-REAL LIFE-

Kat zipped up her suitcase as a knock sounded at the door.

"Come in!"

When she glanced up, Jared was standing there with a sheepish expression on his face. Things had been a little less tense between them since they had talked things out and come to an understanding that Kat would never cheat and that they both still loved each other immensely. However, with the finale and having to film the scene where Lucifer snapped Summer's neck, it had gotten harder. Especially since after Summer died, Kat had been spending a significantly reduced amount of time on set.

She still popped by occasionally to say hi, but it wasn't the same since Jensen and Jared had to continue filming the end of the episode with the cemetery scene and where Dean goes to stay with Lisa and Ben. She hadn't been in the scene where Lucifer killed Cas and Bobby and beat up Dean since Summer had died right after Sam said yes, and that was also why Cas brought Bobby back and not her.

"Hi," she greeted him.

"Hey," he replied, shifting his weight uncomfortably in the doorway. "So, you're leaving, huh?"

"Yeah, I'm headed home. Get to start looking for a new job. My agent might actually have found me an audition for something, but she wanted to wait to give me more details until I was officially finished here."

There was an awkward silence and then they both spoke at the same time.

"Kat-"

"Jared-"

They both stopped, smiling a little, and Jared gestured with his hand.

"Go ahead," he told her.

"Oh... Well, I guess I just wanted to apologize for everything."

"No. No, you don't have to, um... It's me who should be sorry. I should have trusted you more and I'm sorry we grew distant because of what I did. If I could go back and change things, I would."

"Like the song..."

"What?"

"Crash and Burn," Kat continued as if it should have been obvious. "In the second verse."

"'I wish that I could take back what was done,'" Jared quoted, smiling a little. "But I don't want to try and find a way to leave it all behind. I want to figure this out. I want to be with you, because without you, I'd... I'd..."

"Crash and burn?"

"Y-yeah..."

Kat walked over to him, staring up at his big brown eyes that were currently filled with so much sadness and reminded her a lot of Sam's puppy dog look. She stood on her tiptoes, reaching up and tugging him down closer to let their lips brush together briefly before settling back on the balls of her feet.

"You'll be okay, Samantha."

"But what if I'm not? What if I do crash and burn without you?"

"Then you just always keep fighting. No matter what happens, you always keep fighting. You hear me?"

"Yeah, Kitty Kat. I hear you."
