Cathy stood laughing at Caleb's sad face. She had just officially beaten him in mini golf, and he was butt hurt. "You cheated." He said to her.
"No Danvers, you just suck that bad." She said giggling.
They returned their putters to the mini golf station and headed to Caleb's car. "So, I think you are now my slave for a day. Am I correct?" Caleb said giving Cathy an evil smile.
"I suppose so," Cathy said with a sigh, "What do you need from me my master?"
Caleb laughed at her sarcasm. "How about another date?"
"I wasn't aware this was a date." Cathy said, raising her eyebrow.
"If it's not, then you're going to go out with me on our first date." Caleb said with a smile. "I had fun tonight, and not just to win this bet."
They got into the Mustang, and Cathy turned to Caleb. "Fine, you can have a date. I don't think I have a choice anyways."
"Good," Caleb said with a smile. "Friday night it is."
Cathy's phone went off as she realized she had left it in the car. "Fuck!" She said picking it up to see it was her brother.
"Hello." She answered calmly knowing John would be yelling at the other end.
"Why the hell didn't you call Randy yet? Why aren't you answering your phone?" John said angry.
"Possibly, because I'm not back to my dorm yet." She said with attitude.
"Where the hell are you?"
"Safe, I'm hanging up on you now. Call when I get back to the dorms." Cathy said quick, hanging up her phone.
"Who was that?" Caleb looked at her kind of scared.
"My very over protective big brother." She said looking at her phone.
She had 5 missed calls from John, and 8 from Randy. She had 6 voicemails, and 4 text messages.
Three of the texts were from John and Randy all saying "Where the hell are you?"
The fourth message was from Chase: Hey Cathy. I know I kind of went missing again, and I'm sorry. I really need to see you. Please stop by my dorm tonight?
Cathy just stared at her phone for a second, and then shut it without responding.
"Is everything okay?" Caleb asked.
Cathy forced a smile. "Yes, now can you please take me back for some sleep?"
Caleb laughed. "Yeah."
(!)
Cathy laid in bed thinking over the encounter she had with Chase. He shouldn't be on her mind after the night she had with Caleb, but she couldn't help it. That boy always found his way back into her head.
Cathy was walking back to her dorm when her arm was grabbed and she was slammed against the wall. Her first instinct was to scream, but she didn't when she realized it was Chase who grabbed her. "What the hell." She got out before he slammed his lips onto hers.
At first she kissed back, but her senses came back to her and Cathy pushed him off of her. "You no longer have the right to kiss me. You lost that privilege" With that Cathy stormed away from Chase, but he grabbed her arm again and spun her around to face him.
"Please, Cathy, don't go." Chase said softly while looking into her eyes.
Cathy yanked her arm out of his grip. "That doesn't work on me anymore." With that Cathy practically ran back to her dorm.
The second the door was shut she leaned against it, and slid down to the floor. Kate was with Pogue so Cathy knew she was safe, and alone to cry all she wanted to. The tears never came though. It was as if she were too numb.
Cathy heard her text tone go off. She picked it up to find it was Randy who text her. Not even bothering to check the message she called him knowing it'd just be him yelling at her.
"Hello." He answered.
"I'm sorry. I know I should have called."
"What's going on over there Cathy?"
"Nothing."
"Don't lie to me Cat. I can hear it in your voice."
"Can you come visit me when you have the chance?" There was silence over the phone, and Cathy knew the question shocked Randy.
"I don't think I can for another month, but I'll try."
"Okay."
"Just so you know, I covered for you, and lied to your brother saying you called me."
"Thank you for always having my back Randy."
"I'll always have your back Cat." Cathy smiled at his statement knowing what he meant.
"Goodnight Randal."
"Goodnight Cathleen."
Cathy set and alarm and then set her phone on her night stand. Shutting off the light Cathy hoped she'd get a full nights rest, but she knew her brain had other plans for her.

Chases POV:
Chase watched Cathy as she tossed and turned trying to sleep. He knew he was at fault for her restlessness, and couldn't help but feel guilty.
He wanted to laugh at himself for feeling guilty. Chase didn't feel guilt, but here he was, feeling guilty leaving Cathy to suffer while she was supposed to be resting peacefully. Guilty because he knew in a way he was pushing her towards Caleb. She didn't want Caleb, but Caleb wanted her. So, Chase had to make sure Caleb fell for Cathy so he could use her as leverage. Even if that meant losing the woman he loved to another man…
(!)
Chase watched Cathy for about half an hour before she finally fell asleep. He should have left the room. He couldn't help but lay next to her though. The need of having her body pressed against his was more addicting than his powers.
Chase went to touch Cathy, but stopped when he heard the door open. He used to vanish from site.
Seeing Kate come in the roomm he knew it was time for the next phase in his plan. If he already made Cathy restless, it was about to get worse…
A/N: Sorry I went MIA. I'll try harder.
