ATTENTION ALL! NUMBER 15 IS MY LUCKY NUMBER SO EXPECT GREAT THINGS ;) I was going to break this into two chapters, but decided against it. You're Welcome!

After the qudditich final, everything was a whirlwind. At first I thought I was in an alternate universe, because the twins were actually studying before their OWLS and Oliver barely talked about qudditich as he studied for his NEWTS. I had exams to study for as well, but they didn't necessarily determine my future like they did last year.

Packing was bitter sweet as usual, but I finished it as early as possible during the evenings so I could spend the days outside. The weather was perfect all week leading up to our departure, so I was always outside reading or hanging out on the far side of the lake. Angelina or Alicia usually joined me, but since it was the last day before we leave they had to finish packing. I was enjoying the solitude, but felt a little lonely as I looked out over the lake. I wonder how the giant squid deals its loneliness. He's always alone.. I went back to reading, and barely even noticed when someone sat down next to me a while later.

I glanced up and smiled at my qudditich captain, but couldn't stop the pang of sadness I felt as I realize he won't ever be here again with me. He's not even my captain anymore, technically. We leave tomorrow, and then he will be busy working for the qudditich team. I'm happy for him, but I know from my brother that qudditich is a time consuming job. When he gets home from practice he will be starving and dead tired, so there isn't much time left for childhood friends like me.

He smiles at me and then looks out towards the lake, "It feels odd that I will never come back here after I leave tomorrow."

I sigh, "It's weird to think about it now, because it's all you know. Once you start working, it will make perfect sense."

He looks back over at me with an amused expression, "You always have a way of saying things that makes sense to me. Are you all packed?"

I nod, "Yeah I've been all packed for awhile. I like to be able to enjoy the weather, so I pack a little before going to bed each night. Ang never does, and always gets mad when I'm done and can be outside."

He nods, "That sounds like her. Did she beg you to help her?" I smile at him, because we both know she did. He pauses and runs his fingers through his brown hair to get it off of his forehead. I know as soon as he looks back down at me, it will fall back. "Anyways, I was hoping I would find you today, because I probably won't see you tomorrow with all stuff I have to do. I'm giving your birthday present early, because I know my life is going to be crazy when I get back home. I will have to go to my signing ceremony, go find a flat in England, and training camp will start. I wish I could see you on your birthday, but I doubt I will. So here.. I hope you still have room for it in your trunk."

He holds out a wrapped, square, blue parcel with a nervous smile. I smile in excitement, and hurry to take it. I start to rip off the paper, and open the box as he watches me. I reach in and soft material meets my fingertips. As I pull it out, the navy-blue shirt has two crossed golden bulrushes and looks very similar to a shirt I already have; besides the word Keeper under the Puddlemere logo. I flip it over, and across the shoulders on the back "WOOD" is in gold writing. "Wow, thanks Oliver! I didn't know they were making you one yet."

He smiles at my reaction, "I actually bought the very first ones for you and my mum. I hope you wear it to at least one of the games. I know you have to wear Kevin's too. I hope you like it."

I laugh and give him a hug, "I love it! I'll wear it to the first match I go to that you play. I promise. Thanks again Oliver."

I lean back against the tree, and look back to my shirt in awe. How many girls are going to be dying to buy this shirt once the season starts. The new, young, hot, star keeper. These shirts will be flying off the shelves. I glance over to Oliver and am surprised to find him watching me. "I'm going to miss you Kates."

"I'm going to miss you too Ollie, but soon enough you will be too busy to remember to miss me!" I smile at him sarcastically.

He shakes his head, "I don't think so."

"Oh I know so." I point at my shirt. "I bet this will be the number one jersey sold this season. All the girls are going to want the new, sexy keeper's shirt on."

He raises one of his eyebrows and smirks, "Sexy keeper, eh? That's the first time I've heard that from you Miss Bell."

I blush as I realize what I said, "That's what all the fan girls will be thinking, is what I'm trying to say. Don't let it go to your head already Wood. I know the real, crazy you."

He sighs and puts his hand over his heart, "And here I thought you were going to say you are going to be one of my fan girls."

I laugh, "As if! You will have enough of those on your own."

"Do non-fan girls write to lonely qudditich player friends?" He asked trying to look innocent like the twins after a prank.

I stand up and pull him up to his feet. It's about time to head in for lunch, "Of course I'll write you. I will have to get your signature somehow after your famous."

