Kim sat on her bed. She watched George play on the bedroom floor. It had taken ages to find him from Chloe's apartment. It had hidden under the livingroom couch and refused to show himself. Now it had found one of Chase's socks under the bed and pretended it was the best prey in the world.

"You're such a tiger, aren't you!" Kim lifted the cat and stroked its soft fur. George started to purr.

"I bet you miss her, don't you?" She kept on talking to the cat. "If it's any consolation, I know what you're going through."

George rested his head on Kim's hand. She wiped a tear and stood up holding the cat in a tight hug.

"I'm sorry, you probably think I'm such a cry-baby!" She laughed. "Let's go and see if we can find something for you from the kitchen!"

Kim walked to the kitchen trough the hall which was full of cardboard-boxes. She'd started to pack her things, clothes and books and things she could fit into her car. The furniture she'd sell or give away, she hadn't decided. Chase's things and clothes were still untouched in closets and of course, under the bed, where he often, despite of Kim's nagging, had left stuff lying. Kim knew she would have to go through them some time soon, but she just couldn't, not yet. She needed some time away from L.A.

Jack sat beside Kate's hospital bed. She'd been awake earlier but now she was asleep again. But she was going to be fine, that was all that mattered. He watched her breath peacefully.
Jack had told her that he was leaving. Kate had just nodded and smiled.

"Where to?"

"I don't know, Europe maybe."

"Paris is beautiful at this time of year."

"Yeah? Well, you never know.."

..

"Kate, You do know that I'm sorry."

"I know."

"..For everything."

"I know, Jack."

"Good."

"If you're leaving for Kim, I don't think she blames you, you just need to give her some time... And if you're leaving for me.. I'd rather see you here."

"I know. But I think I need to do this for my own sake."

"I hope you find what you're looking for. And if you ever come back.."

"Kate, don't wait for me."

"Then it's goodbyes then."

Kate had leaned over to Jack and kissed him gently on the lips, before closing her eyes and falling to sleep.

Jack turned the night lamp off and walked to the door.

"Goodbye." He said and closed the door behind him.

Michelle leaned on Tony when they walked through the ruins left of their house. She had just gotten out of the hospital and she felt a lot better already. Tony had refused to leave her alone for a second.

"I can't believe this used to be our house!" Michelle sighed.

"And I can't believe how close I was to losing you." Tony held her close to him.

"But you didn't, I'm still here."

They walked away from the ruins to where the garden used to be. The grass was burned and there was almost nothing left.

"Wow, that old tree survived the blast." Tony laughed and pointed at the lonely tree standing steadyly in the back yard.

"And it should stay there too." Michelle said.

"Yeah, it should."

Michelle took Tony's hand they just stood still on the back yard thinking, not the things they used to have, but what they still had.
