Catalina went home right away. She saw the note that her aunt and uncle were going away from the weekend. She knew they traveled alota nd she was really okay with it. But she did not want to be alone. she had no idea when Quenten would be home but she was sure he would come over. He would want to make sure she stuck to his condition. Going up to her room she changed out of her clothes. She laid on her bed and held her engagement ring and began to cry. She cried for her, for Colby, for their love, the wedding they would never have. When she was all cried out a few hours later she slipped her enagement ring on a silver chain and put it in her jewelry box.
Going down the steps she went into the kitchen. She left open the french doors that lead out to the patio so air could come in. She knew she must be pale and just have mechanical movements because that is how she felt right now. She took her time fixing a salad and some pasta with alfrado sauce on it. Taking her food she went and sat the table on the patio. She brought a book where she was going to try and watch it with no promises that she could even concentrate. She was just eating and saring at the same page on the book she would not even know if someone came up behind her or if the phone rang.

When Renton was on the road driving his motor cycle, he finally got a text from Cat, saying everything is fine. Renton look to his phone and glared at the text, he didn't believe it, it took forever for her to reply and plus he knows how couples would react to a situation that happened yesterday, so nothing isn't fine. He could tell she was lying, since he had met her Cat was never that great of lying even through a texting. He then growled and muttered to himself.
"Screw this I'm on my way weather you like it or not Cat!" he said to himself he then shift speed and gone faster, later her came down on her road and stopped half away from her house, he knew Quenten lives in the same area as Cat, and figured he better hid his motorcycle at one of the neighbors house, in case Quenten does try anything Renton will be in the shadows waiting.
Renton drove one more street down from Cat's street, he knew a couple down the street were home this weekend and they'd be happy to hold his bike over for him they did it the last time. As he stopped by, the lady opened the door. "Oh hi deary how are you? " she said. "Hi mrs. Hemlier!" he said politly. "Is it alright I drop my bike off here for a little while It's pretty loud in certain areas and I don't want to disturb anyone in that neighborhood!" he lied. the lady smiled and nodded. "Of course put in the garage, is there anything you needed done on your bike?" she offered. Renton thought for a moment he did need a tune up and an oil change and usually mrs, Hemlier's husband does a wonderful job a better job than Renton, and it was always free of charge, Renton reminded himself he needed to do something wonderful for them in return. After he told her he'll be back later he started to head down Cat's street.
As he walk down the street keeping his hands stuffed in his pocket keeping his eyes out on that serpent snake of an asshole around. Luckly he wasn't around but he wasn't going to take a chance and walk up the front door of Cat's house. so he took the back way in like he did the last time. Renton climbed up the fense of the side of the house and jumped down on the other side and came around to the back yard of Cat's house and thank God she has left her doors open. Renton sighed in relief and then slowly walked up towards the open door and there he saw her.
Cat didn't look fine, he could tell he could smell it, and reconized that look something wasn't why and he glared for a moment and stepped in. "You don't seem fine to me Cat!" he suddenly said as he walked in and leaned against the door way with his hands in his pocket. "We need to talk!" he said with out giving her a chance to protest. "I'm sorry about yesterday and I want to make it up to you by telling Colby that the whole thing is my fault!" he said he then walked in and sat down beside her. "I never meant to hurt you and colby... will you forgive me?" he asked with pleading eyes.

Catalina turned and almost screamed when he spoke. She put a hand to her beating heart. She wished her hair was not in a messy pony tail she could of kept some of her face hidden to hide her feelings and face. "I am fine" she said closing her book she was not reading. She kept a cool look on her face like she was okay. I can do this I can hide my emotions she thought to herself. "Just right now Colby and I hit a rough patch we will be okay" she said calmly. She did not think about Quenten and that she was now his. With the thoughts of him she looked over the fence at his house.
She would have to get Renton out of her quick. If Queten caught him here he would kill him. She did not want Renton to get hurt cause of her. "I do forgive you" she said. She wished that Colby and here would not have fought. Of course wishing for something is never good anyway, wishes don't come true. She wished to be free of Quenten and marry Colby and live happily ever after and that is not going to happen. She was tired of wishing and hopes, she would not ever make the mistake of doing either of htem again. She sat back so she was not right in his face, if Quenten saw that it would really set him off.
"You didn't need to come by" she said softly and put her hands in her lap. "I was taking a nap for awhile" she said honestly. She really did hope he would leave soon. "After I get done eating I am going to go and lay down again, so don't think I am rude if I ask you to leave so I can" she said. "I am just really tired today." And she would sleep all day and night and weekend long if she had to.

