- Third POV -

The next day, at the BAXTER HOUSE, Grayson lays in bed underneath the fluffy blue paisley bedcover. He tries to sleep, but glimpses of himself and Roxy bothered him, and even worse, when Catty punched him in his face and broke up with him.

He wakes up and looks at three picture frames.

A picture of himself and Catty smiles.

Another picture frame of himself and Sebastian.

And the last one of the Beckett Crew.

But the picture frame of himself and Catty bothered him the most because they won't be happy.

Not able to get any sleep, Grayson gets up and gets himself dressed in his usual all black bad boy clothes.

DOCK

Grayson drives up to the dock on his motorbike and looks out at the sea. He sits there and thinks about his relationship with Catty and how much he screwed up with the young woman that he loved and he has lost her. Again.

Catty (VO) Sure, Grayson has made some mistakes, and now, he has to deal with them. Will he and I reconcile? Will I ever be able to forgive him? Eventually.

ROCHELLE'S DINER

Later that day, I'm sitting at the diner counter with my to-go coffee cup of latte.

"Are you gonna be okay, Carrey?" Sasha asked me, referring to my tense breakup with Grayson.

"No, not really, I'm still pissed." I said to her.

"I know Grayson hurt you, Catty, but Jade Ester is the one to blame." Leigh Ann said.

"Jade is psychologically deranged and anyone would be foolish enough to listen to her." I said.

"Someone foolish enough like me." said Grayson.

Leigh Ann, Sasha and I looks at Grayson, who looks at the three of us.

"Lee? Sash? I'll see you guys later." I said, getting up and walks away.

And not even a glance at Grayson as I walks out of the diner.

Grayson slowly walks up to the diner counter and looks at both Leigh Ann and Sasha.

"She can't even stand me anymore." Grayson said.

"Can you blame her, Gray? I mean, you did hook up with her other best friend, Roxy, and then, Jade rubbed it in Catty's face with an explicit VHS tape." Sasha said.

"Damnit." Grayson said, gently runs his hands in his shaggy brown hair. "Jade manipulated me by putting my Mom in danger and used my former relationship with Roxy. I fucked up."

"Yeah, you did." Leigh Ann said.

Grayson gives Leigh Ann a really look on his face, but doesn't make a fuss about it. "I might've deserved that."

"What are you gonna do, Gray?" Sasha asked him. "You're not gonna give up on Catty, are you?"

"Hell no." Grayson said. "Even though, Catty is pissed off at me, but I'm not giving up on our relationship."

"All of this Jade Ester shit started with the Spice Jangle incident back at the boarding school academy. So, yeah, Catty has her reason to dislike Jade." Sasha said.

"Grayson? Do you really love Catty? And no bullshit either?" Leigh Ann asked with a serious expression on her face.

Grayson looks at Leigh Ann. "Of course, I love Catty. I've always loved her. I just wish I hadn't listened to Jade and now, Catty will never talk to me ever again."

Grayson, Leigh Ann and Sasha exchange worried looks at each other.

THE BLUE CLAM DIVE BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE

That late afternoon, I'm sitting at the bar counter, nibbling on a bowl of cashews.

Shaun slowly walks up to me behind the bar counter. "What has you so mopey, Catty?"

It's complicated." I said to her.

"Boyfriend drama?" Shaun said.

"Something like that. I don't want to talk about it." I said to her.

"I get it." Shaun said. "And it doesn't matter how much booze you drink, the pain will still be there."

"Fair point." I said to her.

Holland slowly walks up to the bar counter. "Hey, Catty. How are you?"

"I'm doing good." I replied with a small smile.

"Your parents and I, along with Delaney are having dinner at the diner this evening." Holland said.

"That's good. You guys should hangout more often." I said to him.

"Yeah, we still have our group chat, which is good." Holland said.

Shaun and I exchange small smiles at each other.

THE CLUBHOUSE

That evening, I'm sitting on the staircase, playing on a game on my Nintendo DS. My phone buzzes in my blazer jacket pocket. I take my phone out and looks at it.

Peter Beckett (Dad)

I pause my game and answer my phone. "Dad?"

"Catty? Where are you right now?" Sheriff Peter Beckett asked me, worried.

