-1Cat pulled open the door to Patrick's apartment and flung her self on the couch.

"Lucy I'm home,"

Patrick walked out of his bed room, he looked so adorable. Black skinny jeans, a crisp white button down shirt under a black sweater vest he toped of his look with a black fedora hat.

"Are you going to get ready?"

"I bet those clothes would look nicer on the floor"

"Ha ha, hurry up were going to be late"

"but I'm tired and my feet hurt. Lets stay in and order pizza and be lazy"

"Cat,"

"would it be ok if I spent the night"

" I don't know why you don't just move in with me"

"oh and what would the perks be? Hum you yelling at me and telling me what to do"

"no more of these god awful stairs"

"eh they aint so bad"

Patrick took the seat next to her.

"get out of here kid."

"go get dressed"

"make me"

"I will"

Patrick stood up and Cat squalled and took off. She paused a minuet to see if Patrick would chase her. He did he always did. After they ran around the apartment a few times Patrick managed to grab her and drag her into the bed room. She didn't go easily he had to fight her. Patrick shoved her on to the bed.

"Now-Go-Get-Dressed" he panted.

"ok-ok-ok"

Cat hopped up and made her way to the bathroom. She made a big production of wiggling out of her jeans and unbuttoning her top. She finally slipped into a pair of faded gray jeans and a flowy shirt with big seventy's flowers on it.

"all right, lets get this over with"

"aww come on just pretend you wanna do this."

"I do, I just like to bust your balls"

"you do an amazing job of it"

"I know right?"

As they walked into the restaurant they were bombarded with camera flashes. People shouting things yelling for Patrick asking who she was, honestly it was on the most nerve racking experiences Cat had ever been faced with. She was frightened and gripped Patrick's hand tight and tried to keep up with his long strides.

"oh my god, that was"

"ya sorry I normally don't get that when I go places, that means Pete's here already though"

"fuck, its about time you got here"

"sorry"

"no your not"

"am I ever"

Cat smiled at Patrick and Pete going back and forth. It made her feel less anxious to meet him. And his friend, who's name she couldn't remember but was sporting a very impressive fro.

"This is cat, uh Cat that's Pete and Joe" (Andy had to take a rain check)

"hi" she said in a weak voice sitting down beside Patrick.

Cat left her body. She was there but she wasn't. She was watching Pete Joe and
Patrick argue and talk about stupid things. She was beginning to feel less and less worried about this dinner. Now she wanted to join in with there playful banter.

"oh go fuck off Joe"

"Do you even know what were talking about"

"ya Patrick I do you two are to ignorant to get the bigger picture here"

"What is it then hum?"

"ya Joe enlighten us."

"what ever you guys, you just don't get how great Nintendo is"

"please that things a load"

Joe Pete and Patrick all just looked at Cat. She had been talking very little all night, this was the first thing she had said all night and for a split second Patrick felt guilty that he didn't include her like he should have.

"you were saying?" Pete asked, one eye brow cocked?

"well it simple, Nintendo was fun and all but there are no new games, what's the point in playing a game I've bet 30 times?"

"well played" Patrick said laughing.

The rest of the night was more of the same talking laughing and lots of food and drinks…lots of drinks.

"Jimmy Hendrix BEST guitar player hands down" Cat said pounding on the table

"oh no way"

"he is so not"

"maybe way back in the day but not now, besides I'm way better"

"ok Pete time to put you ego away"

"He cant Patrick its too big to do any thing with."

The four of them erupted in laughter.

"we should go some where"

"where" Joe asked

"well I could shave your head"

"aww no we like the JewFro"

"JewFro?"

"ya like afro, only Joes not black he's Jewish so he has a Jewfro." Patrick said as logically as he could.

"oh I got it…isn't that a tad raciest?"

"very" Patrick said laughing

"Yes please don't try to shave it" Pete said

"what ever, lets go to a club or some thing"

"I'm game if you two are"

"Go for dickey" Joe blurted.

"well I'm not going to leave Cat alone with you two"

"what do you think is going to happen to me hum?"

"you don't even want to know"

The Club was fantastic the music was loud it was crowded and wild. They were having a great time, until Pete saw some one. She had bleach blond hair, a skirt that was more or less a belt and a skin tight slinky tank top that wasn't covering up much at all. It was Jackie. Pete stood there a minuet. His heart rate tripled and his breathing stiffened. His first instant was to kill her. He could see Patrick and Cat from where he was standing. All Patrick would have to do was look over and he would get an eye full of the worst thing he could have ever done to him self.

Pete made a B line to where Patrick Joe and Cat we sitting. He needed to get out of here. Hell he didn't give a fuck if just Patrick left. Right now all he knew was that Patrick was getting over her and seeing her would ruin every thing. Pete didn't need that, he had come to far to have to start back at the beginning with Patrick.

"HEY!, LETS GET OUT OF HERE"

"WHY IM HAVING A GREAT TIME" Cat yelled back

" WE COULD GO TO MY PARENTS HOUSE. THEY HAVE A POOL"

"WHAT?"

"MY HOUSE"

"OH COME ON PETE, HAVE FUN WITH US" Patrick said grinning.

"COME ON COME ON COME ON, I WANNA SWIM"

"PETE YOU'RE A PAIN"

"FINE" Joe added.

"COME ON ONE MORE DRINK"

"STAY IF YOU WANT"

"HEY PETE KNOCK IT OFF"

"WHAT"

"I SAID TO, FUCK COME ON LETS GO."

Patrick grabbed Cats arm and pulled her up. The four of them headed to the door. Pete made sure he walked behind Patrick he didn't want to chance Jackie spotting him.

After what felt like to Pete the longest walk of his life they made it to the parking lot. Patrick Joe and Cat started a game of tag. (which proved difficult with them being a little more then tipsy.)

"come on guys lets go back to my place"

"what's you deal Pete?"

"I just wanted to get out of there you know"

"your weird, come on I'm not going to hang out in a parking lot all night. You promised me a pool and a hot tub."

Pete smiled and followed Joe to the cab.

Pete felt nothing but relief but if only he had known that things were about to get a hell of a lot worse very fast he may have held off on that little thank you he sent up to god. He also would have known that hurricane Jackie wasn't even half over. They were all just sitting in the eye of it, and hell is about to break loose.
