Did you know that forty percent of Americans pee in the shower? Yeah, if you don't have your own bathroom, try thinking of that every time you take a bath.

It's actually where I am right now. In the shower. The perfect thing to wake me up on a Saturday. It's around twelve or so, so it's not like its early. Either or, I'm enjoying it.

"Tori!" Well, I was enjoying it.

"Ugh, what Trina?" I say annoyed.

"What are you doing?" She asks through the door. Is she serious? Hearing the shower isn't enough for her?

"Taking a shower" I say with a sigh. I hear the door unlock followed by the sound of heels against the tile. Did she just unlock the door… and walk in?

"Cool" she says.

"Trina, get out, what do you want?" I ask.

"Chill I'm just fixing my make-up"

"And your bathroom wouldn't have worked?" I ask.

"Nope" She says sliding the curtain over quickly. I jump and immediately hunch over to cover myself.

"Trina!" I yell clearly pissed off and slightly confused.

"Relax I've seen you naked before" She says nonchalantly.

"Yeah, and a lots changed since then" I say trying to grab the curtain.

"Cat's here" she says smirking.

"WHAT!" I yell standing up straight. Trina left the door wide open! I scramble out of the shower and slam the bathroom door.

"What the hell is your problem?" I whisper-yell.

"Jesus Tori, relax. She's downstairs babbling on about bunnies with antlers or cupcakes with eyes or something." She says looking in the mirror again. "And you right, a lot had has changed" She says pursing her lips and looking at me. She'd better learn to sleep with one eye open.

She taps my nose then struts out of the bathroom. Great so Cat's here unannounced and I'm naked. As appealing as that may sound, I'm freaking out. Why on earth would she come over randomly on a Saturday? Poor girl must be delusional.

Well then, better get dressed.

. …. …. …. …. … … … …. ….. … … …. . . … .. . .. .. .. ….

I can't do it. One step left. The last step to officially being downstairs and in Cat's view. It's that fight or flight moment, when you need to do it but you just don't. I wish someone would just push me so I wouldn't have to make the decision.

Right on cue, as if the universe heard me, I feel a rough hand on my back. I said push, not launch. I completely clear the last step and superman into the living room. My face easily meets the hardwood and I grunt at the impact. As I start to push myself up my beloved sister steps on my back to get to the kitchen. Does she know she's wearing heels? And that she may have just severed my spinal cord?

"Ew Tori get off the floor. That's unsanitary" she says. What I would do to kick her in the face right now.

I roll over and am met by Cat's bright eyes looking into mine. She's just standing over me, bent over, with a smile.

"Hi Cat." I say forcing a smile.

"Hi Tori" She says excitedly. She's wearing a brightly colored dress today… I know this because she's bending over and I can slightly see down it. Her boobs are a lot bigger than they seem. Just in case you didn't know…

"So… you wanna help me up?" I say extending my hand. She gladly accepts it and pulls me up. Ouch. I wince as my back proves to be suffering from Trina's high heels.

"Aww, is your back ok?" She says genuinely concerned. She looks like she just saw a kitten get kicked.

"Yeah… I'm fine" I say. I guess my face didn't match my statement because by the looks of it, she doesn't believe it at all.

"Come here. I've been told I'm amazing at this." She says leading me to the couch. That statement was totally innocent… but my mind… is totally not.

She sits down and I sit in front of her. She slowly presses her fingers into my back and I instantly drop my head. She is amazing at this.

"Oh my god…" I moan.

"Feel good?"

"Mhmm" I barely get out. Ya know… getting a massage sounds a lot like sex. Jesus where is my mind today?

I groan as she hits a sore spot and she eases up a bit. "So what brings you here today?" I ask.

"Oh nothing. I just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out." She says.

"Just us?"

I don't think I've ever hung out with Cat just one on one. It'll be nice to see what she's like without any distractions… then again, Cat just being Cat is already a huge distraction.

"Yeah" She answers.

"Ok… what do you want to do?"

. … ….. …. …. … ….. ….. ….. ….. ….. ….. ….. …. … … …

Not a bad day. Cat and I went to the mall and just hung out there for a while. My brain is tired. I swear there is never a pause with this girl. One thought interrupting the next, can't stay focused on one thing for very long, and very, very touchy feely. Our arms were always touching when we walked, we were always touching when we were sitting, and she hugged me like twenty times today for no reason.

