***Later that Afternoon at the EMS Station***
Val, Tyler, and Hank were all sitting around reading, doing homework, etc. Brooke was busy cleaning up in the next room.
Hank put the coffee he had been drinking down and checked his watch. "Have you guys seen Jamie yet? He was supposed to be here a half an hour ago."
"Nope." Tyler replied. "Probably had detention again." He chuckled.
***Jamie***
Jamie didn't have detention. The truth was, he had been avoiding the station or anyone else that he knew. He was riding around town on his motorcycle, trying to rid himself of all his bad thoughts... but he just couldn't stop thinking about Catie... His Catie... The only problem was that it wasn't working. Jamie couldn't get her out of his head. Then, Jamie noticed a red convertible waiting at the stop light next to him.
"Hey, what time is it?" He yelled to the blonde lady at the wheel.
"You talking to me?" She asked, gazing at him. He nodded and she checked the clock in her car. "About 5:30."
"Darn!" Jamie kicked himself inwardly. He was now an hour late for his shift. "Thanks, anyway." He said to the lady.
"Anytime, honey." She batted her eyelashes a couple times and sped away.
Either because Jamie was so late, or because he just wasn't in the mood, he decided to blow off his shift completely and ride around town until, say, midnight or so... He kicked off on his bike and rode away...
***Catie, Brianne, and Scottie***
"Hey!" Brianne called to Catie and Scottie who had been waiting at the corner near Steve's (the stupid preppy person) house. "Sorry I'm late... I had to go stop at the hospital first, ya know, to make sure I'm okay and stuff..." She trailed off and grinned. "Well, anyways, they say I'm going to be fine."
"Thats great!" Catie exclaimed walking over to Brianne, with Scottie following her. Brianne noticed, though, that behind Catie's smile she looked kind of down.
"Are you feeling okay Catie? 'Cause you don't look very great." Brianne asked her friend worriedly.
"Thats right, you haven't been huffing have you?" Scottie asked, grinning and laughing.
Brianne slapped Scottie on the arm and Catie rolled her eyes, annoyed. "No, Scottie, I'm fine. I'm just... I don't know... Tired..." Catie smiled weakly at her friends. She hadn't been tired. She was just so sorry about blowing up at Jamie that day. Now he probably hates you. That darn little voice in the back of her head thought... And you never even told him your feelings... That you love Jamie Waite... Catie shook her head to try and shut the little voice up. Then she turned to Brianne and Scottie. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" She tried to put a smile on her face as they headed towards Steve's house.
"So I was thinking..." Scottie started.
"Well, thats a change!" Brianne interrupted, grinning.
"As I was saying," Scottie continued, ignoring Brianne, "One of us can teepee his garage, one his porch, and one that big oak tree in front of his house... I volunteer for the garage."
"I'll take the porch." Brianne said.
"Okay, then. I guess I'll cover the tree." Catie said warily.
"By the way, where's Jamie?" Brianne asked no one in particular.
"He said he couldn't make it... EMT stuff..." Catie said staring at the sidewalk.
"EMT stuff again?!?!" Scottie asked, glaring. He was obviously mad at Jamie for skipping out on stuff again because of his job.
Catie remained silent, looking up at the dark sky.
About 15 minutes later...
Catie headed towards the big tree. She gazed up at its large branches, its mighty trunk. She sighed and when she threw her roll of paper it went higher than she had wanted. It soared towards the tree, and to Catie's dismay, the roll got stuck. Catie stomped her foot angrily and looked around for Scottie and Brianne but they were already busy. Having nothing better to do, Catie decided to climb up the tree and get the paper. It wasn't that high, and Catie was a good climber. She was used to climbing trees since she had so many brothers. She lifted herself up into the lowest branch and started the upward ascent toward the roll of paper. Just as she was about to grab the paper, Catie heard a sharp crack below her and before she knew what had happened she began to fall, branches whipping at her face...
