Apologies for the wait between chapters two and three, I mentioned in my other story that I had terrible problems with my laptop that sort of put everything else on hold and haven't really found that thought process to come up with a new chapter until now, conveniently after I just finished watching the latest Walking Dead episode, I won't spoil that though.


*NO P.O.V*

"I wonder where she is..." Tori sighed staring at her phone for the thousandth time, still standing by her locker surrounded by her friends.

"Maybe try giving her a call again?" Andre suggested, Tori took her phone out and quickly went to her contacts, finding the name marked "Cat" with a little heart at the end, she'd hit call and put the phone to her ear, waiting, hoping for something.

"The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable" was all Tori heard before the line went dead, she looked at her phone in disbelief to make sure she had dialed the right number, trying again and hearing the same message, "the number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable"

"Well?" Andre asked watching Tori attempt to dial twice, she looked at him confused, "it just said the number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable, it didn't ring or anything" Andre raised an eyebrow in surprise, if there's one thing he knew about Cat it's that she was never more than a few feet from her phone, and it was always on, always.

"Well, let me try maybe you're phone service is having problems" he suggested taking his own phone from his pocket, finding the name "Cat" in his contacts and putting the phone to his ear.

"The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable"

"Same thing" he sighed putting the phone back in his pocket, meeting Tori's worried expression with a more reassuring one, "have either of you found her yet?" Jade asked sternly as she walked over with her arm around Beck's waist and his around hers in return, "no, it just keeps saying the number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable" Tori said checking her phone once more in the hope she might have got a text or a missed call from Cat, "well where the hell is she I'm hungry!" Jade yelled taking her phone out and becoming the third person to attempt to dial Cat, and the third person to receive same message.

"The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable"

"I guess her phone is off" Beck reasoned in an attempt to calm Jade down, "Cat never turns her phone off" Tori said back with her eyes glued to her phone as she typed out yet another text message, Robbie ran over, holding his phone in his hand, "you guys... its just saying the ph-" "we know!" Jade yelled to interrupt before he could repeat the message, "did you check everywhere?" Jade asked him, "everywhere... the classrooms, the acting hall, even that little room in the attic she was living in for a while" he explained while still gasping for breath, "living in?" Tori questioned finally looking away from her phone, "shut up Vega!" Jade yelled cutting her off, "what about the bathroom?" she asked, Andre, Beck and Tori all exchanged confused glances with one another, "even the bathrooms, she's not in any of them"

"Why were you checking the girls bathrooms?" "how many times do I have to say shut up Tori? it doesn't matter where he was checking I just want him to find that stupid little red head so we can get out of here" Jade threw her hands up in anger as she stormed over to lean against one of the lockers near Tori's.

"Maybe we just go? she's probably just at home?" Andre asked, noticing the tension was beginning to creep through the group. "He's right, I mean we do have that big homework assignment she probably just wanted an early start on it" Beck added, as usual being the calming voice of reason in the group, "yeah, and well... that is the only time she doesn't really pay attention to her phone" Andre told them. "great now can we please get out of here?" Jade pretty much demanded as she stormed toward the door, the boys all following her, "you coming Tori?" Andre asked noticing she hand't quite moved yet.

"I suppose you're right" she thought aloud as she hurried along to catch up with the rest of them, "I just hope she's okay"


*Cat's P.O.V*

"Please make sure your seat belts are fastened, we will be departing in 5 minutes" the voice of the captain came over the speaker, the stewardesses began doing there usually safety routine instructing passengers what to do in the case of an emergency, but I had heard it one too many times to care so I simply stared out of the window and let the sounds drown out behind my thoughts.

What will I do when I land? That's a far few hours away from now so I figure I've got plenty of time to figure it all out, I'm sure I can get a cab from the airport to a hotel right? London can't be that different.

Where will I sleep? I just told you, a hotel.

How much will it cost? Oh... well now there's where I start to fly off the rails because I only have a certain amount of money to my name and no way to earn any more just yet, but I'm sure it'd be enough for a week or two? I hope.

Should I get a job? I mean I doubt I'd be able to go to school, I doubt I'd even want to go to school so why not, I guess I could find something reasonable I suppose?

What if I can't find a job? Then I sleep at the airport? maybe someone will help me out?

What if they don't let me sleep at the airport? Well... I guess... outside?

So, I'm homeless now? No Cat, you... WE, are not homeless, we can do this.

But you just said- I know what I said, just trust me on this alright.

Okay, Thank you.

The engines began to whir and the "fasten seat belt" sign lit up, everyone began making sure they were seated correctly and that they're children or friends were too, the wheels began to turn and the plan slowly began to move, picking up speed as it moved toward the runway, where it began to pick up even more speed and pretty soon it was barreling down the runway, I kept my eyes out the window watching it all move by and gradually the wheels started to lift off the floor and the plane rose higher and higher, eventually to the point we were high enough to see the city of Hollywood, the sun was going down by now so all the street lights were on and various other lights glistened within the skyline, it was a beautiful sight and it reminded me of home... Oh god what if I've made a terrible mistake? I already miss my friends, and my family and my bed, I want to go home! Calm down Cat we'll be okay, I think...

Nerves were beginning to creep to the surface now, I could feel the tears slowly sliding down my cheeks as I stared out of the window, not shifting my eyes at all, locked on the lights down below in the city, that slowly began to blur as tears filled my eyes.
I watched for as long as I could, seeing the lights drift get smaller and smaller, drifting and fading away, until they were gone, behind me, my old life was behind me, my friends were behind me, my family was behind me, it was all gone, and to tell you the truth, I was scared, I'm a seventeen year old girl who thought running away and jumping on a plane would be a good idea and that shows just how much of a f*ck up I really am.

My eyes still stared out the window as the barely visible lights drifted away to the point were they were gone, I put my hand on the window and thought to myself "come back" hoping beyond hope that I would suddenly wake up in bed and this would all be just a dream, I've made a terrible mistake and I want to go home.

I don't have a home to go back to anymore.


That's all for this chapter, I know its not the longest but its the best I could do at this point in time, I hope you enjoyed it