He rolls his eyes, "The sarcasm coming from your general area right now, is just too much."

"Yeah, but you will miss it tomorrow when you are sitting with the other 7th years on the train. How depressing. Let's go get lunch. I'm so hungry I could eat a treacle tart from Hagrid."

..

The train ride home was fun as usual. The twins were back to their full of energy ways now that they weren't studying. We played exploding snap nearly the entire way back, and I felt a little like the 5th wheel with the two almost couples.

I didn't see Oliver until I was leaving the platform with Kevin, and Oliver yelled about seeing him the next day at the pitch. I looked back so see Oliver looking at me. I smiled and waved as Kevin led the way through the crowd. When would I see him again?! I tried to ignore the anxious feeling at that thought, but it didn't work.

...

"Seriously though, sometimes I forget how enormous your mansion house is Katie," Angelina said with an awed voice as we laid out by the pool.

The summer is over half way over, and the July heat made being outside unbearable without a body of water nearby. I had been busy visiting my Grandmum, helping Ella get ready for the baby, hanging out with my friends, practicing qudditich with Kevin, and catching up on some reading. I had also written to Oliver about once a week, but my friends don't need to know about that. They would look too much into it.

"Yeah, I don't notice anymore since I've been coming here since I was little, but this really is a giant house. If only my family were an old wizarding family. We really should hate you Katie," Alicia sighed.

I roll my eyes, "It's just been in the family for a long time. Kevin and Ella will live here someday. Hate them. This is only temporary for me." I close my eyes as I feel the hot sun on my skin. This feels so relaxing, but I know it won't last long. I always get bored, and have to go swimming. "How are your grandparents Ang? I'm glad you're finally back."

She sighs, "They are doing well. Two whole weeks with all of my siblings is too long. You two were just here getting tan and relaxing while I was babysitting. It was nice in the beginning, but then I was just ready to go. There's only so much to do in the muggle world, and no qudditich."

"Speaking of qudditich," I say with excitement. "Kevin got Ella and I tickets to Puddlemere's first regular season match! I'm so excited!" I beam at them.

"Lucky!" Alicia grins at me.

"Will Wood be playing?" Ang asks with a smirk.

I pause, I need to make them think by how I word this, that I've only talked to Kevin about it. "I'm not sure. Kevin said the other day that Oliver is kicking ass at practice. He's improved so much even in this last month, that Kevin is confident he will be the best keeper in the league by next year. He told me he wouldn't be surprised if Oliver plays the opener, even to throw off the other teams. The coach wants to make it clear to the entire qudditich world he has confidence in both of the keepers. Kevin is probably partial because he grew up with Oliver, but he thinks Oliver is better."

"Wow that's so great!" Alicia said excitedly. "I'll have to beg my parents to get tickets. They love Oliver, so I'm sure they would want to."

"That is so weird to think about," Ang says looking a bit distracted. We all knew Oliver would play professionally, but to hear it actually happening... was surreal.

"Yeah Kevin also got Ella and I tickets to the World Cup on August 22nd, but who isn't going to be there? Did you write to Fred while you were on vacation?" I tried to ask nonchalantly, but Alicia starts to giggle and I can't stop myself from joining in.

"I did correspond with him," she tried not to smile. She turned to Alicia, "You've been writing George, haven't you?!"

Alicia blushed and nodded. I smirked at both of them, "Young love, how precious." They both look ready to retaliate, so I decide to distract them. "You will never guess what my Grandmum said the other day!" They both look interested, because they know my Grandmum could say anything. "So the other day I went over there for tea, and casually brought up that I have been thinking about cutting my hair short. It's nearly to the small of my back now, and almost always in my way! I have no idea how it grows so fast, and it will be such a hassle during qudditich season."

Alicia gasped and frowned, "No Katie! I love your hair so long, and it gets so much lighter during the summer. Your hair makes you look like that muggle doll barbie!"

I roll my eyes, "Well you don't have to worry, because Grandmum lectured me for close to an hour about my hair. I should only get a decent trim every 6 months to keep it healthy. She went on to explain that the family tiara I will wear on my wedding day makes it very important to have long hair. Apparently the hair styles that are appropriate while wearing the tiara all demand long hair." I said this last sentence as my grandmum did. With a bit of self importance, and my best friends started laughing. "She then went to get the tiara and made me try it on and showed me why I needed long hair! I sat there for over an hour with the thing on! Apparently she thinks I'm getting married soon." I rolled my eyes as they started dying of laughter.

