Catriona's P.O.V
I woke up and with sunlight beaming down on me and the memories of Gavin and I finally getting together last night meant that ,for a split second ,I was euphoricallyhappy. But then I looked up and saw Macy Misa, my best friend , curled in a ball on her bed , the outlines of her eyes still red from the crying she did last night. Thankfully she was asleep. Suddenly the sun didn't seem to be shining so bright.
I forced myself to sit up on the mattress on the floor and to wake up properly. But I was still so sleeepyy. Right Shower time. I stood up nearly hitting myself on the drawer above my head "Aww fuc.." I stopped mid swearword as I knocked over a picture of Brad and Macy in their prom clothes. That would be the last thing Macy would want to see. Looking round her room I started grabbing anything that could remind her of Brad. There was an awful lot of photos of them and I kinda knew the reason why . Not that I'd ever tell Macy... 5 minutes later and after hiding away teddy bears , love notes and a gazillion pictures I was letting the warm water clense away the dirt from the night before but my mind was working at mega speeds. What was Macy more upset about? Her and Brad breaking up? or Nick kissing Seren?
One thing was for sure was my friend wasn't happy and I refused to let her sink into the darkness like she had before the first time that Jonas kid had hurt her. Funnily enough I used to be good friends with Nick too. He was in my spanish class, One of the only classes we both had without Macy and we were partners and we spent years bonding over irregular verbs and how Enrique Inglasis was the best looking man on Earth. Ok maybe that was me saying the last bit but still me and Nick were tight. Nowadays I was just disappointed and mad at him for the way he'd treated Macy. It was like in Sex and the City the Movie when Big leaves Carrie at the alter and they meet in the middle of New York and Carrie throws the bouquet at him? Then Charlotte comes over and scares off Big. Well Yeah. In this case I was Charlotte. Everyone always told me that I compared life to movies and tv shows so much . I guess I do it because there always seems to be a happy ending in films and tv and so in order to create a happy ending in my own life I copied the characters of the shows I watched to make my own happy ending. In this case I was trying to make Macy's ending happy and not mine for once.
I sat down in the shower, really thinking about how I could improve Macy's life. Her Dad? Well there was nothing I could do about that except maybe speak to the president? Her and Brad? Well the thing was I never thought Macy should get with Brad. I think he was just a rebound that went too far. They were so better off as friends. Macy and Nick? Nick, Her first true love. 1/3 of the boyband Jonas. If only his fans knew how he really treated his women... Right. Plan of action. As any good tv character would know if your best friend just broke up with her boyfriend you'd do anything you could to take her mind off of it and that meant I had to have an action packed day planned. Macy had to pick up her brother from the airport at 3 and it was 10 0'Clock now. We had plenty of time to shop away the bad times!
Walking back into Macy's room , I saw the girl herself sat on the windowsill staring off into the distance. Looking lost. My heart broke a little for her. "Macy I'm glad you are awake" I said trying to sound bright and breezy. She turned and gave me a sad smile "Why is that then Cat?" "Well because I have such a day ready for us" She breathed in deeply "I'm not sure I'm up for it . I just want to chill" Hmm This could be harder than I thought .. "Mope you mean? Come on up you get . Get in the shower , get dressed , we are going to breakfast . My treat" Macy took one last look out of the window and then got up . "You're right. Lets go out!"
