Chapter 3: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

A/N: Sorry for the wait!

So now that we know that Mr. Ohio's name was Josh on the show, that's the name I'm going to go with. However, my version of Kat losing her virginity still varies from the show's explanation.

P.S. Changes was epic. Until Patrick said the wrong thing. Again. And Kat overreacted. Again. Hopefully these two crazy kids can work it out in the last two episodes.

Bianca thought she felt the whole house shake as Kat slammed the door shut on her way into the Stratfords' home.

She was sitting at the kitchen table working on a geography assignment; a project in which she'd managed to incorporate a ton of sparkles and large colourful illustrations, when she witnessed her older sister pass her like a tornado, and head straight up the stairs without so much as a word.

Bianca wasn't always up to date with the latest current events' crisis that Kat was strongly opposed to, but she was 99% sure that this particular outburst of negative energy was because of a certain tall, dark haired, motorcycle driving bad boy named Patrick Verona.

And if there was anything Bianca was an expert on that she could help Kat with it was boys.

And dating.

And dating boys.

And the rules of dating.

Bianca could thank her numerous viewings of She's All That, Sixteen Candles, Clueless, and re-runs of Beverly Hills 90210 for her great expertise. She also liked to think that her relationship with Joey was going pretty well. They cared about each other a lot, and looked totally gorgeous together.

Treading carefully up the stairs, Bianca made her way to Kat's room, knocking on the door. Hearing an annoyed grunt from the other side of the door, Bianca took this as permission to enter, finding Kat sprawled across her bed face down in a pillow.

"g'way..." Bianca heard, Kat's head still buried from sight.

"Kat..." Bianca said softly. "Is something wrong?" Kat pushed herself up and turned to look at Bianca giving her an incredulous expression.

"No..." she said bitingly, rolling her eyes, "What gave you that impression?"

"Geez Kat..." Bianca started, "I'm sorry for being concerned", the blonde girl got up to leave until stopped by Kat's questioning.

"Do you think I'm ... a bitch?" Kat asked honestly, "do I overreact like all the time, am I like totally unreasonable?" Bianca sat back down on the bed, unsure how to answer the question, but looking on with sympathetic eyes.

"...Did Patrick say something to you?"

"What?" Kat said defensively, eyes looking shifty " No! This is not about Patrick!"

And then...

"Alright, maybe it is, a little."

"Just a little?" Bianca asked, a smirk appearing on her face, then turning serious. "Did you and Patrick have a fight?" Kat sighed and laid back.

"Yes...and I'm beginning to think that I'm a complete basket-case right now."

"Kat, What happened?" Bianca laid down beside Kat on the bed, looking at her with a knowing expression. "Did you guys have sex, or what?" Kat looked at her with a shocked expression, blushing a little, then avoiding her eyes.

"What?...I don't know what you're talking about."

"C'mon Kat. You were walking around all Saturday with a dazed expression on your face, and you didn't make one barb at me at dinner when I started debating whether Damon or Stefan was the hottest brother on Vampire Diaries. By the way, I still stand with my tie decision." Kat snorted and rolled her eyes. "Plus, you shaved your legs."

"What and the only reason to shave my legs is for a man?" Kat retorted indignantly.

"Actually," Bianca replied. "Yes. From your own mouth, actually. I seem to recall a conversation that went into detail about the history of hair removal and women, and how it was all an advertising conspiracy and how there's a complete double standard with men and women like a lot of things, and that I quote 'the only reason women shave their legs is because they are brainwashed from a young age that men will not find them suitable to mate with, and then what will they do with their lives?'" Kat raised an eyebrow.

"Oh." Kat relented. "Did I say that?"

"Yep."

"Okay, so maybe we were going to have sex. But, we were responsible. We got tested, and we were going to use protection. And we were in a monogamous relationship"

"Were?" Bianca inquired.

"Yeah, were. We didn't. We had a huge fight."

