I don't own anything except from Dani, David and Patrick's past. By the way, David is slightly based in Harvey Specter (Suits, my new obsession. I don't own him either sadly) :D I just did it for fun. And everything legal and medical is based in my experience of watching House and Law and order (if i did it correctly I would have to investigate and then it would take me longer). Thanks to Kate and to ChainGangHottieWithKillerLeg sx.

Chapter 11

Bianca arrived at the hospital and she found Kat waiting for her in the main entrance.

"What the hell happened?" Bianca asked as soon as she reached her sister.

"I think Patrick is in loved with someone else" Kat said quietly.

"Why aren't you with him?"

"He is asleep, and Dani went to her hotel to do the same." Kat looked so sad that Bianca wanted to cry. "I swear, they are perfect together, they have secret games, memories, and she knows what he is thinking before he even says it. I could never do that. Do you know what the worst part is?"

Bianca was afraid of the answer, so she just shook her head.

"The worst part is that I took him for granted, in school, he was always surrounded by bimbos, but I always felt above them, so I didn't care. Deep down inside of me, I knew he was too smart for them. But this Dani, she is studying at Texas, she likes reading, and she is beautiful. You know Bianca, those people really should pay more taxes." Kat spoke so quickly that her sister only nodded in support. "I don't know what to do! What worries me is the fact he never spoke about her. He says she is only her friend, but I think there is much more to it" Kat finished.

"Have you ever considered that he might have just said the truth? I mean Kat, every time you think Patrick is messing with you, it turns out to be you just being paranoid. Give him a chance! Maybe that's why he never told you anything. He thought you would just make a big deal out of it which you are. OK. She is pretty, they have fun together, but at the end of the day, you are his girlfriend, not Dani."

"Your right when did you became the sensitive one?" Kat asked smiling.

"When you fell down the road of LOVE" Bianca joked. "This makes me believe I never really loved Joey. I never felt the way that I think you do."

"And what about Blank?" Kat asked.

"What about him?" Bianca pretended she didn't understand the question.

"Come on! Did you have a good time?"

"Yea, it was fun. Although I'm not sure if he wants to keep me in the friend department or if he is serious. He asked me out, he had a plan and he payed. So technically, it is a date. But he asked me because he thought it would give me ideas for the prom."

"That's an excuse and you know it" Kat interrupted.

"Well, yea. It was fun, except for the Michelle part. We mostly danced and talked, and we walked by the beach! By the way don't tell dad about that last part."

"Of course I will! Dad would love to hear you had sex on the beach" Kat said in her I'm-making-fun-of-you-tone.

"There goes the nice moment" Bianca said imitating her sister.

"You started by implying I was stupid enough to tell dad" Kat defended herself.

"Anyway, I..."

Bianca was about to reply, when Dani arrived looking worried.

"Hi, I presume you are Bianca." Dani said to the blond girl.

"Hi, you must be Dani." In that instant Bianca knew she had been right, the girl was freaking beautiful. Kat was right she should pay more taxes.

"Sorry to interrupt you two. But I really need you Kat! David just arrived; he managed to get an airplane ticket on the last minute We need to pick him up." Dani said.

"Can't he take a cab?" Kat asked starting to feel the anger through her veins.

"No, he can't." Dani answered determined.

"We can't leave Patrick alone!" Kat voice was getting louder.

"I can stay if you want. I mean Dad is probably getting drunk with Joan by now, and Blank is writing a paper for English."

"The paper, shit!" Kat screamed. She had completely forgotten about the essay.

"Then, it's perfect. Bianca can stay, We pick up David, then if you want David and I can help you with your paper. I have my laptop in the hotel." Dani spoke quickly.

"I don't need your help." Kat said.

"Then don't take it. You can write on a napkin if you want to." Dani said with such tranquillity, that she didn't move an eyelash. "Now we really have to go. Bianca, call us if anything happens and if Patrick asks say we went to sleep."

Dani grabbed an angry Kat by the arm and took her to the parking lot and then to her red jeep. Kat couldn't hate the girl more; she even had her childhood dream car.

"Why are we lying to Patrick?" Kat asked once the car had reached the highway.

"Because, Patrick would get suspicious."

"Can you at least be honest once? What the hell is happening?" Kat said exasperated.

"Patrick told me you were smart. Not that I can see it." Dani answered with her typical queen of ice manner.

"Who the hell you think you are judging me?" Kat was at the verge of screaming.

"I could ask the same thing. You were the one who wanted to slap me the moment you saw me. So don't play the nice girl part it doesn't suit you." Her voice became deep as her eyes.

They kept in complete silence most of their journey. Dani had the music loud, she had good music taste. She really was flawless. Although, Kat wanted to throw her of the car.

"¡Maldita sea!" Dani said, she turned and saw a puzzled Kat. "Sorry, I'm swearing in Spanish. We are late."

