The following day, Robbie, Cat, Tori and Andre were all suddenly awoken by ridiculously loud banging on Robbie's front door downstairs. Cat was instantly awake and grabbing onto the first person she could find, which happened to be Tori. The brunette wrapped her arms around the redhead comfortingly as Robbie and Andre left the room and slowly and cautiously began making their way downstairs, usure of who would be banging so violently at the door.
Their answer came, however, when Robbie quickly pulled the door open and revealed Beck and Jade. Jade immediately pushed past her friends and ran up the stairs towards where she heard Tori's and Cat's voices coming from. Beck, on the other hand, greeted his friends with hugs before being led upstairs to Robbie's room to join the girls.
Jade rushed into the bedroom and immediately went straight over to Cat. She wrapped her arms around her tightly as the redhead buried her face in her leather jacket. Cat's hands grasped at Jade's back as she fought tears once more, whimpering softly. Jade gently rocked her best friend in her arms, glad that she was okay. The boys entered the room and Andre closed the door behind them before they found a space on the bed. Beck sat down on Cat's other side and the redhead broke away from her best friend to hug him tightly.
"So... we think he's back already," Andre began, knowing they couldn't avoid the conversation - as much as they wanted to.
Cat whimpered and nodded, "I just have a feeling," she spoke softly, barely looking up as she played with the rings on Beck's fingers to distract herself from her thoughts.
"He was in your room?" Jade confirmed, stroking Cat's hair way from her face.
Cat nodded silently.
"Wait... couldn't we be over-reacting just a little?" Tori asked, trying to be logical.
"Who else would break into Cat's house and only go into her room?" Jade challenged, raising an eyebrow. Tori looked at her for a moment before sighing, not having the energy to fight with her.
"What do we do?" Cat whimpered.
"I'll tell my dad what's going on," Tori decided.
Beck nodded, "Good idea, he help so much last time."
"I don't want to go home," Cat said a few moments later.
Jade looked down at her best friend, "You can stay at my house if you want?" she offered because, honestly, she didn't want Cat go home either. Cat nodded and smiled softly, resting her head on Jade's shoulder.
Robbie stretched and looked at his watch, "How about we go for some food? Get our minds off this for a bit," he suggested, disliking the serious atmosphere which had appeared in the room.
Beck smiled, "Good idea."
Andre nodded, "Yeah, we need that."
Even the girls agreed and several minutes later, they were piling into their cars and heading out, hoping to forget their troubles for at least a little while and just catch up.
"So how was New York?" Jade asked as she sipped her coffee and settled back into Beck's arms as the group shared a booth in a small cafe after eating breakfast.
For the first time in hours, a smile spread across Cat's face as she thought about the trip she and Robbie had just taken, "It was really awesome. But... I don't understand why they call it the Big Apple. The apples there are just normal size," she thought out loud, making the rest of the group laugh at her randomness.
Robbie chuckled and pulled the redhead closer to him, "It really was an awesome trip. How was Canada?"
"It was great. The people were nice, well... some of them..." Jade trailed off, raising her eyebrows.
Tori smiled confusedly, "What do you mean?"
Beck laughed and shook his head, "Lets just say Jade had a run-in with a priest and erm... things got ugly..."
"He started it," Jade mumbled into her coffee.
Cat giggled softly and bumped her best friend's shoulder.
"But apart from that it was a great trip. My grandparents loved her," Beck smiled proudly, nuzzling his nose into Jade's hair. Jade fought a smile and took another drink of coffee.
Tori turned around and looked out the giant window behind her, before sighing and turning back, "I don't want to ruin this, but I'm getting the feeling that we're being watched," she leaned in.
Andre's hand immediately tightened its grip on Tori's thigh protectively as he looked around, suddenly realising what she meant. He could feel somebody's eyes on them.
"Can we go?" Cat whimpered.
"Yeah, lets go," Beck said.
They each threw their money onto the table to pay for their food before they left the cafe as quickly as possible without looking strange. They made it out to their cars and stood by them for a few moments. Cat clung to Robbie and constantly looked over her shoulder as everyone talked.
"So what's the plan?" Jade asked as she leaned against Beck's car.
"I'm gonna go talk to my dad, maybe he could help us again," Tori said as she checked her phone.
Beck nodded, "Let us know what he says."
"Cat, do you wanna come with us and come back to my house?" Jade asked the redhead.
Cat nodded and Robbie kissed her lovingly before everyone climbed into their vehicles and drove out of the parking lot, never forgetting the feeling that someone was watching them.
"Thanks for letting me stay, Jadey," Cat spoke up from her position on Jade's bed as she watched her best friend unpack her suitcases - and by unpack she meant throwing things into the bottom of her closet or the laundry hamper.
Jade smiled, "Don't mention it," she said as she sniffed a shirt and shrugged before throwing it into her closet, making Cat giggle softly. "So New York was fun?" she asked a few moments later as she sat down on her bed.
Cat smiled softly and nodded, "Uh huh, and Robbie is just..." she finished with a happy sigh, making Jade smile.
Just as Jade went to say something else, the doorbell from downstairs rang loudly through Jade's house. Jade frowned as she heard it.
"Who's that?" Cat asked.
Jade shrugged, "I'm not sure... I'm not expecting anyone," she thought out loud before shaking her head and standing up, "C'mon, lets go find out."
