Chapter 2

"This is sickening" Fiona spat out as she watched the two. She had no idea who the guy was and in Fiona's opinion, that made it worse. "Too bad all that happiness will be taken away" Fiona said as she stood up and started to walk home, knowing exactly what she could do to take away Caitlyn's happiness.


Caitlyn stepped back from Nate as she let out an involuntary shiver. Nate noticed and immediately took off his jacket.

"Here" Nate said as she handed it to her. Caitlyn shook her head.

"You're going to get wet though"

"I'm already wet. Just take the jacket"

"I'm as wet as you though. What's the point?"

"Caitlyn would you just take the jacket" Nate tried to say seriously but he couldn't help but laugh. Caitlyn had never taken the jacket from him before, why would this be any different. Caitlyn didn't mind the rain, opposed to all the other girls he knew.

"Have I ever taken your jacket when you've offered?" Caitlyn asked, smiling widely.

"No, but think of it now as a cute gesture from your boyfriend" Nate said, smiling when he saw the blush on Caitlyn's cheeks. Nate walked over to Caitlyn and placed the jacket over her shoulders.

"Just please take the jacket" Nate whispered. Caitlyn smiled softly and nodded. Suddenly Caitlyn's eyes went wide.

"My iPod!" she exclaimed as she ran over to where her iPod and speakers were lying in the rain.
"Are they okay?" Nate asked.

"I'll check them when I get home" Caitlyn said as she put them in the pocket of Nate's jacket.

"Can I walk you home? I haven't seen your family in a while" Nate said. The smile on Caitlyn's face seemed to drop.

"I don't want to go home just yet" Caitlyn said.

"Why?"

"I kinda blew up on them back there and don't really want to go back and face Fiona" Caitlyn admitted while blushing.

"What happened at dinner?" Nate asked. He was curious as to why Caitlyn was out here instead of at dinner.

"You really want to know?"

"Would I be standing out here in the rain if I didn't want to know?" Nate questioned. Caitlyn laughed.

"We would have been standing out in the rain for the fun of it" Caitlyn said. Nate sighed.

"Could you please just tell me?"

"Fine. Fiona threw a dinner party and turned me into some doll. When her guest asked me what I enjoyed, I was pretty much forced to say that I want to be a vet. Afterwards I was told to play the piano for everyone. Brendan kept looking at me and I heard Fiona telling Courtney that I didn't know how to look after myself and when they said that music was a waste of time, I lost it. I screamed at her before storming out of the house" Caitlyn said as she brushed her hair out of her face because it was sticking to her.
"Wow" Nate said after a while.

"I know. Welcome to my family" Caitlyn laughed.

"So… who's Brendan?" Nate tried to ask casually. Caitlyn immediately caught him on it.

"Why? Are you jealous?" Caitlyn asked, raising her eyebrows.

"What! No…. I'm… I'm not jealous" Nate stuttered. Caitlyn felt sorry for him but couldn't help but laugh. "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing" Caitlyn managed to say while laughing. She stopped laughing when she saw the smirk on Nate's face. "What are you doing?" She asked as Nate stepped closer to her. Caitlyn took a step back. Nate didn't say anything but kept coming closer. Caitlyn started to walk backwards but stumbled a bit in her heels.

"Nate seriously, what are you doing?" Caitlyn asked, confusion written all over her face. Nate shook his head and suddenly broke out into a run. Caitlyn squealed before turning and running away from Nate, or as far away as she could get in the heels. Within no time Nate caught up to her, wrapped his arms around her waist and spun around. Caitlyn squealed again.

"Nate put me down!" Caitlyn said. Nate placed Caitlyn back on the ground but didn't let go. When Caitlyn struggled to free herself, Nate just tightened his arms around her waist. Eventually Caitlyn gave up and leant back into Nate, sighing in content. Nate pressed a kiss to her shoulder and Caitlyn laughed.

"What?" Nate asked, thinking he had done something wrong.

"That tickled" Caitlyn said as she looked up at Nate. Nate turned Caitlyn around so that she was facing him. He leant his forehead against his. Caitlyn closed her eyes.