"I'm at the clubhouse with the guys, what's going on? You sound worried?" I asked my Dad.

"Some of the asylum inmates escaped from the Providence Asylum Institution." My Dad told me on the phone. "Stay right where you are, Carmina. Lock the clubhouse doors."

"Okay, we will, love you, Dad." I said to him.

"Love you too, sweetheart." My Dad said, and hangs up his phone.

I turn my Nintendo DS off and puts my phone in my blazer jacket pocket.

[Song: Will You Follow Me Into The Dark -- Klergy]

I gets up and walks up to the Beckett Crew, who's sitting on the sofas.

"You guys? My Dad just told me that some of the asylum inmates escaped from the Providence Asylum Institution. We need to lock the doors." I told them.

Sebastian and Grayson gets up and walks away. They both walk up to the front double doors and locks it.

shortly after . . .

At ROCHELLE'S DINER . . .

Deranged men and women asylum inmates makes a mess by breaking plates and silverware, maniacally laughing in the process.

In the kitchen, Rochelle hides behind the sink with a baseball bat just in case.

🔵🔵

At the Blue Clam . . .

Holland and the older Thrasher gang members fights off and subdues the asylum inmates while making a mess of things in the process.

🔵🔵

And back at THE CLUBHOUSE . . .

I'm sitting in the windowsill, worrying about my parents, handling the asylum inmates situation.

My phone buzzes in my blazer jacket pocket. I take my phone out and looks at it.

Jade Ester

I answer my phone. "Jade."

"I'm coming for you, bitch." Jade said to me.

"Well, you want me, then, come find me. I'm the one you really want. I'll be at the park." I tell her and hangs up my phone.

I look at the Beckett Crew, who's sitting on the sofas, waiting on phone calls from their parents.

I gently leaps off the windowsill and walks away without them seeing me.

🔵🔵

- Third POV -

A few minutes after, Leigh Ann looks at the windowsill and I'm not sitting there.

"Where's Catty?" Leigh Ann asked the guys.

"She was just here." Sebastian said.

"I thought the doors were locked?" Sasha said.

"They are." Grayson said.

"Catty can pick locks you guys." Alyssa reminded them.

Grayson's phone buzzes in his pants pocket. He takes out his phone and looks at it.

It's Catty.

Grayson answers his phone and puts his phone on speakerphone. "Catty? Where are you?"

"You guys listen to me. I don't have much time." I told them on the speakerphone.

"Catty? What the hell are you talking about?" Leigh Ann asked.

"This is the only way I can free myself from Jade Ester's personal vendetta against me. She's coming after me and she'll hurt you guys to get to me." I tell them.

"CP? Whatever you're thinking of doing, just don't, okay? This is not the way." Grayson said.

"Grayson? I'm sorry. I was angry at you. And I'm sorry that I punched you. Jade Ester has made our lives a living hell and I'm the person that she wants." I told them.

"Catty, please, don't do this." Sasha said.

"I love you guys." I said and hangs up my phone.

"Shit." Grayson said. And calls my Sheriff Peter Beckett.

"Grayson?" Sheriff Peter Beckett said.

"Mr. Peter? Catty's in trouble." Grayson told him.

🔵🔵

PARK

I'm standing in the middle of the park. Jade slowly walks into the park with a baseball bat, along with five young women Red Bull gang members.

"Such a little lamb you are, Catty." Jade said to me. "I've always adored your boldness."

"Let's get this over with." I said to her.

Jade sly grins with a malicious expression on her face. "I have a few minutes, so, take her."

The five young women Red Bulls gang members runs up to me and restrains me.

Jade slowly walks up to me. With a pair of brass knuckles, she punches me in my face, leaving a bruised cheekbone.

I spit out some blood at Jade Ester's shoes. She hits me with her baseball bat, knocking me out onto the ground.

And the five young women Red Bull gang members hits me with their baseball bats and I cover myself.

🔵🔵

THE CLUBHOUSE

My Mom and the parents regrouped with the Beckett Crew in the main living room.

"It's been minutes." Leigh Ann said, worriedly.

The door opens and a distraught Sheriff Peter Beckett slowly walks into the main room, holding me in his arms, bridal style. I'm unconscious.

Everyone becomes worried upon looking at my bruises and scrape wounds.
