Katelynn's POV

I wasn't sure what to do. Right before Brittnee and Robbie were gonna cut the cake my dad walked in, wiping a tear from his cheek. He joined Mia. I was leaning against Max in the front of the group. The whole family knew this would be hard on me and Danni. Max my twin, knew me best. He hugged me tightly. After Brittnee and Robbie cleaned the cake off their faces, they started cutting the cake for the guests. I shrugged Max's arms off my shoulder's and slowly walked to the girl's bathroom. I thought someone would follow me but no one did. I sat in the third stall, on the edge of the seat, trying to stop the tears. It was worthless to try, the tears fell anyway. I grabbed more toilet paper and dabbed my face. Sighing I gave up and let the tears spill over.

Michael's POV

I walked back into the building. Everyone was either waiting for cake or sitting and eating it. I couldn't see Katelynn anywhere so I started walking to the bathrooms. As I neared the entrance I heard the muffled sound of sniffles.

"Katelynn?" I asked through the door.

"Yes?" she sniffled softly. I didn't care that I obviously wasn't female, or that people might see. I barged into the girl's bathroom. There in the third stall was Katelynn crying her chocolate eyes out. The door was opened and exposed her weeping self. Her eyeliner and mascara were running and she had a pink smudge on her cheek. On her wrist was a large smudge from her lip gloss.

"Katelynn?" I asked again. The Katelynn I had meet a few days ago, was brave, strong, and didn't show emotions. The girl in a pink dress, wearing makeup, crying- this was not my Katelynn. My Katelynn was someone I was familiar with. Someone I trusted. Seeing here like this…truly shocked me.

"Who else? A giant talking pop tart?" she snapped, tears streaming down her pale face. She wiped off her cheeks again but the flow of tears ceased to stop. I walked into the stall and sat sideways by her feet. She had kicked off her high-heels, they were hanging off the door hook. I sighed.

"What's wrong?" I asked patting her knee. She wouldn't meet my eyes.

"Go away I don't want anyone to see me like this- let alone you" she muttered.

"C'mon Katelynn, I have a dry shoulder to cry on" I offered. She looked up at me, her eyes full of pure sorrow.

"It's Brittnee" was all she said.

"Do she do something?"

"No, she did nothing"

"Then why are you crying?" I asked kneeling in front of her.

"Because she's leaving and I'm just gonna miss her" she said tackling me into a giant bear hug. I fell back against the wall and almost hit my head which made her giggle. I was now sitting, with my legs stretched out underneath the other stall. My back was to the wall and my head leaning against. Katelynn was next to me curled against my side, crying, I just sat there and hugged her, not really saying anything. After a few minutes she lifted her head up and looked at me through her side bangs.

"Run out of tears?" I asked sympathetically. She shook her head a laid it back down on my shoulder.

"You do realize you're in the girl's bathroom right?" she muttered into my shoulder. I nodded.

"I'm aware of that" I said squeezing her shoulder. She sighed.

"I'm sorry, it's just Brittnee's like my older sister and I'm really gonna miss her, we leave to go back to California tomorrow" she sobbed. I went rigid under her arms.

"Tomorrow?" I questioned. She nodded. I felt the blood rush out of my face. "So soon?"

"Yea, I don't wanna leave either" she whispered. I sighed. She wasn't going to California, she was coming with me to New York. If she only she knew that. I stood and lifted her to her feet, she grabbed her high-heels. We walked over to the mirror. I leaned against the sink as she cleaned up. When she finished she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the emergency exit. We walked away from the building to a small cliff. Down hundreds of feet was the Colorado river.

"Katelynn why are we way out here?" I asked standing a few feet behind her, away from the ledge. She sighed as if she hadn't heard my question.

