Implied Cabbie lies herein.
Robbie didn't like the position that he had been put in – the one that Beck had pretty much put him in, come to think of it. Beck, Jade, Andre, and Robbie had all decided amongst themselves that night at Maestro's that whatever had happened to Tori, Cat didn't need to know about it – she needed to be shielded from it at all cost. Between the history of mental problems in the Valentine family, Cat's mostly controlled bipolar disorder, and the girl's innate innocence, the four friends had decided that it would be a bad decision to let Cat in on any information that they might be given.
Later that same night, Beck had quietly taken Robbie aside from the chaos and told him that the Canadian wanted to be sure to stick by his girlfriend's side during all of this, and that he was certain that Andre would want to personally see to Tori. These facts meant that left Robbie to make sure Cat was kept out of the loop on any potential information.
Considering that their theory about the attack on Tori had all but been verbally confirmed earlier at school, this also meant that Robbie was not looking forward to whatever Cat might have to say to him the next day after school when he went to her house to study with her for an upcoming test.
"Hi, hi!" Cat greeted him cheerfully, throwing open the door to her house when he knocked.
"Hey," he answered, stepping inside.
"I've already got a couple of sodas and some cheetos up in my room waiting for us, if you want to get straight to work," Cat suggested.
Robbie was surprised at her apparent focus – she didn't even mention the groups unwillingness to tell her their thoughts about Tori – but he wasn't about to bring it up if she didn't.
But once they were up in her room with the door closed soundly behind them, she did bring it up, just not in the way that he had expected her to.
"I've been thinking about what happened with Tori…" she started, but he cut her off.
"Cat," he begged, "Can we please not have this conversation again? I'm not going to tell you anything, mostly because I'm not sure of anything – no one is – but also because we don't want you to get hurt. Face it, Kit-Cat, you're our little sister and we don't like it when things happen that could hurt you. Telling you would make you hurt."
Cat smiled sweetly, scooting closer to him on the bedroom floor as she pointed out, "Everybody else may think of me as their little sister, but you don't."
"No, you're right," he said with a smile, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "I don't. You're more important to me then a little sister would be, and that is exactly why I don't want to tell you, because I don't want you to get hurt even more than the others don't want you to."
Cat sighed, laying her head over on his shoulder. "Okay," she whispered resignedly.
"'Okay?'" Robbie repeated.
"I trust you; if you don't think that I should have to know, then I won't bother you about it anymore."
"Thank you, Kit-Cat," Robbie replied, placing a gentle kiss onto her hair before releasing his hold on her. "Now, on that note, how about we move onto the French Revolution?"
"Just…" Cat paused before requesting, "Tell me one thing?"
"What's that?" Robbie asked cautiously.
"Tell me that our Tori is going to be okay."
Robbie pulled her close once again, knowing that no matter how much the group managed to shield Cat from, she would still ache for their friend no matter what.
"She will be," he promised softly, knowing that somehow all of them, together, would make sure of it.
Sorry about the shortness of this chapter, although it did come out longer then I had assumed it would. I'm going to try and get one part of the story each from everybody's POV, thus last but not least is Andre. Reviews make my day full of sunshine and spur me on in my writing! Thanks!:)
