What's up people? The other night I had a dream about me, Cat, and Jade. Cat was trying to hide from the cops and Jade and I were trying to help her. I'm building this story out of what little I could get from my dream.

NOTE: 1. I'm not including myself in this story.

Mr. Byrd belong to me.

Enjoy, my readers! PC52.

Cat was feeding her hamster in her room when she heard a knock on the front door. She wondered who it could be, since her parents were out of town for a 3 months and all her friends except Jade were on a summer vacation or were wrapped up in jobs. Cat remembered that she'd planned a small get together with Jade at Cat's house. Maybe Jade had arrived early? As she opened her door, expecting Jade, she instead saw her neighbor Mr. Byrd.

"Oh, hiya," said Cat, kind of confused. She didn't know the man all that well and was surprised to see him at her house.

Mr. Byrd was a tall, pale skinned man with a toupe of dark brown hair. And he was wearing a suit and tie, his hands stuffed in his pockets as if attempting to hide something.

"Why, hello Caterina," he reached out a hand towards the red head and she hesitantly shook it. "Are your parents home?"

"N-no," Cat replied shyly. At the second he'd asked that a horrible feeling creeped up on her. Easing up some and sweeping away the feeling, she decided to talk a bit. "Would you like some purple lemonade?" She asked her neighbor.

"Yes Cat. Thak you," Mr. Byrd replied.

"Your welcome. Come in," Cat replied softly, turning around and leading the man into the kitchen where she got a medium sized tupperware picther full of translucent purple liquid and set it on the counter. But as she set it down she looke at her guest, who was reaching for something in his pocket.

"What are you doing?" Cat asked nervously.

"Oh, just taking care of business," he replied, pulling a knife out of his pocket and attempting to stab Cat, who quickly jumped out of the way and grabbed a kitchen knife from the knife holder.

Cat didn't know what to do, what to think. But she didn't have time to anyway. The attacker threw himself at her and she tried to cut his arm, in hopes of distraction so she could get get away. But when he jumped at her, she messed up aim and accidentaly cut his throat. As soon as the blade sliced his flesh, he fell to the floor, only to choke on his own blood and die wihthin seconds.

At that moment he'd stopped choking, Cat decided she'd check his pulse just in case. Nothing. Nada. But wait. Mr. Byrd...was dead. Cat...killed him. Killed. Killed. Killed. The word kept repeating in her mind. Why? What made this happen. Her mind was racing. She collapsed in the floor and sat against the cabinets by the sink. Pulling her legs up to her and burying her head in her knees, she sobbed hard.

Jade remembered that she needed to go to Cat's house. She hurriedly got dressed and since her red headed friend only lived a block away, she decided to walk. As she neared her friends home she wondered what kind of crazy stories Cat would have for her today. Jade smiled to herself thinking about her crazy best friend. But little did she know how crazy this story would be.

Jade rang Cat's doorbell and waited a few minutes. No response. Was her doorbell broken? Jade knocked a few times but to no avail. Noticing the door was unlocked, she quietly let herself inside.

"Cat? Caaaaat?"Jade called to the girl. Again, no response. But then she heard crying. Soft, quiet crying. Cat's crying. "Cat?! Cat!"

Jade ran toward the crying, wich lead her into the kitchen. What she saw shocked her.

"Cat..." Jade was at a loss of words as she stared at the dead body. And at Cat. Cat was covered in tears and blood.

"I'm so sorry Jadey..." Cat started. "He attacked me, and I tried to cut his arm and he jumped at me and I accidentally cut his throat." Cat sobbed even harder.

"Cat, Cat, Cat," Jade tried to comfort her best friend, though she was very confused.

Jade sat down next to Cat and pulled her into a comforting embrace. Cat's forehead rested on Jade's shoulder as she stroked her friend's red velvet hair.

"It's ok Cat," Jade tried to reassure her.

"No it's not! Jay, I killed him!" Cat protested

"I know. But it was an accident, it wasn't your fault." Jade was determined to make Cat cheer up.

Cat just cried. Jade stood up and used all her strength to pick cat up carry her to her bedroom. Jade gently sat Cat down on the bed and sat next to her.

"Cat?" Jade asked.

"What? Cat asked in return.

"We can't tell the cops."

"Kk..."

They hugged again, for a long time.

"Jade?" Cat asked, still hugging Jade.

"Yeah, cat?"

"Do you..." Cat trailed off. She couldn't finish. She couldn't know.

"Do I what?"

"Do you..." She had to say it. "...hate me?

"Don' t ever think that!" Jade demanded in a soft yet firm tone, looking Cat straight in her eyes. "Cat, I love you, you're my best friend! I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Me either" She replied. "Jade?"

"Yes Cat?"

"Thanks."

Jade hugged her tighter.
