A/N: I think the best thing for this story is that I write a few more chapters and then skip it to now. What do ya think? Tell me in your review. Also tell me if you think I should continue it in a different story (like a sequel) but it won't be like Oh Daddy Dearest as this will actually happen soon. I'll work on the sequel to Oh Daddy Dearest probably in the summer. I have a break for Easter soon anyway, so hopefully I'll be able to finish everything up. Destined For Disaster will be almost finished soon. I do like writing it though, so maybe not :)
P.S I'm sorry that my A/N is so long. I had a lot of info! :P
"Mama?" Cat asks into the darkness. Her hand is squeezed gently by Lisa, Cat presumes. "Lisa?"
"Yes, darling, but stay quiet now. I'm going to talk to you in a minute, once we get to my office." She lifts Cat up and carries her on her hip. She strokes her hair. "It's okay, hon- Cat." Cat buries her head in Lisa's shoulder. "Don't fall asleep now. Don't you want to speak to mama?" Cat nods. Lisa doesn't think she's taken it in yet. She lays Cat on her couch, pulling a blanket over her.
"Already late?" Cat mumbles. Lisa laughs.
"No, my sweet, it's morning now. Ten in the morning!" Cat shakes herself awake. "Good girl," Lisa smiles.
"Where's my mama?" Lisa pulls the blanket up a bit, smoothing it down, and then looks at Cat seriously.
"Your mom isn't here right now, but there's a telephone we can use. Have you used a telephone?"
Cat nods. "Yes, mommy's cell phone, when I talked to daddy. And I saw mommy talking to someone on the last day." Lisa looks up from her phone book.
"The last day?" Cat grimaces. She plays with her hands and then breathes in.
"Yes," Cat says "when mommy told me to go away. And when the man on the phone told me to look after mommy now, and when I asked why. He told me that mommy would tell me later. She didn't, just that daddy wasn't here anymore. She said he was in Haven. Mommy never took me there." Lisa's brow rose.
"I don't think she said Haven, darling, I think she meant Heaven."
"Oh yes, Heaven. Well I don't know why daddy was there, he doesn't like Canada." Lisa would've laughed if it wasn't so sad.
"It's not in Canada, Cat. Why do you think that?"
"Well mommy pointed to the sky."
"The sky is where Heaven is, not Canada."
"I see." There was a pause. "I miss my daddy. One day maybe he'll come back. I wish I was a good girl."
"Cat, you are the best behaved girl I've ever come across. You are such a good girl!" Cat smiles sadly.
"Can I talk to mama now?" Lisa nods.
"Of course you can, sweetie." Lisa dials the number and listens as there is a voice on the other end.
"Is that you, Mrs Moto? I've been waiting for your call." Lisa can almost see the smile through the phone.
"Yes. I'll hand you to Cat in a sec, but first I have to say some things. Of course she is your daughter but I may end the call if the topic is not suitable, and please watch your language. Thanks."
"Of course," The phone was put on loudspeaker. "Cat, my darling?"
"Yes, mama, I'm here!"
"Oh sweetheart, I'm so glad you are okay. I was so worried!"
"Are you okay, mom?" Cat's mother drew in a breath. "I'm sorry mommy."
"I'm fine, sweet, I'm fine. What have you been doing?"
"I…I don't remember, mommy."
"What do you mean, you don't remember?"
"It'll be the sedative, it confused her." Lisa added.
"I see," Cat's mother says. "Well, baby, I hope you have a good time wherever you are. Kisses, darling." Cat kisses the air and smiles. "I have to go now."
"Mama?"
"Goodbye, sweetheart."
"Bye bye, mommy."
Jade wakes up and it's Monday. She smiles at Gina. "Hi, sweetie, it's time for school." Jade grins. She can't wait to see Beck again. "Good girl. I've put some clothes out for you." Jade nods. "Don't worry, they're not pink. Blue. Leggings are black. Quick, come on." Jade groans but gets up. She changes quickly and brushes her teeth, shoving on her boots. She has ten more minutes. There is a timer for her. She brushes her hair and then scuffs the carpet with her shoes. "Jade! Stop that now!" Jade sulks until it's time to get into the bus.
She's handed her lunch and a muffin for the bus and then gets on, waving goodbye. She strolls into class, finishing off her muffin and wiping her mouth with the sleeve of her jumper. She looks around for Beck and scowls when she sees him, half asleep talking to Tommy. "Beck!" She calls. He smiles sleepily at her. Jade walks over, face like thunder and he gives a look that makes her look crazy. Tommy grins at her awkwardly.
"No!" Jade glares – Tommy has a habit of staring at Jade for long periods of time. "Beck!" She whines. He shrugs, and Tommy walks away.
"What?" Beck asks. He bites into an apple and Jade raises her eyebrows. "What!"
"Tommy is creepy."
"Why?" Another bite of the apple.
"He stares at me. You saw it too."
"Well, yes, but he's not like, a creep."
"He so is!"
"Just for staring?"
"Yes.
"I've stared at you; maybe he thinks you're pretty." Jade felt the heat rush to her cheeks, her face turning a cute Barbie pink and she smiles; Beck grins too.
"I hardly think so." Jade says cryptically. She gives him a wry smile, and then bursts out laughing. Beck blushes this time. He shyly looks up at her.
"I think you're pretty." Jade raises her eyebrows. She looks down.
"I think you're pretty too," she quips. She looks serious now. "Thanks for saying that." He smiles.
"No problem." They stand there awkwardly, rocking on their heels.
"You wanna see something cool?" Jade asks with a sly smile. Beck nods. She fetches in her bag a bottle top. She shows it to him and the brings back her thumb with nothing in it, and then the cap is back again. They laugh.
"No more horseplay!" Miss shouts. "Time to learn. Get with a partner. We're doing something slightly different today." Beck slips his hand into Jade's. She tightens the grip.
AN: so there it is.
