Caren p.o.v
"Hey" I saw the name on my phone and answered immediately 
"Hey" Josh answered
"Hey... " I answered again a little but more slowly
"So...  I just wanted to tell you,  uh I can't hang out this weekend"
"Yeah,  okay neither can I..  I'm going on this thing with the girls and some other people" I didn't want to mention that Caleb was also going with
"sorry" I said with a grimace I really wanted to see him this weekend I needed to talk to him
"Yeah I'm also doing something with all the boys."
"I'm sorry that I can't see you.."
I trailed off not wanting to tell him that I actually really wanted to see him

"Yeah me too.."
"So what you guys doing tonight"
Oh,  not much liams sleeping over and the rest of the guys are coming tomorrow but laim and I are deciding what pizza to get"
"Oh that sounds awesome!  I'm just chilling now after netbal practice..  And I know what your going to say!  Netbal on a Friday?!  We had to practice because we have a match next week and I need to practice since I didn't at all during the holidays!"
"Woah, Caren you didn't practice all holiday!  That's woah I don't think I can go a week without going to the gym"

He goes to gym!  What the hell
"Josh!" I laughed "you know me!"
"Josh!" I heard a guy shout from the other side of the phone
"Just hold on liam!  I'm on the phone!"
" You've been on the phone for to long!!  You have to order the pizza!"
"It's hardly been ten minutes!"
He shouted back and laughed
"I guess hes hungry huh" I laughed
"Yeah but he's always hungry!" He shouted the last part just to make sure that liam heard him 
"Oh shush Josh!" I said "you'll make him angry and then he'll come after you!" I said while laughing
"He'll never catch me!" He said
I laughed
"Yeah because your so fast!"
"Hey!  I am faster than what you are!"
"Oh you did not! I am so faster than you!"

"Yeah whatever you say.."
"I challenge you!  The next time we are together we have to race to see who is actually faster!" I laughed
"Okay okay we will race and I'll beat you so badly!"
I blushed a little even though I knew that he couldn't see me
"Yeah whatever you say!"
"Hey I have to go and order that pizza now, I'll speak to you tomorrow?"
"Yeah, yeah  okay I'll speak to you tomorrow Josh,  have a good night"
"You too Caren,  night"
"Night"
I hung up and smiled
I looked around a remembered that I still had to pack for tomorrow and I hadn't even started

Kate p.o.v
"Have you even heard from her?"
I asked
"No, she hasn't spoken to me yet..  I wanted to go over to her this afternoon but her mom wouldn't let me get past the front gate..."
"Why would she.." I spun around to face Caleb
"What did she say?"
She just said that I couldn't go in at the moment but, she looked almost I don't know like something was wrong"
"Wait,  you went to Amelias house?"
Kaden finally spoke up
"Kaden that's not important! Did you not here what he said!  It could mean something bad!" 
Kaden looked at me, turned around and walked up into his room 
"I'm sorry,  but I think you'd better go" I smiled and walked him to the door
"Okay so to confirm I have to be here before 12 so we can get going right"
"Yeah everyone will be here so yeah"
"Everyone?  Meaning Amelia?"
"Yeah" I smiled but it didn't reach my eyes
"Okay cool I'll see you guys tomorrow"
I closed the door behind him and turned to walk up the stairs
When I got to Kadens door,  I knocked on his door and I before he could answer I pushed his door open

"Hey, you"
"Hey" he answered half heartidly 
"I'm sorry Kaden, I didn't mean to be so mean down there..  I'm just worried"
"I know Kate,  I just.. she obviously likes him a lot and it looks like he really likes her too! And I know she'll never like me the way she likes him"
"I'm sorry Kaden,  I didnt know that you still liked her so much"
"Yeah well..  I do still..  Like her I mean"
"I'm not going to say sorry again!" I laughed
He looked at me and broke out laughing
"Damn! I was hoping you would say it again" he laughed "you hardly say it at all"
I laughed again and punched his arm
"Love sick huh?"
"No! I just yeah" 
I laughed and he pushed me off the bed

