Chapter 2

"Sara, sweetie it's time to get up." Catherine said as she softly shook Sara's arm. "What…Why…Where?" Sara said during a yawn and stretching at the same time. "Sara we're at you apartment, sweetie, you fell asleep."

"Oh sorry about that Cath I guess I'm more tiered than I thought."

"No. No problem, now go get what you need."

"Oh yeah, I shall be right back."

About five minutes later Sara came back with a black back pack presumably filled with clothes. The drive to Catherine's home was fairly quiet but to the older woman's surprise Sara did not fall into sleep's grasp but instead just sat staring out the window into the beautiful sunset. By the time they arrived the sun had already sunk beneath the horizon.

As Catherine was pulling into her drive way Sara thought about something what about Lindsey was she invading was she just an annoyance she remembered what Catherine had said but she didn't feel right just waltzing in and saying I'm staying here until I feel better that just wasn't her. "Catherine are you sure that this wont be a problem?"

"Yes sweetie I'm sure if I wasn't I wouldn't of invited you."

"Okay but only if your sure."

Finally Catherine couldn't keep the question in any longer. "Sara why do you think you will be a problem?"

"Cath, I'm just walking in. I just feel like I'm invading."

"Sara!"

"My parents never cared about me if I was sick they just ignored me just like everyday. You care about me ten times more than they ever could have."

Catherine could feel tears burning behind closed eyelids but pushed them back and succeed to keep her cool. How could someone treat such a beautiful person like nothing at all. Does Sara know how much I care? Does she even care that I care? Many thoughts were running through Catherine's mind. How could she care so much for someone who she fought with on a daily basis? But at least Sara knew that she DID care.

She tried to think and ask more questions to herself but couldn't because she remembered that she was home once she was out of her own mind she quickly removed her seatbelt and got out of the car. Sara was about to do the same but before she could reach for the door handle the door was already opening. Catherine asked if she could help her but Sara just shook her head the older of the two was disappointed that she wouldn't accept the small offer but reluctantly said "Okay."

As they were walking towards the front door Sara became more and more nervous after every step. After Catherine opened the door and walked in Sara took a deep breath and followed cautiously behind her. Catherine stopped suddenly and turned to face the young brunette and reached for both of her arms near the elbow as soon as she made contact Sara tensed up and pulled away. Sara was wearing a long sleeved shirt she thought nothing of it until now since it was quite cold outside even for Vegas.

Catherine could feel something was wrong. She slowly reached for Sara's arm at first she pulled away but Catherine held her hand there and Sara slowly raised her arm afraid of what Catherine would think. Catherine slowly and gently rolled up the sleeve of her friend and was shocked at what she saw.
