So I start school on Thursday, but I already have a lot of the last two chapters done. Hopefully I can finish this weekend, then I stop worrying about this story. To those who read my other stories, I'll try my best to work on them as much as I can. Thank you OhSnapItzLara, superstar1030, ElizabethWeston, redvelvet, and KnowMyNameNotMyStory. You guys are the best!

Disclaimer: I get sad sometimes when I think about how I'll never own Victorious.


Day 6: Both Happy and Sad

"Sorry, but since we went out to dinner and it's late, this one's gonna be a little short."

"That's okay. I had fun tonight at Maestro's. They have yummy steak and crab cakes and I love their lobster mashed potatoes!" Cat squealed. Jade let a silent tear fall, invisible to her young daughter. She just reminded Jade so much of her namesake.

"Okay, well this one's gonna be much happier than some of the others. Are you excited?"

"Yeah, I love excitement!" Cat said, making her mom want to break down even more. She knew the ending was coming soon, but was gonna be strong, for her daughter of course. She needed to prove to herself that she could do this and was so determined to.

Cat had gone to see both a doctor and a therapist. She had checked out both physically and mentally, which was a relief to all. The doctor told Cat to take things easy for a while so she wouldn't open some wounds on her back. The therapist told Cat that she could come in anytime she needed to and gave Cat her card. Everyone, especially Jade and Robbie, was thrilled that Cat was fine and decided to have a little party at Cat's house. They ordered pizza and each brought a movie to watch, then spent the whole day together after the appointments. Cat was beyond happy all day long, which made everyone else just as happy. They decided to have a sleepover and carried the party on into the night. The next day, everyone was helping Robbie move in, so they tried to go to bed early, well, early for a sleepover.

Cat and Robbie had decided to get back together, but this time take things slow. He would be moving into her father's room, so they didn't have to share. It still gave Cat the chill that Robbie would be staying in that room, but after a fresh coat of paint and with all new furniture, it was a little easier. They had both applied to many jobs for after they graduated, and were both fortunate to get well paying ones. They loved what they were doing and loved each other, and that's all that mattered for them.


A few weeks later, things were going well for Cat and Robbie. They both loved their jobs, and their relationship was still going strong. Their hours were flexible, so they could work whenever, and usually spent at least mornings and nights together. One day, though, Robbie didn't seem quite himself.

"Robbie, you seem off. Did something happen at work today?" Cat asked concerned.

"Well, I got a job promotion," Robbie told her sheepishly.

"That's great, but you don't seem happy at all." Cat pouted slightly wondering why Robbie wasn't jumping up and down.

"Well, yeah it's great, but I'll have to move England and I don't want to. We both know long distance relationships almost never work. I wanna be with you forever and if I go, that might never happen."

"Robbie, you need to take the job. If we're meant to be, we can pick things up when you get back. Just while you're gone, don't be afraid to meet other people. I want you to be happy."

"But Cat…"

"Please Robbie, just take it, take it for me," Cat said hopefully.

"Okay, if this is what you want, I'll go call my boss," Robbie told her slightly disappointed. He wasn't sure if this was the right decision, but if it's what Cat wanted him to do, he'd do it.


A month later, Cat drove Robbie to the airport. He'd be away for almost a year working in places like London and Birmingham. He promised to email Cat every chance he got so she could know how things were going. He'd miss her like crazy, especially since he wouldn't be home for the holidays, but Robbie promised he'd come straight to their house once he got back. They hugged for a long time, then Cat pulled away.

"You're gonna miss your plane soon," she told him, holding back tears. "Meet new people; don't let me hold you back."

"Cat, you'll never hold me back. I'll be back soon, before you know it." He gave her a smile, then boarded the plane.

Cat went home, cause, where else could she go. She called Jade and Tori and they had a girl's night. They went shopping and got their nails done. Inside Cat felt like a complete mess. How could she survive without Robbie for a whole year? But on the outside, Cat was her bubbly self. When she got home that night, she spent hours looking through pictures. They ranged from when she was a baby, up to a few weeks ago. Some were of her and Robbie; others were of Cat with her other friends. There were some of Cat and Jade when they were younger, and even some with Cat, her mother, and Bill. She only found on picture with her father, though. It was nowhere near a good picture, but she cherished it so much. Cat cried herself to sleep that night. All the emotions of the day, as well as the last few months just got to her.

"Only a year," she told herself. "Then you get to see Robbie every day, maybe for the rest of your life." Cat felt a little depressed now, but also hopeful, even just a little bit.

"But Mommy, why'd Cat tell Robbie to leave. Didn't she love him a lot?" Cat asked confused.

"Your aunt loved Robbie very much, but sometimes when you love someone, you need to think of them first," Jade told her. "You do things to make them happy, even if it makes you sad."

"Like when you really want the last cupcake, but you know it's Daddy's favorite kind, so you give it to him?"

"Yeah, almost like that," Jade said chuckling a little. "It's like the saying 'If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were'." Cat just gave her mother a confused look. "It will make more sense to you when you're older, okay?"

"Okay, I wanna fall in love like Cat and Robbie and you and Daddy," Cat said hopefully.

"Well we won't have to worry about that for a while. How about we go to kindergarten first?" Jade questioned, slightly amused.

"Yeah, I need to make lots of friends so I can find the perfect boy."

"And I'm sure you will," Jade said smiling. She really did hope her daughter got the perfect love story, just maybe not as hectic as hers and not with the ending of Cat's.


Sorry this is kinda short. I needed more stuff for the next chapter, and also felt like I need one more chapter than I anticipated. The next chapter will be EXTREMELY sad, I mean like I was crying writing it. So like I said, two more chapters, then it's done (it's about time). As a side note, this weekend I heard two little girls talking about Victorious and iCarly. They were just so excited to shout the characters names (they also put Beck and Jade together). It made me sad to think about it ending, since it made them so happy. Then I was listening to Ariana talk tonight on the radio and it made me want to cry. I just want ever to go back to being all unicorns and rainbows. Review and tell me what you think. Also if you've read this whole thing, virtual applause for you!