"How come?" And then after a short pause. "Was it cause of Josh?" At the mentioning of his name, Kat shuddered. She didn't like hearing his name. Kat looked down at her hands, embarrassed.

"He said he loved me."

"Who? Josh?" Bianca looked confused, but still sympathetic. "I know, and I'm sorry."

"No." Kat looked up wearily at Bianca, gaging her reaction. "Patrick." Bianca's eyes widened, and Kat could see excitement twinging in her eyes as the girl began to talk a mile a minute.

"What? Oh my god! Patrick Verona said he loved you! That's amazing! I mean that's totally unexpected! I mean, he totally doesn't seem the type! I mean he's your type for sure. But I mean, I heard he's a cannibal, and his mother's a Mexican druglord! Not that criminals and cannibals are your type! But I mean I doubt those rumours are true, he totally seems harmless. Well, you know, not of the human flesh persuasion. I mean wow, Oh My God! This is amazing! Isn't this amazing!"

Kat cringed and started to try to calm her sister down.

"No, actually. It's not amazing!" she raised her voice over Bianca who had begun discussing her plans for the sisters' double weddings. "Would you stop? You're being ridiculous!"

And then quietly, as Bianca still talked bubbly about flower arrangements and cufflinks.

"I threw him out." Bianca stopped, and sat back down on the bed and took back her place beside Kat.

"What?"

"I threw him out." Kat said, resigned. And Bianca felt her double wedding dreams bursting at the seams.

"But...why?" Bianca asked quietly. "Don't you love him?"

"He didn't mean it." Kat explained. "Guys never mean it when they are about to get laid."

"Kat..." Bianca said sadly, "Just because Josh didn't mean it, doesn't mean Patrick doesn't mean it. I mean no offense, but not many guys would sit through Dad's birthing video not once, but twice."

Kat just gave Bianca a sad look. Bianca rested her head on her sister's shoulder.

"We hate Josh, but we like Patrick. He cares about you, I know he does. If he says he loves you, he means it."

"What if he doesn't? What if tomorrow he changes his mind?"

"He won't."

"You don't know that Bianca. Do you really think Molly Ringwald and Jake Ryan ended up together forever?" Bianca repressed her hurt at the idea that they didn't, and looked her sister in the eye.

"Does it really matter?" Bianca said. "That moment outside the church at the end of Sixteen Candles is one of the greatest romantic moments of all time." Kat sighed heavily.

"I really screwed up, didn't I?"

"You can fix it." Bianca said matter of factly, and Kat wondered how she could be so sure.

"This morning he was all over some other girl right in front of my locker..."

"Your locker? Sounds like he's trying to make you jealous." Kat scoffed.

"Please." She rolled her eyes.

"Trust me. This is high school dating 101." Bianca proclaimed, and Kat was reminded of Patrick uttering similar words a few months earlier.

"What should I do?"

"Trust me. I have a plan." Bianca smiled to herself, and Kat was quickly regretting asking for Bianca's help.

"No boom-boxes on his lawn, playing 'In Your Eyes'" Kat warned, and Bianca's face lit up.

"Actually that wasn't my idea, but it's totally brill, so I don't know why you're so against it."

Kat rolled over and put her face into the pillow again. It still smelled like Patrick.

"You can learn a lot from teen movies." Bianca insisted, listing off the various wooing techniques showcased in the flicks.

"Jake Ryan was a date rapist." Kat said quickly before burying her face back into Patrick's scent. She knew she was being totally pathetic and un-feminist right now, so she had to get that barb in.

"He is not!" Bianca squealed, hitting the back of Kat's head with another pillow, it bouncing off the bed and onto the floor. "Jake Ryan is the perfect man."

"Just tell me your stupid plan."

Kat didn't want to love Patrick Verona. But it was getting harder and harder by the minute.

A/N: Sorry no Pat this chapter, but I thought I should get some sisterly bonding in.

Please Review! And I will update soon! Ciao!
