Yeah right. Everything was certainly NOT coming up roses.
Cat Lichen was incredibly, incredibly confused as she leaned against her favourite tree, putting her toes in the icy stream. So much had happened in the past year, and it was very overwhelming for the small 14 year old redhead. The sky was blue, and it was unnaturally warm outside. It was a Saturday morning, so Cat was just decked out in a pair of jean shorts, flip flops, and a green sweater that really complimented her eyes.
She didn't know what to think anymore. Since that incident last night with Luke in the towers, she knew she had to break up with Reuben, but she was incredibly scared of hurting his feelings. He was so sensitive and adorable, that a blow like that might hurt him a lot, and Cat didn't want to be held responsible for that.
The girl was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice someone come up behind her.

Casimir could now vaguelly see a blur now. Everything was still quite out of focus but atleast he could see something. It wasn't just this bleak darkness. He could see figures and light. He could see light. When he first realised this, his heat leap in his chest. He was no happy to be out of that Satan's pit. Soon his eye sight could come back fully. And that day...that day...
He still was in need of his white, glossy ivory cane though as he strode down to the stream. It was still hard to walked as he could only see at a shirt distance. His foot, suddenly, caught a rock and he suddenly fell, hitting his ehad a aginst a tree.
"Damn this," he grumbled and got to his feet slowly.

Cat jumped and turned around to see Casimir stumbling around. Quickly, she got up and made her way over to him, making sure to avoid a prickle bush with her bare feet and legs. "Hey, Cas," she said happily, putting her arm around him to steady him. "You okay?" Although she was two years younger than him, she felt quite protective of him because of his eyes and how she still felt it was partially her fault.

He turned and spun around to face Act. he could just about see her but it was all a blur. A broad smile played on his face.
"Cat! I can see!" he exclaimed, his voice full of glee, until he frowned and sighed. "Well just about. It's all pretty blurry though." He was so proud of himself though. He was only a few steps away from finishing this ordeal. His burns, though, still left painful scars. Along with painful memoirs.

Cat's eyes widened and she grinned. "YAY! GOOD JOB!" she exclaimed, giving him a tight squeeze. "And that means it's getting better, right? You're just going to improve." She was incredibly happy that he hadn't been blinded permanently, not just because they were extremely good friends, but so that she wouldn't be as guilty about causing it. But she knew that it would scar him for life, which was still not good.

He smiled at her. "Thanks. It was a horrible fase of my life though. Terrible," he said and thus he sat down next to her. Sighing he leant against what he knew was a tree, putting his hands behind his dark, silky locks. "How are you then, Cat?" he said, turning to look at her smiling. They had grown a powerful friendship between them, after what happened in the forest. Now they were really best friend.

Cat could imagine and just nodded, but then remembered that he probably couldn't see that, so she said, "Yes, I can't imagine..." She really couldn't, and never would be able to. She rolled her eyes. "If I said I was good, I would be lying, so I guess things are not all that good right now. How bout you?"

"Happy for the first time in a few monthes," he said as a broad smile stratched from ear to ear. But it soon vanished as he turned to face Cat. He frowned as he presumsed that she wans't good. he could sense it in her melancholy voice.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly.

Cat shrugged. "It's nothing, really. Just, at the moment, it feels like the romantic drama is finally catching up with me. I'm more scared about that then about Davey and stuff," she said. Cas was her friend, and she knew he could trust him with her problems.

He chuckled, bemused, as he was too caught up in the same situation.
"Yes. Romantic drama i'm sort of tangled in that web. Liza is the problem now and i don't know what to do about that with Scarlette," he said sighed shaking his head.
"What about you? what's the crisis in your life?" he asked.

She gave Cas a small smile. "Well things happened, and I have to break up with Reuben," she said sadly. It wasn't a topic she really wanted to talk about but she assumed it was better if she got it off her chest. "I accidentally ended up kissing Luke last night..." she said sheepishly, turning bright red. "Please don't tell Reuben or anyone though... that would kill him," she added hastily, feeling quite tied up inside.

Casimir's expression became quite unreadble, and sullen as he took it with seriousness. Cat had just revealed to him and secret which was now his burden. It weighed him down slightly, but yet he was happy that he had taken the weight of her chest as he was helping her to cope with just a tangled up a moment.
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone," he said and shook his head, smiling reassuringly. "I've been in this siutation too. I know what you're going through. Anyway," he said and sat cross legged. "What exactly happened? What made you change your mind? And most imporant of all...what do you think of Luke? Do you feel the same ways towards him as with Reuben?" he said and lowered his head. "Sorry, this might feel quite intimidating. You don't have to answer the questions if you don't want to, Cat."

"Ah, it's okay," Cat said cheerfully, but her voice faded when she began to answer the question. "Um... well we were just talking and he randomly kissed me... but it was like I completely lost my mind and I was ... er .. holding his hands and stuff. Yeah." She felt kind of awkward talking about this with one of her best friends who just happened to be a guy, but she didn't show it. She bit her bottom lip and pondered the other questions before carefully replying. "Um, I guess I changed my mind because although I love Reuben, I love him so much, he's just never around. And, you know, I'm only 14. I don't just want to be attatched to one person for my entire life. I want to explore and stuff. The only problem is, Reuben and Luke are like best friends, and I really don't want to hurt Reuben," she explained slowly, as though she was explaining her problems to herself and not Casimir. "And, I really don't know who to pick. Wait. That was a really bad word choice, but it's kind of the truth. Reuben is adorable, and he's incredibly romantic, but Luke is probably my best friend I've had since coming here. I'm scared that might mess things up, because if we ever got into a messy fight and I lost him as a friend, I'd probably die. But that means we know each other really well, and what makes us angry. And I've liked Luke for forever, so I really really don't know what to do." She felt great now that she had that off her chest, but hoped she hadn't bored Cas with her annoying girl talk.

Cas had been listening, taking in her words. This had happened to him before, but that was when two girls had kissed him, one in front fo the other and they forced him choose. Of course that was really hard as he both loved them, so he dumped both of them. Simple as that. But now the Scarlette/Liza problem came up from the blue. It was quite similar to Cat's. Liza ws his best friend, some one he took as his sister and Scarlette...Scarlette was his girl friend and he loved her. HE was just as stuck as Cat.
"Well, do you have to tell Reuben about the kiss?" he inquiered further.

"I don't, but we really should be honest... and Luke and I can't just go back and act like nothing happened. It's going to be awkward," she said, but she really didn't want to choose, so not choosing sounded like a very good idea at the moment. She leaned back against the tree and sighed, looking quite deflated and pale.