Renton sat there next to Cat, she didn't seem at all her self for the first time he noticed she was really nervous, she has never been this way before, but then again after what happened yesterday she might be nervous around him now and this made Renton's heart sink deeper. But something else was nagging him, he couldn't put his finger on it but he felt something isn't right, his vision of himself told him so.
Renton sat there listening to Cat, she seemed to be telling the truth about how tired she was and can tell that is the half truth but he can tell she wasn't telling the entire truth, and reason he knew was Devin act that way when her father was dying and she knew he wasn't going to make it and she was trying to hide her fear from Renton so he wouldn't worry for her. And Cat was showing the same look in her eyes. (Every thing is fine no worries everything is normal here) look.
Renton sighed in frustration, and looked to Cat. "I know your tired..." he said gently. "But also I know you're terrible at lying!" he said firmly. "I've known you long enough to know that, you are acting how Devin was acting when somethign was wrong and she wouldn't tell me why she just kept telling me everything was cool!" he explained. "At first I was like alright that's cool then how about we go get some cappachinos and sandwiches!" he said, and took a deep breath. "Suddenly out of no where, I heard screaming on the other end of her house, and both her and I ran, and her mother was on the floor in the corner by the fridge with the phone hanging off the reciever, her mother was in tears, and Devin knew why and she started to cry, and I was dumbfounded!" he said. "Her mother muttered through her cry saying to Devin, that her father didn't pull through the surgrey!" he said firmly looking Cat dead in the eyes.
"After her dad's funeral, I felt hurt because she didnt tell me what was going on because her dad was like a father to me as well, he pulled me out from being a junkie he saved my life and I owed him that!" he said gently.
"For two years devin and I haven't spoken since then. Till this last year, but after that major quake we had, her mother died trying to save some passangers of the plane while it landed during the moment the fault line started to erupted. And for a while Devin and I stayed in contact but since she no longer had family she had to go into foster care, and they moved. Devin never let me know what was going on and haven't heard from her since then!" he said and then finally looks to Cat.
"Please Cat what ever is going on with you right now... don't lose that light in you, don't give up you were doing wonderfully, you were strong you were changed!" he said as he gave her what he saw in her when she came back, and now he can tell that strong girl next to him was now weaken some how. "Please Cat don't leave me like Devin did, I'm here for you now, and I'll always be here for you no matter what it cost me!" he said deeply. "I don't care if it kills me as longest you are happy and safe!" he whispered. He reached up and touched her cheek gently with his warm hand. "I love you, you are my friend and if you can't be strong right now what ever it is that's making you weak, then I'll be strong for you, and I will fight for you and protect you!" he promised. "I'll make things right again and later I'll talk to Colby, I'll let him kick the shit out of me if I have to!" he try to cheer her up.
Renton wanted to hug her, but the way she's seemed to be acting was telling him she wont budge it was like on the inside she was turning into stone, even though on the outside she seemed fine. Renton leaned in but not close enough to her face but enough to let her see in his eyes. "I would do anything for you!" he whispered. he then offered his hand to her. "I love you my friend... do you love me as your friend?" he asked showing her some hope in his eyes. As he finally accepts that friendship was worth more than anything else to him.

"I am sorry about Devin and that whole situation" Catalina said honestly and sincerly. She stopped herself from reaching out and touching him in comfort. That would only get her in trouble if Quenten saw. And she would do all she can to not bring that anger on her or anyone else, more importantly anyone else. "I am fine I promise you I am just tired. With planning a weddign and all" she said pretending to be happy. She had to lie she had to lie to get him away, to keep him safe and far far away from Quenten. She could do that here at her hosue, but she was not sure how to do that at school, that will be a whole lot harder to do.
She knew that no matter what Renton said he was not in her place. He did not understand and he would have to understand him and no one else could help her. She was stuck in this situation and with no way out. She pulled back from him when he touched her face. That would really get him killed more then anything. "I keep telling you I am fine" she said standing up. She walked outside on the patio and wrapped her arms around herself. She could do this she could keep everyone away, she would for sure. "Just please let things alone, let things settle down please" she pratically begged him. She needed to keep him from fighting Quenten. Quenten will not stop at anything to keep Renton and Colby away from her and that what is scared her the most.
She glanced over her shoulder at him. "Of course I love you as a friend" she said. "That is why I am asking you to let thing settled down and not start any fights or anything. That is what I need you to do" she says to him. She wanted to say that she just needed to be alone for awhile away from it all but did not know how. "I love you as friend so I am going to ask you this. Please just back off from me for awhile, everyone is safe that way. If you care for me you won't argue you will listen to me" she said. "You should leave soon though" she said and looked at the ground. "I am getting tired" she said softly. She could not say because he will be here soon.

