Title: Broken

Pairing: Catherine/Jackie

Rating: M for later chapters

(Catherine's POV)

Jackie implied that I could call her, but she also said to take care of myself.. it just seemed so final.. which is most likely why I have spent the last half an hour staring at her number on my phone. She didn't call me, she's young and has probably moved on, after all I am the one who said she wasn't worth the long distance relationship. It was stupid, but I didn't want to just be her college buddy at social events it was so humiliating and I was angry.

I ring..

"Hello..?"

It's only been a month but it feels like forever. My heart is racing and my mouth is dry.. god this was a mistake.. I hang up.

What has she done to me. I'm Catherine Stark, confident, in control. She was the frightened one. It's almost comical how our positions have reversed. I can still hear her voice in my head.

My phones ringing.. it's her it has to be, do I answer or ignore..

I'M CATHERINE STARK I have to scream to myself trying to pull myself together, I answer

"Hey porcupine.." I whisper

"Catherine...? Y..you just rang" she stutters and it's as cute as always "are you okay?"

I release the breath i've been holding "I miss you" there it is, I realise with a pang thats all I have to say. I want her with me but nothings changed, but I feel a million times better from hearing her voice and as selfish as it is knowing there is still something, some kind of connection between us. Knowing she still cares.

I hang up before she can reply. There have been many girls prior to her but for some reason I just can't shake Jackie. I turn my phone off so she can't call me back and I crawl under the covers trying to block out her voice, to hold back the images of our time together. The feel of her body.. oh god. Jackie.. where the hell are you.

(Jackie's POV)

I miss you. Those three little words haunt me. Catherine sounded so broken. Obviously I tried calling her back but her phone just went straight to voicemail. I sigh. What happened to us? When did this become so hard?

It's only been a month and I'm in the middle of filming my feature film. Obviously I think of Catherine.. I want to call her and tell her about my day, I wonder what she's doing now she's not teaching an mostly I want to crawl into her arms- the one place I feel safe, the one place I can call home. But how can I? She said I wasn't worth it, I keep thinking that maybe I shouldn't have pushed so hard. I honestly thought we'd work it out- all couples fight! I thought wrong.

I left it to her to call me. Clearly that had been another mistake to add to my growing list of fuck ups. Broken. That's my fault, I should have made sure she was okay instead of just riding off into the sunset. Filming kept me busy, kept me together and helped fill the void. With a pang I realize she had nothing.

Sighing in frustration I know what I must do.

"Hey Wayne" I mumble.

"Jackie, its 1am!" Dang he sounds pissed..

"I'm sorry, just something has come up.. clear my schedule."

I hang up before he can reply.

She needs me. I'm not going to let her down again.

Soooo maybe tempted into writing a second chapter.. what do you think?
