A/N: New chapter, and sorry it took forever. I've been feeling really discouraged about this story since it is apparently 'poorly executed', as stated by an anon. So, whatever. I'm just going to finish it up and move on. Thanks to all of you who enjoy this story. It means a lot. Having someone comment on your grammar and the way you write in general, hurts a lot. What if English wasn't my first language? Excuse this babbling, I'm still angry and hurt, so its out of frustration. Only five more chapters left anyway...
Its short by the way.

The Edge
Chapter 10: The Mess I Made
I'm staring at the mess I made as you turn, you take your heart and walk away.
The next day, Cat drove to a local diner to meet with someone. She entered, looking around, and began to walk towards the lonely boy. She sat across a booth from Daniel, who was currently playing with his french fries. She observed his swollen face, "Robbie really hurt you." She said quietly as Daniel looked up at her, throwing a few french fries toward her.
"Did you realize he was a monster or something? Why did you ask me to meet you here?" There was a smug smile on his face.
Cat frowned, "I want to talk to you about coming clean."
"Why would I do that shit? You must got me really fucked up in that pretty little head of yours."
"You're partly the reason why my boyfriend and my close friends are in jail. If anyone is a monster, its you."
"What's your point?"
"Come clean, and help Robbie, Beck, and Andre out of jail."
"Why would I put myself behind bars for three guys that hate my guts."
"Because you owe them, especially Robbie."
"What do I owe that brat?"
"He didn't rat you out when he got falsely arrested for racing in a stolen car with drugs in the backseat. He didn't, as much as he wanted to, convince Roma in pressing charges when you abused her. He also didn't mention you during questioning. He took the blame for everything, saying that he started the fight."
"Why would he do that?"
"Because he remembers the good times. He remembers when you were the best of friends along with Beck and Andre, and you all were inseparable. He feels, that although you both want nothing to do with each other, you still have some good in you and you'll make things right. You should really think about it." Cat stood, getting ready to leave when Daniel grabbed her arm.
"Can I ask you a question?"
Cat cautiously sat back down as Daniel let go of her arm. "Yes."
"Do you see yourself with Robbie forever?"
Cat paused, thinking about the question, "Daniel, I understand that you really like me and want something to happen between us, but yes. I love Robbie too much to give up on our relationship. I'm sorry, but... he is the one for me."Cat smiled, "You'll find her, I promise." She then left him.
Daniel sat alone again, thinking about the conversation he just had with Cat. Was she right? Should he confess? He took a deep breath, leaving a tip for the waitress and making his way towards the hospital. He had to make things right.
Beck met up with Andre and Robbie in the cafeteria for breakfast. He had missed his friends since after dinner, which no one ate, they were all separated to different cells. He had to share a cell with a smelly prisoner in jail for molestation. This was a terrifying place. "When are we going to get out of here?" He asked taking a seat across from Andre and next to Robbie. "The guards said we'll be in front of a judge around noon... tomorrow." Robbie frowned.
"Tomorrow? We have to stay here for another night?" Andre asked, wide eyed. He had to share a cell with a serial killer who would talk to himself unless Andre sung him songs. He was tired of being a human radio. Its not fun on an empty stomach and the food here looked too gross to even fathom eating. "Yeah, the judge is still on vacation, delay in flights." Robbie said quietly. He contemplated whether he should tell the guys of Cat's visit earlier...
"Hey, look fresh meat!" A muscular prisoner exclaimed pointing towards the teenagers' table. "You boys want to join us for basketball?" A much small prisoner asked, walking over to them. Beck looked at his friends, "Uhm... sure?" the muscular prisoner suddenly picked all three teenagers up, hugging them. "Yay! New friends." His big voice boomed.
A/N: Next one is 'Save Me' and its longer and more eventful. Trust.
