"Andrew! Dean! Stop it!" Kat yelled at them as the two men threw their fists at the other. They were acting like stupid children instead of grown adults, and neither of them were listening.
"Sam!" she called, hoping that he would be of some assistance.
Within seconds of Kat calling, Sam was out there and helping Kat pull the two apart. The side of Dean's face was already bruised, and Andrew's lip was bleeding. Besides his bleeding lip, Andrew's eyes still seemed to be shooting daggers. "I can't believe that dick was trying to mess you up again after all he's done to you!" Andrew yelled, more to no one than anyone in particular.
"Oh, so now you're the one who has Kat's best interests at heart?" Dean yelled back, leaning against Sam's arm that was holding him back.
"Better than what you've been doing to her!"
"Can you two shut up?" Kat screamed, glaring in disbelief at them. "Since when am I someone that anyone has to take care of? You," she pointed toward Andrew, her finger jabbing his chest. "You can't just jump into my life and act like we haven't changed! Just because we were together, doesn't mean I need you're help.
"And you," Kat wirled around and faced Dean, who seemed to soften as her eyes bore into him. "We decided it'd be best for us not to be together. So that means that you and me are over! You have Lisa, and I have my life to live. I don't need you to survive."
The men actually seemed to have thought about what Kat was saying, and both their stances relaxed. Lily stood on the porch and watched as everything played out. There has to be more to the story besides what Kat sees, Lily thought to herself as her sister stalked off into the house.
Dean had gotten into his car and drove off by himself for a little while, and Andrew did the same in his truck. Kat had ventured off into her room and wouldn't come out for anyone, so Lily and Sam sat outside on the porch swing together as the sun set. "Remember when our lives were easier?" she asked him, finally being able to break her silence from after the fight. "Back when it was either Kat hated you or liked you?"
"Yeah, I like to think back to when the only thing I had to worry about Dean and girls was walking in on them in the motel rooms," Sam sighed, leaning further into the porch swing. "Why can't life be that easy?"
"Cause then life wouldn't be as exsiting," Lily laughed in reply. Her thoughts of Andrew's agenda seemed to change as constantly as Kat's feelings about Dean. First, Lily was sure he was just trying to be a stupid jerk when he called her asking about Kat's location, but now she was actually starting to think that he really does still love her. "Maybe it would be best if Dean went back to that girl he left."
Sam shook his head and looked further out into the setting sun. "He'll never go back to Lisa."
This puzzled Lily more than before. "And why is that? I thought that she was the girl of his "normal-life" dreams."
"She was," Sam agreed. "But he left her for Kat when I came back."
Kat had packed a bag with a CD player and her dancing shoes and had snuck out the window of her bedroom. Lily wouldn't try to distrub her if she knew what was good for both of them, and Kat had to get out of the house. So that's exactly what she did. There was an area not too far away from the house, within walking distance, that was covered by trees and open enough to move around easily. That's where she was going.
When she got there, she wasted no time switching into her dance shoes from her sneakers and removed her leather jacket. The late summer air chilled her skin, but once she'd start dancing, the chill would be gone quickly. The CD player on, the soft music of 'Cry on Command' by Gloriana started to play.
It had been years since Kat had last danced. After her parents death, she vowed to never do it again. And all the motions and steps that she thought were lost forever flowed through her feet just as easily as before. And soon Kat was lost in the music.
All the worries left her, and she was in a complete peace. So complete, she never noticed Lily walking up to her till her younger sister pulled her by the shoulders and wrapped her in a tight embrace.
