Katie and Caitlin had now been dating for over 2 months. The two girls managed to keep it a secret from almost everyone, just letting it slip to their best friends. Jordan was the only one from the arsenal team that knew they were dating. When Katie and ruesha broke up, Katie didn't tell the girls, but with everything moving to social media they all kind of found out. A few of them asked if she was alright but it was clear Katie didn't want to talk about so no one said much.

One afternoon Katie, Caitlin and jordan were all getting ready for a team bonding night at Beth and vivs, when jordan asked the girls, "You gonna tell them tonight?" Katie and Caitlin just looked at each other before Caitlin shook her head. "We can't tell the team before I tell Lia, I need to tell her privately, she deserves to hear it from me first" Caitlin said looking into the mirror at Katie to see her reaction, Katie just nodded in agreement, she also wasn't in a rush to tell them as they all only just found out about her breakup.

As Katie, Caitlin and Jordan arrived at Beth and viv's they could tell most the team were already there. Katie opened the door letting herself in followed by Caitlin and Jordan. The night was going well, all the girls were having fun mingling until Kim sat everyone down to start some team bonding activities. The first one being truth or dare. Beth started and looked right to Katie with a evil smirk on her face, "Katie truth or dare" Beth said laughing, "neither" Katie said a little scared of what Beth was thinking, "no, choose" Beth whined, "fine,truth" Katie said, "So you had a rebound yet?" Beth asked, Katie knew exactly what she meant and didn't know what to say, "sorry" Katie said a little taken back, "you know after your breakup, have you slept with anyone as a rebound" Jordan laughed spitting out her drink, making everyone look at Katie, who was now as red as a tomato, Caitlin on the other hand was slightly embarrassed, was she just a rebound. Caitlin got up pretty quickly to get some more drinks, trying to leave the awkward conversation, Katie saw and knew something was wrong, "uh yeh I guess" Katie spoke a little distracted now as Jordan followed Caitlin to the kitchen. The game continued while Jordan and Caitlin talked in the kitchen.

As Caitlin walked to the kitchen she could feel her chest tighten, she hadn't had a panic attack since her first year at Arsenal and didn't know what caused it, she turned around trying to distract herself when she saw Jordan, "Cait your okay, just breath" Jordan said pulling Caitlin to her chest, "just listen to my heart beat" Jordan continued. Katie and Jordan were the only 2 that knew about Caitlin's anxiety and were really helpful when it came to her panic attacks. "Thanks Jordan", Caitlin said as she finally calmed down. "You wanna talk about it" Jordan asked not wanting to push, "do you think I'm a rebound for Katie" Caitlin said quickly catching Jordan of guard. "What no of course not, she liked you well before she broke up with ruesha, don't be silly cait, it was just a joke". Jordan said wrapping her arms around Caitlin again. "Yeh I guess" Caitlin replied still a little shaken. "Come on chick let's go back" Jordan said wrapping her arm around Caitlin and walking her back to the living room.

Both girls went back to the living room and sat down next to each other, as soon as they sat down Katie gave Caitlin a worried look who just looked in the other direction, than Katie gave Jordan a confused look, looking for some sort of answer, but Jordan looked equally confused. As they game continued it came around to Lia, "Lia truth or dare", kyra said, Lia just shook her head at kyras grin before choosing truth, "why did you and Caitlin break up" kyra asked leaving everyone but Caitlin interested, Lia looked to Caitlin who was already being looked at by Jordan and Katie, "You should probably be asking Caitlin that" Lia said laughing off the awkward moment. Everyone turned there heads to Caitlin who was next, "so Caitlin" Beth said, "why did you a lia breakup" Caitlin didn't say anything, what was she supposed to say, "um we just uh you know fell out of love" Caitlin said, Beth wasn't buying it, "nope tell us the truth" Beth said followed by the rest of the team now begging, "that is the truth" Caitlin said still being told to continued, Caitlin couldn't take it, everyone was yelling at her, she could feel her chest tightening, her eyes becoming glassy, "BECAUSE I WAS IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE" Caitlin yelled catching everyone including Lia of guard, Caitlin ran out the house, Lia also got up and ran to the bathroom in tears, everyone else sat in awkward silence unsure what to do. Jordan quickly got up and followed Caitlin knowing she would be having a panic attack, as she got outside side she saw Caitlin sitting down on the phone to her sister, who was calming her down. They ended the phone call and Jordan went and sat next to Caitlin, "I didn't want Lia to find out like this, I just couldn't take it they were all yelling at me and I just freaked out" Caitlin spoke, Jordan just wrapped Caitlin in her arms while she calmed down.
