AN: So this is the last chapter. Yeah, I know, sad. But don't worry, I have plans in my head for my next Maitlyn adventure.

Chapter 5 - Everyone's Happy
"Mitchie! Caitlyn! Breakfast!" Mom yelled through the door.
I rolled over, and grunted out a reply. I listened for her footsteps heading down the stairs before I whispered to the angel next to me, "Morning."
Her eyes fluttered open and she gave me a smile. She wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me closer to her. I didn't have any problem with that, but if my mom was expecting us downstairs ready to eat in a few minutes...lets just say I can't handle being this close to a naked Caitlyn without the obvious happening. It's like trying to resist a diamond that's right in front of you.
"Nooooo." I protested, half of me wanting to let my hormones get the best of me, the other half trying to focus. "Foooood."
"Fine." She murmured while slowly rolling off my cozy bed. As she searched my room for clothes to wear, I peeked out the window. It was still cloudy and raining, but not pouring like last night. As I sighed and pushed the curtains back into place when I felt something pinch me.
I squeaked and turned around to see Caitlyn smirking and holding up two possible outfits.
"That was my butt!" I smiled.
"I know." She grinned while laying one outfit down on the bed. "I like this one better."
Even though I was trying not to let myself get out of control, I couldn't stop my eyes from exploring her body.
"The clothes are over here, Torres." She said, still looking at the two outfits in front of her. I giggled before placing one hand on her stomach from behind her, the other on her hip.
"I like what you're wearing now." I whispered into her ear.
"I'm not wearing anything." She pointed out, glancing back at me.
"Exactly." I smirked, kissing the back of her neck.
"I'm sure your parents will like it just as much." She replied while picking up the second outfit and walking to the other side of the room to put it on.
I sighed and tilted my head to the side while putting on the outfit she had set to the side. I didn't care what I looked like, even though I noticed none of my clothes matched. All that mattered was that Caitlyn and I could be together.
"Ready?" She asked while pulled the shirt over my head. I finger combed my hair and walked over to her, pecking her lips as I walked past her, and walked out the door.
The rest of the day went smoothly. We'd decided to tell my parents about us later on, after we'd had a few more sleepovers, because they probably wouldn't let us stay in the same bed after they found out we were dating.
I figured my mom would take it pretty well, I'm already convinced she has some kind of idea about us. My dad is a whole seperate story. I've never really gotten is side on how he feels about same sex relationships, but I'm sure he won't kick me out or anything harsh like that. He might need some time though.
As for Caitlyn's parents, I have no idea how to break it to them, or when to. We've already decided her mom would be kept in the dark unless it she had to know. As for her dad, she said she already told him about her being a lesbian, so there shouldn't be a problem there. Speaking of her dad...
"When's your dad getting back from his vaca from the mayor looney town?" She knew I meant her mom. She smiled at that while spreading her legs out on the grass. We were in my backyard...all twenty feet of it.
"In a few days. Hey, I just thought about it...but shouldn't you be at school or something?" She gave me a look before taking a sip of her juice box. Excuse me, my juice box.
"Our school is so cool that they let us have Halloween and the day after off. I didn't think that was legal...but some how they got the school board or whatever to agree to it a few years ago." I explained. I hadn't been paying much attention to the dates lately, but I think it's Friday. I looked up at the cloudy sky as it sprinkled around us.
"I wish I could go to your school." She murmured, setting down my juice box.
"Why can't you?" I asked, remembering that her mom wanted to home school her.
"Barbie, special bitch addition, won't let me out of her clutches." She frowned at her shoes.
"Well, you can always ask your dad to let you go." I suggested while running my fingers across her arm.
"I'm pretty sure he's away because their getting ready for divorce number three. Which means I'll have to pick one of them to stay with." She mumbled.
"So pick your dad. Isn't that he obvious choice to make?" I asked.
"Think about it, Mitchie. He's not gonna stay in the same town my mom is in, and probably not even the same state." She explained.
"Oh..." I hadn't seen that before now. When, not if, but when her parents got the divorce final, her dad would be moving somewhere far away from her mom. I don't blame him, I wouldn't want to stick around her either, but that means Caitlyn will be moving too. Why did my life have to suck so bad? I tried to fight back the urge to cry and throw a fit.
"But we don't have anything to worry about, I'm staying with the wicked witch." She quietly told me while rubbing her arm.
"What!? Are you crazy? She'll kill you in your sleep! Why would you pick her over your dad? You told me yourself how much you love him." I didn't want to see her go, or even think about it, but staying with her mom is a suicide move.
"But my mom is staying here...in Florida...where you are..." She looked up into my eyes.
"You'd stay with your mom just to be with me?" I asked so quietly that I was surprised she heard me.
"As much as I love my dad...and as much as I hate my mom...it's nothing compared to how much I love you." My stomach felt weak. The yard was spinning around me and the lump in my throat made it hard to breathe.
Never, ever ever ever, has anyone said anything like that to me before. Sure, my parents love me a lot. Sure, Sierra has said it once or twice with a friendly hug. Sure, my really old and smelly relatives have said they loved me. But no one has ever made me want to cry when they said it. None of the others made feel pathetic and unworthy. I don't deserve Caitlyn. Look at what she's willing to do to be with me. I'm not that special.
I didn't realize I was crying until she pulled me into a hug. I just sat there wrapped in her arms, my face hidden in her hair as I let the waterworks go. I'm such a baby sometimes.
"I l-love you." I sobbed against her neck.
"I don't just love you, Mitchie. I need you. I'm nothing without you. I've never been more happy then I am right now. And it's all because of you." She whispered back.
"I love you." I repeated. No matter how many times I said it, it never came out the way I wanted. It was never powerful enough to show her how much I love her. How much I need her.