Wow ouch Renton thought to himself they way she was suddenly asking almost begging him to leave. Renton felt a slightly sting pain in his heart, she did seem tired but bothered about something, and Renton sighed deeply. As he gets ready to get up, he happens to look down at what she was eating, and noticed salad, salad has lettuce, carrots and other stuff and uh oh... TOMATOES!!!. Renton started to cough as he put his hand to his mouth. He saw a couple of chunks of tomatos in the almost all eaten up salad. Renton felt his stomach start to wild up.
While she contunied as he walked out to the back patio. Renton tried so hard to keep it down to not let the sight or smell of Tomatos make him sick. As he started to struggle more he felt his stomach getting even worse. And it sounded like Renton was chuckling at first but he started to cough and choke.
He then did the best he could and muster up enough strength to keep it down so he could ask her for a moment to let him use the bathroom. "Um... Cat..." he started to say. "Please... I hate to .... do this..." He struggled more to let the words out and not other way around. "I need to use... your bathroom!!" he choked. He hurried to his feet and ran towards the closest bathroom in the house and slammed the door behind so she wouldn't see or get disgusted. And he hurled and groaned loudly into the toliet.

Catalina was suprised by Rentons reaction. For a moment she forgot about his averison to tomatoe's. Of course she had no idea he was even coming over, so she did not even think whens eh put them on her salad. She watched him run and stayed by the door. She would have a few moments to think. She blinked back some tears, it hurt her, to hurt those that she was close to. She had to do it though, she kept telling herself it was to keep everyone safe. She could handle all that happened as long as everyone else was safe. She moved the salad and put it int he fridge so he would not see it when he came back out.
She got a glass of water and sat it on the table. He could stay a few moments till he felt better. But more then that can get them both in trouble, and she did not want to see him hurt at all. Walking to the door she knocked before she spoke up. "I put a water on the table for you" she said. Turning away she went back into the kitchen. Getting her drink she walked outside on to the patio and sat in one of the chairs. She looked up at the sky just thinking about her life and how it was going. It was not going the best but she could deal with it. She needed to deal with it, and keep herself, and everyone else safe.
She checked her watch and saw that Renton was in there awhile. She hoped he was okay and would be out soon. That way he can be far away soon, and not be there when Quenten came home.

Renton finally gave out. He sighed and took a deep breath. He was done the thought and smell of tomatos were finally out of his mind and nastrols. He then gotten up to his feet, he took some toliet paper and clean up the mess. Luckly there was air freshener in the bathroom so he used it to spray around getting rid of the vomit smell. He went towards the sink and washed his face with ice cold water and washed his hands good. He heard Cat's voice saying she left him a glass of water on the table. And then he thought there was the Cat he knew.
He dried his face and hands, and then left the bathroom, he walked into the kitchen and there sat a glass full of water. He took it gently into his hands and then suddenly glups down the full glass of water as if he hasn't had water in years. When he was done he took it into the kitchen rinsed it out and then looked around saw the dish washer, he sat the glass into the dish washer. For some reason his instinct told him too he never ususally does that but he did anyway. As he then looked away he saw his reflection from the toaster that was on the counter he saw how pale he was, he sighed and the thought of himself the future self he almost looked as good as dead now.
Renton sighed and stuffed his hands in his leather jacket and found Cat outside on the patio. He stood there he could tell she was worried about something. And he knew it wasn't a snag in the relationship between her and Colby, now he gets the feeling its no longer his fault of what happened, something elsed happen and he was going to do everything to find out what, maybe not through Cat, but maybe he could talk to Colby. Renton wanted to make things right.
"So ah... thanks for the water!" he said clearing his throat trying not to sound to hoarsed. He took a deep breath, "Cat...." he said suddenly but then stopped and looked at her. "Do you want me to go because don't want me here, or because I have to go...?" he asked something told him to ask that. "I wish I knew what was wrong Cat, but you are shutting me out, and I know its not because of yesterday, but I guess maybe I shouldn't come back at all then, you pretty much are tired... but maybe tired of me!" he gave her a weak smile but then frown.
He then clears his throat again before he turn towards the gate. "I'm going home soon... and I don't mean my apt... I'll be flying out soon back to Scotland, I might not come back." he told her. Renton felt like it was the right thing to say and do, since theres not much left here and also he is almost done with school. "I was going to stay longer for the wedding but now that I screwed things up so bad it aint going to happen, hell I was gonna loan you my car for the honeymoon!" he said and he meant it and he meant the jaguar he just restored.
"Yeah well, I guess... this is good bye then eh?" he said keeping back his saddness and started walking towards the gate and swinging it open and head out onto the street.

Cat watched him and knew she had to let him go. But she did not want to lose her friend. Getting up she walked out. "Renton this is not about you" she said. What was happening to her was not about him that was the truth. "With Colby things will work out we will be fine. And I am sure he won't go after you or anything, Colby is not a fighter" she said. She knew Quenten would be so she made sure to keep a eye out out for him. She would have to stall him from going after Renton if he showed up so Renton would have a chance to get away.
"How you are feeling?" she asked him. She was not sure what to do or say right now. She just knew she wanted things to be okay between them. "I.. I am sorry and stuff things are just out of wack right now" she admited to him. "So I.. I am not myself." She did not mention anything about Quenten and how her and Colby were not together and not getting married. That would set off Renton and make him feel bad. "Did you drink all of the water I left out for you?" she asked him.