"I love your Grandmum! She's so entertaining!" Alicia said between laughter

"That's not even the half of it! Then she started to tell me I was too tan, and I need to remember about skin cancer."

They both started laughing even louder, "Did she say you looked like a servant, and not the princess you are with a tan? You ARE really tan though. I don't know how you are! You're always wearing sun screen!" Alicia said with some jealousy.

I shrug, "I'm getting too hot. Let's go jump in!" I run to the pool and cannonball in getting the others wet. They run in after, and the rest of the day is spent having the best summer day.

...

"We are going to be late for our Portkey! Is this really necessary?" I scowl at Ella as she finishes curling my hair.

She smiles at me, "FINISHED!" I glance at what Ella had been working on for the past two hours. After much fighting, she got me into a green sweater dress with off the shoulder capped sleeves, black leggings, and mid calf black boots. I had fought about being hot, but she promised to cast a cooling charm if that happened. I had been going to go neutral to the game, but now I guess I had to cheer for the Irish because my eyes are green. Next was my hair. She couldn't get over how light blonde it was, and said we had to curl it to enhance the natural highlights from the sun. She had even done my makeup to perfection, and I felt like her doll she was dressing up. I sat and endured it, because I realized if she was married to Kevin she was used to winning against stubborn people. I have to learn to pick my battles with this pregnant woman. Also, I know grandmum would definitely approve of my state of dress right now, and the entire wizarding world is going to be at the game. I guess I might as well look nice "for my future husband."

Kevin comes in his room with a clothes hanger, and holds it out. I hear him grumble about looking too old for my age as the portkey glows blue, and I feel myself being pulled away. We land in an open field and are hurried towards the camp site by a ministry worker. As soon as we arrive at our camp site, I realize why Kevin is so mad I look the way I do. All of his teammates are in the surrounding tents. They must have gotten a deal through the owner of Puddlemere. Kevin starts to set up the tent and our campsite without magic as Ella and I sit down on a bench nearby. We can't help but laugh at his attempt to be muggle. I can see Kevin shooting daggers at anyone who approaches us, so we have some privacy.

I blush as Ella looks at me in pride, "Your like the cute baby sister I always wanted to dress up Katie. I really appreciate you humoring a pregnant woman on her whims."

I blush, "I should be thanking you. I feel really pretty for once."

She rolls her eyes, and starts discussing work. About a half an hour later, I notice her sit up straighter, and look behind me, "What's the matter?" I ask as she glances over how I look.

She leans in and whispers, "Well it's just that the Woods have arrived. I just thought you should know that Oliver gave Kevin his free ticket from the owner, and bought tickets for him to sit with his parents. He thought you would want to sit with Kevin, and Kevin can only get one free ticket for a spouse for a big game like this."

"He did that for me?" I ask in shock. "Did Kevin pay him for the ticket?" I ask feeling a little awkward for taking Oliver's ticket.

"No Oliver wouldn't take anything for it. He said you enjoying the game was enough. I just thought you would want to know, so you could thank him properly," She said with a wink as one of Kevin's teammates came and said hello. Cal Bonner was the best looking guy on the team besides Oliver, and I remember him introducing himself as a beater at the wedding. He has black hair, ice blue eyes, and an arrogant smile. He began to talk to Ella about something Kevin did at practice, so our conversation about Oliver was over. I couldn't help but to look towards him and his family setting up their campsite 4 tents away from ours.

"So little Katie Bell, it's nice to see you again. Do you remember me from the wedding?" Cal asked. I could tell he expected me to say yes, and be in awe of him.

I pretended to think, and glanced at Ella pretending to feel awkward, "We've met before? I'm sorry, but I don't remember." I bite my lip to keep from laughing, but I hope it looks like I'm worried.

He looks at me in shock as Ella bursts out laughing. We had been talking earlier about how good looking Cal was, so she knows I remember him. I smirk and he suddenly starts to laugh in a loud booming voice, "I should have remembered who your brother is. I like you!"

I see Kevin making a B-line back over to our campsite from where he was talking to one of his teammates. I also see him glance and wave in the direction of the Wood's campsite. "You should have seen the shock on your face! Someone has become a self important qudditich player, wouldn't you say Ella? .. It's nice to see you again Mr. Bonner." I finish very politely with a smirk on my face as Kevin sits down next to Ella on the bench.

