"Jay are you sure that Cat was back here less than five minutes ago." Bradin asked

"Yeah." Jay said. "Why?" The Australian was now in the back.

"Because her ring is on the table." Bradin said

"Whoa. I didn't think she would take it off. Maybe I am wrong." Jay said

"I hope so." Bradin said

"What happened before you got here?" Jay asked

"What do you mean?" Bradin asked

"Well Cat, went to see you teach a lesson, and she came back mad." Jay said

"Crap." Bradin said

"What?" Jay asked

"The girl I was teaching ended up kissing me at the end of the lesson." Bradin said

"Oh, did you...?" Jay started to say

"No, she called my name I turned around and her mouth was over mine. I stopped her like a second after our lips touched. When I actually processed what had happened."

"Are you sure it was a second, Mate." Jay asked

"Yeah, then I told the person I was teaching that, she couldn't do that, I had a girl-friend." Bradin said

"Well it looks like Cat saw you kiss the girl. But wouldn't Cat ask you about it before she jumped to conclusions?"

"It was Sarah..."

"No need to saw anymore." Jay said "You should go try to find Cat. She is going to be very pissed."

"She already is." Bradin said

Bradin walked out the backdoor and started looking for Cat.

"Mommy, Are you mad at Daddy?" Canan asked her mother

"Why?" Cat asked

"Because you weren't so happy to see him for lunch today." Canan said

"No. Listen I am going to drop you off at Ally's and then I am going to pick up Ian." Cat said

"But don't you have to go back to work?" Canan asked

"No." Cat said.

She walked to her friends' house and Ally was home. (Ally is the 22 year old that was at the house that you guys first met Canan.)

"Hey girly, what's up with you?" Ally asked

"I have to go pick up Ian. Do you mind watching her for a while. She's probably ready for her nap." Cat said

"I'm not tired, I want to see Daddy." Canan said

"Of course you aren't tired, so we are going to play with your Barbie's. How does that sound?" Ally asked

"Yay." Canan said

"Thank you" Cat mouthed as she walked back out the door.

Cat walked into the beach house, that Ava, Susannah, Johnny, and Jay paid for. She spotted Ian and Derrick playing together.

"Ian." Cat called into the house.

"What?" Ian said

"We're going to be going to Ally's for tonight. Grab some of your clothes." Cat said

"But I want to stay here." Ian said

"I don't care. Get some of your stuff." Cat said

"Fine." Ian said as he trudged up the stairs.

"Why are you going to your friends house? You don't have to move out. You can stay here as long as you want. Ian and Derrick really like each other, you should stay." Ava said

"I promised my mother that I would make sure he was growing up right. I think that he and Derrick should have some space, just so that they aren't at each other's throats." Cat told Ava managing to make her voice stay calm.

Ian appeared decending the stairs.

"Can I come back tomorrow?" Ian asked

"We'll see." Cat said.

"Thanks again Ava." Cat said as exited the house.

Five minutes later Cat and Ian arrived at Ally's house.

"Hey." Ally said as she opened the door. "Canan just fell asleep. Listen I have about an hour of school stuff I have to do, then we can hang out, talk, do whatever." Ally said as she moved out of the doorframe to let Cat and Ian enter.

"There's nothing to do here." Ian said

"Go in your room and play one of your arm games." Cat said.

"Fine." Ian said as he walked into the room he had slept in before they had stayed at Ava's.

About 8 pm.

"So what happened?" Ally asked as she took a swig of a beer.

"What do you mean?" Cat asked as she too took a swig of her beer.

"Well, last time I saw you, you were so happy, and now you are practically in tears." Ally said

"Well, lets just say that I had another Sarah problem."

"What do you mean?" Ally asked

Cat finished off her beer and told her about that afternoon. When she finished she had a new beer and Ally spoke up.

"Are you sure the kiss was that long?" Ally asked

"Yes."

"Maybe you were just exaggerating what you saw. And that way if it wasn't that long he could have been surprised and didn't know it was coming."

"I already thought about it. I had the whole angel/devil thing going on. One said he was tricked the other said he did it himself." Cat said

"Ouch. I don't think that is what they call it though. I think that is called schizophrenia."

"That doesn't make me feel any better."

"Sorry. So what are you going to do about it?"

"I think I am just going to leave and find my own apartment."

"You can stay here as long as you need."

