So I believe this story is finished. And I was wrong, there are more than four shots left.

I think this may have been the point when I started having trouble with the story. Some of my inspiration and flow left. I think it was because I didn't want to finish the story so it was subconscious stalling.

Thanks again for the alerts and stuff.

Sloth13: You flatter me lol. Also, it's funny how you've asked me to update soon twice even though I update daily and just did a three in one update lol. And if you get my subtlety, do tell.

Catlover10808: lol well that didn't tell me anything.

I laid on my bed thinking. I was supposed to be at Tori's practicing our song. But I couldn't go. Not after what happened. Cat gave me a sad look when I said I couldn't go. I can tell she still thinks I don't want to be around her. I gave her a half hearted reassuring smile. It didn't help much. I shut my eyes, mentally kicking myself for the hundredth time. I felt tears sting my eyes. I felt overwhelmed. Maybe I should tell Cat. Maybe that will help the turmoil I feel inside. But it's so scary. Not just that there's a good possibility she'll reject me, not just that she might not want anything to do with me afterwards, but that I have to bare my soul. I've opened up to her before, but it was so hard and it never was about being madly in love with her.

I sat at the lunch table before class. I still hadn't come to a decision. I was staring into space, drumming my fingers on the table. I didn't t notice anyone had come sit at the table at first. Until I felt someone's stare on me. It was Tori. She was looking at me sympathetically. I would have told her to fuck off, but I had no energy to. And I knew what she was doing. So I silently accepted her company. We sat there in silence until the bell rang.

At the end of school, as I gathered my things in class, Cat walked up to me and asked, "Are you going to Tori's to practice?"

I nodded. She smiled a soft small smile. Her usual big happy go lucky smile had disappeared since yesterday. Which had already started to show up less since I started to be distant with her. I hated knowing I was the reason. Before I could stop myself her name escaped out of my mouth. She turned around. I stared at her. I didn't know what to say. A smile, still not her usual smile, but a genuine smile appeared on her face. A smile that said 'You're silly.' And it made my heart flutter. I retuned the smile. And I felt some of the tension dissipate. "Let's go practice," I said and we walked out.

While leaving school and at Tori's house I had the urge to hold Cat's hand. As we practiced our song, I was glad it didn't require much eye contact. Every time we faced each other and our eyes met, I felt myself choke. Luckily the song still flowed smoothly out of my mouth. Once we finished our song Cat did a little cute jump and applauded cheerily at our perfect performance. Everyone, except me, followed her exampled and applauded proudly. I rolled my eyes. Of course we were going to kill it. Yet, I still had to fight off a smile. Cat hugged me and I froze. Remembering our current situation, she pulled away as if I was on fire and mumbled a "Sorry."

I stood there stupidly for a moment. Until I heard her ask Tori, "Can we have ice cream?"

She sounded so hopeful and cute I couldn't keep the smile off my face.

"Wow, the Wicked Witch is smiling and no one's dying. Did the Wizard give her a heart," 'Rex' said.

One of these days I'm going to call a psychiatric clinic to come for that creep, I thought as I walked over to Robbie. I snatched the stupid puppet out of his hands and flung it across the room. "No, but maybe you should ask him for a brain," I yelled in Robbie's terrified face.

I straightened up and walked over to where my bag was on the table. I grabbed it and stormed off.