Kev smiles at me proudly, thinking that I think this Cal guy is much too old to be hitting on me. In reality I'm flattered. Cal glances at Kevin, but then leans towards me and whispers, "I see how this is going to be. Just so you know, I always win." He winks at me in a joking manner, and I can tell he's trying to irritate Kevin.

I lean towards him, and try to look very innocent. I speak in a normal voice, so Kevin can hear me, "I don't know what you mean sir. Are we playing a game?"

Kevin practically growls at him, but Ella bursts out laughing, "Oh Kevin, I absolutely adore your sister. She's really the only reason I'm going to stay married to you."

"Oh really, because-" Kevin smirks down at his wife and leans in and whispers something to Ella that makes her blush. Kevin is sufficiently distracted by his wife.

I roll my eyes as I turn back towards our guest, and am surprised to see Cal turned talking to Oliver. Cal glances over at me with a friendly smile as he pats Oliver on the back, "This here is the rookie of the team. I'm sure you've heard a lot about him from your brother, but on August 28th he will be the first rookie to start the season opener within months of signing with the team. Oliver Wood this is Katie Bell, Kevin's little sister."

I glance in confusion at Cal. Does he not know we are old family friends? I guess not since he thinks he just introduced us, "Wow Ollie you didn't tell me in your last letter that you were going to play for sure."

He shrugged stepping closer to me, "It's not for sure yet, and I figured Kev and Timmy were telling you enough. I'm actually over here to bring you back to my mum. She said she hasn't talked to you since the wedding, and would love to catch up."

I can see the confusion on Cal's face as I stand up and begin to leave with Oliver, "See you around Cal. It was nice to see you again." He waves in confusion, but then turns to my brother. I can't tell what he asks, but I bet it's about Oliver. I turn to Oliver and smile, "I'm surprised he didn't know we are friends."

He looks back, "Kevin doesn't bring you up around the guys. You can imagine why."

I look at him in confusion, "I can?" He gives me a look, so I decide not to ask. "I meant to talk you sooner Oliver. I really appreciate the ticket, so I can sit by my family. Are you sure you won't let me pay you for it?"

He looks at me in surprise, "Oh, I didn't know Kevin told you. You don't need to thank me, really. Think of it as part two of your birthday present. This was a big birthday this year, 17."

I lean in and give him a hug. He looks down at me in surprise, then he wraps his arms around me and hugs me tightly, "Thanks Oliver."

"Any time Kates," He says as he takes a step back and continues on to his campsite. "Look who I brought back for you mum!"

I walk over to Mrs. Wood and give her a hug. I sit down and talk with her while Oliver and his dad try to start a fire the muggle way. All the rules about not using magic made setting up camp so funny. A while later Kevin came over to get me, "We need to eat before we leave for the game Baby Kate."

I agree, and leave with him, "It was nice catching up! Have fun at the match." I say as I leave

...

I've been to plenty of professional qudditich games for Kevin, but none quite like this one. The atmosphere was astounding, and both teams were amazingly skilled. I had so much fun with Ella, Kevin, and his team. I didn't want the game to end, but was in awe of Krum as he flew to catch the snitch.

The celebrating made any after qudditich parties in the Gryffindor common room look like absolutely nothing. Everyone was going crazy, and the feeling of euphoria was contagious. The after match parties at the tents were almost out of control, and I could tell it made Kevin feel on edge till we got back to our tent surrounded by his teammates. I saw Oliver from a distance, but Kevin ushered us into the tent. Ella was pregnant and was glad to be back. I could tell she was tired. I made her some tea, and made sure she was comfortable on the couch with her feet up. I could tell being six months pregnant was tiring after all that walking. I sat on the couch next to her and we started talking about the crowds outside.

Kevin was pacing near the door, glancing at us every so often and then at the door. After about 30 minutes Ella was practically asleep on the couch, so Kevin took her to sleep. "Okay night Baby Kate. Promise me you won't leave the tent?"

I give him an annoyed look as I head towards my room in the tent, "I promise. Since when are you Mr Worrier?"

He sticks his tongue out at me, "Since my wife is pregnant, my baby sister is here, and people are going crazy outside of the tent where we are staying the night."

I roll my eyes, "You put up wards, so no need to worry. Night." I continue into my little room and lay on my bed. I pull my book out of my bag, and begin to read. I must have fallen asleep soon after due to how tired I was. The next thing I knew there was screaming from outside that sounded like people were in distress, that went along with the terrible nightmare I had been having. I sat up trying to decide if it was just people still up partying, or my imagination was just over reacting after my nightmare. I was trying to forget about it, and looked around my room anxiously for a distraction. Eventually I got out of bed, hurried out of my room, and was relieved to see Kevin up and sitting on the couch. He must still be on edge, because he was staring at the entrance of the tent.