A few hours later and we were shopping to our hearts content. "So what tv show is this like then Cat?" Macy smiled " Gossip Girl, 90210?" She knew me so well . "Any good tv show character enjoys shopping!" I said smiling "Nah I mean what TV show taught you to distract me all day so I wouldn't think of Brad or ... him" "That so wasn't my plan!" She laughed "Well whatever it is, It is still working"
I knew it had been working. She seemed happy and carefree. But sometimes I caught her looking sadly at couples in the street or in the shop adverts and that encouraged me more to cheer her up. "Cat, I gotta go home soon. Picking up Kai at 3. Can you drop me home" She said holding up all her purchases. "Sure" I said and we began to make our way to the exits
Although I was concentrating on the road my mind was else where. Part 1 of my days plan was complete. Part 2 maybe slighlty trickier. "What you thinking about?" asked Macy. "Huh? Nothing?" She laughed at me "I can totally tell you are, You didn't even commented on that Ellie Goulding was on the radio" I listen quickly "Oh YAYY. I love Ellie Goulding." I shouted turning the music up to hear the last bit of Starry eyed. What . A . Tune. "So what were you thinking of so deeply?" asked Macy."Errr What to get my Mom for christmas. Not long now" Macy stared at me "Catriona its September" Whoops "Yeah only a couple of months." I laughed trying to cover up my mistake. Thankfully I was pulling up infront of her house. She bounced out and leant into the window. "Thanks for today . It has really kept my mind of stuff. You are a good friend" She smiled. "No probs" I smiled weakly. She turned to go into the house and I beeped the horn. Time for part 2.
Time for me to have a little chat with the boys...
Brad worked part time in the local mechanics. He would definatly be there. And he would definatly not be expecting a visit from me. Parking out front I whistled. Brad's head popped up from under a car bonnet but ducked as soon as he saw who it was. "Nice try Brad" I called. He stood up again. "What do you want Williams" "To talk". He picked up a spanner and began to walk back into the garage to return it I think . Hmm not willing to talk. Well Summer off the Oc would not just quit there. No sireee. She'd walk right up to him and say "So I want to talk to you".. So I did. "So I want to talk to you" I said putting my hands on my hips. He finished polishing some light bulb thingy and just said "I'm not going to get back with Macy". Well Duuuhh. "I know, I'm just coming to see if you are alright" He looked at me oddly. "I thought you'd hate me.?" I smiled. "I could never hate you. Besides I have a feeling you and Macy will be friends soon enough" He nodded as well "I don't think we were really a couple . Just friends with benefits" I cringed "Ok too much information. I just wanted to check you were Ok and that you still wanted to be Macy's friend"
He nodded again .He was like a bobbing dog! "Of course. You guys are my best gal pals." I snorted "We are your only pals. Just give it some time though Ok?, Till Macy is ready" He frowned "Of course" He sighed a little "So what is going to happen with Macy and Nick now then?" He almost spat Nick's name out. He really hated Nick because of what he had done to Macy. I shrugged my shoulders "Not a clue. Those two.. Its like a TV show y'know so many twists and turns." He laughed "Just in your mind.. I gotta get back to work but we ok? " I smiled "Totally" he looked relieved "Good.. So where are you off now ?" He enquired. I laughed and turned . As I walked away I shouted "To talk to the big bad wolf of course. ".. I strutted my stuff out of there. Summer couldn't have done a better job herself. Macy and Brad was over . Finito but they could still be friends. Yes!. But the next conversation was going to be a little bit more trickier and I began to worry that Macy may hate me for it after even though I was trying to help . But even before I could cross that bridge I had to find Mr Wolfy himself.

A/N: Sorry for such a long wait! I ve been so busy recently but I spent one of my lessons working out where I want this story to go so hopefully it will make the updating process much more quicker. I thought I'd mix it up a bit and put Catriona's P.O.V and show a bit of her personality! This chapter was really to introduce some ideas that will be important further on in the story. And are you guys excited for Catriona to finally talk it out with Nick? I sure am! Ellie Goulding is a babe and I will always mention her in my stories cause I love her music! Sorry if you haven't seen the OC or Sex in the City: The Movie but it was just showing Catriona's obsession with shows. So what do you guys think of Catriona? Would you like to see a bit of her's and Gavin's relationship? And would you like me to start doing shoutouts to all the people that have reviewed or maybe reply to you all? I thought about it but I wasn't sure if you guys would like it. I totally don't mind! So y'all have to tell me if you want it to happen!
