What A Catch.

Chapter 93

Pov Casey

I hold the magazine out in front of me. It doesnt look half bad. On twitter theres a new trend of having cute scars and drawing a heart on your torso in pen. I laugh, if only they knew.

Patrick leans over my shoulder and looks at the page.

"Wow, look at that." He says. "You look beautiful."

I laugh, "it could have gone so many ways."

"It went the right way, your scar is famous. You are known. You have made it."

"Wow. Ive made it." I laugh at the magazine.

He sits down next to me and I give him the magazine. He flips through the photos and smiles at my by a tree, barefoot.

"Amazing."

"Gosh Case, look at you!"

I blush.

"These are... Majestic!"

"Yeah, yeah..."

He kisses me on the cheek and I smile. He runs off to show people and I put my feet up on the table. 2 more days.

Everyone has interviews today. I dont.

As they leave I smile and wave. As soon as they are gone I paint my nails plumbago.

I play some Fall Out Boy music and dance around to dry my nails.

I sing along to Tiffany Blews and What A Catch with deep passion.

I collapse onto the sofa and watch some Tv. Adverts pollute the screen and I turn it off within minutes.

I draw a pile of puppies and name them after Shakespeare characters.

I curl and straighten my hair.

I reply to some tweets.

I pretend to be an aeroplane.

I pretend to crash.

I work out how often it snows in Sweden and when they should next expect snow (on thursday).

I make a sandwich.

I eat a sandwich.

I make a milk shake.

I drink a milk shake.

I read 12 chapters of my favourite book.

I get bored.

I sit down on the sofa and stare at the wall. What did I do when I was at home. That was a long time ago.

I go on tumblr, without knowing for how long.

Everyone arrives back. I was on tumblr for 3 hours straight without knowing. Whoops. They all talk about how they mentioned me and I smile.

"And Joe fell over and almost broke his guitar!" Andy laughs.

"Hey, it hurt!" Joe replies.

"Frank tricked me again and stole my drink." ray mopes.

"Shame. It was tasty." Frank adds.

I sigh, tilting my head, it sounds like fun.

"Can we not get drunk tomorrow, for once. I know its a tradition but I want to remember the last day of tour." Pete says.

"Good plan. Is there somewhere nice for a picnic that is near?" Patrick asks.

"Well..." Pete shares a look with Beth.

"So, Case, what did you do whilst we were gone?" Patrick asks.

"Oh!" I gasp. "Not much? I-urm. Well. My nails?" I stutter awkwardly.

"Thats a nice colour." Mikey says and I smile at him.

"Thats all?"

"Cool."

Theres a silence as I struggle to gain my dignity.

The bus starts up and we leave.

"Last day tomorrow." Beth says quietly.

"This was an amazing trip. A trip of a lifetime." Gerard says.

"When will we see you guys next?" 

"We can pop around at some point for a catch up but we are writing a new album... The guys know how that is." Mikey says.

"I see."

"We may be writing a new album too. We are going to use Just One Yesterday on it." Patrick says.

"A busy 9 months ahead." Joe adds.

"Like a baby." Pete adds with a smirk.

"Beth are you pregnant?!" Frank yells, standing up.

"No!" She yells back, standing up to face him.

Frank sighs dramatically and sits back down. Beth takes a seat on Petes lap again.

"Thank fuck." Pete murmurs onto her neck.

Beth laughs.

"Are you and Patrick a thing?" Ray asks.

I open my mouth to speak but Patrick beats me.

"We dont have to be a couple but right now we are on the edge of a relationship. When she is ready?" He says, turning to confirm with me.

"Yeah. I mean, we are taking things slow." I say.

"Aww. Cute!" Frank says.

I blush and Patrick laughs.

"Well, Im going to hit the hay." Joe says, standing.

"We are too." The majority of Mcr and Andy leave.

Pete and Beth smile at me and Patrick, leaving.

"Bye!" I say sweetly.

Pov Patrick

Everyone leaves and she smiles, brushing some hair behind her ear. She keeps eye contact for a moment before looking down at her dress and fiddling with the hem. 

"So." She says.

"Sorry." I say, noticing that I was staring.

"Its okay, it... Cute."

"You are just so encapsulating to watch. But... You know... Its making me nervous because... I really like you and... I feel like Im slowly falling in love with you."

I catch her by surprise as she looks up suddenly.

"I notice little quirks and cute little things happening as time passes and, although I said we are going to take it slow, I really like you."

She blushes furiously.

"Do you feel the same?"

"I-I-I urm. Yeah, Im glad Im not the only one. I-I was kind of scared of falling love if its one sided and..." She trails off.

I search her eyes, is she sure?

"Wow, youre so cute." She giggles.

She bites down on her lip and looks into my eyes for a moment and I hold my breath. 

"Theres only one cure." She whispers.

I give her a confused look, broken off by her leaning at me. I grunt as our lips touch as I feel a spark, Im sure of it. I start to domiate the sweet kiss and move my lips against hers. After a moment she moves back and giggles, biting her lip.

"Jesus, Casey." I whisper.

"Short and sweet. Like us." She laughs.

I laugh.

"Lets go, long day tomorrow."

Im still dumbstruck as she leads my by my hand toward our bed.