"I wish it could always be like this" Caitlyn whispered.

"Me too" Nate said. Caitlyn wrapped her arms around his torso and rested her head on his chest. A flash of lightning and a loud crack of thunder caused Caitlyn to scream and for the both of them to jump apart. Once it passed they both started laughing.

"Way to ruin a moment" Caitlyn said.

"I can think of a way to fix it" Nate said. Caitlyn raised her eyebrows.

"And how do you plan on doing that Mr. Rockstar?" Caitlyn asked. Nate said nothing but walked over to her, cupped her cheek and kissed her. Caitlyn readily responded to the kiss. They pulled back a few moments later.

"We really should get you home" Nate whispered. Caitlyn nodded and linked her hands with Nate's. They both started to walk in silence but it was a comfortable silence. Halfway there, Nate wrapped his arms around Caitlyn's shoulders while Caitlyn rested her head on his shoulder.

About 20 minutes later, a very wet Caitlyn and Nate walked up the porch steps of Caitlyn's house.

"Do you want to come and dry off?" Caitlyn asked once they reached the door. Nate was about to say no when a cold gust of air blew past them, making both of them shiver. Nate quickly nodded his head while Caitlyn laughed.

"I'll give you a warning now, Fiona might say some stuff so don't take any notice of what she says" Caitlyn warned him.

"I'm sure I'll be fine" Nate said. Caitlyn opened the door and the two quickly stepped into the warm house.

"Hello?" Caitlyn called out. No-one answered. Caitlyn looked at Nate and the two shrugged. "Bathroom's down this way" Caitlyn said as she began to lead Nate down the hallway.

"Where the heck have you been?" a voice said from behind them. Caitlyn and Nate spun around to see Courtney standing behind them.

"What are you still doing here?" Caitlyn asked.

"Giving Fiona some comfort. Who do you think you are? Just running out of here like that! We had no idea where you were, Fiona was worried sick and on top off all that, it was raining outside and you were dressed like that!" Courtney shouted at Caitlyn. Caitlyn rolled her eyes while Nate's draw dropped.

"Do you want to catch flies?" Nate heard Caitlyn ask him. He looked over at Caitlyn and she pointed to her mouth. Nate blushed and closed his mouth.

"There you are!" Fiona said. Caitlyn and Nate looked into the living room to see Fiona rushing towards them. Fiona engulfed Caitlyn in a hug. "You had me worried sick!" Fiona exclaimed.

"Sure" Caitlyn mumbled.

"You had us all worried there" Brendan said, now approaching everyone. Caitlyn stepped closer to Nate and grabbed his hand and held it behind them. Nate gave Caitlyn's hand a squeeze.

"Has the pain gone yet?" Caitlyn asked. Brendan face expression immediately changed into a glare which he sent Caitlyn's direction.

"What pain?"

"You've forgotten already? I will be happy to refresh your memory if you like" Caitlyn sneered.

"Enough!" Fiona said. She turned to Caitlyn. "I have had it up to here with you! I've done everything I can but you still don't seem to improve the slightest! I've been talking with your father and he agrees with me so in three weeks, we're shipping you off to school in England"

"What!" Caitlyn screamed.

"You can't do that" Nate said. Everyone turned to him.

"Says who?" Fiona asked. "Who are you by the way?"

"He's my boyfriend" Caitlyn answered through gritted teeth.

"What's your name?" Courtney asked.

"Nate Grey" Nate replied. Everyone in the room seemed to fall silent.

"How on earth do you know Nate Grey?"Courtney asked.

"We've known each other for years" Nate said.

"Why is it such a big deal?" Fiona and Brendan asked. Courtney sighed.

"Do you honestly not know who he is?" Fiona and Brendan shook their heads.

"He's Nate Grey, singer from the band Connect 3, you know, the really famous one." Courtney explained.

"How on earth did you become friends with someone famous?" Fiona asked.

"Does it really matter?" Caitlyn asked.

"Yea, because it's you" Fiona said in a disgusted tone. "You know what, pack your things, we're leaving tomorrow" Fiona stated.