"David can't wait?" Kat asked, wondering if the girl was a bipolar.

"He can, believe me. I'm just worried. That's all."

"You are worried because you want to be. I mean you brought me here with a hidden purpose, which I'm pretty sure is your reason to be worried." Kat was so frustrated with her.

"Sorry, you are right. Can I really trust you? I know you hate me, but this is about Patrick." Dani said with such an emotion, that Kat did not the heart to insult her.

"Why would you think otherwise? I'm his girlfriend, I really care for him" Kat said.

"Ok, I'm playing my friendship with Patrick right now. You should know I would never do such a thing if I thought there was some way around it." She kept in silence for a moment, like she was trying to find the right words. "Patrick thinks David just came as a visitor. He is coming as a lawyer. David and I believe Patrick hasn't being honest with us, about his relationship with Joe, his..."

"Stepfather, I know he has a difficult relationship with him." Kat said.

"Patrick told you about Joe?" Dani was amazed. "I knew, he wanted to tell you everything, I just didn't know how much that was. Wow. He must really love you." Dani said smiling. "Sorry for being such a bitch earlier, I just didn't know if you were trustworthy, and I had this idea of you not really appreciating Patrick."

"Why would you think that?" Kat asked feeling slightly guilty. Because she knew there was some rightness in that statement.

"Well that's what happens when you are the one listening to your friend complain. Besides, if you had seen the lost causes I had endured being Patrick's best friend. When it came to his female choices, he is the most stupid boy in the room."

"So you thought I was one of his bimbos?" Kat asked.

"Well, yes. Blame it on the experience. However, if Patrick trusts you, I can do the same."

"I don't know if I should feel offended or just congratulate you" Kat eyes were glued to Dani's happy face.

"If you have to chose, please choose the second one." Dani flipped her hair. "By the way, can you just hold your curiosity until David arrives, he can explain the situation way better than I can."

"Ok. But meanwhile tell me who this mysterious David is." Kat felt much more at ease with Patrick's friend.

"Well, he is Patrick's lawyer. He was a student in Mr. Verona's class at Harvard."

"I thought Patrick's father was in the Science department." Kat interrupted.

"Well, David was supposed to be a scientist but after the first year he switch to law. He became a friend of Patrick and Pedro, Patrick's father, because, when Patrick had to go with his father to a class, David, instead of paying attention, played with Patrick. So he became Patrick's official babysitter. He became so close to them that he went to Chile for holidays. Pedro left David in charge of Patrick's inheritance. You'll like him; he is an ass, but a charming one."

They reached the parking lot in the airport. Dani took her cell phone and dialled.

"Yea, I'm here. Where? Ok, of course I brought her. I'm far smarter than all your associates put together and you know it... Because I'm wiser... Prettier that's understatement." Dani was talking with an amused look in her face.

Dani walked fast in front of Kat. She kept talking in the phone. Kat tried to listen, but failed miserably. They arrived to a small cafe, were a blond man in his early thirties or late twenties, dressed like an Ivy League boy, was talking on the phone. Dani saw him, and literally ran to him; he smiled and hugged her with the same enthusiasm.

"It's been too long" he murmured.

For the first time Kat saw his face. His golden hair contrasted with his almost black eyes. He wore a blue navy shirt and light brown pants. He had a very cocky smile, like he knew something you didn't.

"this is Kat" Dani said, after letting David go. But he still kept his arm around her shoulders.

"I'm David" he said offering his hand to Kat.

"Nice to meet you." She said, not quite sure if she could trust him.

"She doesn't like me" David said to Dani.

"Don't worry, she hated me. In your case, I think, it's your looks. How many times have I told you not to look so arrogant?"

"Many Times, not sure, you have kept telling me that since you were 9" David said smiling at the girl next to him.

"And you keep doing it. Really! " Dani pretended to be insulted.

"In my defence: A husband would never listen to his wife" David said letting Dani go, and taking his shoulder pack and briefcase, that had been in the floor.

"You aren't married, right?" Kat asked in shock.

"Of course, not. It was in this stupid fair. They have a false judge marrying people. Patrick and David made a bet, David lost, so he had to marry me. I still can't believe you made me the punishment. I was 12, he was 22." Dani explained.

"Oh come on! Patrick was a boy who couldn't think of anything worst that to endure a girl for the rest of his life." He started walking, and the girls follow him.

They got to the car. Dani got to the driver's seat, David was left in the back seat. As soon as they were in the car, David asked.

"Have you told her anything?"

"No, I thought it was better to let you do the honours"

"Is this the big secret?" Kat asked

"We have reasons to believe that Patrick was hit by his stepfather" David said in a matter-of-fact voice.

"How do you know?" Kat asked.

