The stars are burning
I hear your voice in my mind
Can't you hear me calling
My heart is yearning
Like the ocean that's running dry
Catch me I'm falling

It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet
(Won't you save me)
There's gonna be a monsoon
When you get back to me

Year Without Rain-Selena Gomez


Chapter Five

Cat and Robbie were standing under the awning of Rossi's Little Italy. It was pouring rain and both of them were soaked.

"How far away if your house Cat?"Robbie asked.

"About a 20 minute drive," Cat answered.

"Mine's about a 10," Robbie answered.

"Well we better start walking," Robbie said shaking his head. Cat followed. Robbie heard a snap. "DAMN!"

Cat bent over in the rain. Her heel broke. She took off her shoes and threw them aside. Robbie gaped.

"You're gonna walk the whole way barefoot?" Robbie shouted over the rain. Cat sneezed. She nodded. Cat was goanna get phenomena outside like this. Robbie stared up at the rain. They began to walk.

After about 5 minutes Cat collapsed on the road. They couldn't leave them out there like this. Beck was going to come by with his car and save them both. Cat was lying on the side of the road. Her lips were turning blue. His jacket was still in the car. He sat her up against a wall and sat beside her. He hugged her and held onto her until he fell asleep.

When he awoke it was sunny and he was dry except for a few spots on his back. He glanced over at Cat. Her eyes were closed and she lay limp.

"Cat?" he asked shaking her. He put his head by her chest. Her heart was beating. She was unconscious. "Come one babe. Wake up," Robbie said shaking her. He bent down and kissed her lips. He didn't know what would happen but, he was desperate. He carefully picked her up and carried her down the road to a gas station.

At the gas station was Jade asking the gas station owner if he had seen Cat and Robbie anywhere. He pointed to Robbie carrying Cat. Jade whipped around. "CAT!" She shrieked. She ran down the hill. She punched Robbie hard and he carefully placed Cat on the pavement. Jade whipped out her cell phone.

The whole gang was sitting in the waiting room. Andre had been home sick when this all happened so Beck had to fill him in.

Beck had told Robbie when he got to the hospital that his car was parked around back and the gang(minus Andre)wanted to see Robbie and Cat "get it on". When it started raining the gang all fled to Beck's car but it wouldn't start. Jade's car worked but by the time they all got in Robbie and Cat were gone. They all ran around the road trying to find them but, no one had seen them. This made Robbie cry. He had hurt Cat by trying to walk home. His stupidity probably killed her.

Cat's mom and dad came and they paced in front of the desk waiting for them to let family in to see Cat. After a few hours the doctor finally came out.

"Where's Robert Shapiro?" The doctor announced. Robbie meakly raised his hand. "Well you saved Caterina Valentine's life." The gang clapped and cheered Robbie.

"So?" Cat's dad asked.

"She has pneumonia and some mild amnesia from it," the doctor said. They all gasped.

"Amnesia?" Cat's mom asked.

"Pneumonia?" I mumbled.

"The amnesia's mild. It should all come back in a few days. She knows who her family and friends are but, recent events, in the past month or two she doesn't remember," he responded. Damn, Robbie thought. "She is ready to see family now." They all sighed in relief. "Two at a time please," the doctor requested. They all nodded. The doctor turned around and left.

"Who wants to go first?" Cat's mom asked.

"Robbie," Andre said immediately. Oh no, Robbie thought.

"Robbie," Beck said.

"Robbie," said Jade.

"Robbie," Tori smiled.

"Room 125 darling," Cat's mother smiled.

Robbie stood up, smiled faintly, and walked down the hallway toward Cat's room.