"Maybe we should go inside." She suggested. I stood up beside her and the rain began to fall harder. I guessed that was why we were heading into the house.
I tossed my empty juice box into the garbage and followed Caitlyn to the stairs, wiping the last tears away. Coming down the stairs was my mom, who looked really upset over something.
"Mom, is everything okay?" I asked. It's not like her to be mad. She was usually calm about everything.
"The nerve..." She muttered to herself before looking up at us. "Oh, hey girls. Actually, Caitlyn's mom called." Oh crap. "She asked if Caitlyn was over here but before I could answer her she was yelling at me." My mom looked hurt. No one ever yelled at my mom. She was just too nice. Nobody could get mad at her.
Caitlyn and I exchanged a nervous glance. "What'd she say?" I asked, my voice a little shaky.
"She was going on about how Caitlyn had run away from home and if she didn't get her...you know what, back home soon she could just stay with us for the rest of her life. Give or take a few adjectives in the middle, and few more adjectives that I don't even wanna say." She explained. I had a feeling that she was leaving all the bad parts out. That her mom had said a lot more stuff then that.
"So what'd you tell her?" I asked, my concern showed in my voice that was an octave too high.
"Well, I told her what any good mom would say." Oh God. "I told her that Caitlyn can just stay with us if that's the way she's gonna treat her. She was madder then anything but she said she'd send Caitlyn's brother with Caitlyn's stuff later. And even though she didn't say it at the time, I'm sure she meant to say that she loves you, Caitlyn." She gave Caitlyn a sympathetic look.
I jumped on my mom. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Caitlyn was soon in on the group hug, and I was laughing like a lunatic.
"Thank you so much, Connie." Caitlyn smiled at her.
"Aw, it's no problem. Mitchie's always wanted a sister." She laughed.
"Uh..." Way to kill the mood mom. "Actually...we've been meaning to tell you something."
I reached out and took Caitlyn's warm hand in mine as we let the big group hug go. My mom noticed and she looked like she was fighting a smile, or maybe a frown, I can't tell.
"Me and Caitlyn...are kind of like, uh...you know, like a...couple?" I'm not sure how you tell your mom that you're dating you the girl that your mom just said could move in with you. I didn't read the instruction manual on this one.
"I knew it!" She exclaimed pointing a finger at me. She must of seen the worried expression on both our faces because she added, "And I'm completely okay with that."
"Thank you mom. I love you so much." I hugged her again before Caitlyn added, "Thank you so much, Connie. You're like the mom I always wanted."
My mom gave her one of those 'I'm gonna cry' looks and she pulled her into a hug. I was getting jealous for a second, but they let go soon enough to were I didn't have to worry about it.
When both myself and Caitlyn were up in my room, my dad at his store and my mom out running around doing crazy mom stuff, I thought it'd be a good idea to let Sierra in on the deal.
I called her over and I was surprised to see that Freddie got here with Caitlyn's crap load of junk before she did. I made him stay, so that made three of us up in my room.
"When can I go?" He asked impatiently.
"I told you, after my friend gets here. I want both of you to meet her." I held back my smirk.
She finally got here about half an hour later, complaining that her mom insisted on her staying to help clean the three dirty litter boxes that their twelve cats use. I tried not to bust out laughing as I dragged her up to my room.
I sprinted in and stood in the middle of the room, Caitlyn on my bed and Freddie in a bean bag on the floor reading one of my stupid summer reading books that I hadn't read last summer.
"So I was all like why do I have to stay and help, they're your cats! And then I was like..." Sierra stopped when she noticed my other visitors in the room. "Who are they and why are they looking at me?"
I laughed and pointed to Caitlyn and then Freddie. "That's my friend Caitlyn from Camp Rock, and that's her older, more mature, very available, very handsome, brother Freddie. He's really smart, and available. He's got a truck too. A shiny one. And he's available. Did I mention he's single? Oh yeah, he's single. Like just, so single!" Could I drop any more hints?
Freddie looked up from the book at the mention of handsome. He grinned that jaw dropping grin at Sierra and I swear, the connection was there. At least, I hoped it was.
I nudged her towards him, and he took the bait.
"You like Star Trek?" He asked, pointing to the funny looking triangle thing that was pinned to her shirt.
"Of course. It's only the greatest intergalactic show ever invented." She seemed star struck and sat down next to him. They started talking in a different language. I guessed it was that stupid Star Trek talk that all dorks are required to know.
I took my seat next to Caitlyn and she giggled.
"Looks like you did have it under control." She whispered as the two love nerds kept going on in that same funky language.
"I hope so. I've been trying to get that girl out of that cat house for years." I whispered while looking away from the love struck teenagers and over to my own romance partner.
"Saving the world, one geek at a time." She giggled as they switched back to english and began talking about the book Freddie had in his hands.
"We should get paid to do this." I commented.
"We'd be rolling in money." She giggled back.
"Hey guys." Freddie announced to the room, standing up with Sierra at his side. "We're gonna head over to the smoothie place in town."
When Sierra wasn't looking, he added in a silent thank you. But then when Freddie was heading out the door, Sierra mouthed thank you to us, too. I'm sooo opening a business. Maybe I can set up a little cart next to Otto's place.
We waited for the door to shut downstairs before attacking each others clothing. It wasn't long before we were both asleep in my bed.
I was finally happy. Caitlyn was snuggled up next to me. Sierra was out with Freddie doing God knows what by now. My mom's okay with us being an us. I was finally happy with everything.
I just can't wait to see the look on Shane's face when we show up at Camp Rock next summer holding hands.

THE END
AN: I know it's short and has a really bad ending, but don't worry. A sequel is already being formed in my noggin'. XD
