Mikey slammed the door open which caused the two on the couch to jump. Cat landed on her feet and spun towards the door as Alex fell out of the couch. He groaned as he went to stand.

"God, you two act like you were doing something you weren't supposed to be doing," he squinted at them and then shook his head. He then laughed as he sat down his bag. Alex squinted at him before picking up a couch pillow and throwing it at him, hitting him in the back of the head. "Ow!"

" I don't like girls, you piece of shit." he spat out before reaching for another one. Mikey picked at the one that was thrown and threw it back, making Cat duck where she stood.

"Michael!" Alex yelled as he held up a pillow to block the incoming one.

"Wow, I'm so glad we play football and not baseball." Ashton noted as he watched Mikey throw the pillow. Mikey laughed and took Ashton's bag to place it beside his own.

"Make yourself at home Ash," Mikey made his way towards the kitchen to find something to eat. "Ten feet rule!" he yelled back, specifically to Cat. She rolled her eyes and turn to Alex.

"That doesn't apply to me."Alex stated as he pulled her back onto the couch as he sat down. She saw Ashton sit down on the other couch out of the corner of her eye. He was quiet, which was odd for someone who was Mikey's friend. "Oh damn, where can I find an Ian?" Alex muttered under his breath.

"Ian is a bipolar guy who never takes his medicine, you really want to take care of him? You nearly killed your cat Alexander."

"Kitkat, please. We all know that animal was old. I always make sure you take you-" Cat punched him in the arm and he groaned in pain.

Ash studied them for a second before looking back at the tv. Mikey came back in with some chips before plopping beside him. Ashton reached over and took some, glancing at Cat every so often.

She stayed in Alex's arms for the rest of the show. She would punch him lightly when he made a sexual remark about a character. Michael would roll his eyes at Alex and mutter something along the lines "this show is stupid." but he had stayed to watch it anyway.

They had ordered pizza since none of them want to cook or even knew how to. The doorbell rang and Cat untangled herself for Alex to collect the pizza. She brought it to the coffee table.

"I am going to grab some drinks and plates." she shuffled off to the kitchen. Ash watched her before standing up.

"I'll go help her." he moved quietly after her.

In the kitchen, Cat grabbed a few paper plates. A sharp pain radiated through her skull, causing her to drop them. She wanted to cry out in pain.

"Isn't funny that I can hurt you without physically touching you?" the taunting voice was back. It echoed through her brain. "You thought that medicine would help you? Try again little girl." Cat clutched her head and fell to her knees.

"L-leave me alone!" her voice was shaky. The voice laughed causing her to shudder back into the corner.

Ashton had walked into the kitchen and looked around before he noticed her on the ground. "Catherine?" he dropped to his knees in front of her and reached out. Cat backed away more. Tears ran down her cheeks as she tried to focus on him.

"Ah, finally. Ashton is here. Perfect." the voice rang out before it disappeared.
