I'm back! I'm so sorry for insanely long wait. It has really been quite a year. Too much to fit in an author's note. But, I graduate from high school this coming Friday, which means I'll have a few months off, and hopefully more writing. I'm going to try updating on a regular basis, so if I give myself deadlines and structure I should update more often. I'm also starting a new fanfic, so check it out if you can! Now, here is chapter 2 of Inescapable.

Inescapable Chapter 1 - Making Plans

Mitchie sipped her wine thoughtfully. She curled into a ball on the comfortable couch in the living room of her apartment. She held back tears as she reached for the remote on the glass table between the couch and the television. Powering it on and randomly flipping channels, she released the breath that she had held in for far too long - the emotions she had held in for too long – and wept uncontrollably, dropping the remote and placing the delicate wine glass on the table before wrapping her arms around herself. Her shoulders heaved with the sobs that shook her body.

So much for forgetting…as hard as she tried, that name would always be in her mind. That night- those feelings- had lingered all these years. No, it seemed that she would never forget.

"Hello?" A familiar voice answered questioningly.

"Hi, Casey, it's Caitlyn. I was just- I was returning your call?" Caitlyn played with the button on her jacket as she spoke "Yea, uhm, I actually have tomorrow open and was wondering if I could accept that offer for lunch..."

"Oh, of course" Caitlyn could hear the joy in the other girl's voice, "what time is good for you? I'm open anytime after 11:00."

Caitlyn rummaged through her laptop bag for her appointment book, cracking it open to the right page. "Well, I have an appointment with a new band until about 11:30. Would lunch at noon be okay?" Caitlyn popped the cap off her pen, preparing to write Casey in.

"Actually, noon would be perfect." Casey answered, "How's the little Italian place by the recording studio? I've been there a few times after recording, they have wonderful bread."

"Sounds great", Caitlyn scribbled the details into her appointment book, smiling and saying her goodbyes before shutting her phone. She slipped off her jacket and tossed it with her keys, heading for her room.

Hope you enjoyed chapter 2! Expect more soon, I really hope to get somewhere with this and not keep those of you that are actually reading this waiting. Please, please review, it keeps me going. Thank you!
