"Hey," Andrew said as he walked up to Catalina. She stood outside of Olivia's apartment. The lunch with his ex had happened about 2 days ago, and they had barely talked. 

"I am leaving tomorrow," He sighed as she nodded. "Good luck," She pressed her lips thin. 

"Can I come in?" He asked as she thought for a second. 
"Um... I don't know. Are you gonna flip out just because Chris is here?" She sarcastically said as he rolled his eyes. 

"Lina-"

"Or do you want me to invite Serena over? I know you love spending time with her," Catalina mentioned his ex crossing her arms as he rolled his eyes.
"Look my publicist was just making more buzz before my tour- It was nothing," 

"I guess I believe you," Catalina said as she opened the door. As soon as they walked in, the group got quiet and stared. 
"Hey everyone," 

Catalina closed the door, watching everyone's expression.
Chris seemed madder than everyone else. 

"What are you guys up to?" Andrew asked, this was the first time a whole room wasn't charmed by him, he had no idea what to do. 
"We were just talking," Nick responded next to Milo. 

"Oh- fun. What about?" He asked sitting on a free spot on the couch.

"We were just reminiscing on the summer that I spent in Boston," Catalina looked at everyone trying to tell them to stop being weird. "Oh... Great!" Andrew said as Catalina sat next to him. 

"Do you remember when Catalina twisted her ankle at the trampoline park?" Olivia cut the silence and everyone who remembered laughed. "I need to hear this story!" Milo said laughing. 

"She was so dramatic about it," Nick laughed as she rolled her eyes. "Hey! No! It really hurt!" Catalina defended herself. 

"Just tell the story!" Madi said as they all started telling it, cutting each other when their memories differed.

"I am so excited!" Olivia mentioned as they walked into the trampoline park. "This seems interesting," Catalina as she watched everyone jump. She had been in Boston for only a week and she loved it, she hoped LA would be similar. 

"The way you talk is so pretty," Chris blurted out as she blushed. "What do you mean?" 
"I dunno... Just your accent, and like your way of saying things," Chris said as Nick and Olivia made a face at each other. 
"Thank you, Chris... That is so sweet," She smiled.

Olivia then turned around noticing who was missing. "Where did Matt go?" 

"I am here dumbass," Matt said from the other side of Nick. She turned back around and rolled her eyes. "Damn- Im sorry," She said widening her eyes and raising her hands. 

"Are they always like that?" Catalina whispered to Chris as he looked down at the pretty girl. "Yeah... Pretty much," He laughed as she nodded.

"Does it bother you?" She asked as he turned to her. "I guess so... I am kinda used to it," Chris rolled his eyes. "I am sorry Chris," She muttered, not wanting the others to listen to their conversation. Either way, Nick was buying the tickets as Matt and Olivia seemed too busy arguing to notice anything. 

"Hey... It is not your fault," he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Still Chris- I feel bad," She repeated as he let go of her. She noticed he seemed upset now, she ruined his mood without wanting to. She was just curious about how he felt that his best friend and his brother hated each other. "It is okay Catalina," He gave her a weak smile as she thought for a second, translating in her mind.

"Look... We are going to have the best of fun! I won't leave your side today," She wanted to cheer him up as he chuckled and looked at her, his hair getting in the way of his eyes. "Would that make you feel better?" She moved his hair out of the way, wanting to see his eyes. He blushed terribly and nodded. 

"That would be great," He pressed his lips and looked away. 

"When you guys are done flirting can you fill out the form thingy?" Nick said as he pointed to some computers. "What form?" Chris quickly said not wanting to bring attention to Nick's comment, that he meant for Catalina, Chris, and the teens that were arguing.

"Just a form that says if you get injured it's on you and not them," Nick said as Chris and Catalina shared a look.

"Esto esta muy divertido!" Catalina smiled jumping around as Chris laughed. "Que?" He said to get her attention. "This is a lot of fun!" She repeated as he laughed. Her smile was enormous, she looked like a toddler. "Look at this!" Olivia said as she jumped high enough, and then did a front flip. 

"Ay! I want to do that!" Catalina screamed and then turned to Chris- slowly stopping. "Can you help me?" 

He nodded and widened his eyes. "I can help you too!" Olivia said but suddenly she heard someone scream her name. "Olivia!" It was Matt screaming. They all rushed to the voice, confused as to why Matt was calling Olivia. 

"Wanna fight?" Matt devilishly smiled. He was in line for the 'battle beam' where two people were hitting each other with a foam stick trying to get the other off the beam. "Oh yes!" She smiled as she stood next to him in the line. 

"Dont get hurt!" Catalina smiled as she pulled Chris away, he kept looking back. "That was weird," He admitted as she turned her head, he loved it when she did that. 

"They are getting along! This is good news, Chris!" She smiled, and he smiled back simply forgetting his worries by looking at her. Then he looked back at Matt and Olivia, who seemed to be arguing in line. 

"They are going to be fighting!" He then realized that they were gonna be literally hitting each other. He was about to rush to them, but he felt Catalina's hand on his. "Chris- I thought you were gonna help me do that thing that Olivia did," She smiled knowing that they would be fine.

"Okay..." 

He started 'spotting her' but he was too scared to even touch her. "I do not think we are doing this right," She laughed as she fell on her stomach again. He couldn't help but laugh. "Let me try again, without your hands," She said as she gave her space. She tried again and fell on her back. 

"Hey!" Chris screamed noticing that she had at least flipped. "I only did it half," She said her accent coming off strong as she rushed to hug him. 
They quickly let go blushing. "Let me try it again!" 

"Do you want me to spot you?"

"No!" 

She started jumping to gain momentum but she seemed to get scared and flopped around in the air, landing on her left leg, her ankle bending. "Catalina!"

"Ow!"  She fell and her hair covered all her face. He quickly rushed to her. "What happened?" 

"I got too scared," He helped her remove all her hair out of the way. She had tears in her eyes and her usually smiley mouth was turned into a frown. "Catalina! Are you okay?" Nick rushed to them.

"I don't know... I think I broke it," A single tear rolled down her face as Nick examined it. Chris stayed by her side. 

"Have you ever broken a bone?" Chris asked her as she quickly nodded no. "It looks fine to me," Nick shrugged. "You aren't a doctor Nick," Chris said as he rolled his eyes. 

"Try to move it around," Chris said as she nodded. She tried but yelped again. "It hurts so much," 

"Here," 

Chris helped her get up and sat her at some tables. "Stay here," 
She sighed, she now felt way better. "Here," He came back with a small icepack. 

She pulled her leg closer and pressed the ice pack to her ankle. "How is it?" He sat close to her. "It still hurts... but better," She smiled, this time it was his turn to move her hair away from her face. She blushed.

Chris and Catalina stared at each other as Matt finished the story.  "Nick, Olivia, and I kept jumping but they sat out the rest of the night," 

"That was the moment I found out that Chris really liked Catalina," Nick said as Catalina turned to him, wide eyes. 

Andrew shifted uncontrollably but then figured out what to say. " I still need to get used to you guys calling Lina- Catalina," 

"You always call her Lina?" Olivia tilted her head, in question. "Yep... Do you like being called Lina more or Catalina?" he turned to her as she shrugged. "I don't really care," She smiled at him. 

"You never told me how Lina came about," He smiled as everyone chuckled. "It was actually that same summer... Chris gave me the idea," She hesitated. 

"Oh... You spent one summer in Boston and so much stuff happened," He tried to joke, but even he could tell everything was weirded out. 

"Oh, you have no idea..." Matt chuckled.
