I do not own any of the Summerland character, no money is involved in writing this.

Sorry if I confused all of you but there are some 'secrets' in this story hence the name of it. I made them be 17 instead of 16 because it worked better; the gun thing will be explained eventually. To let you know there is rape talked about in this story

The accident

The next couple of days Cat and Bradin hung out.

It was the day of the surf competition; Erika brought Bradin and Cat there.

Jay was sitting out after breaking his ankle, Bradin had just finished surfing on Jay's board. Erika was just getting out of the water. She came and sat down next to Jay. The three were watching Cat surf now.

"So you two together." Jay asked Bradin.

"Yea." Bradin said

"It's about time you found someone."

They watched Cat. She hadn't fallen the whole day, but that didn't mean she wouldn't. She started to turn but it didn't look like her ankle was going to hold her up. She fell backward into the water. Bradin's eyes went wide. He stood looked out into the water. A minute had gone by and he hadn't spotted Cat's head yet. He ran into the water just as he spotted her. She was struggling to crawl out of the water. He helped her out of the water. She turned over on her back. Bradin saw a large cut on her forehead. He looked at her ankle and saw it was already black, blue, and swelling. The paramedics came and checked her out. They put an air cast on her ankle and a bandage on her head.

After she was bandages, Erika, Jay, Bradin, and Cat headed to Erika's car.

"Why don't you just stay at our house tonight." Jay said from the passenger seat.

"Sounds good to me." Cat said She was sitting in the back with Bradin. They were snuggling together. The surfboards were next to Cat. Erika was driving

They arrived at the house as the others were about to leave.

Bradin, Derrick, Johnny, Ava, Susannah, and Cat went outside. Jay and Erika said on the couch. Niki was on the phone with Cameron.

Cat sat next to the picnic basket that Ava had pack. She watched as the others played with the football. They finished playing and they went to sit down around the basket.

That night Cat slept on the couch, well she tried to sleep on the couch.

Bradin couldn't sleep, so he went to check on Cat. She quietly went down the stairs. He quietly went up to the couch.

"Cat." Bradin said

"Bradin." Cat asked

"Hey." He said as he came up to sit by her. "Couldn't sleep?" he whispered

"You know me and couched." Cat said

"Yea, I do. It's the same with me" Bradin said "Do you want to sleep in my bed?"

"No." Cat said

"Are you sure?" Bradin asked

"I don't think your Aunt would like it very much." Cat said

Without another word, Bradin picked Cat up and carried her up the stairs to his room.

"What about Derrick?" Cat asked

"Don't worry about him." Bradin said as he came up to his bed. He gently laid her down, and then laid next to her, putting his arms around her waist they fell asleep.

End of Chapter

I promise you eventually you will know what these two have gone though but you will have to be patient. I have to work up to the big reveal. Just to let you guys know these two have known each other since they were kids, they feel completely comfortable with each other. They have slept this way before too.

I am trying to update everyday, but I will need at least one review to do that.
