Celeste stood frozen in the doorway her eyes darting back and forth from her father's shocked face to her mother's trembling body. This can't be happening! My parent's never get like this… what the hell is going on?! She dropped her bag on the ground and ran over standing between her parents looking back and forth. "You can't divorce! I mean… it's just not fair everything was going fine… someone tell me what the hell happened?!" Serena shook out of her trance looking to her daughter. "Celeste your father and I are having some marital problems." Celeste could tell she was lying, something was going on. She turned to her father who was still in a slight daze before turning to look at her. "Your mother has just informed me that Katrina Kyle is in fact your half sister." Celeste's mouth dropped. "And how the hell did that happen?!" WTF?! That tramp is my sister?! Oh and great my parent's are referring to each other as "Your mom" and "Your dad" God could my life get any shittier right about now? Wait… yeah their getting a divorce. Celeste and Darien both ran a hand through their hair simultaneously. Serena groaned holding the bridge between her nose and eyes. "Ok… I'll explain everything to you in a moment" Celeste sat on the couch and began to hear the story of her parents… the un-cut version.

An Hour Later

Celeste sat there fuming and depressed at the same time. Katrina is my sister cause my dad had an affair because of a bet?! Holy Shit… things did get worse! Serena sat at one end of the couch and Darien at the other, on certain memories they had smiled but others brought bad painful emotions. Serena took a deep breath. "Ok so there wont be a divorce but we are going to separate." Darien nodded he didn't even know what to say to Serena or Celeste at the current moment. He stood up and looked down at Serena who gave him the coldest look even though she was crumbling inside, he returned her icy demeanor and walked to the door grabbing his keys and walked out. Serena stood up and nodded to Celeste before walking towards the guest room and closed the door silently behind her. Celeste held her head in her hands and silently sobbed.

Celeste sat in the park near the fountain waiting for Katrina to show up. She closed her eyes trying not to concentrate on these last week. Her parents weren't speaking unless necessary, her dad was never home, her mom was crying herself to sleep every night, and so was she, and she desperately needed to talk to Chase, but he had been busy with the wrestling team since he was the captain and whenever she got the chance Katrina was there slowly getting him to like her more, which she had noticed already that he had begun to, of course she couldn't tell Chase they were sisters, not yet at least, Katrina didn't even know. She didn't even realize that Katrina had been trying to get her attention for the last few minutes, "God you're a friggin space case Shields." Katrina laughed at her own comment. Celeste brushed it off and sighed. "Anyways…how's it going with you and Chase?" She hated to admit it but her chest tightened at the thought of him being with HER. Katrina giggled twirling a strand of her hair. "Just great, we're going to see Resident Evil: Apocalypse" Celeste seethed with anger. We've been planning to see that for months and this bimbo is going?! She smiled icily, "That's great! I hope you have fun!" Katrina smiled and nodded. "Oh don't worry, we're not going alone, we're double dating with you and Damian!" Celeste's mouth dropped. "What?! Since when?!" Katrina grinned. "Since Damian has the hots for you and plans on asking you out tomorrow." Celeste couldn't help but blush and nod softly. Katrina grinned and explained that she had to leave because she had a facial in 15 minutes. Celeste nodded and began walking towards her and Chase's spot, when she was just about there she closed her eyes and felt hands slip around her waist she smiled softly and turned around to greet her best friend and opened her eyes to Damian. Celeste's face heated up as she looked at the floor. "H-Hi Damian w-what bring you to the p-park?" Damian smiled, his chocolate hair messy but in a sexy way, his amber orbs intensly watching her. "Since I heard you would be here." She nodded tearing her gaze away his voice hot against her ear. She had to stifle a moan as he began to nibble on her ear gently. A memory flashed in her mind of Chase nibbling on her ear playfully not to long ago. Damian began to increase his ministrations by kissing down her neck sucking on a sensitive spit. Her head thrown back as she pictured a blonde haired, emerald eyed boy doing this, before shaking her head and remembering who she was with. A sharp clearing of the throat was heard and her head snapped up to see none other than her best friend standing thee an annoyed look on his face. "Damian if you don't mind could I speak with Celeste?" He looked up and nodded, before whispering something in her ear nibbling it once more before walking away. Chase was furious. Who the hell does he think he is?! Celeste is my best friend, no one puts their hands on her like that but me… wait… I like Katrina not Celeste what the hell is wrong with me? Celeste was all tousled, love bites and hickies adorned her neck. Chase grabbed her hand and pulled her over to their hidden spot, her grabbed her arms and pressed her against the willow tree. "What the hell was that all about?!" Celeste looked up into his eyes, not knowing what to say she cracked, tears began to cascade down her face as she felt him hold her close soothing her. He stroked her head and rubbed her back, listening to everything she said. By the end he was shocked now knowing everything except the sister thing between her and Beryl. Celeste looked up at him, her eyes glassy still filled with tears, her face flushed, she stared into the eyes of the one person who truly knew her. Chase looked down into her eyes wanting to hold her forever, to ease her pain. Before the best friends knew it, they were locked in a soft kiss.
