The alarm was set for 7 a.m and Kat just wanted to punch it so the thing could shut up already. It wasn't like her to wake up with hangovers, despite of her sassy and smartass atittude she considered herself a pretty responsible girl who knew when to stop when things got too far. Apparently not last night.

She remembered the events of last night in a blurr, Rob was there but then left and also Adam was there and she pratically had sex with him on the dancefloor, with a guy who wasn't her boyfriend. Kat couldn't help but feel a little bit guilty, she knew that she did nothing wrong but still if she saw Rob dancing on the dancefloor with some girl, she would be pretty mad.

But then again, he doesn't seem to care or to be interested about her life anymore and she decided that she was going to find out what he was hiding from her. Surprisingly, Adam turned out to be a good listener when he was wilingly to stop being an asshole to listen to her problems.

She quickly jumped out of bed and walked over to grab her Ipod and put some music, she was in the mood for some Nirvana, she only wanted to hear Kurt Cobain's voice right now.

Kat walked into her bathroom and took a quick shower and brushed her teeth, then she walked into the room and sang along with the music.

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home

I searched for form and land, for years and years

I roamed I gazed a gazely stare, we walked a million hills

I must have died alone, a long long time ago

She pulled some clothes from her wardrobe and wore a white crop top with the word 'Dope' imprinted on it, sheer stripes tights, wash denim shorts, bleached denim and leather jacket and black boots. She added some mascara and eyeliner, and she fixed her wild hair into a messy updo bun. She put her cross necklace and a silver ring, when she was all set she grabbed her bag and walked out of the room.

Her brothers were already eating breakfast and she sat on the table without saying a word.

"Morning sunshine." James bit into his toast as he looked over at her.

"Not really." She mumbled as she made a sandwich.

"So, is there something that you want to tell us?" James continued to look at her.

"I hate too much sugar on the coffee." Kat told him as she gave him her cup so he could pour some coffee.

"Seriously Kat, stop with the smartass retorts and answer James question." Tyler spoke up.

"What's with you? I'm the one with the hungover and I'm not as grupy as you two." She looked from James to Tyler.

"Well, I'm sorry but seeing a picture of my baby sister with some celebrity on TV, got me really grumpy." James scowled.

Kat just stopped eating and she could feel that shit was about to go down, was it possible that the paparazzi caught her with Adam?

"W-what?" She sttured.

"That's right. What were you thinking Kat? You're dating Rob! And you were seen rubbing with that tattoed dude from that famous band." Tyler hissed.

"I did not cheat on Rob! You guys don't know what happened last night... Just because you saw some photo of me with another guy doesn't mean anything." She yelled.

"Then why are you getting so defensive?" James titled his head to the side.

"You know what? Fuck you! I don't need this, I could expect this from anybody but not from my two brothers." She got up from the table abruptly and grabbed her bag.

"Kat! Where you going?" James got up too.

"I'm going to mind my own business, you should do the same thing." Kat growled as she stormed out of the house.

Kat was so pissed off that she forgot to take Jame's car keys to drive to school. She really hated not having her own car and she hoped that she could save some money to buy one. So, the first person she could ask for a ride was Izzy, she pulled out her phone and dialed her number.

"What up sis?"

"Hey, I need you to pick me up so we can go to school." Kat cleared her voice.

"Did something happened to Jame's car?"

"No, I'll explain later... Can you pick me up?" She questioned.

"You don't have to ask, idiot. I'm on my way."

"Ok, bye." Kat spoke as she hung the phone, she didn't expect this to happen. There was no way that the paparazzi were in the club, it was probably some idot who took the picture and sent it online.

Her phone began to ring and she saw that Tyler was calling, she quickly pressed 'Deny' and put the mobile back into her pocket, she was seriously hurt that her brothers accused her of cheating on her boyfriend with another guy. Kat wondered if Adam knew about the photo, and she figured that he was probably the first person to know about it.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a honk from Izzy's car as the brunette girl got into the car. Once she was seated on the passenger side, she stared down at her lap.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Izzy questioned quietly as Kat just shook her head. She didn't even needed to ask her what was going on because at this point there wasn't one person that didn't know about this photo.

