Cat took a shaky breath as the voice went away. He eyes focused and she saw a concerned Ashton sitting in front of her. His hazel eyes were bright with worry.

"You're okay, you're home," he gently rested his hand on her knee to relax her. "Do you want me to get Mich-."

"No, no, no. He cannot see me like this," her lips trembled as she spoke. Ashton nodded and studied her. "I just need a minute." he sat back on his legs, giving her some space. After a few moments she began to stand. Clutching at the countertop, she took another shaky breathing. Ash slowly stood up and kept his eyes on her. He had a feeling on what was going on but he did not come out and say it. She slid the plates across the counter to the end before walking to the fridge. Ash rested his hand on her elbow, carefully pulling her back.

"I'll grab the drinks," he moved in front of her and opened the fridge, grabbing some cans of soda for everyone, before she could protest.

"Thank you."

"I think Mikey should know."

Cat looked at him and headed for the door. "He doesn't need anymore stress."

Cat was curled up beside Alex again, who was almost asleep just from watching a horror movie. Mikey and Ashton had gone up to his bedroom to play video games and pass out. She sighed and nudged Alex.

"Alex, lets go to bed." all she got was a mumbled answer as he turned and wrapped an arm around the couch pillow. Cat groaned and stood up, grabbing a blanket to throw over her best friend.

She made her way upstairs, using her phone as a flashlight. A loud bang came from down the hall causing her to stop. Cat knelt against the wall and waited to see if she heard anything else.

"Shit" a voice she was just getting to know spoke up. Cat got up and walked towards the bathroom where she saw a shirtless Ashton.

"Ashton?" she said weakly, her cheeks starting to burn, and cleared her throat. "What are you doing up?" her eyes scanned down his body, noticing he was only in a towel. She quickly looked back at his face.

Ashton dropped his toothbrush in the sink when she spoke. His curly hair was pressed against his forehead like he had just gotten out of the shower. "Oh, um. Mikey said it was alright to take a shower," he turned slightly towards her. "I'm sorry if I woke, I tripped getting out."

"It's fine, I was just heading to bed. Alex's already asleep." she watched the boy nod and pick up his toothbrush to put away, wiping his mouth off. "I'll let you get dressed, goodnight." she stepped back and turned to walk into her room.

"Goodnight, Catherine."
