to? I'll treat," Harper offered.

"No need to treat me, but thanks for the offer," Katheryne smiled, "let's go find Brody and get the hell out of here."