Just like now for instance. She's about to go home. We're on my door step and she's hugging me.

"Cat?" I say.

"Yeah?" She says stepping back with a huge smile. I want to smack her so she'll frown for real for once. Seriously, she's always smiling or pouting. It makes me want to punch a baby. Wrong on so many levels but true.

"Why are you so… touchy feely?" I ask. Please don't get all offended and make me pull out something sparkly again.

"Well, I was just born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it." She says. Well said. She sounded almost normal there… and she had a real smile on. Like serious smile, if that makes sense.

"Well… I'm gonna go inside" I say. She nods eagerly and watches me the whole way in. When I get the door closed I turn around and lean back on it. Not a bad day. She literally talked the whole day and I got very little in. But it was still good I guess.

She can't sit still either. She's always moving around or changing positions. Or she'll just be jittery. She's almost more fun to watch then TV.

So how did day 1 of trying to understand her go? Horrible. I didn't understand anything. The closer you get the more she shuts down and when you feel you're finally getting through, she resorts to confusion. Maybe I'll never get her. Maybe she doesn't want me to. I don't see why she wouldn't want to be. Everybody needs someone who just gets them. Someone who's on the same level.

I wonder if anyone's ever even tried for her.

. … ….. … ….. … … …. ….. ….. ….. ….. … …. ….. ….

Found it. The only time she's calm. Peaceful. The only time you can't tell that there are a million things going through her head.

When she's asleep.

I woke up about ten minutes ago and can't help but watch as she sleeps. Creepy? Call it want you want. But it's adorable. It makes me want to hold her… well, more than I already am. Her head is on my chest and her arm is thrown over my waist. You know how cute cats are when they sleep? I'm beginning to think Cat is more than an ironic name for her. But I'm still enjoying it.

Wait…

I specifically remember saying goodnight to her last night, and falling asleep alone. Her creeper factor… just skyrocketed.

"Cat" I say shaking her. She groans and cuddles closer. Any closer and she'll be inside of me. Not a bad thing really… Gah, Tori, focus. "Cat" I say shaking her again.

"Ten more minutes" She mumbles. Ok. I can do ten more minutes- Tori, no.

"Cat, why are you here" I say slowly. She mumbles something else.

I sigh. "Wait… is that the ice-cream truck I hear?" I say with fake enthusiasm. She immediately jolts awake and strains to listen.

"I don't hear him" She says pouting.

"Yeah, neither do I. What are you doing here?" I say. She slowly sits up then rubs her eyes.

"I came over earlier and your mom let me in, I wanted to see if you were awake. I tripped when I was walking up the stairs but don't worry, I didn't cry. So anyway you weren't awake, so I decided to wait till you were but I guess I fell asleep but now your awake and so am I. So what's up?" She says easily in one breath.

"Uh… nothing. How long have you been here?" I say. I am so confused.

"Since six" She says with a huge smile. It is way too early for my face to make any sort of expression. Yes, it may be 1:00Pm on a Sunday afternoon but just try to tell my face that.

"Six a.m.?" I ask. She nods eagerly. Wow. I'm not sure how to handle this situation. I'm weirded out but I'm also happy she's here. "Ok…" I trail off.

"Well I'm gonna go home. See you tomorrow" She says getting up.

"What? But you just got here"

"I've been here seven hours. I'm gonna go make cookies. Bye!" She says prancing out of my room.

Did you understand any of that? I didn't either. The more I'm with her, the more impossible it gets.

However, the experience alone was nice. So that's what it's like waking up next to Cat. Pleasant but also confusing.

She came over at six a.m. then slept next to me until 1 just to ask "what's up". She is not making this easy for me in any way whatsoever.

.. …. … ….. ….. ….. … … …. …. … … ….. ….. …. ….. … ….

Why on earth have I made this my mission? What's my motivation? Maybe she just intrigues me. Maybe I'm the crazy one. Whatever this hold she has on me is, this pull, I guess it's the motivation. So either way I have no idea why I'm doing this.

