While Sara had gone to support Ellie, Catherine and Lindsay discreetly left the car and walked to the nearest diner. Sitting down in a secluded booth, Lindsay rested her chin on her folded arms and looked at her mother.
"Mom?" Catherine locked eyes with the younger version of herself and smiled sadly at her, "What's gonna happen now?"
"I don't know honey, I really don't. But it'll be okay, it'll work out, right?"
"Right." Lindsay said decisively, making her mom smile proudly at her daughter, she's been through a lot, but was still an amazing, beautiful young woman. Catherine thought, making her smile widen into a grin, "Why're you lookin' at me like that?"
"'Cause I can," Catherine said, sticking her tongue out at the giggling Lindsay, "But seriously Linds, I'm so proud of you. I couldn't wish for a better daughter,"
"Yeah, well, I blame the parents." Lindsay grinned, it had been a while since they had some mother-daughter time, and it was... Nice. It was then that Catherine's cell started to ring, she looked at the screen and told Lindsay it was Sara.
"Hey honey, yeah we're at a diner... How's Elle?... Good, I'm sure Linds'll be happy to hear that... Okay, yeah, it's within walking distance from where we were... Uh-huh, it's called... Um" Catherine squeezed her eyes shut, trying furiously to remember the name of where they were,
"'That Diner'." Lindsay said,
"'That Diner'... Yeah, no we haven't eaten... Are you bringing Julie with you?... You are? Well I suppose you can't leave her, can you? Okay, see you later... Love you too." With that she put the phone down, wearing a worried expression. Before Lindsay could ask what was wrong, Catherine spoke, "You think Ellie's mom will be okay with..." She trailed off, looking uncertain,
"Y'know what, Mom? From what Elle has told me, you got nothing to worry about,"
"Huh?"
"Elle said that she's never seen Sara as happy as she is when she's with you, hell, when she's talking about you, you can just tell how happy she is, how loved up she is. So, Ellie's mom will try to split you up, cause trouble, but it's who she is, don't let her get to you, and you and Sara will be fine." Before Catherine could reply, the bell above the door chimed and two brunettes walked in, one supporting the other, Julie, Catherine thought, sighing and rubbing her forehead lightly.

Okay, I lied, I didn't get the chapter out, but it wasn't my fault, my brother bullied me off the computer… Bad times. So here it is, I'm sorry it's short, but I'm trying to get the next one out, in someone's POV, I have an insanely busy week ahead, so it might be a little tight on the update front. Sorry x
