This fic is based on the movie Marwencol. It's an absolutely incredible movie and I highly recommend it.
I know the title of this is confusing, but all will become clear soooooon ;{)

Caterina Valentine's mouth hung open and her tongue curled around her upper lip in concentration as she applied a heavy amount of mascara to her long eyelashes. She caught sight of the face she was pulling and giggled amusedly before returning to applying her make-up, careful as to not spill any down the pastel pink dress she was wearing. Her long red hair fell down her back, the curls covering the exposed skin, lightly tickling it.
Behind the redhead, her best friend sat on the edge of the large bed in the middle of the room as she pulled her ridiculously high heels onto her feet, grimacing as she knew the pain which lay ahead of her and her poor feet. Jade wriggled her toes around in the shoes and carefully stood up, gaining her balance and smoothing down her black, skin-tight dress before making her way across the pink carpet to where Cat stood.
"I'm so excited to go to a real bar. I feel like an adult," the redhead giggled before she began to colour her lips with the tube of pink lipstick she held in her hand.
Jade rolled her eyes but smiled, "It's not that exciting," she told her, running her fingers through her long black waves to loosen them up, smiling as they fell perfectly before she glanced at the pink clock on Cat's wall, "C'mon, we're already late."
Cat nodded and pursed her lips together before blowing a kiss in the mirror, making herself giggle before she spun around and grabbed her purse, slinging the strap over her shoulder before leaning over her bed, "Be good, Mr Longneck. Don't bother Mr Purples, he's sleeping. I'll be back later," she whispered to the small stuffed giraffes that lay on her bed above the pink sheets.
"Okay, the giraffes are good, let's go," Jade urged, knowing that the guys would be waiting for them, and they were already a good ten minutes late. Cat nodded and blew the animals a kiss before linking her arm with Jade's and leaving her room, leaving the giraffes staring after them.
"Finally!" Robbie cried as he and Beck finally spotted Cat and Jade making their way towards them across the parking lot.
"We were beginning to think you guys had stood us up," Beck told the girls as they came closer, opening his arms for Jade.
"Oh shut up, we're girls - you know the drill," Jade rolled her eyes but accepted Beck's kiss as his strong arm wrapped around her waist.
The guys rolled their eyes in response but guided the girls inside the small bar they had been waiting outside of for a good thirty minutes. As soon as they stepped inside, they were instantly hit with the smell of the usual bar food, alcohol and cigarettes. They weaved their way through the crowds of people until they found a booth tucked away in the corner.
"I'm so hungry!" Cat cried as her stomach rumbled as she sat down on the comfortable chair of the booth, dropping her purse next to her as Robbie slid in beside her.
"We'll go order, what do you want?" Beck asked, resting a large hand on Jade's exposed thigh.
"French fries!" Cat answered, also answering for Jade who just nodded with a smile. Robbie and Beck nodded before climbing out of the booth and making their way up to the bar to order.
"Nice place," Jade commented, looking around at the crowded area around her as she leaned on the table.
"I like it. We should go on double dates more often, like... every day!" the redhead exclaimed excitedly as she twirled a long curl of red velvet around her fingers.
Jade shook her head but smiled as she went back to looking around at everyone. She wrinkled her nose at a group of clearly drunk Northridge girls who were chugging down bottles of alcohol and stuffing fries down their throats.
"Stay away from them, okay?" she leaned in to whisper to Cat, nodding to the girls.
Cat frowned, "Why?"
"Just don't go near them, trust me," Jade told her, patting her shoulder before looking over as Beck and Robbie made their way back over to the table with their food and drinks.
"Here we go, girls," Robbie announced as he and Beck slid back into the booth beside their girls.
"Yay!" Cat cried, grabbing a french fry and tossing it in her mouth, smiling happy at the taste.
Later that night, Cat was sitting alone at the booth. Jade, Beck and Robbie had all excused themselves to go to the bathroom after Cat assured them that she would be fine on her own for a few minutes. She smiled to herself as she twirled her curls around her fingers, bringing the curls up to her nose and inhaling the delicious strawberry scent and giggling.
She let her hair go and decided that she should probably visit the bathroom before they left. She didn't need that bad, but just in case. She grabbed her purse and stood up from the booth, smoothening out her dress before making her way back to the bathroom. But as she walked, she accidentally stumbled in her heels and fell into the group of Northridge girls that Jade had warned her about earlier.
"Sorry!" she cried as she caused one girl to spill her full drink down the front of her 'dress' and nudge her into her friends.
The girl scoffed and roughly shoved Cat by her shoulders, "Watch where you're going."
Cat gasped as her head slammed against the wall behind her and she could feel tears filling up her eyes. She didn't like being pushed, especially that hard.
"Aww, is the baby gonna cry?" another girl cooed, shoving Cat roughly again.
Cat whimpered, "Leave me alone."
"Hey, doesn't she go to Hollywood Arts?" one asked, looking Cat up and down.
"Yeah, she's here with the hot guy and his gank of a girlfriend."
"She's not a gank!" Cat cried, bravely shoving the girl back into her friends but instantly regretting it.
They laughed drunkenly and one of them grabbed Cat by the arm, "C'mon, lets teach her a lesson Northridge style," she slurred before they dragged Cat out of the bar and into the alley beside it. Tears fell from Cat's eyes as she was pulled roughly from the bar, praying that someone would save her.
I know this wasn't a very interesting chapter, but it'll get better, I promise!