"Hey, do you mind watching him while I go get some of my things?" Cat asked

"Not at all. Are you going to pick up Ian's stuff too?" Ally asked

"No. I think I am going to wait till tomorrow for that. It's just that most of Canan's clothes and stuff is there. And I want to pick up some of my things with out running into him."

"Go ahead." Ally said

"Thanks."

About ten minutes after leaving Ally's house Cat had arrived at the beach house. She walked up the back steps and walked over to Jay's room. She ducked inside and started to pick up her things.

"Don't move." Ava said

"It's just me." Cat said as she turned around.

"What are you doing here?" Ava asked

"Just picking up some stuff." Cat said.

"Oh. Well I guess I could leave you to it." Ava said as she walked out of the room.

Cat was almost done when Jay walked in.

"What do you want Jay?" Cat asked not having to turn around to know that Jay was in the doorframe.

"I just want to talk." Jay said

"I don't want to." Cat said.

"Please."

"Make it fast." Cat said

"He didn't do anything." Jay said

"You didn't see the kiss." Cat said, knowing that he knew, somehow he always knew.

"I don't have to. You should have seen him after he found the ring in the backroom." Jay said

"I didn't want to see." Cat said

"Why because you want to feel bad for yourself. He cares a lot about you." Jay said

"He kissed someone else. Someone he knows I hate." Cat said still not looking at Jay.

"She kissed him, he didn't want to kiss her. I usually takes about a second to realize that you are being kissed when you don't expect it. He didn't know it was coming. He was giving a lesson, he couldn't say no, you know that. Nobody turns down a lesson at the shop. He loves you."

"He doesn't Jay. He doesn't." Cat said

"I think you are trying to convince yourself that what you are saying is true."

"I already convinced myself when I saw him kissing Sarah." Cat said. She picked up her things and started to walk towards Jay.

"Don't do this Cat. He is the best thing that happened to you since Canan. You have smiled more in the past few weeks then you have for the three years that I have known you. You have hardly ever smiling since your mother died. Yeah around Canan you would but you wouldn't mean them. They were all faked."

"Move Jay." Cat said. Her voice unsteady.

"Please Cat give him another chance."

"No." Cat said as she pushed past Jay. She dropped her sketch pad, but didn't seem to notice it.

"Cat you forgot..." Jay began he realized that she didn't seem to care.

Cat got back to Ally's house and put her stuff in her room.

"Crap." Cat said

"What?' Ally asked as she stood in the doorframe.

"I must have dropped my sketch pad."

"Which one?"

"The one Canan gave me for my birthday."

"Oh, that is so cute. She got you a sketch pad. By the way, happy late birthday." Ally said. "I haven't seen you since, but your present is in my locker at the hospital."

"That's okay." Cat said. "listen I'm tired so I am going to go to sleep."

"Sure. See you in the morning."

"Thanks Ally." Cat said

"I'm always here for you." Ally said as she walked out of the room and to her own.

Cat turned the light off and cried herself to sleep.

"Jay there you are. Have you seen Cat?" Bradin asked as he came into Jay's room, and saw Jay lying on the bed.

"Yeah, she was just here."

"How long ago?"

"About an hour." Jay said. "Have you seen her drawings?"

"No." Bradin said

"You should take a look." Jay said closing the sketchbook he was looking in, and handed it to Bradin.

Bradin took it and looked at the front page. It was one of him. It looked just like him, except it was not colored in. He turned the page and saw one of Canan. The next was of Cat. She was smiling in the picture. It looked just like her. Bradin turned the page and saw one of him, Canan, and Cat, looking like a family. He turned the page and saw one of her mother.

"Cat hasn't drawn her mother since the day she died." Jay said

Bradin looked at the next page it was one of a man, he didn't know who, but it was a picture that he remembered, could it be one of her father.

"Do you know who that is?" Jay asked.

"Isn't it her father?" Bradin asked

"Yeah, I only saw that picture once, but it looks just like that." Jay said as he stood up. "Listen stay in here tonight, I'll take your bed." Jay left leaving Bradin alone in the room, looking at the sketchbook.

As he looked through it he saw one of a sunset over a mountain, colored in. One of a sunset over a beach, colored in. He saw one of him surfing. It looked too real.

"She's gotten so much better. I thought the earlier ones looked real." Bradin turned the page and found one of him and Canan playing in the sand, making a sand castle. He turned the page and found it empty. He turned back to the page that had him, Canan, and Cat. Then looked at it till he fell asleep. The pillow still smelled like her hair.
