A/N: Ah… now aren't you guys lucky… Including this part, I've posted 5 different parts in the past week. But now… after posting this… I really should get studying… too many tests.

A/N2: Once again… any title suggestions? Or is 'Stress Helps' okay?

Part 3: Information…

Later that night…(Jessie & Grace)

After work, Jessie and Grace went out to eat dinner together at an Italian cuisine just down the corner of their penthouse.

"Hmm… So did you meet my friend?" Grace said as she swallowed some pasta.

Jessie took a sip of water before she answered, "Was your friend Katie Singer?"

Grace nodded.

"Well then, yes I did meet her… Why did you introduce her to see me?" Jessie asked curiously.

"Uh… Maybe 'cause she's a stress-head, and needs to learn how to relax after a hard day of work." Grace replied, but in her head she was also thinking, 'and for her to come to terms with the fact that she's not in love with her boyfriend… whatever his name was again…'

"Stress…" Jessie repeated absentmindedly, "Didn't seem much stressed to me… She looked the happy, outgoing, carefree type actually."

"She was… back in high school that is." Grace said, and again didn't finish off what she really wanted to say, 'Up until she started dating… guys…'

"You know she seems really familiar… Wonder where I have seen her before…" Jessie thought aloud.

"The party..." Grace answered just before sticking some pasta in her mouth.

"Party? What party?"

"Ugh… remember the party I dragged you to last year, for a celebration of our success in signing, like, the greatest contract ever."

"OH! That one," Jessie recalled, "She was the girl whom was surrounded by a whole bunch of congratulations…" Secretly Jessie was thinking, 'thought she was pretty… seeing her close up just proves me right.'

"Uh Huh… Reason for that is because she's my partner, and also because she was one of the reasons why the company agreed into signing our contract." Grace said proudly, "A charming one, she is."

"Hmm…"

Later that Night… (Katie & Tad)

"Hello?" Katie answered her home phone, as she was still studying some statistics on her computer.

"Hey Katie… thought you were gonna call me back."

"Oh yeah… sorry Tad, forgot. I was busy."

"So where did you go after work, sounded like you were in a hurry."

"Uh, I went to a therapist Grace introduced me to."

"Grace, as in your partner Grace?"

"Uh Huh."

"Why'd you go?"

"Apparently Grace said I am to stressed, and need to learn how to relax myself. So she introduced me to a therapist."

"Well I must say… I do agree with Grace on that… You always seem so tense."

"Whatever. So what did you call for?"

"Oh yea… Was wondering whether you had time for dinner before, but seemed like you didn't."

"Well you've got that right. I haven't even eaten dinner yet… What time is it?"

"Uh, it's eight, and you haven't eaten dinner?" Tad asked rhetorically, "I know, I'll buy you some food, and we can have dinner together at your house then."

"Alright… If it's not too much of a hassle for you."

"Well, anything of assistance for the great Kathryn Singer is never a hassle." Tad said jokingly… out of, what felt like, brotherly love instead of boyfriend.

"Haha."

J/G Penthouse…

"Kathryn Singer… where else have I heard of that name…" Jessie was speaking to herself out loud in her room.

She was actually trying to read a book on her bed after taking a relaxing shower, but the name 'Kathryn Singer' just wouldn't stop nagging at her.

"Wait… Grace said high school. She must've went to the same high school." she spoke again. "Silly me…"

By now, Jessie had already discarded the book in her hand, and went to search for her last year book on her bookshelf.

"Found it…" She whispered as she pulled out the book.

Looking slowly through the pages, memories came flooding back again, not just the very last year of high school. They were mostly of unhappy memories… but of course there were also some good ones. There were memories of her coping with anorexia, how other people kept saying stuff behind her back. Only until when she started creating a bond with Grace in her junior year, did people stop talking about her. That was also when Jessie began participating in some school events, such as the school play.

Flicking through the pages, she finally fell upon the senior photos near the back of the year book. Because the pictures were placed in alphabetical order, according to surname, Jessie just flicked to the 'S' section of it.

"Singer… Singer… Singer…" Jessie repeated under her breath, as her eyes roamed the page for the name 'Singer'.

"Found it." Jessie took a brief look at the photo… 'Wow… she has an amazing smile… Wait what am I thinking… she's my patient… and I'm acting like a stalker… AND – it's okay to think a girl is good looking, I mean I like guys… don't I?'

Jessie had never actually fallen for a guy… or a girl for that matter, during her high school years, and her college years. She's always thought that she just hasn't met any boy up to her standards… but Grace has other suspicions, though she never actually told Jessie about them. Reason is purely because, Jessie has never denied anything… mainly 'cause she's never done anything to deny about.

Katie's Penthouse

After Tad came over with some Chinese take-away, they had dinner together. Now they sit on Katie's huge couch watching her enormous 50 inch plasma TV. Sometimes Tad wonders why on earth Katie would get such a gigantic TV if she barely has the time to watch it.

Whilst watching TV, something in the room changed, or maybe it was just the influence of some red wine, because Tad and Katie were leaning in to each other. Just as their lips were about to touch, the mood changed.

'Why on earth does this feel so awkward?' Katie questioned herself.

'Dude… I feel like I'm kissing my sister or something.'

They both pulled away, looked at each other and Katie finally knew why it felt awkward.

Friday - 24th of February 2006

Grace and Katie were having lunch together; they were having a conversation about basically everything.

"Hmm… I broke up with Tad." Katie said out of the blue.

"Cool…" Grace answered, then she shook her head violently, her eyes wide, "What!"

"I broke up with Tad," Katie repeated.

"You broke up with Tad?" Grace repeated, and then a grin came across her face, "Knew you guys were gonna sooner or later."

"Why?"

"Because… you don't even love him. Or maybe you do, but just not that way… you know?"

"Hmm… Yeah… Explains why every time we kiss, I felt like kissing my brother or something."

"Hahaha… yeah. I know what you mean." Grace answered, recalling her little crush over Eli back in high school.
