"Tell me, protect me from what? I don't think I'm in danger or something" Katie said as she crossed her arms.
Nando sighed slowly "I just don't want you to get on the wrong path...thats all" He said as sadness shown on his face.
Katie shrugged "oh you're acting like a priest now?" She mocked as she walked pass him.
"Hey where are you going?" Nando asked.
"Saying goodbye to mom and dad. Hurry up, need" She said as she waited for him to catch up.
~~~
Among the crowd, CC finally saw Katie and reach for her "hey where did you go?? I was worried sick about you" She said as she hug the smaller girl tightly into her arms.
"I was just... I.. I don't even know what I was doing. Maybe I was too scared and coward to face mom and dad for the last time. They must be disappointed at me" Katie said as she start to sob as she look down while pushing the Ace away a bit.
CC grabbed her by the chin and slightly lift up "hey look at me. I'm sure aunt Allison and Uncle Carlos not disappointed at you, although you literally make them wait before they could cross to bridge.." She said jokingly.
Katie chuckles softly and turn towards her parents "sorry mom. sorry dad. I'm here now... Good bye...." She said slowly as she started to tear a bit.
The surrounding getting sorrow follows by the somber music playing for the funeral.

After the ceremony ended, they all drove to California, Torres residence to retrieve some of their belongings that they could bring to Walker's.
"Oh my- Nando! I can't believe you have the whole pokemon special edition collection!?" Wyatt said as his eyes glued on the collection file of the Pokemon cards.
"Well it took me 2 years worth of lunch money for me to buy those.luckily for me, mom didn't bother to ask where and how I get that from" Nando said proudly.
"can I bring Mr.Fluffy with me? He will be all alone when I'm gone..." Ellie said as she hugged Mr.Fluffy.
Jess squats down and smile at her niece "of course honey. Take whatever you want to bring home" She said.
On the other hand Katie sat down on the bed of her old room. She looks around and reminiscing the chaos and those bickering moments of her with her mother.
She sighed softly and smile "gosh... I'm starting to miss you mom..." She said.
"Somebody needs shoulder to cry?" CC asked as she leans against the door frame as she look at the girl.
Katie smile and Pat down the empty spot next to her "come here" She said.
CC oblige and walked closer and take a sit next to Katie "got anything you want to bring to LA?" The Ace asked.
"Not really..." She said and suddenly she remembered something "oh wait- I do have something that I need" She said as she gets up and gets to her parent's room and lay down on the floor.
CC watches her dumbfounded "what are you doing on the floor? Did you lost something under that cupboard?" She asked.
"Where is it??" She said to herself as she reached her hand further and slowly her hand touch something hard "bingo"She grabbed it and pull it out.
" A box? " CC said.
"I think this box contain the information that I want. Once we reach home, let's open and see what's inside" Katie said.
"Girls! We're moving already. Katie did you found anything you want to bring home?" Bill appears unannounced as he startled them.
Katie hit the box behind her and smiles awkwardly, followed by CC "y-yeah. I'll be down i-in a second with CC." She said as she stutters few words.
Bill nodded and walk away.
"Let's go" Katie said as she grabbed CC's hand.
The Ace pull the girl towards her and kiss her softly on the lips before pulling away "sorry.. I can't resist.."
"You need to have self control you know that right? " Katie said as she blushed so hard as she gets mad slightly at the girl.
CC chuckles and walked with the girl to the living room downstairs with the others.
~~~~~
Later that night, Katie sneaked into CC's room along with the box. She carefully close back the door and lock it.
She walked closer to the Ace on the bed and watched carefully "did she fell asleep already? My goodness.. " Katie said as she wakes the girl.
"CC wake up. You promise you want to open the box with me" Katie whispers softly to her ear.
Slowly the Ace wakes up as she yawns rubbing her eyes slightly "sorry... I must've doze off to sleep when I close my eyes to rest" She said.
Katie felt guilty waking up the Ace as she put the box to the side "you know what? The box can wait. Just continue your beauty sleep okay? " She said as she leans closer and kiss the Ace on her forehead before getting up.
CC grabbed her hand and sleepily swings her hand side by side "you're not sleeping with me tonight? There's always space for you to squeeze in" She said.
Katie leans closer as she smirk "are you really sleepy or just pretending to be one?" She asked as she play's with the Ace's hair.
"Please~ Sleep with me~" CC begged childishly as she opened her arms wide.
Katie chuckles and caresses CC's cheek "alright fine" She said as she lie down next to CC.
"Yay~" The Ace celebrate as she wrapped her arms around the petite girl "I love you Katie..you know that right? " The ace said as she buried her face close to Katie's neck.
Katie squirms a bit as she felt the Ace's lips grazing around her skin "I-I know. I love you too" She said as she held the Ace's hand tightly into hers.
