Sara finally detached herself from Catherine and laid on their bed panting. God was she grateful they decided to take two days off. She looked at the alarm clock on the side of the bed, it read 11:30 pm. She would have never got into bed this fast or this early if it wasn't for Catherine. A certain blonde snuggling up to her side disturbed her silent thoughts. God, this was bliss. Catherine's naked form snuggled against Sara; the warmth radiating of each other's bodies was enough to send them into a peaceful slumber. It had taken Sara and Catherine three years to finally get the house back into a normal routine. Lindsey no longer woke up in the middle of the night screaming her lungs out and Sara seemed to have some kind of strange release after Derek Tyler's death. Things were suddenly perfect again, Sara had moved in literally straight after Lindsey had gotten out of hospital, and surprisingly, she had turned into an incredible second mom to Lindsey. Sara moved her hand to softly stroke Catherine's head lovingly while the other hand brought the bed covers over them to enclose their warmth.
"Cat?" Sara purred.
"Yeah, baby?" Catherine replied lazily.
"Do you mind if I call Nick and ask him about Faith? I'm sorry, its just really, really bothering me" Sara said with a sigh.
Catherine rolled over onto her stomach and looked at Sara. Sara's breathing hitched, she loved seeing Catherine in this state. Hair disheveled, her body covered in a thin blanket of sweat. But most of all, she loved the fiery passion burning in those blue eyes. "Humph. Fine" Catherine snorted.
Sara rolled her eyes and chuckled. She sat up and reached for her cell phone on the bedside table. "It won't take a second, I promise" Sara said with a wink. Her fingers eagerly dialed Nick's number and she brought the phone to her ear.
"Nick Stokes" he answered.
"Hey Nick? Do you remember working a case with me; it involved a teenage girl, black hair, really pale. Her name's Faith?" Sara asked.
"Faith Carter! Yeah, we worked that case last year. Poor kid, assaulted by one of her classmates because someone found out she was gay?" Nick said with an aggravated sigh.
Sara gulped, she could remember now. "Thanks Nick, that's all I needed to know" She hung up and put the phone back to the side, her eyes suddenly felt heavy and all the bad feelings of that case crept back once more.
"Sara, baby? What's wrong?" Catherine asked, coming back from the closet with an old, baggy shirt on and she passed one to Sara.
Sara turned to Catherine and took in a deep breath. "Faith Carter. Assaulted by one of her classmates because someone found out she was gay," Sara said bitterly.
Catherine looked at Sara shocked. "Christ, that's terrible – wait, Faith?" Catherine's eyebrows were raised and her head tilted to the side. Either way Sara found it cute.
"Yeah, It's probably the reason why she's so quiet and barely looked at me when we were in the kitchen" Sara mumbled, her arms stretched upwards as she put on the old shirt and snuggled back down under the covers in the darkness. She brought Catherine under with her and draped an arm around her lazily.
"Night, Cat. Love you" Sara whispered into Catherine's ear before closing her eyes.
"Love you too, babe" Catherine whispered back.
Lindsey finally shut her laptop and shuffled her feet to her wardrobe. Her hair was still a little bit wet from her shower but she didn't care. Her whole body was too tired. Her day hadn't been eventful. The only interesting thing was meeting Faith. Lindsey smiled as she pulled her hair back into a lose ponytail for the night, she wiped away the little make up she had on and snuggled under her lilac bed covers. She starred up to the ceiling and sighed, her mind wandered back to Faith again. She was a pretty girl, a really pretty girl if it had to be said. Suddenly, her cell phone began to blare out its latest annoying ring tone.
"Louise, what do you want?" Lindsey asked. Her friends always seemed to enjoy calling her at ridiculous hours.
"Ryan broke up with Claire! He's single!! Do you think I've got a chance?" Her overly bouncy friend asked.
Lindsey rolled her eyes and yawned "Uh, sure" she said dully. She didn't really know what all the fuss was about.
"Jesus Linds. You've never had a boyfriend; you have no interest in Ryan what so ever! What's wrong with you?" Louise ranted.
"I don't know, look. Can I go to bed now?" Lindsey whined.
"Sure, but before you go. I heard you were hanging around with that new girl after school today. I'd watch her if I was you" Louise spat.
Lindsey raised an eyebrow and walked over to her window, "What the heck is that meant to mean?"
Louise started sniggering through the phone; Lindsey didn't really know why she classed Louise as a friend. She was a total bitch and hated the fact that her Mom had a girlfriend. "Seriously? Don't you know? Oh, my god! Apparently she got attacked in her old school because she was gay. Make sure she doesn't try to make a move on you, eh Lindsey? Not that you'd mind" Louise bitched then hung up without a single goodbye.
Lindsey growled under her breath and slammed her phone shut before throwing it onto a pile of clothes. God, how could Louise be so pathetic? So what if Faith was gay! It wasn't like she would make a move on Lindsey or anything.
"Oh, Shit" Lindsey mumbled before burying her head into her pillow and making an attempt to try and get some sleep. Although she doubted she could actually get to sleep very much. Maybe she could pretend to feel sick and stay home from school tomorrow. She'd have to make it really convincing if she was going to fool her own mother and know it all Sara, She laughed into her pillow. She couldn't exactly be horrible to Sara anymore. In fact, they'd both grown closer over the past three years, they both connected in a strange and tainted way. They had both been touched and nearly destroyed by Derek Tyler.