"You can't do that!" Caitlyn said, feeling tears come to her eyes.

"Actually I can" Fiona said, looking back at Courtney and Brendan with a smirk on her face. Caitlyn was about to say something but sneezed instead.

"You alright?" Nate asked. Caitlyn was about to answer but sneezed again.

"Go change" Fiona said before turning back to Courtney and Nate. Caitlyn sighed and turned around. Nate started to follow her but Fiona stopped him.

"This is your queue to leave" Fiona said. Nate nodded and turned to Caitlyn. He kissed her forehead.

"Don't get too sick alright" Nate told her. Caitlyn nodded while she blushed. Nate quickly kissed her cheek before walking towards the door.

"Don't even think about asking for an umbrella" Fiona said as Nate walked passed her. Nate nodded and kept walking. He looked back at Caitlyn before walking out the door. Once Nate was gone, Fiona turned to Caitlyn.

"I hate you" Caitlyn said before she walked to her room.

"Why do you think I'm sending you to England?" Fiona said to herself.


A few hours later, Caitlyn was sitting on her windowsill in some trackies, singlet and oversized jumped that Nate had leant her years ago. Caitlyn sniffed and used the sleeve to wipe away her tears. She looked at the floor to see the brochure's from the school she was being sent to. It was an all girl's school that pretty much only offered options that they felt was suitable for ladies. The only music instrument they had was either a piano or violin. No music producing. Her eyes wandered over to her now dry iPod and she smiled as she remembered the dance. Caitlyn took one more look out the window before she crawled over to her bed. She curled up and a few tears made their way down her face. A sudden tapping on the window snapped her out of her reverie. Caitlyn looked up to see Nate standing on her balcony. Caitlyn quickly got up and opened the window.

"What are you doing here?" Caitlyn asked.

"What, no hi?" Nate joked as he climbed through the window. Caitlyn smiled and wrapped her arms around Nate's neck.

"And how do you propose I say hi to you?" Caitlyn asked. Nate wrapped his arms around Caitlyn's waist and pulled her close.

"I'm pretty sure you're smart enough to figure it out" Nate replied but couldn't help the grin that made its way onto his face.

"I am smart, aren't I?" Caitlyn said. Nate looked at her and knew she was stalling.

"Would you just kiss me already?" Nate asked. Caitlyn smiled and pulled his head down to meet hers. After a few minutes they pulled away. Nate looked around the room and saw the bags on the ground.

"You're really going huh?" Nate asked as he walked over to Caitlyn's bed.

"Yea" Caitlyn sighed as she lay down next to Nate. Nate started to run his hands through her hair. "That's nice" Caitlyn said while she closed her eyes and smiled softly.

"What time are you leaving?" Nate managed to ask.

"Eleven" Caitlyn said quietly. "I wish I could stay with you though" Nate thought for a moment before he lay down next to Caitlyn, still running his hand through her hair.

"What if I could find a way for you to stay with me?" Nate asked. Caitlyn opened her eyes and looked at Nate.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not sure yet but if I could find a way before tomorrow, would you come?"

"Yes" Caitlyn said. She looked at Nate with her eyebrows raised. Nate simply shrugged before kissing her softly.

"Caitlyn!" Fiona's voice called out. Caitlyn and Nate's eyes widened.

"Get under the bed" Caitlyn whispered to Nate. Nate quickly rolled off the bed and rolled under the bed just as Fiona entered the room.

"Is there anything you want?" Caitlyn asked in a sweet voice.

"To never see your face again" Fiona answered.

"The feelings mutual" Caitlyn said while glaring at Caitlyn. "What are you doing in here anyway?"

"Giving you your plane ticket" Fiona smirked when she saw Caitlyn's face drop. "Be ready by 11:00 sharp" Fiona told her as she walked back out of the room. After the door closed, Nate came out from under the bed. He looked at Caitlyn and saw her staring at the plane ticket in front of her. Caitlyn looked at Nate and immediately started to cry.

"Oh Caity" he said as he hugged Caitlyn tightly. Nate had never seen Caitlyn look so vulnerable.