"The police called me. I'm Patrick's emergency number. I told them what I knew and convinced them to let me talk to him first. If Patrick sees cops, he would shut his mouth and won't open it again." David said keeping his eyes in the road in front of him.

"What are the options?" Dani asked in a whisper, Kat realised she look so serious, like she wanted to cry.

"Emancipation might work; he would be seventeen for another four months. However, I don't think he would do that to his mother. Not that she doesn't deserve it. So I'm planning on making them an offer they can't refuse."

Dani saw David through the mirror and both of them smiled.

"Well, besides quoting the Godfather, what else do you have in mind?" Kat rolled her eyes.

"I like her" David told Dani.

"I thought you would" Dani said, looking at David.

"well?" Kat asked again.

"I will need your help. Both of you know much more about Patrick than me. I need all the facts you can get me." David answered.

"I have a copy of Patrick's school record and I know where the office of his shrink is" Kat said.

"He is been with a shrink?" Dani asked out loud.

"Yea and He is sleep walking again. He told me it was the stress due to his family situation. One night, he just asked me to stay in. He even told me that he would rather sleep in the park, then going back home."

"Let's go to Kat house, I need to see that record. Today is Sunday, so I will just have to wait for the shrink."

The rest of the journey was at least weird. First they arrived to the Stratford residence and found Joan and Walter cooking, and without wine. Kat noticed. She introduced David and Dani to Joan and Walter. And then the real surprise started. David and Dani had a way of making people like them that was beyond extraordinary. Dani made a comment on the food, and David remarked Walter's miniatures. With that both of them gained an invitation to eat, which both of them elegantly accepted.

By the end of the meal, Walter was so impressed with David, that Kat wondered if he was going to adopt him. Although is she was honest he was hard to resist. He knew sports, politics, business and music. He was the best story teller ever. Kat analysed everyone around the table. No one was free from David's spell.

After eating, to Kat and Dani's surprise he told the truth of his whereabouts to Walter and Joan, whom after the first shock offered to help. Joan even said she had an extra room at home, which she was thinking to put out for lease. It was independent from the rest of the house and it was built to be the guest room. David took it.

Then they went to Kat's room where she handed the file to David. David read the file several times, and made notes. Meanwhile he told them what to do, but he didn't seem to believe it was important to tell them what he was up to. He asked Dani to translate some papers that were in Spanish. While Kat had to write down everything she knew about Patrick. If it had being in another moment, Kat would have explode; however, since it was for Patrick's sake, she endured it. She wasn't so confident, though. She was afraid of Patrick's reaction.

MEANWHILE

Patrick opened his eyes and found a blond girl reading a magazine. She was wearing a pink t-shirt and drinking a frozen moka.

"Hey"

"Hi Bianca, where are Kat and Dani?" He asked.

"I offer to take care of you, while those two got some sleep. You want me to call them?" She asked while leaving her magazine in the small table next to Patrick's bed.

"No, it's ok. Shouldn't you be with Edward Cullen?" he asked after a moment of silence.

"He is doing his homework, and please never called him Edward Cullen again."

"I thought you were a Twilight fan"

"Me? No. I'm too old for that." Bianca said, she might let Blank know her dark secret, but Patrick would laugh at her for the next decade.

"So you really like the dude?" Patrick said "He must have a way with Stratford girls."

"Are you jealous, Patrick?" Bianca asked smiling with the anticipation of a good piece of gossip.

"Of course, not. Kat is dating me in case you haven't notice."

"This is so funny. She is jealous of you, and you are jealous of her. If the people in the school knew it, you would win the price Most Corny couple. Well if such a price even existed. Maybe I can create it." Bianca was daydreaming.

"No. You won't do such a thing." Patrick threatened Bianca. "If you do it, I would start a gossip about you being a fake blonde."

"You wouldn't dare. Besides I'm natural, and you would be lying and I would be saying the truth." Bianca replied.

"Who would care about the true? People would believe that you are a fake blonde more easily than they would think that Kat and I are corny." Patrick reasoned.

"OK. You got me. But can I ask you something?"

"Shoot" Patrick said while he made himself more comfortable on the bed.

"Why did you never tell Kat about Dani?" Bianca asked feeling a little bit ashamed.

"Because, if I were dating you I would have told you." Patrick said; however, he realised his reason didn't seem to make sense to the young girl sitting next to him. "You have Cameron, you would perfectly understand a friendship with someone of the opposite sex. That is something you wouldn't understand if you haven't lived it. I'm pretty sure she would ask me if I love Dani. There I can't lie. When I say yes, she will take it in the worst of meanings."

"Well is it?" Bianca asked.

"Do you want Cameron to be happy? Do you care for him?" Patrick asked.

"Yes of course."

"There you have it. That is a kind of love."

Bianca and Patrick kept talking for a while, until it was time to watch Phineas and Ferb.
