“Your mother insisted it.” Echoed through Katerina  head as she ran from the reception into the house straight to her room. She started crying  not because of staying with her would be a bad idea. But because she feels as though her mother didn't want her anymore.

“What's going on?” Ian asked

“Katerina upset because she's moving her for the rest of her school year maybe even longer. I have to go talk to her.” Joe said

“I can talk to her.” Ian insisted

“She's my daughter.” Joe said

“But im her friend and she could use one right now, Joe. Please let me try talking to her first. It could be my gift to you.” Ian consisted

Joe nodded then Ian went into the house.

The Somerhalder Mansion

“Mr. Somerhalder, i really need to see ian today.” Bethany said

“Ian is out of town right now. Don't you have cheerleader practice?” Robert asked

“I never been a cheerleader. But what I have to tell ian is about paris.” Bethany said

“I'm tired of girl's like you who always want to come in between paris and ian. She's great for him. They are broken up now but will be back together. I want water you out of here and leave my son relationship with Paris alone.” Robert said shoving her out the door

“Paris is no good Mr.  Somerhalder. She tried to kill ian on the road!” Bethany shouted as Robert was closing the door in her face

“You said what?” Robert asked reopening the door.

“I overheard Paris telling someone she spared ian's life on the road. I asked around the school to what really happened to ian and somebody told me he was ran over. Paris never wanted me to talk to ian or his friend or much of hers.” Bethany explained

“How do you know that it was Paris behind the wheel? Maybe she rescued him.” Robert persisted

“Paris said this after her fight on the phone with ian. She even has a new car bumper. You have to believe me!” Bethany pleaded

Robert nodded

“I think you should go on home little girl.” He  said

“Will you tell ian?” Bethany asked

“He will hear it from me.” Robert assured

Bethany sighed then walked away from the mansion.

Robert picked up his phone and called one of his henchmen. “I need you to investigate Paris family for me. I want that little lying two faced girl to pay big!”

Joseph's House

My mother doesn't want me anymore. That's why we're really here ian. It's deeper than just my father getting remarried.” Katerina explained

“Your mother loves you. Both your parents do. You should call her.” Ian persisted

“I don't want to talk to her anymore!” Katerina shouted

Ms Graham walked up the stairs. “How about seeing her?” Ian asked

“I don't want to do that either!” Katerina reflected

“Honey, I want to see you now.” Ms Graham said

“Mom?” Katerina opened the door

“It's me.” Ms Graham beamed

“I'm mad at you!” Katerina said turning away from her

“I know. Your father told me that but katerina you being here is what's best for you. I don't want to see you make a big mistake with your future.” Natasha explained

“That's all?” Katerina asked

“Yes. Besides you going to love it here.” Natasha insisted

“I don't have any friends here.” Katerina said

“You have ian.” Natasha said

“You think daddy will let him stay?” Katerina asked

“Just ask him.”  Natasha reflected

Katerina went to her father and Raina.

“I'm sorry if I ruined your wedding day.” Katerina interrupted

“I want you okay kitten.” Joseph said

“I want to be here but on one condition.” Katerina said

“What's that?” Joseph asked

“Ian lives here too.” Katerina persisted

“He can live in that trailor we have out back Joe. ” Raina said

“Can he daddy? Please?” Katerina begged

“You both must obey my rules, kitten.” Joseph said

"We will! Thank you daddy!” Katerina said hugging him then running to ian who looked shocked

“You don't have to worry about me being sad anymore. I'm staying here and so can you!” Katerina informed

“I can't.” Ian said

“Why not?” Katerina asked

“I have to go home. Paris was the one who hit me on the road.” Ian revealed

“What?” Katerina asked shockingly

“My dad called me just a second ago. He said bethany told him that Paris confessed. I need to go confront her. ” Ian persisted

“I'm going with you!” Katerina said