"I went canoeing with Mia down there, with a bunch of other girls and their moms. I had a lot of fun. I'm really gonna miss this place." she said turning to face me. She closed the space between us and gave me a giant hug. Her hair was brushing against my neck as she laid her head down. Small sobs escaped from her lips. "I'm…sorry-"

"No Katelynn, it's fine really. Like I said I have a dry shoulder to cry on. Although after this, I'm afraid I'll be a little wet" I smirked. She laughed into my shoulder. She pulled back to smile at me. Then the back door opened. She released me and dropped her high-heels in the gravel. I turned around. Brittnee was walking towards us with her veil in her hands.

"I gotta go now" she said frowning. Katelynn nodded and looked away. Somehow I knew she was crying again. Brittnee brushed my shoulder and gave me a sympathetic look before rushing to Katelynn. Brittnee held her weeping cousin so tightly it looked like it hurt and vice versa.

"I might ruin your dress" Katelynn sobbed. Brittnee shrugged.

"Oh well" she said tears streaming down her face. After a few minutes the groom came out and stood next to me.

"How long have they been like that?" he asked.

"Five minutes" I muttered swallowing the lump in my throat. He sighed and went over to tap on their shoulders.

"I'm really sorry baby, but we'll miss the flight" he said frowning. Brittnee nodded and stepped away from Katelynn. Then he turned to Katelynn and engulfed her in a giant hug. "Bye Katie, you and Max be good"

"We'll…try" she managed to get out without choking. Brittnee gave her one little quick hug.

"I'm gonna miss you a lot" Brittnee muttered. Katelynn nodded.

"You too" Katelynn said frowning. Then Brittnee and the groom turned and slowly made progress back to the building. When I looked back at Katelynn she was facing the canyon again with her eyes closed. She was taking deep breaths to steady herself. I walked up next to her.

"Are you ok Katelynn?" I asked putting my hand on her shoulder. She nodded once.

"I'm…yea I'm ok, I just…I should've worn waterproof makeup" She slumped down and sat in a pile of pink dress. I looked back up at the darkening sky.

"It getting dark out, you still up for tonight?" I asked shifting my weight to my right hoof. She nodded.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world" she said smiling a half smile. I nodded but the tone of her voice sounded like she wouldn't be there. I sat down next to her.

"Katelynn-" I started. She lifted her hand up silencing me.

"I may drown in a ocean of tears, but Michael, you are my rescue boat" she said opening her eyes. I smiled.

"I'll get to you as fast as I can" I muttered.

"Thanks"

"Do you like swimming?"

"I love it, you?"

"Not really" I shook my head. Her mouth made a perfect 'O' for a second.

"Can I have your number, you know just to call you" she shrugged. I nodded and fumbled for the small card in my pocket. I handed it to her. She squinted at the card for a minute before blushing tomato red.

"You ok?" I asked. She shook her head.

"I uh…can't really read it" she grinned sheepishly.

"Why not?" I asked, although I already knew.

"I'm dyslexic" she muttered biting her lip. I smiled.

"Oh well maybe Sam or Max can read it to you" I asked, waiting for the answer I was looking for. She blushed again.

"They're dyslexic too" she frowned. Jackpot, four half-bloods, four. If I got them to camp safely Grover would be so proud of me.

"Oh" was all I said, hiding my excitement.

"Katelynn, time to go" Max called. We stood and walked to the back to the building. Katelynn and her family said their good byes and we walked to the truck, even Max.

"My mom told me to come with you guys" he said, even though you could tell he didn't like saying mom. On the ride back over we sat in the back again with Max. Katelynn kept her eyes closed as the moon rose into the now dark blue sky. Katelynn's step-mom parked and we all hoped out. Violet was asleep in Mr. Rhodes arms, Katelynn looked just as tired. As her family walked towards the resort she pulled me aside.

"Eleven-thirty remember" she said with a stern look in her eyes. I nodded. She gave me one last hug before turning and walking in the direction of her family. As soon as they were all inside, Katelynn and Max being last, I started walking to our ledge. I looked at my watch. It was ten- thirty. So I had an hour to go. I sat at the ledge and just looked up at the stars. She said I was her rescue boat.
