Jason was intensely watching the TV when a knock came to the door. Nate heard Caitlyn groan as she had to move. Nate followed her. She opened the door smiling at something Nate said to her. Her smiled drop when she saw who was outside. Two police officers.

Tonight around 11pm your parents were involved in an accident on their way back from the airport starts Officer Tom. They're ok right though they are going to be ok says Caityln as she felt Nate slip his arm around her waist.
I am sorry but, your parents were both killed your father died in the accident and your mother died at the hospital I am sorry says Officer Carlson. The two officers leave. Caitlyn felt the tears begin to fall. Nate wrapped his arms around her as she collapsed in tears crying. Her crying woke up Shane and Mitchie as well as got Jason's attention. Caitlyn says Mitchie as she walks toward her friend.

Mitchie put her hand to her mouth. Shane wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. Caitlyn held onto Nate's shirt crying. A little while later she had fallen asleep. I'm gonna put her in her room says Nate as he picks her up. He walked up the stairs and headed for Caitlyn's room. He placed her on her bed and pulled her covers over her. He kissed her head and headed back down the stairs.
Mitchie looked at Nate. How did this happen asks Shane? They didn't go into explaination but, what is she going to do she doesn't have anyone says Nate. She has us says Jason. Yes we have plenty of room at home says Shane. One step at a time says Nate as he looks at them. Suddenly he heard screaming.
Caitlyn yells Nate as he runs up the stairs. He runs into her room to find her tossing and turning. Caity he says as he reaches her. She opens her eyes and wraps her arms around him. Your ok your ok I am right here he says as she starts to cry. Stay with me says Caitlyn. Of course he says as he lays next to her and wraps his arms around her as she falls back into a steady sleep.
(Next Morning)
Nate woke up to find Caitlyn gone. He looked around her room to find her sitting at her desk with a picture of her and her parents. She was clearly crying. Nate stood up and walked over to her and knelt down next to her. Hey he says. Why them why did they leave me says Caitlyn as she cries. I don't know I really wish I could answer those questions for you but all I know is that everything happens for a reason but, Caitlyn you are not alone you have me you have Mitchie and you have Shane and Jason. None of us are going anywhere says Nate as he takes her hand. Thanks she says as she hugs him. Anytime he replies.
They walked down stairs to find Shane,Mitchie and Jason asleep in the living room. I'll make the coffee says Caitlyn as Nate lets go of her hand long enough to wake his brothers and friend up. Nate says Mitchie as she opens her eyes. Morning coffee's in the kitchen says Nate as he wakes up Jason and Shane. Kitchen he mumbles to his brothers as he heads into the kitchen to check on Caitlyn.
She was sitting at the counter with a cup in her hand. He realized that it was her mom's coffee mug she had bought when she was on tour with Connect 3 Last year. She loved this cup because she thought she was losing me and when I came home with it she was so happy that I still thought of my mom as my number 1 best friend as well as my mom and now I don't have her what am I suppose to do Nate. How do I live without my parents asks Caitlyn?
I don't know I honestly don't but, I will be with you every step of the way says Nate as he hugs her. Thanks Nate she says as she leans into the hug. Shane walked into the room. Have you looked outside asks Shane? No why asks Nate? There are camera's everywhere says Mitchie as she walks in. Why asks Caitlyn as she looks at her friends. They found out about your mom and dad and its news worthy because you're an up and coming producer who happens to work with and be friends with Connect 3 says Jason as he walks in. Did you just guess all of that asks Nate? No its all over the paper this morning says Jason as he hands Nate the paper that had a front page story about the accident. It was a picture of the completely destroyed car. Caitlyn eye caught it. Nate looked at her. You don't have to see this he says. No I need to what does it say asks Caitlyn.
That your parents were stopped at a red light when a drunk driver blew the intersection says Nate as he reads it. The guy was taken into custody a little while later says Nate. He fled the scene asks Mitchie? Yes says Nate. Caitlyn couldn't handle it anymore she took off running and ran out of the house and got in her car and took off. Where is she going asks Mitchie? I know you guys stay here says Nate as he sneaks out the back into his car and follows Caitlyn.
(The beach)
Caitlyn was sitting on a wall crying. She had been there for a few minutes just staring at the water. Caity says a voice. Nate she says through her tears. He walks up to her and wraps his arms around her. She cries even harder as he holds her. Shh your ok you're going to be ok says Nate as he holds her. Do you remember when we found this place says Caitlyn a few minutes later? Yea we were 12 we had some crazy idea to run away because we were mad at our parents says Nate as he looks out at the water as he sits up on the wall. That fight seems so dumb now says Caitlyn. We were 12 says Nate as he looks at her.
I know she says as the tears come back. Nate pulled her toward him so her head was against his chest. She started to cry again. Nate just held her.
(Few hours later)
Nate had called Shane to come get Caitlyn's car. Caitlyn was asleep. He had put her in the passenger's seat of his car. Shane showed up. Mitchie was in the passenger seat. She got out of the car and took the Caityln's keys from Nate and got into Caitlyn's car. Nate and Shane got back into their respective cars and headed back toward Caitlyn's home. Nate just looked at her the sadness on her face was present and all he wanted to do comfort her but, he knew that he needed to be there for her.