"Hey!" I got up and jumped onto the bed pushing his face into a pillow
He pushed me of once again and I landed on the floor
I laughed so hard tears were streaming down my face
I looked up at Kaden and saw that his face was also wet with tears
"We haven't done that in a while" I smiled
"We need to do that more often" he said while I was getting up
"Yeah" I smiled and wiped away the tears "yeah"
I walked to the door and looked back again but Kaden had already fallen asleep
I closed his door and walked down stairs to get my phone
I got down stairs and almost had a heart attack when I saw who was standing in my kitchen

"Amelia! Oh my God! What the hell!"
She didn't answer
"Are you okay?" I looked at her tear stained face and there was a cut on her left cheek
"I..  I'm fine I just had to get away from him.."
"Who?"
"My father Kate oh god,  my father"
She said as she collapsed
"Amelia!"
I raced upstairs to get Kaden
"Kaden!"  I shook him awake
"Kaden wake up!"
"Kate what the.."
"Amelia's down stairs! I need your help!"
He got up and I raced back down the stairs
"Amelia?" I helped her up and was half way to the stairswhen Kaden showed up
"Wow! Finally!" 
"Okay what can I do?" 
"Get her other arm!"
"Kate?" Amelia asked sound in like she just woke up 
"Hey.. Hey your okay"
"I have all my stuff packed" she said suddenly  like that's what I needed to worry about right now
"I need to go get it" she insisted pushing my arm away and trying to turn around

I looked at Kaden and he nodded
He took her up the stairs and into my room and I went to phone Caren 
She picked up on the third ring
"Hey, uh this is gonna sound weird but can you come over with your stuff for the weekend and when you do make a turn at Amelias?  To get her stuff she here right now and yeah it's really weird"
"Umm okay I'll be there in ten"
"Thanks so much Caren I owe you one"

"No problem Kate,  I was going to be there in the morning anyway"
Oh wait Caleb was going to be here in the morning too! 
Should I call him?  I asked myself
No,  I wasn't going to call him this late
I went up to my room and saw that amelia had passed out on my pullout bed and Kaden was sitting next to her on the left wiping the scratch on her face with a wet cloth
"Is she okay now?"
"I think so she stopped talking and babbling as soon as her head hit the pillow"
"What was she talking about?"
"Nothing in particular just some stuff like our house was the closest to get to and she never wanted to go back to her house buy still wanted to go back?
I don't really know it was all jumbled"
"Kaden..  Amelia said that her father was back"
"What!?"
There was a knock from downstairs stopping me from saying anything further

"That must be Caren"
I went down stairs and opened the door to let Caren in, I took Amelia's stuff from the floor next to her and taking it upstairs
"Okay so Amelia got here about 10 minutes before I called you and she was pretty shaken up"
"Is she okay?"
"I don't know"
"She said her father was back and she had to get away?  So I don't know what happened but I guess we have to wait until morning when shes up?"
"I hope she's okay I mean after all that has happened I can't believe he chooses now to show up!"
"I know!"
We got upstairs into my room and put the stuff we were carrying down
Amelia was still asleep and Kaden had also fallen asleep next to her
He mist really have been tired to have fallen asleep so quickly twice in a row now

Caren looked kinda supprised to see Kaden at Amelia's side and she gave me a skeptical look
"Tomorrow" I promised
And took out the spare bed under mine for Caren to sleep on
"Imma change"  I said.
"Yea good idea" she said looking down at her jeans and t-shirt
"I'll change too"
I decided to let Kaden stay where he was because I didn't have the energy to get him up and out of my room at this time and I didn't want to wake him up again

"Nighy Caren" i said while climbing into bed
"Kate?"
"Yeah?"
"Blanket? Pillow?"
I lauughed and got her the stuff she needed
"Sorry" i siad while yawning
She didn't answer I looked over a saw that she was asleep
I turned of the lights around the house and went to sleep hoping that Amelia would be okay