"You were just dancing with him, Kat. It's not like you kissed him!" Izzy sighed.

"That's not the point Iz, I don't give two fucks about what people might be saying about me but I do care what my brothers say!" Kat cried as tears began to fall down on her face.

Izzy understood what was happening, her bf just got into a fight with her brothers because of this rumour about Adam. She didn't say anything as she just leaned over to her friend and put her arms around her.

"They didn't mean what they said, you know that right?" Izzy whispered.

"Right now, I don't know anything."

Adam just got up from bed and streched his arms and put on some pants and went to feed Frankie. His phone began to ring and he saw that Jesse was calling him, he pressed 'Answer'

"Hey man, what's up?"

"Adam, you have to go to the internet right now. Perez to be precise."

"Why? What's wrong?" He was suddenly alarmed.

"I think it's better if you see with your eyes."

Adam quickly grabbed his laptop and went to Perez website and his blood ran cold as he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Adam are you there?"

But he just stood silent, who took this picture? He began to read the article about the photo.

'Ladies, looks like our bad boy rockstar Adam Levine is living up to his reputation of ladies-man, last night he was seen at the club Bardot after Maroon 5 performed, and was snapped by an anounomous person dancing with this smouldering brunette very closely. Sources tell us that the bombshell name is Katerina Nostron, she's 21 years old and studies at UCLA. Adam certainly is coping right with his break-up with supermodel Anne Vylastinaya, so what do you think? Is the new brunette his new conquest?'

When Adam finished reading the article, he just grabbed the nearest object and threw against the wall in anger.

"This is bullshit! Who the fuck did this shit?" He was livid.

"Adam? Calm down man, that doesn't matter right now... What you should be worrying about is the fact that the paparazzi will be all over this girl."

Adam almost forgot that he was on speaker phone with Jesse and his last words hit him like a truck.

"I can't imagine what Kat is feeling right now..." He ran his hand through his spiked hair. "I didn't wanted this to happen to her, I should've been more careful-"

"No time for sorrows right now, but man... Seriously a college girl? How do you go from a model to a college girl?"

"You're not helping right now." He growled. "I need to talk to her, thanks for the heads up."

"Anytime, but you better figure out your shit... Because things won't be pretty now."

"Yeah, I know. Thanks Jess." He hung up and threw the phone to the bed. He had to figure out a way to fix this.

By the time that Kat and Izzy arrived at college, she could notice that everyone was giving her weird looks and were gossiping about her. She just walked into the building with her head held high and ignored the comments, she wasn't one to cower on a corner and cry.

"I know this must be too much for you, so if you want to skip-"

"Izzy, there is still about to come the day when I go home crying just because the world is talking shit about me." Kat cut her off.

She just smiled at her and they walked over to their locker, Kat opened it and saw that someone had put the photo of her and Adam inside and she just grabbed it and closed her locker with a huge thud.

"Is this why you are all laughing and gossiping about?" Kat showed them the photo. "Because now I'm the whore of UCLA who cheated on her boyfriend with Adam Levine. I probably have Aids now right? But you know what... If there is something that I know that is completely clean is my conscience, so you can talk all you want, but just know that I will continue walking in these hallways without a care in the world because I think that we are way past high school."

Everyone just went silent and some of them turned to walk away while others continued to stare, Kat just stormed away and they all moved aside.

She bumped into someone and looked up to see Rob with his hands on his pockets and a serious face.

"Rob..." She trailed off.

"I guess a conversation is in order right?" He questioned and she nodded. They both went to their spot where they usually hang out.

"Rob, about that photo... It was nothing! Nothing happened and I would never cheat on you, Adam just-" She began to ramble.

"I believe you." He cut her off.