"I really don't want to go" Caitlyn said. "They're going to try and make me into someone I'm not"

"I have an idea" Nate suddenly said.

"What?" Nate shook his head.

"Can't tell you. I've gotta go but I'll see you in the morning" Nate said as he released Caitlyn and quickly kissed her.

"Um… bye" Caitlyn said once Nate had disappeared through the window. She closed the window before collapsing on her bed and falling into a restless sleep.


Caitlyn trudged down the stairs the next morning at 10:30. She was rolling her suitcase behind her and making it thud on every step hoping it would annoy Fiona.

"Would you cut out that racket?" Fiona yelled from the kitchen

"Why, is it bothering you?" Caitlyn asked with a smirk very visible on her face.

"Yes!"

"Then no!" Caitlyn said and continued to walk down the stairs in the same way.

"How on earth could your mother put up with you" Fiona commented as she walked into the hallway.

"Don't you dare bring my mother into this" Caitlyn hissed.

"Weren't you the cause of her death?"

"Stop it!" Caitlyn yelled as hot tears made their way down her face.

"She went out looking for you one stormy night when you ran out and was hit by a drunk driver"

"STOP!" Caitlyn yelled.

"Hopefully this school will teach you how to behave properly. You've wasted half your life getting nowhere, exactly like your mother" Fiona said.

"Shut up!" Caitlyn yelled. "You don't know what you're talking about! My mother did not waste her life!"

"Then how come she never did anything with her life? She might have had the chance to but then you came along" Caitlyn couldn't believe what Fiona was saying. She refused to cry in front of her though, because that would be another sign of weakness and Caitlyn didn't want to seem weak in front of Fiona.

"Go grab the rest of your things. I suggest you take anything you don't want thrown out because we're changing your room into a personal gym" Fiona smirked.

"You can't do that!" Caitlyn said.

"What are you going to do about it? You're going to be in England" Fiona said. Caitlyn opened her mouth to say something but thought against it. She sighed and turned around to grab some more things. Caitlyn walked back downstairs a little bit later with her guitar and another bag full of her things. Everything else in the room she didn't need to take with her and she didn't care if Fiona threw them out.

"Car's here" Fiona called from outside. Caitlyn sighed as she walked outside and stood by her luggage. A large black car pulled up in the driveway and a tall snobby looking woman opened the passenger door and stepped out.

"We are here to pick up a Miss Caitlyn Geller" she said in a rather tired voice.

"Yes. My name is Fiona Geller and this is Caitlyn" Fiona said as she pushed Caitlyn forward.

"My name is Mrs. Kingston and I'm the Headmaster at the boarding school you shall be attending" Mrs. Kingston said. Caitlyn shuddered as she heard Mrs. Kingston speak.

"Stand up straighter girl" Mrs. Kingston suddenly said and Caitlyn realized that she was talking to her.

"Oh…um….sorry" Caitlyn mumbled as she straightened herself up.

"Don't mumble either"

"Sorry" Caitlyn said again.

"I think it would be best if you did not speak again" Caitlyn didn't say anything and just nodded.

"This one is going to take a lot of work" Caitlyn heard Mrs. Kingston say to Fiona.

"Tell me about it. I've been trying for years and nothing seems to be working. We didn't want to have to resort to this but we had no choice"

"That's like most of the girls at the school. Most come in and are anything but a lady but after about 2 years, the change is incredible. I've seen girls who wanted to play all these manly sports go on and become designers and such"

"Wow. That is an improvement" Fiona commented. Mrs. Kingston nodded and was about to say something else when a large bus pulled up in front of the house.

"What in the world?" Fiona asked. Caitlyn was confused until she turned around and saw the bus. She was even more confused when Nate stepped out of the bus, followed by Shane and Jason. All were wearing big grins on their faces. Nate walked straight past Fiona and Mrs. Kingston and walked right up to Caitlyn who still looked confused. Nate picked her up, spun her around and kissed her quickly.

"What are you guys doing here?" Caitlyn asked once Nate had put her down.

"You're coming on tour with us!" Nate said.
