Jealously, Jealously: C.F.

Katherine brings Conrad to his room laying him down on his bed. "There you go, let's get that jacket off."

Katherine pulls off the red jacket Conrad was wearing and pulls the bed sheets and comforter, bringing Conrad's legs underneath and covering him up. Conrad mumbles something incoherent which Katherine shakes her head at as Conrad cuddles up in the blankets. Katherine puts Conrad's jacket in the laundry hamper and goes over to Conrad kissing his head goodnight and was about to leave when Conrad grabbed her wrist.

"Stay please," Conrad begged the girl with his eyes already half shut. "For me?"

Katherine sighs then nods her head going to lay in bed with the boy. Conrad snuggles up close to her wrapping his arms around her. Katherine didn't really expect this but she didn't really think much of it since he was drunk and wasn't thinking straight.

Conrad kissed Katherine's cheek before saying, "Thank you for taking care of me Kat."

Katherine just smiled before she started to drift off to sleep in the boy's arms.

-----

The next morning Katherine woke up in a room that definitely wasn't hers. She looked around for a second and was about to get up when she felt a pair of heavy arms permitting her from doing so. She then remembered last night and how she stayed with Conrad. She could hear the little snores coming from his mouth and chuckled. Katherine had slowly started to pull Conrad's arms off her so she could get up but that caused Conrad to slightly wake up pulling her to him and making them both chuckle.

"Well, good morning to you too," Katherine says with a small laugh.

"Yeah, whatever," Conrad mumbles into the girl's hair. "I feel dead."

"That's because of how much you drank you, idiot," Katherine says rolling her eyes and turning over to face the boy. "Why don't we get you up to get you some food and Advil?"

Conrad squeezes the girl tight, "I think staying in bed with you all day would be better." Conrad smirks a little raising his eyebrow at her insinuating something jokingly.

Katherine gasps and slaps his chest, "Conrad Fisher!" Conrad laughs at her actions, "You know damn well that is not going to happen, especially with you hungover."

"Kat, chill, I'm just joking," Conrad laughs at the brunette who ends up getting up from Conrad's grasp. "Oh, come on! I was joking! Stay a little longer, please."

"I'll go surfing with you later if you get up," Katherine says to which Conrad groans.

"I hate you," Conrad says getting out of his bed.

"No, you love me," Katherine smiles giving the boy a quick hug.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'll see you downstairs," Conrad kisses the girl on her head and watches as she walks out.

After Katherine got back to her room, she decided to facetime Caitlin while she got ready for the day. It rang twice before she answered. "Oh my gosh finally!" Caitlin said through the phone, "I thought you died, I haven't heard from you since you got there but tell me everything!"

Katherine laughs at her best friend, "Actually, there is some stuff I have to tell you though. Yesterday was so crazy."

"Omg, did you get the balls to finally tell Conrad you like him? Or did he get the courage to tell you he likes you? Or even better, did Jeremiah say he likes me?" Caitlin kept rambling about different things until Katherine finally cut her off.

"Cait! You know Conrad and I are just friends; we don't like each other like that. He's my best friend nothing more." Katherine said, but little did she know that Conrad had heard that little part when he came to see if she was ready to go downstairs with him. But, hearing that crushed Conrad so with his head down the Fisher boy walked downstairs in a mood going to lay on the couch as Jeremiah prepared him his signature 'hangover smoothie.'

"Kat, you're my best friend and I love you to death. But the way you talk about Conrad, the way you two look at each other in pictures, and when he's on facetime with you just anything involving you two it's obvious that you're both in love with each other. Anybody with eyes can see it," Caitlin said to her friend.

"I don't know Cait, I just don't feel that way towards him," Katherine began as she was finishing up her makeup. "But that's not what I wanted to tell you."

"Oh, then what is it?' Caitlin asked.

Katherine goes on to tell the girl about everything that happened last night. Including Bradley, Belly's new little boy thing, and her and Conrad in the same bed last night.

"You should go out with this Bradley dude! He sounds cool, I want to see how Mr. Fisher reacts to it." Caitlin turns her head at her name being called, "But hey, my brother's calling me, I have to go. Call me later?"

Katherine smiles, "Definetly."

The girls hang up and Katherine then goes downstairs to see Jeremiah cooking with Steven and Brandon lurking behind him and Conrad on the couch. Katherine sits next to Conrad who just looks annoyed.

"What's wrong," Katherine asks.

"I'm hungover Kat, what do you think?" Conrad snaps making Kat throw her hands up in defense.

Conrad doesn't say anything else but sprawls out his legs on top of Katherine which makes her sigh. In the kitchen, the boys and Laurel were talking about the portraits of all the kids Susannah wanted to do. Katherine wasn't really paying much attention to what they were saying. Katherine was just thinking about what Caitlin said about her loving Conrad. Could she really like him? He's been his best friend since she was born so it didn't make much sense to her. She tried not to think too much of it but couldn't help it as her brain kept racking through the does he like me does he not do I like him do I not? It was confusing her. But she was snapped out of her thoughts when Jeremiah came in front of her face giving Conrad the smoothie.

"Hey. Here," Jeremiah says to Conrad.

"Thank you," Conrad replies thankful for his brother in these situations.

After Conrad and Katherine sat there in silence for a while Katherine moved the boy's legs off her to get up and go to the kitchen. "Hey!" Conrad said annoyed at Katherine for moving his legs from her. "I was comfy."

"Yeah, and I wanted to get up," Katherine said rolling her eyes as she got up going to the kitchen.

At this point, Belly was also in the kitchen too. "Hey Bells," Katherine said with a smile giving the girl a side hug before Susannah came in.

"Oh. My. God!" Susannah squealed. "Our girls are going to be debs!"

"Wait, what?" Katherine asked confused.
