Hey guys! I want to say this might be the second to last chapter…

But don't worry I will write more stories! You can check out my other ones if you'd like.

The next week of my life was torture. My whole weekend I couldn't get Cat out of my mind. On Monday I saw her at her locker. Making out with Drake. I cringed at the sight and walked away as fast as I could. I was expecting Rex to say something annoying. But then I remembered he wasn't here.

Tuesday wasn't a blast either. I remember Cat and I got assigned a singing piece together in vocal training. Drake immediately whispered in her ear and I assumed that he was telling her to switch partners. Sure enough after class she slowly walked up to the teacher and then I got partnered with Drake's old partner, Ellie.

During class the next day I saw Cat and Drake perform their song for the class. They were good I have to admit that. But the whole time I saw Cat eyeing me. Why?

Thursday was a blur to me considering that the only thing I remember was Cat.
But when Friday came I didn't see Cat at all. I didn't see her in any of my classes. When I was at lunch with my friends they noticed too.

"Hey umm... Where's Cat?" Tori asked curiously. Everyone looked at each other.

"She wasn't in geometry today." Beck said to all of us.

"Or in vocal training." I added sadly. Luckily no one noticed.

"I saw her walk into school today." Andre said. We all turned to him.

"You did?" I asked very curious. He nodded his head taking a sip from his water bottle.
"She walked into the building and looked at something. Then she ran away somewhere. That's all I know."

I was shocked. Why would Cat run off somewhere? She's always so peppy. Well, not this past week at least. She might not be hanging out with me anymore but I could see she was upset about something.

Everyone else was shocked as well. "I hope she's okay." Tori said with concern. After that we talked about something else for a short tine while all I could think about was a missing Cat...

"Oh shoot! Andre it's almost time for class." Beck said to Andre.

"Oh yeah!" Andre said remembering something.

"Why do you guys sound so eager for your next class?" Tori asked jokingly.

"Well, today Mrs. Coleman is handing out her cookies today and we want the best ones." Andre explained.

"That's terrible! You're going to class early just to get cookies?" Tori asked astonished.

"Do you want one?" Beck asked Tori.

She thought for a moment. "Go ahead guys." He said to them. They laughed as they walked away.

Tori then turned to me. "Are you upset about the cookies?" She asked me. I must have had an upset look on my face.

"No. I could care less about the cookies." I said back. She looked at me with concern.

"You like Cat don't you?" she asked me. That fought me off guard.

"What? No!" I say in a voice that clearly told I was lying.

She looked at me seriously. "Robbie…"

"Okay I do." I say giving in quickly.

She gave me a caring look. "This week must have been pretty rough huh?" she asked me. I nodded my head actually glad that someone understood. "Look, I know Cat and I'm sure she's not happy about this thing Drake made her do."

"You know about that?"

"She tells me everything. I know that Drake's not right for her."

"I don't think so either."

Just then the warning bell rang indicating we have ten minutes to get to our next class.

"Just hang in there." Tori said to me before taking her trash and leaving. I sat there for a few more minutes stuck in thought. Just hang in there. The words rang through my mind.

...

Knowing that my next class would be history I went to my locker to get my history book. As I was getting it I look out of my locker to see... Cat! Oh my gosh! She looked like she had been crying and her face was paler than usual. I turned back to my locker pretending to ignore her. However, she slowly walked up to my locker.

"Robbie?" Cat questioned me with a small voice.

"I thought you couldn't talk to me anymore." I said to her while closing my locker. I know I'm being rude right now. On top of that I refused to even look at her. But it's because I'm still upset about her choosing Drake over me.

"That was when I was with Drake." She tried to point out to me.

"What happened then?" I asked coldly. I don't know how she was taking this since I'm not looking at her.

"I left him Robbie." She said softly again.

"Well why did you?" I questioned obviously mad. "You chose him over me and you left him. Do you not understand all the grief I went through this week? I thought you said you might love him! Why did you leave someone who you thought you lo-"

"He hit me!" She yelled loud enough for only me to hear. I turned to look at her startled. I didn't see that coming. Her eyes were on the verge of crying once again and she looked so sad. My heart broke.

"Oh Cat I..." I trailed off not knowing what to say.

"Didn't know that he hit me?" she asked finishing my sentence. I slowly nodded my head. "It's okay Robbie I knew you didn't."

I opened my arms up for her and she went into them wrapping her arms around my neck and putting her head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around her waist. I could hear her taking deep breaths trying to calm down. This thing Drake did must have been pretty bad.
I pulled apart from her after a few moments and placed my hands on her shoulder. She looked at me and I looked at her. "Can you tell me what happened?" I asked her. She nodded her head and I took my hands off her shoulder.

"Okay, so yesterday after school I was with Drake at his house. We were talking and I wanted to tell him about that time we were all stuck in that cupcake." I chuckled a little at the memory and she smiled. The smile faded as she went to continue her story. "I mention your name once and his mood gets angry. He got mad that I mentioned you. I tried to explain that I was just telling my story but he didn't listen. He started going into these assumptions that we liked each other and that I was seeing you behind his back. I tried to tell him I'm not the kind of person to do that but then he slapped me. He slapped me really hard."

I stared at her with an open mouth. I can't believe Drake! I thought there was something wrong with him! Why did he assume Cat and I were still seeing each other?

"Then what happened?" I asked wanting to know.

"I left. I'm not the smartest person but I know a bad situation when I see one." I'm glad that Cat said that. She's so brave.

"What are you going to do now?" I ask her curiously.

"I don't know. I couldn't handle seeing his face today so I hid in the bathrooms." well that explains why she wasn't around today.

I decided to help her. "Okay, I'm going to be with you throughout school. This way you won't have to face Drake alone if he tries to hurt you again. Also, I just want to protect you."

She just looked at me a few seconds. Her eyes were glistening and he looked so happy at the moment. She then smiled a huge smile ad hugged me tight. "Thank you Robbie." she said to me with her face buried in my chest. "Thanks for always being here for me." I hugged back knowing that I got one of my best friends back. A friend I would do anything for. Even protect her.

Oh no! You all said that you didn't like Drake and I bet you guys hate him more now!

And the thing with Beck and Andre, I didn't know how to get rid of them. This was the best I could come up with…
