Honestly, Bob hadn't scared Catty off from wanting to be Harry's friend. She was hurt, sure, but that was because Bob had told her that she was basically hurting Harry. That was something that didn't sit well with Catty, not only because Harry was one of her best friends, but because she didn't want to feel ashamed for wanting to be with Ren.

She was glad that he'd ask her to talk, since she had been ready to say something to him soon. They couldn't go on like this. After all, how can you be friends without actually hanging out? And something felt always weird and awkward when they were around each other.

So Catty went out to meet Harry, ready for whatever would happen. "Hey..."

Which was why he hadn't told her in the first place. The last thing he needed was to be the source of more suffering, just a reminder of the series of failures that made up his life.

"Hey," he replied with a wave when she came into view, standing up and leaning back against the staircase.

Life, and being a teenager in general, was built on suffering. Catty knew how it was, hot it worked. You couldn't just avoid suffering, no matter how much you wanted everything to go smooth sailing.

She waved back awkwardly before giving a nervous giggle, running her fingers through her hair. "So. Where do you want to go?"

[notthatharry]

All he'd known for most of his life was suffering and abandonment, he was still learning how to deal with anything else.

Standing he shrugged and said, "We can just walk, I don't have a destination in mind. I don't plan on this taking long."