"You do?" She creased her eyebrows.

"Yes, I have absolute trust in you Kat, and I now that this was probably something that someone saw as an opportunity to make some money with those photos." Rob explained her.

She just sighed in relief and launched herself into his arms as she was so happy that he believed her. But at the same time a little upset to the fact that he seemed indifferent to her dancing with another guy, Adam Levine of all guys!

"I just didn't know that you knew this guy, he's that singer from Maroon 5 right?" He questioned.

"Yeah, and that's a long story that we shouldn't have here." She said.

"I know but actually I wanted to ask you something..." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"What?" Kat questioned.

"If you can loan me 50 bucks, I'll pay you back tomorrow." He replied quickly.

"Why do you need 50 bucks? Your parents cut off your credit card or something?" She creased her eyebrows.

"Yeah, something like that..." He nodded.

"But why do you need it?" She pressed.

"For... things, look if you're not-"

"Ok, it's no big deal." She gave him the money.

"Thanks, Kat. You're the best." Rob pecked her lips and turned to walk away, while she just stood there confused. Now more than ever, she was determined to find out where does he go with such a hurry.

When Kat finished her classes, she quickly gathered her stuff and went after Rob without him noticing. She had asked Izzy to cover for her in case any of her brothers decided to go after her.

She had to call a cab and told the driver to follow the black Honda, he was hiding something and she was going to find out.

They stopped at a deserted place where she saw Rob getting out of his car and walking over to two skinny guys who were probably 6 foot tall. She payed the driver and got out of th car and went to hide behind some bushes where she had perfectly view of them.

"Do you have all the money?" One of the skinny guys questioned.

"Yeah, is it good?" Rob looked over at the stash.

"When it's not ever good?" The other guy narrowed his eyes. Kat could hear their conversation and she had to put her hand on her mouth to stop the sobs that were threatening to come.

When he payed them, Rob opened the bag with the cocain inside and was about to sniff it when suddenly someone pushed him hard which made him drop the substance on the ground.

"What the fuck?!" He yelled as he turned around and saw his girlfriend with tears in her eyes.

"SO, this is what you've been doing the whole time uh?" Kat seethed. "You've been hanging out with those skinny dickheads so you could buy some cocain?"

"Kat, I can explain..."

"That's why you are so different now, you barely can look me in the eye, then you always run off." She wiped her tears furiously. "Fuck you Robert! Fucking disappear of my life because I'm not going to be here to see you destroy yourself, it's over and it has been over since Spring break."

She turned to walk away but he grabbed her arm roughly and turned her around.

"You better not fucking tell anyone any of this!" He growled.

"It's that what is scaring you? That I might say that you're a drug-addicted? Well, you can relax... As far I'm concerned you are dead to me from now on." She spitted and moved out of his grip. She ran the opposite way as tears fell freely on her face right now, everything was falling apart in her life.

James and Tyler were worried sick because they had absolutely no idea where their sister could be. They had tried to reach Izzy but of course she gave them a lame excuse, she was covering up for Kat, that was obvious. They even tried to contact some of her friends but no one knew where she was, they went to the coffee shop and still nothing. Rob obviously had no idea of her girlfriend whereabouts and they didn't even were sure if they were still dating.

"Kat, it's me... Look, I know that you're pissed right now but we didn't mean what we said to you, we're sorry, please come home so we can talk." Tyler let another voice-mail.

"I'm feeling like the biggest asshole in the world right now." James shook his head. "I didn't mean what I said to her, I know Kat better than that..."

"Hey, it's not your fault, she'll come around... You know her, she wants to be alone right now." Tyler told him.

Adam was seriously worked up about this whole situation, sometimes he wished that he could get away of all this fame bullshit. But more importantly, he's trying to win a girl who already has a boyfriend and wants nothing with him, she probably hated him right now because of that photo.

But he needed to talk to her, and at least to know if she was alright... So, he went to the coffee shop where she works and instead of asking for her number, he asked Kayla if she could give him Izzy's number. He knew that she was Kat's best friend and probably knew what was happening with her.