I hurried over, and jumped over the back of the couch. I leaned over and put my head in Kevin's lap, "Kevi, I had a nightmare about momma again. I miss her so much. What's going on outside? I'm really scared." I heard a sigh, and a hand started playing with my hair. I looked up in surprise, because I knew it wasn't Kevin. I gasp as I look up into the concerned gaze of Oliver Wood. "Oliver, what are you doing here?" I ask in confusion as I sit up on the couch and pull my night dress down to my knees. I'm thankful no lights are on, because I'm pretty sure Oliver would have been able to see my underwear. In my defense, I thought it was my brother.. and there's only the faint glow from outside of the tent.

Oliver put his arm on the back of the couch and turned towards me. I could tell he was trying to decide what to say.

I look towards the back bedroom, "Where's Kevin? He's not here is he? What's happening out there?" I can hear the nervousness in my own voice, and my breathing quickens.

Oliver glances towards the tent entrance, "I'm not 100% sure what's going on out there, but I know your dad came to get Kevin to help the ministry with crowd control."

"How long has he been gone? And control what? It's just fans having fun, right?" I look up at him with pleading eyes, and I can tell he's trying to hide something. I lean forward and whisper, "Please tell me the truth Oliver."

He sighs again, "Well I don't know it all, but from what I gathered on my way over here.. There have been death eater sightings, and a dark mark in the sky."

I gasp, and try to stop the tears that come to my eyes, "What does that mean?" I get out before I start crying.

I feel Oliver pick me up, and put me on his lap. He laid my head on his shoulder and rubbed my back soothingly. "I'm sure your dad and brother are going to be alright. They are both great wizards. Kevin asked me to come over here to make sure you and Ella stay safe until he returns. For all we know, he could be back any minute."

I keep thinking about not only my brother and father, but all of the innocent families that came to the game. What did he mean death eaters were back? Wasn't you-know-who gone? Why would the death eaters come here? I heard my sobs transition into hiccups, and Oliver began to whisper soothingly to me until I could stop. "There you go Kates, everything will be okay. You're safe here with me. I would never let anything happen to you." Sitting here on the couch, leaning against his chest with his arms wrapped tightly around me, I did feel safe.

Eventually my breathing returned to normal, but I felt a wave of embarrassment about the way I acted. "Sorry about that. It was just so overwhelming, especially after my dream." I lean back and smile at him. He looks down at me and smiles back with kindness in his eyes. I should have known Oliver wouldn't hold it against me that I was just freaking out.

"No need to apologize. I don't mind at all.. pinky promise." he paused. "I've missed you Kates," He finished with a smile.

I laugh, "No you haven't. You've been way too busy with qudditich. I have missed you though Oliver, and it's not going to be Gryffindor qudditich without you barking orders."

He pretends to look offended, and then brushes my hair back off my forehead, "I'm going to take that as a compliment. As for qudditich, it's so weird to be playing without the Gryffindor team. It's almost uncomfortable to wear anything but red out on the pitch. I'm really starting to like all of the guys on the team, and we really work well together. I miss Gryffindor though.." he paused. "Hopefully we can impress you when you come to that first game before you return to school in September."

I lean my head back against his shoulder again, "I'm just glad you're happy playing Oliver. You have your dream job."

"I am happy, and I enjoy my job a lot. Don't get me wrong. Practices are so hard though, sometimes I just come home and am too tired to eat. My mum would be concerned if she knew that, but it's worth it when I see how well I'm doing in the eyes of my teammates. I just wish it didn't take up my whole life. There are some things I wish I had more time for."

"Like what?" I ask without thinking about it. I'm so comfortable, and tired after all my crying, I have no filter.

He starts to play with my hair again. Running his fingers through it and twisting the ends, "Well you for one thing. I can't wait to get my next letter from you, and wish I had more time to see you before you leave for school. I love when you write to me."

I lean back with a confused look on my face, "Me?" As my eyes meet his, I feel myself smile.

