I am soooo sorry that i haven't updated this story in sooo long. Please forgive me! Im also sorry that this chapter is a little shorter than the other ones but that's because i didn't want to write anything for the next and last *sniffs* chapter of this story. That's right... there is only one more chapter left. After i've finished this... i am going to get started on writing the sequel. I'm going to try and write as much as i can of it before i publish it so that updates won't take so long in between.

Enjoy!!!


Chapter 21

The smell of coffee woke Caitlyn up from her deep sleep. She was happy that she had not had a nightmare about yesterday. Caitlyn went to move out of bed but a strong hold on her prevented her from doing so. A smile spread across Caitlyn's face as she felt Nate's arms tighten around her as she tried to move out of bed.

"Where are you going?" a groggy Nate asked.

"I was going to go out and see everyone" Caitlyn answered as she once again tried to get out of Nate's arms.

"I don't want you to leave though" Nate whined.

"I'm hungry"

"You can wait" Nate replied. Caitlyn laughed.

"Get up with me then" Caitlyn said as she unwound his arm from her waist and got out of bed. Nate groaned before he also got up. The two made their way out into the kitchen where everyone was already eating breakfast. Mitchie was the first to spot them.

"Good morning" she said before taking a sip of coffee.

"Morning" everyone else chorused. Caitlyn laughed as she helped herself to a cup of coffee.

"Morning guys" Nate said as he also got a cup of coffee.

"You two are looking better" Penny observed. Caitlyn smiled.

"I feel a lot better"

"How's your arm?" Jason asked. Caitlyn looked down at her arm before looking at Jason.

"It's good. The cast is getting annoying now" Caitlyn said. Shane and Nate started laughing.

"Trust Caitlyn to say that" Shane said. Caitlyn just smiled as she took another sip.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" Penny asked.

"I think Caitlyn and I are going to take you out for lunch and then we can do whatever" Nate said.

"I say we just chill here with some movies or something" Mitchie said as she walked over to the bench to grab another slice of toast. Instead of returning to her old seat, she went and sat on Shane's lap. Shane smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Sounds like a plan" Penny said. The group smiled as they continued to eat their breakfast.

Caitlyn, Nate and Penny stepped out of the elevator and started to walk towards the car that was waiting out the front.

"Where are we going?" Caitlyn asked as Nate helped Penny into the car before helping Caitlyn in.

"That's for me to know and you to find out" Nate said. Caitlyn glared at him before it turned into a smile.

"Let's go then" Caitlyn said. Nate climbed into the car and told the driver where to go.

"Is it far away?" Penny asked. Nate shook his head.

"Not too long" he replied. Caitlyn nodded while she rested her head on Nate's shoulder.

After about 20 minutes the car came to a stop.

"Here we go" Nate said as he opened the door and offered to help both girls out of the car. Penny gasped as the sight in front of her. Nate had taken the girls to a small restaurant just of the city. It was situated on a small hill that allowed people to look over the city and because it was a clear day made it that little bit more breathtaking.

"This is beautiful Nate" Penny said.

"I thought that you deserved something like this" Nate said as he offered both of his arms to the girls. Both laughed as they linked arms.

"Reservation under Nate Grey" Nate said once they were all inside. The waitress nodded.

"Right this way" she said. Nate had managed to get table on the balcony with the most stunning view of the city. Nate pulled out the chairs for the girls as they sat down. They ordered their drinks and decided to wait a little while before they would order something to eat.

"You know I said you two had to take me out for coffee, not for lunch" Penny said. She noted how close Caitlyn and Nate were seated.

"I wanted to treat you to something special" Nate said. The rest of the afternoon was spent talking about old memories and what was to come.

Later that night after Nate had taken Penny back home; he decided that Caitlyn needed a special night. Nothing fancy but just the two of them. Nate drove them to a quiet park not far from the apartment.

"What are we doing here Nate?" Caitlyn asked as they stepped out of the car.

"I just wanted to spend some time with you" Nate replied as he wrapped his arm around Caitlyn's shoulder. They found a large tree and took a seat underneath it. For most of the night the two sat there talking about whatever came to mind as best friends do. Both knew that it was going to be hard for them to keep their relationship strong in this kind of life but neither wanted to lose each other again. In the months coming up would be one of the bigger tests for their relationship.

I am sorry that this is shorter than usual. Please review and i'll get the last chapter done as fast as i can!!
