-Y/N's POV (Enemies)-
Falling asleep that night was harder to do. With George's arms wrapped around me, on the outside, I felt warm, but on the inside, I felt cold.

I felt dead inside now that I had no choice but to give up on Nick.

He loved Catherine now. Whether I liked it or not, that was the truth. I couldn't find Dream and the stone, I couldn't erase everything I've done. The only thing I could do was accept the truth and do my best to move on.

I knew my only two choices were to move on, or continue to hurt everyone I loved, including myself. Holding onto the pain of my actions, and holding onto that anger, it wasn't doing anyone any good.

I wanted to be happy. So, if that meant dating somebody else to get over Nick, so be it.

Even though I wasn't thrilled about dating George, some part of me felt grateful that it would be him instead of some stranger.

I trusted George with my life. He's kind, sweet, thoughtful, and he's one of a kind.

But Nick is one in a million.

No matter where things go with George, no matter how long it would take to get used to my new normal, my heart would always truly belong to Nick.

Forever and always.

When I woke up the next morning, I came to another conclusion in my head.

Even though the old Catherine was unfair to me, this new Catherine wasn't. Whether I liked it or not, her and I were best friends now. So, to give myself and others peace, I decided to have a word with her.

Slipping out of George's grasp carefully, I slipped into some grey sweatpants, a maroon cropped hoodie, then tied my hair up into a messy bun while leaving some front strands out.

Then, I searched through my phone to try finding Catherine's address. Eventually through my contacts, I saw I had it listed under her name. So, I took off for her house.

I decided a walk in nature would be best for me today. While strolling down the sidewalks, I breathed in the fresh air while brainstorming what on Earth I was going to say to the girl who convinced my boyfriend to cheat on me.

"It's not her..." I thought to myself from those words my brain told me, "Catherine never did that in this timeline. Just get this over with so everyone can have peace..."

After about 30 minutes of walking, I made it to Catherine's house.

Surprisingly, Catherine's house was gorgeous. It would be described only as a cottagecore pinterest house. It seemed more of a cottage than an actual house, especially since it was a small cottage on a plot of land, surrounded by trees.

I went up to her front door, stepping on the stones leading up to it, then knocked on the white wood, releasing a nervous breath out.

A few moments later, Catherine swung open the door by the handle, meeting my eyes. Her expression fell as her eyes widened at me.

Y/N:
"I think we need to talk..." I spoke lowly.

She gulped nervously.

I was seated in Catherine's small cottage dining room. She walked up to me with a teapot.

CATHERINE:
"Tea?" She looked nervously at me.

Y/N:
"I'm good..." I looked down at the ground, then she nodded and set the teapot on the table, taking a seat across from me.

I swallowed hard while staring hard at the floor, being silent.
