Chapter 17- What do you think you are doing?
"I don't know what to tell you, Theresa." Fox told his girlfriend. "She was upset last night, but she didn't tell me what happened." He was lying. He knew exactly what happened; Kate had blurted it out last night. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he had to do something. He wasn't going to sit back and watch some jerk hurt his sister like that.
"Are you sure, Fox?" Theresa asked. She had a feeling that he wasn't telling her the whole truth. She shrugged it off. "Okay. Goodbye."
"Bye."

Kate had received many calls that day from Hank, but she never allowed him to be put through. She didn't want to talk to him. She didn't want to think about him, but that was to no avail, because every time she closed her eyes, his face filled her mind.
At the end of the day, she went down to the parking garage, where she had parked her car, and stopped dead in her tracks. He was standing next to her car. She felt the tears of last night start to well in the back of her eyes, and she turned around and got back in the elevator. She frantically pushed the up button, trying to make the doors close faster. He was running over to her, yelling at her to wait. He was only a few feet away when the doors thankfully closed. She sank to the floor of the elevator car, and started to cry again.
~*~*~
Hank had tried to reach Kate all day, but she never let him talk to her. He had to talk to her, to explain, and hopefully get another chance with her. He had waited for her in the parking garage, because he couldn't get clearance upstairs to the offices. When she had finally come down, she saw him, and turned back around. He had tried to get to the elevator before the doors closed, and had seen a glimpse of her face before they shut. He had seen the tears in her beautiful blue eyes, the tears that he had caused. He couldn't believe that he had caused her that much pain.
~*~*~
Fox had come to pick Theresa up so that they could go and grab a bite to eat when Kate stumbled out of the elevator in tears. "Stay here," He told his girlfriend, who nodded. "Kate?" He asked when he reached her office. "Are you alright?"
She turned around. "Does it look like I'm alright?" She asked him, reaching into the cabinet behind her and pulling out a bottle of vodka. She took a swig from it, and, coughing, she looked at him. "He was down there, waiting for me, waiting by my car."
Fox saw red. The guy who had caused his sister all this agony was downstairs, waiting to hurt her more. He walked out the door, down the hall to the elevator. He ignored the calls of his girlfriend and his sister, and got in. He was going to have a little chat with this guy.
~*~*~
Theresa ran into Kate's office, and was astonished at the sight of her. Kate, who had always seemed so composed, so together, was a teary mess. "What is going on, why did Fox leave so quickly?" She asked.
The reality of what had he was going to do hit Kate like a freight train. "Oh God!" She exclaimed, and ran out the door. The elevator was still on its way down, so she rushed to the stairwell, and started down the stairs two at a time, Theresa right behind her.
It took forever to get to the parking garage. Kate pushed the door open, and saw them, in the middle of the empty space, in a huge brawl. Kate and Theresa looked on in horror as one punch after another was thrown.
"STOP!" Kate screamed at the top of her lungs. "Stop it now!"
Fox and Hank froze, looking at her. "What the hell are you doing? What is wrong with you?" Kate said. "Why are you still here?" She asked Hank. "And you," She turned to Fox, "Why are you fighting my battles for me? I am not weak, I can take care of myself, I have been since you left me all alone to come here!" All the anger and hurt she had been feeling since he left came flooding out. "You didn't even say goodbye! You just left in the middle of the night, leaving me a note! And you..." She turned back to Hank. "I had the best night of my life with you! Then you stand me up! You show up here, and fight with Fox, what do you think is going to happen? Did you think I was going to forgive you for hurting me like that? Did you think that I would forgive anyone for treating me like that?"
Both men just looked at her, not sure what to say. Kate realized what she had just done. She had just shown these people her emotions, something she never did. To let people see that was to give them power over you. "I- I have to go." She stammered, still reeling. She ran over to her car, and drove away as fast as her car could go.