Kayla gladly had given him her number and he felt bad for pratically 'using' the poor girl for his selfish reasons but he needed to know what was happening with Kat.

So he dialed Izzy's number and waited for a few moments before she picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, you're Izzy right?" Adam wanted to be sure.

"Yeah... and you are?"

"This is Adam, Adam Levine." He answered. She stood silent for a moment and he thought that she was going to hung up, but then she replied.

"Wow, it's not everyday that I get a call from a famous celebrity." He could hear the teasing tone on her voice and he actually cracked a smile, this girl seemed nice and carefree.

"Life can be pretty fun." He chuckled. "But you're probably wondering why I'm calling you-"

"Actually, I don't. I'm going to take on a limb here and say that you want to know where Kat is."

"You assume correctly, I know that today she is free from work. I really need to talk to her..." Adam told her in a pleading tone.

"Kat is going through a lot right now, and I know my best friend... She wants to be alone, so I don't think that it's a very good idea if you go after her."

"Izzy, please... I've been going crazy all day thinking what she might be feeling, I really, really like your best friend, so please help a guy out who is desperate to see her." Adam begged.

She just sighed and he heard her curse a few times, and in that moment he knew that he had convinced her.

"You're lucky, I'm a sucker for a good love story..." She trailed off. "I'll tell you where she is, but be careful she gets to be a little violent if she feels like someone is violating her space."

"Don't worry, I have everything in control." He assured her.

"When she is sad or angry, she usually goes to the Mount Lee where the hollywood sign is situated near Hollywood Hills."

Adam knew exactly where it was, since he lived in Hollywood Hills and he quickly got into his car and started the engineer.

"Thank you, thank you! I won't forget what you just did." He smiled.

"God, she is going to kill me... But it is for a good cause: her hapiness. Good luck!"

"Thanks, bye Izzy." He hung up and started to drive towards Hollywood Hills.

Kat took off her jacket and placed it on the ground so she could sit on it, she was hearing Radiohead 'How To Disappear Completely'

That there

That's not me

I go

Where I please

I walk through walls

I float down the Liffey

I'm not here

This isn't happening

I'm not here

I'm not here

She sang the lyrics softly with her eyes closed as she could feel the warm wind blowing on her face. Kat was so engaged into the music that she was hearing that she didn't notice that Adam was behind her and was listening to her sing.

In a little while

I'll be gone

The moment's already passed

Yeah it's gone

And I'm not here

This isn't happening

I'm not here

I'm not here

He sat next to her quietly so she wouldn't be disturbed and continued to listen to her sing.

Strobe lights and blown speakers

Fireworks and hurricanes

I'm not here

This isn't happening

I'm not here

To say that she could sing was an understandement, she was literally feeling the lyrics that she was singing and not many artists could do that nowadays. He could feel her pain on her voice and his heart clenched into his chest with the worry that he might had caused her pain.

She opened her eyes and almost had a heart attack when she saw Adam sitting next to her.

"Holy shit! You scared the hell out of me." She had to put her hand on her chest to calm herself.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you... You looked so peaceful while singing that I didn't want to disturbe you." Adam spoke up.

"You heard me sing?" Her eyes widened. "You gotta stop, popping everywhere!" She was about to get up but Adam pulled her down again.

"Kat, I am so sorry, I had no idea that someone was taking photos of us, I never meant to subject you to all this media shit-"

"I'm not mad at you, it wasn't your fault... You are a victim just like me." She told him.

"Then why are you so sad?" He scanned her face. "Did something else happened?"

"No, I just need to be alone... Everyone just needs to leave me the fuck alone!" She cried as she tried to move away from him again but he grabbed her again.

"Hey! Talk to me." He grabbed her face and tears just spilled out of her eyes. "Kat, you're worrying me... What happened?"