"Hey Tori!" I hear explode from behind me. My books fly out of my arms and I jump so hi I swear my head hit the ceiling. Honestly, her voice can explode. All is quiet then BOOM! I'm pretty sure there's even a shockwave.

I turn around and am blinded by her bright smile. "Hi… Cat" I say trying to lower my heart rate. It's now that I notice that Robbie is right behind her.

"Wanna come to lunch with us?" he asks.

"Uh yeah. Let me just find my books and I'll be right there." I say scanning the floor for my poor books.

"Ok well, we'll see you out there. Come on Cat" he says gazing at her with a dreamy smile.

Everyone knows that he has a thing for her. You'd have to be blind not to see it. Well… blind or Cat. The poor girl has no idea that he's head over heels for her. He won't admit it but with all the ridicules things he's been doing for her or just by the way he looks at her, you can tell this boy's in love. Even Rex knows. Rex is actually the other reason everyone else knows. Damn thing couldn't keep its mouth shut.

"No, we can help her find her books. Come on it'll be fun!" Cat says belting out this random song about Zebras and searching for my books. Robbie's smile drops and a look of disappointment makes its way to his face. Sorry bro, didn't mean to take your moment.

Robbie stopped bringing Rex to school ya know. Yeah, that's big. He blames it on already having too many things to carry, but we all know that it's because Rex doesn't like Cat. If Robbie was willing to give up Rex for Cat, then he's serious about her.

I can't help that little surge of jealousy that rushes through me when he flirts with her however. Sometimes he makes her laugh and I wish it was me who brought that smile to her face. Robbie's the only person who's close with Cat. I would say that he understands her but… I know he doesn't. I think he sees it as more of a turn on than anything. He likes how eccentric she is and how sarcasm just flies over her head.

Personally I don't think he gets it. I honestly believe that there's this unfathomable girl that Cat trapped inside and she won't let her out. I mean, Cat seems so sweet and innocent, but I want to get to the real girl who has seen and lived things that she doesn't wanna talk about. It sounds cruel but… I guess I'm just sick of it. I hate hearing people say that she's crazy, or stupid, or weird. I want to prove that she's more than that. I still don't know why I do.

And I don't know why she doesn't either.

"Hey!" Cat says making me jump again. "I found your books, and your script of "They're Not Gonna Get Us". Did you know I'm auditioning too?" She asks. I think she's vibrating.

"Really? That's awesome Cat" I say with as much enthusiasm as I can muster. She never gets the lead. She always tries but never gets it. Even through the harsh words of the critical teachers, she just smiles and tries again.

"Yeah. Wait… we can help each other practice for the roles! I'm not busy ever and I can bring brownies and I can-" She goes babbling on.

Robbie just looks defeated. Again sorry, but a chance to spend time with Cat, one on one, practicing for a play all about romance, yeah I'm not gonna pass that up.

I tune back in to what Cat's saying so I can answer.

"… then my Dad started yelling at me but it wasn't my fault because I specifically told him that if we could all fly-"

"I'd love to" I say cutting her off.

"Really? Cuz I think it would be awesome to fly too. Like we wouldn't have to walk." She says excitedly.

"No Cat, I meant about helping each other memorize lines and stuff" I say.

"Oh" she says dazed. "Well that too. But I think flying is the top priority" She says furrowing her eyebrows.

"Can we eat now" Robbie says a little impatiently.

"Yay food!" She says grabbing my hand and dragging me behind her.

Oh Cat, what am I gonna do with you?

… …. ….. ….. ….. …. ….. …. …. ….. …. ….. … ….. …

Hello everyone. Ok, let my just start off by saying that I know this chapter is literally full of nothing. Sorry I jumped around so much. I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going with all this. I just kind of wrote out of anticipation. So… now I'm finding a cause. Bear with me. Hopefully it didn't suck too badly. I promise I can and will do better.

Thanks to all three of you who reviewed… yeah, so not feeling the love.

Also, for now this is going to be in Tori's POV. I may add someone else's later. Not sure yet.

I'm a filthy liar and a heathen for bringing you this chapter when I was clearly not supposed to. Shhh, don't tell anyone.

Till we meet again, review. Tell me what you think.

A.Y.P.
