Cat comes walking down the stairs and her face drops when she sees me, but she holds her tongue. "Cat, this is Dan, you probably don't know each other." I guilty-wave at her and force a smile. "Oh, I know Daniel!", she says in a cheerful tone before giving me hug and whispering 'What the fuck?' in my ear. "Um, what is happening here?", Phil looks confused my way. "Oh, Phil,", I start. "Have I ever told you about my former best friend; Catherine?" He shots a weird look at Cat and she starts speaking. "Yeah, Daniel and I were best friends before he moved out of town. He was my neighbour actually." Phil's eyes widen. Exactly what I wanted to see. I was right, it does make a funny scene. "Are you going to stay the night?", Cat asks. "If I may?" "Sure thing, I'll make your bed." And with that she heads upstairs again.

"You know Cat?", Phil walks upto me, his eyes only grow wider and his eyebrows crawl a little higher, almost into his hairline. "Yes", I half-laugh. "And I knew who you were talking about when you said everything about her." "You are one little shit, aren't you?" "Yes, yes I am."

I follow Phil upstairs. When we walk into, what I suppose is the extra room for when somebody stays the night, I see Cat shaking up a pillow. "Your bed's done", she smiles at me. "Thank you very much, Catherine", I snap sarcastically back at her. "I'll leave you two so you can talk for a while,", Phil says. "I'll be downstairs if you need me." He disappears and I take a seat next to Cat on the freshly made bed.

We both stare at the ground/our feet for a while, when she starts to speak. "So, you are the Dan?" "What do you mean by the Dan?" "The Dan who my boyfriend gave a blowjob?" Shit. I'd thought, maybe she forgot but no she decided to have a dog mind. "Oh, that. It was nothing, really." "Sure, sure, I believe you." It's quiet again. When I lift my head, she does too, which causes us to look in each others eyes. "So.. Do you love him?", she asks, I can see the pain in her eyes. I don't get why she's so afraid to loose this guy. As I remember, she was always the one to have one boyfriend after the other and she never really cared. As she used to say 'As long as I'm not very, very old I'm not gonna worry about having a boyfriend who actually stays'. "I don't know how to answer on that." But secretly, I sure do know how to answer; I love him so, so much and he's so beautiful, but how can I hurt my former best friend? "Dan, I've been knowing you for longer than today. I can see in your eyes that you love him!" "I wish I wasn't that obvious to you, I never meant to hurt you and I will never mean to hurt you. Besides I-..." The doorbell goes and she's faster than lightning out of the room.

"Mother, again?!", I hear Cat's voice from the hallway. "I need to talk to you", a familiar voice says back. "Sure."

Not long after, Phil enters the room. "And? Did you talk a lot?" "Long story short; she know knows that I'm in love with you." "Does she mind?" "I don't think so, I hope that she doesn't mind." He sits himself next to me. "Why can't you just breakup, like I know she'll still live here because her parents don't want her to-.." "How the fuck do you know all this shit?" "I bumped into her in Starbucks.. Anyfucks, you love me right? I don't see the problem." He rolls his eyes, maybe I was to direct? Ugh. I just want him for myself and as fast as possible too. "When are your eyes going to open and see that I can't just breakup with her! It isn't that easy!" "Why not?! Do you even love me?!" He leans in and pushes me on the bed before kissing me. "A kiss isn't gonna safe you!", I tell him. "Yes, Daniel, I fucking love you! But it isn't as freaking easy as you think it is!" I push him off me. "And why is that?!" "She's fucking pregnant!" Silence falls over us and a bad kind of surprise overtakes me. "O-of you?" "No, silly." "I-I'm.. So.. Sorry.." "Don't be! You didn't know!" He pulls me in a hug. "Did you mean it when you said you loved me?" "Of course." I turn us around and we both fall on the bed, me on top of him. I've waited too long. I press my lips against his' and forget the world around us.

-Cat's POV-

Phil passes by my side and in my eye corners I can see how he enters Dan's room. "Or you gonna talk me into adoption again?" She pulls me into the kitchen where she receives a disgusted look by Phil's mum. "What is that woman doing in my house?!", she exclaims. "I want to talk with you two. Don't you think it's better for my daughter if she gave the baby up for adoption?" Phil's mum looks like she's actually wants to do this. And to be honest, I've been thinking a lot lately about this adoption. It would be nice if after that, I'd have my 'normal' life back. But that still doesn't take away what my dad did.
