Katie had only been at SPD a day and she was hanging with Z and Syd in their room when Syd accidently touched Katie's wrist and she screamed and ran out of the room. Z found her later in the girl's bathroom. Katie was crying and had a knife in her hand and her leg was bleeding so Z cleaned up the blood and bandaged her leg. Z later found Sky and told him what had happened; she also told him that Katie was at the beach, alone.

Katie had fled to the beach after Z cleaned up her cut. Z had asked her so many questions she thought her head would explode! I hope she doesn't tell Sky, Katie thought. Katie had been so scared when Syd had touched her were her dad had squeezed her wrist so hard that it had been a year and it still hurt when putting the slightest pressure on it. Katie knew Syd would never hurt her but her memories of the past three years told her that no one can be trusted, not even Sky.

Sky found Katie sitting by the water. Sky touched her shoulder and she screamed and grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground.

"Sky, I'm sorry I thought you were someone else!" Katie said

"Who'd you think I was?" Sky asked.

"No one," she responded.

"Z told me what happened. Why did you cut your leg? Why did you scream when Syd touched you?"

"It's none of your business," Katie said simply.

"You can trust me, I won't tell anyone."

Katie was silent for a while. Sky hoped she was thinking of telling him.

"Fine, my dad had squeezed my wrist so hard that even the slightest pressure hurts that wrist."

Katie avoided the first question. She had changed the subject every time he tried to ask her that question again. They talked about the weather, how Sky had become the red ranger, and what bands Sky likes now, Katie hadn't listened to music in three years so she didn't know who was in and who no one had heard about in a while.

"I can't believe you haven't heard music in so long! That was such a big part of your life. You couldn't in live a day without listening to music," Sky said, shocked she had lived this long without music.

"I know! I think I even forgot how to sing," Katie said sadly.

Katie used to sing all the time. She had the most amazing voice Sky had ever heard! Sky was very disheartened to hear this.

"Try, please!" he pleaded with her until she would.

She sang a few notes of her favorite song from a few years ago. Her voice sounded different. It wasn't happy as Sky remembered, it sounded so sad that he almost started to cry.

"Was I that bad?" Katie asked.

Sky couldn't talk, but he shook his head. Sky could always tell if Katie was happy or sad by the way she sang. She used to be happy all the time but now, he knew, she was sad even though she always had a smile on her face. He wished that Katie would tell him why she was faking being happy. He had to break down the walls she put up. Now all Sky was worried about was how many walls she had put up.