She just continued to cry and she just curled into his lap and cried harder, he pulled her closer to him and caressed her hair.

"Sshh, everything is going to be fine." He whispered to her as he kissed the side of her head. Kat just held into his shirt and sobbed.

"Beauty queen of only eighteen. She had some trouble with herself." He sang quietly in her ear. "He was always there to help her, she always belonged to someone else."

He didn't hear her sob anymore, so he figured that she had calmed down now.

"I don't mind spending everyday, out on your corner in the pouring rain." He continued. "Look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay awhile." Kat pulled away a little from him and her face was right in front of Adam's as he continued to sing. "And she will be loved, she will be loved."

He kissed her forehead and Kat just looked down but he wanted to see her insanely blue eyes, so he grabbed her chin and moved her head up.

"I want to make you feel beautiful." He finished. Kat could feel butterflies in her stomach as Adam continued to stare at her intensely, her mascara was smouldered on her face right now and she made a move to clean it but Adam just grabbed her hand.

"You still look beautiful." Adam leaned his forehead against hers, he wanted so bad to kiss her lips but he knew that she wasn't ready for that yet.

"Thank you for holding me and letting me ruin your expensive shirt." She replied quietly.

"It wasn't that expensive." He shrugged and she chuckled a little. They stood in a comfortable silent as Kat continued on his lap and with her forehead against his neck as she breathed into his manly smell.

After she made sure that she wasn't going to cry anymore, she had told him what had happened and he just listened to her without interrupting her. When she was finished he just grabbed her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers and kissed her knuckles.

"You didn't mean what you said to him." Adam spoke up. "About him being dead to you." Kat just stared at the beautiful view as it was starting to get darker and the lights were turning on.

"I know."

He could feel the bad energy surrounding them so he did everything in his power to lighten up the mood, he snatched her Ipod and went through her song choices and he was very surprised to see her playlist.

She listen to Beatles, Oasis, Radiohead, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Queen, U2 and every imaginable rock band to Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstong and down to Whitney Houston, C line Dion, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Amy Winehouse

"You have very interesting song choices here." He mused as he continued to snoop.

"Well, music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." She told him with a smile.

"Did you just quoted Victor Hugo?" He raised his eyebrow.

"I guess, I did." She nodded as he continued to stare at her in awe. That only made him want to get her know better obviously she is a very intelligent girl. None of his other girlfriends had much culture or even shared his passion for music but Kat certainly was a lover of the fourth art which was music.

They got to know each other a little better and Kat even quoted him many poems from Shakespeare, they were really enjoying each other's company.

"I need to go home, my brothers must be moving the earth and ocean to find me..." She sighed.

"Are you going to be ok?" He questioned.

"I have to." She shrugged.

"Will you let me give you a ride home this time?" Adam smirked.

"Yeah, you can take me home." She smiled a little, they both stood up and began to work towards Adam's car.

Kat took a minute to appreciate his car, because she was crazy for classic cars.

"That's a beautiful machine that you have there." She whistled as he laughed.

"I'm glad you like it." He opened the door for her and she got in. When he got into the car, he started the engineer and he drove towards her home as she gave him the adress.

When Adam pulled outside of her apartment, he stopped the engineer and looked over at her.

"So I guess that you are delivered." Adam replied.

"Thanks Adam." She smiled at him.

"No problem." He spoke.

"Not just for the ride, for... everything. You turned out to be a good friend and I needed that." She told him. He just nodded his head and stared ahead as he didn't want her to see the disappointement that he had on his eyes. It was pretty obvious that he wanted to be more than a friend to her but he wasn't going to pressure her.

They had programmed each other's phone numbers so they could still keep in touch. Kat blucked off and leaned over to him and kissed him on the cheek as he closed his eyes.

"Bye, Adam." She replied as she opened the door and got out of the car.

"Bye Kat." He replied quietly. Adam watched her walk to the building and he had to contain himself to not ran after her and to kiss her senseless. He was going to be patient and let her come to him.
