Chapter 24

Disclaimer: All JK's…none of this is mine!

Sirius stared at the moving picture in his hand. It depicted Cayte lifted up in the arms of a tall dark haired boy. She was smiling bigger than he had ever seen her smile and it hurt him to see another guy reviewing it. He felt a hand clap his shoulder, "It's alright Siri, Cayte would never cheat on you. She likes you too much" James said in a vain attempt to make his friend feel better. Sirius smiled flatly, "It's not that…I know that. It's just…look at that smile! I've never seen her so happy. I can't make her that happy no matter how hard I try. I've tried James. She just doesn't smile like that. Not for me at least. I could FEEL the happiness radiating in her later, see it in her writing. I don't know. She just-just seems so happy there versus with me." The two friends say in silence for a few minutes. "I want to be him!" Sirius thought. "I want to help him!" James thought to himself.

Meanwhile on a different continent in a southern state Cayte woke up to a face less than two inches from her face. "BOO!" Jack laughed, pulling her up from the bed she was sleeping on. "Hey babe, its morning! Breakfast is being served and your mom's down stairs waiting for you." Cayte looked groggily up at him, "coffee," was all she could manage to say. She tripped down the stairs, eyes half closed, following the smell of food and coffee. "England doesn't make coffee like this," Cayte thought as she took a sip of strong Colombian coffee. She found her favorite breakfast foods and put them on her plate. "There is nothing like an everything bagel with cream cheese and whitefish spread," (an: try it! It seems so totally wrong, but…mmmm…my mouth waters thinking about it!)Cayte said, taking a bite. Her mom cringed, "That's right, they are great, just not chewed up IN. YOUR. MOUTH!" A small flush appeared on Cayte's face, "Sorry," she muttered taking another bite. "So, what are we doing today? You said we had plans," Cayte's mom nodded and swallowed. "Surprise. Not telling. Dress comfortably, wear good shoes. Jack, unfortunately there's not enough 'room' for you to come. Be ready around 5 today, K?" she said standing up to leave.

Jack smiled, "and tomorrow I've got a surprise for you!"

~*~ Later that Day ~*~

Cayte was excited. Two surprised, two days, what and awesome thing! She was up in her old room- the one she had gotten the year she left- alone she had always stayed alone in that room, as it had been given to her due to 'special situations'. She put on a t-shirt froma DMB concert long past and her favorite jeans and sneakers. It was five till five and she knew her mom would be waiting outside. She walked out the door that led straight to the main room and found her mother standing with two broomsticks, Jack's and her own. "Come on, we gotta fly!" her mom joked. "You're so cheesy!" Cayte said, taking Jack's broom. "Jack said you could use his broom. It's easier one person per if you know what I mean," Mrs. Daae said, "I bewitched it to follow my lead for now, " she added taking flight. After about thirty minutes they landed at a wizarding restaurant to eat dinner. An hour later they took off again, stomachs full, and minds anxious for whatever was next.

Guster. That's all Mrs. Daae had to say before Cayte went berserk. She loved the band Guster and they were coming out with a new CD soon so they had started another tour. Her mom had somehow managed to get tickets to see them in the small venue. Cayte, being the 'guster fan girl' that she was knew they only played small venues like the one they were at so the shows sold out quickly. They stood around, eight people from the stage. Just waiting. At nine o'clock guster came out on to the stage. Opening with one of Cayte's favorite songs, What You Wish For, and the concert only got better from there.

It was one am when they got back to Pecan Rose. All was quiet, as everyone but the caretaker was asleep. As soon as Cayte reached her bed, she was asleep, out like a light and dreaming of the concert she had just attended.

~*~

Sirius moped around, pissed off and jealous, wishing Cayte were there on one hand, and on the other he was so glad she wasn't. First off he couldn't explain to her the animagus thing without her being pissed and second he was afraid of what he would say to her about this kid Jack.

He decided to write.

This kid Jack…I don't know what to think about him. His eyes seem to hold so much love for Cayte. But it's not the love that one gets when looking at a sister. And it scares me. I've never seen Cayte look like that, that happy…I can't believe she would cheat on me. But that's what it has to be. I mean…why else would he look like that. Why else would SHE look like that?

Sirius got up from the bed and grabbed the picture. The thought never crossed his mind that if she were cheating on him, she would not have sent him that picture.