He nods and smiles back, as he cups the back of my neck and rubs his thumb across my cheek. "Yes, you Kates. I wish I would have told you sooner." He leans in slowly, and brushes his lips to mine. Our breaths mingle since our faces stay close together as he continues to talk, "Kates I've had feelings for you for as long as I can remember. I fought them when I was older, because I was afraid of Kevin's reaction. I haven't been able to get my mind off of you all summer, and I've known my feelings aren't going to lessen since you got hurt at practice. Olivia had only ever been an attempt to distract myself from you, but I realized it was hopeless. I don't know why I'm saying this all now. Maybe it's because of what's happening tonight and I won't be at Hogwarts. I need you to stay safe while you're away at school. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that after tonight things in the wizarding world are going to change."

He leans forward again, and begins to kiss me with more fervor. Our lips moving against the other's. I can hardly believe this is happening. Is this a dream? This is all I ever wanted to hear from Oliver, and it's happening? I wrap my arms around the back of his neck and run my fingers through his hair. I feel him groan, and hold me closer with his arm around my waist. I start to smile as I run my tongue along his bottom lip. He leans back and closes his eyes as he holds me close, "Please tell me I didn't just take advantage of you when you were upset."

I pull back and look up at him in shock, "What would make you think that?" He's watching me nervously, waiting for my response. I decide to have some fun. I tilt my head to the side and pretend to think. He seems more anxious the longer I wait, so I decide to help him out. "Oliver, I have always liked you." I pause to give him a quick kiss. "I always thought you saw me as a little sister though." I pause to kiss him again.

Oliver laughed and smirked at me. He held me close as he laid out on the couch over me. He started to kiss my neck when all of a sudden there was a clearing of a throat behind us. Oliver was off the couch in 0.1 seconds and across the room by the entrance to the tent breathing heavily. I missed having him close to me the instant he was gone.

I looked up in surprise at Ella, who was smirking at me. "I can hear Kevin talking outside the tent. I figured you would want some warning." She smiled at me full on now. There was mischief in her eyes as she turned back towards Oliver, "You might want to take care of that before he gets back."

I look over at Oliver as he's leaving the tent, and then I glance over at Ella. She sits on the couch next to me and gives me a hug. "OhMyGawd! I heard it all! Sorry it's part of having a sister I've heard. No privacy. I knew he liked you! I'm so happy for you!"

I start to blush, and am about to tell her I have no idea what this all means as I hear Kevin start to talk to Oliver. I look at Ella in panic, and she nods in understanding. Then she turns towards the entrance, "Kevin? Is that you? Oh Katie can you go get me some calming tea? I'm feeling so anxious. Where IS he?!" She smirks at me, and then looks so worried.

At first I'm concerned for her, and then she winks as he comes rushing in. I hurry off to get the tea and the guys come back in and join Ella on the couch. I can hear Kevin reassuring her as I bring the tea back, "Here Ella, would you like me to help you back to bed?"

She looks at me with sad eyes and nods, "Yes this can't be good for the baby." I glance at Kevin and he looks really worried. I walk slowly with Ella back to the bedroom and she whispers, "You owe me. Now I'm going to have to deal with him being a mother hen for the next couple days. I understand you not wanting to be around Oliver in front of Kevin though."

I nod, "I just don't know what all of that means between us."

She nods in understanding, and then indicated me to be quiet. We both lean towards the flap to listen to Kevin give Oliver an update on what's happening outside. I look nervously at Ella, and she looks a little worried too.

"Thanks again for coming over Oliver. I couldn't have left my girls here without knowing you were here. You can stay here on the couch if you want." Kevin said as he stood up and started to make his way to the room.

Ella scurried to the bed and laid down. Mumbling something about being too fat for this as she did. I passed her the tea just as Kevin entered the room. I turn to Kevin, "I'm glad you're safe Kevi."

He smiled at me and gave me a hug, "Thanks Kate. Oliver said something about you having a nightmare about mum?"

I nod, and make my way towards the door, "I'm better now. He helped me."

He nods and yawns as he looks towards Ella, "How are you doing Pumpkin?"

She crosses her arms, "That is not funny. I do not look like a pumpkin, yet."

He sighs as he falls onto the bed, "You didn't mind when I called you that before. Seriously El, I don't mean it like that.."

I left them to return to my room, and was sad to see that Oliver had left. I sighed and went back into my room and laid down on my bed. I closed my eyes and replayed what just happened in my head. I couldn't help but feel very happy, but I was also a little anxious. I didn't know where it would go from here. I wasn't even going to see him again this summer... unless I saw him in a week after his season opener game.

Well?! How was the interaction between Katie and Oliver? Feedback please!
