AN: Hey there!! ;) - Sorry I'm so late, but I arrived to Scotland this sunday and I just had to settle in with a new family, new friends and a huge new school. And that's all in English which makes it a bit harder.. ;) I don't think I will update more than about 1 or maybe 2 chapters in a week (for any of my stories) in the future. (Can't sit at my computer all the time! - I'm here to experience!) :))

But I hope you enjoy this,, and I know it isn't that long,, but I just felt like ending it there ;P - you'll probably don't like that.. hehe - Cliffy,...

But (again) Review!! folks.. (that's what my English teacher says All the time!) ;D

As the dial-tone went off the second time, Caitlyn fast removed the phone from her ear and hung up. It wasn't the first time. She dumped down on her bed and buried her face in the pillows. Why was this so hard? She had been calling three times convinced that this was it, but when she heard the dial-tone she just refused. They probably thought that she was playing some kind of prank on them.

Caitlyn grabbed the phone again and dialled Nate's number.

"Hey baby." He greeted her as he picked up the phone.

"Hey." Caitlyn answered not as excited as Nate.

"What's up?" Nate asked a bit concerned.

"I've been trying to call his parents the last couple of hours, but it's just not working!" Caitlyn exclaimed.

"Why isn't it working?" Nate asked.

"It's just… I just can't bring myself to do it." Caitlyn said with a sad voice.

"It can be hard in the moment they're picking up the phone, but when it's done it's all going to be good," Nate said immediately turning into Dr. Phil, "You just have to pass that small doorstep and then you'll be happy you called."

"You make it sounds so easy," Caitlyn sighed, "The so called doorstep is very high and difficult to climb for me.

"Yea, I know…" Nate said turning back to Nate, "But you just have to try. You know I'll be there no matter what happens."

"Thanks." Was all Caitlyn could say.

"Do you want me to come over and hold your hand while you do the call?" Nate asked.

Caitlyn smiled and said: "I think I'll be okay."

"Okay, that's good, so go and make that call." Nate said with a smile.

"Yes, I'll do that." Caitlyn answered and hung up.

She could have been talking to Nate for hours, but she had to get back to reality. She looked down at the phone in her hand and sighed. She had to do this. For her own fault. She dialled their number for the fourth time and placed the phone by her ear. This was going to be her last try. She had to do it now, she couldn't hang up.

As the dial-tone came on Caitlyn wished that they weren't at home. But then again she would have to try another time. If she could just get over this doorstep as fast as possible it would probably be the best.

"Hello, it's Alice." A thin woman voice said.

As she heard the woman's voice Caitlyn couldn't speak. She had suddenly forgotten what she should say. She had planned it all out and she had been rehearsing in front of the mirror but now she didn't say anything. She couldn't say anything.

"Hello, is anybody there?" The woman said.

Caitlyn's voice was still out of order.

"Is this some kind of prank?" The woman continued.

As there was still no answer she said; "If you call again I will call the police."

"Wait!" Caitlyn suddenly said as the woman was on her way to hung up.

"What?" The woman asked again, "Look I really don't got time for this, if you have anything important to say then spit it out."

"Umm," Caitlyn said, her voice just started working again, "Are you Alex's mother?"

There was nothing but silence in the other end for a moment.

"Yes," The woman said slowly and with a lower voice, "But he doesn't live here anymore."

"I know." Caitlyn said shortly, "I wasn't searching for him I was searching for you."

"Do I know you?" The woman asked a bit confused.

"No," Caitlyn said, "And that's a mistake I want to change."

Caitlyn could just feel the relief of being on the other side of the doorstep.

After 15 minutes Caitlyn hung up with a smile on her face. Alice, his mother, had been happy to hear that Caitlyn was one of Alex's friends and that she wanted to meet her. She had been inviting Caitlyn to her house.

Caitlyn was proud of herself. She had finally talked to his mother and it felt so relieving.

She stood in front of Nate's door and as soon as she knocked on the door Nate was their opening it.

"Hey," Caitlyn said with a smile, "Do you have time for me?"

Nate smiled back at her. She was obviously happy.

"Caity honey, I'll always have time for you." Nate said and motioned for her to walk in.

"Watch what you're promising," Caitlyn said with a smirk, "You are a rockstar. Remember?"

"Yea, I totally forgot…" Nate said joking, "No I didn't… You know Caitlyn I would cancel any interview, concert or whatever if you needed to see me."

Caitlyn laughed a bit as she walked up the stairs with Nate. She sighed and said: "I really love you Nate."

Nate smiled at her and said: "I really love you too," as they walked into his room.

Once he had closed the door Nate put his arm around Caitlyn and gave her a hug.

"So how did it go?" He asked after kissing her forehead.

"Good," Caitlyn said with a smile, "I'm going to meet up with his mother tomorrow."

"That's good," Nate said sincerely, "So how did she react to the fact that her son had a secret girlfriend?"

"Hmm,, I haven't really told her yet," Caitlyn said, "I just said that I was a friend of him."

"Oh," Nate said, "I almost forgot.. I have some news.."

"What news?" Caitlyn said getting very curious.

"You are so curious." Nate said with a laugh.

"Tell me!" Caitlyn exclaimed.

"Okay" Nate said, "But first; are you ready to climb another doorstep?"
