P.S. I OWN NOTHING FROM THE COVENANT... just my OC's.

--Chapter Zero--

Kaitlin Rosco woke up in pain and very sore, it was hard for her to move. She didn't know where she was or how she got there. The last thing she remembers was being in the car with her brother, boyfriend, and a bunch of friends to celebrate her boyfriends seventeenth birthday, then everything after that was a blur.

She slowly opened her eyes, saw bright white walls, and heard a constant beeping noise behind her. She realized she was in hospital bed. Her head was pounding and she saw her arm in a white cast. She looked over to her left and saw two cops standing at the door and a guy staring at her.

"You're finally awake." he told her, then grabbed his notebook from his jacket pocket. "Do you know who you are?"

She nodded and said "Yeah... I'm Kaitlin Rosco." she paused. "Who are you? Why am I here?"

"You don't remember?" she shook her head. "Okay, I'm Detective Andrews and I've been assigned to this case."

"What case?" she asked, then paused to think. "Wait... how long have I been in here?"

"About three weeks."

"Three weeks!" she yelled.

"You've been in a little coma. This is the first time you've gain consciousness, since the accident."

"Accident?" she whispered.

"What's the last thing that you remember?"

"When?"

"The night of the accident."

"Oh... I was driving my car. My brother Junior, Jessica, Jeremy, Charlie, Luanne, and my boyfriend Alex were with me."

"You were drinking." he pointed out.

Kaitlin looked him with a blank stare. She knew she couldn't lie. "Yeah, a little... I mean we were celebrating Alex's birthday." Detective Andrews nodded. "Tell me what happened, Detective."

He stood up and said "I'm sorry to tell you this, but you and your friends were in an accident. You were headed down a hill. From what the forensics gathered from the evidence, you were speeding. They determined you driving sixty in a thirty five zone, and went head on into a brick wall." Kaitlin's eyes started to water, as her jaw dropped to the floor. "The only survivors were you and Alex Lewis... you two were the only ones wearing your seat belts."

"What!?" she couldn't comprehend what he was saying. "What happened to my brother? What happened to Junior?"

"He died on impact... just like." he flipped through the pages in his notebook. "Jessica and Jeremy Warren, Luanne Lewis, and Charlie Pope." he looked up at her and saw the tears flowing down her eyes. "And all of their funerals happened in the last two weeks."

"No!" Kaitlin sobbed. "No!" she was shaking her head and crying hysterically.

Detective Andrews had the nurses come in and sedate her and calm her down. Four hours later, she woke up and looked around. She saw the same two cops standing by the door. A few minutes later, one went out of the room. He came back in five minutes later, with Detective Andrews.

He sat down and said "Are you feeling better?"

"I guess." she said, trying to sit up. "Why is there cops in here?"

"There is people who think you're a flight risk, because of the accident. When you get out of here, you have to go to court for your sentencing."

"What?!"

"But you and your lawyer will discuss that."

"I'm going to jail? I'm only fifteen."

"I'm sorry... Kaitlin."

She nodded. "Has anyone came to see me, while I was in my coma?"

"Only two people."

"Who?"

He looked at his notebook and said "A Ethan Harris and a Daniel Kwan."

"So, I take it... they are still friends with me?" she shook her head, then looked back at him. "Now that I'm awake, are they still allowed to visit me?"

"As long as there is two cops present, watching you."

"Okay." she closed her eyes, blinking her tears. "I can't believe this has happened." she looked back at him. "I seriously have to go to jail?"

"Yes."

"For how long?"

He shook his head. "That's up to the judge." she nodded, then there was a knock at the door. Detective Andrews got up to answer it. "Come in."

Kaitlin looked up, then smiled. "Hey... Dan."

"I'll be right back." Detective Andrews said, then looked at the two cops. "I'm sure she'll be fine. She's not going to escape, so you two can stand guard outside the door." they nodded, then all three of them walked out of the room.

Daniel turned his attention to Kaitlin and said "How are you holding up?"

"I really don't know. The detective told me earlier about what had happened and I just can't believe it." Daniel grabbed her hand and gave her an assuring smile. "So, what's been going on while I was out?"

"Not a whole lot. Just the funerals."

"Did you go to any of them?"

"I went to Luanne's and Junior's, but I didn't go to Jessica's and Jeremy's or Charlie's."

"Why not?"

"Claudia was on a rampage and since you're my best friend, I wasn't welcome there."

"I'm sorry, Dan."

"No, it's okay, I mean... she's their mom and she's hurting. I get that, but just because of what happened isn't going to make me stop being your best friend." he paused, for ten seconds. "Kaitlin, I'm going to be honest with you... " he said her first name and she knew he was being serious. "What you did was stupid and reckless. You knew you shouldn't have been driving, even when I told you not to go. I know how stubborn you can be, but that time you should have listened to me."

Tears were falling from her cheeks. "I know... I'm so sorry." he pulled her into his arms for a hug. "I didn't mean to."

"I know... it was an accident." he back up and wiped her tears with this thumbs. "It was an accident." he repeated, looking into her eyes.

She nodded, then a few minutes later, she calmed down. "Okay, so why didn't you go to Charlie's?"

He sat back in his seat. "Nobody knows where he was buried."

"Oh."

Daniel looked down and said "So, you're gonna go to jail?"

"That's what the detective told me."

He looked back up at her. "I'll make sure I come visit you."

"You better... because you and Ethan are probably the only friends I have right now."

"Well, regardless what happens, Katie... I love you. So you don't have to worry if we're friends or not, because we always will be."

She smiled. "I love you too, Daniel."

Five minutes later, Detective Andrews came back inside the room. Daniel stood up and gave Kailtin a hug. "I'll see you when you go to court."

She nodded and said "Okay." he kissed Kaitlin on her forehead, then let go of her. "Bye, Daniel."

"Bye, Katie." then Daniel walked out of the room.

Detective Andrews sat down and said "Tomorrow morning is your hearing for sentencing."

"So soon?"

He nodded and said "Yep at nine am."

"Can you do me a favor? Can you call Daniel and tell him? He said that he'd be there."

"I will, because you'll need all the support you can get." he took out his notepad. "Write his number for me." he gave her a pen, then she wrote the number down, he put the notebook back into his jacket pocket. "Okay, after I leave here, I'll give him a call."

"Thank you." she smiled looking down. She didn't know about Ethan being there, but she wanted Daniel there more than anything. Even though, Daniel is a little bit older than her, both of them are best friends and have been best friends since she was ten. Daniel and his family lived in the house next door and he was six years older than her, and they have been best friends ever since so far.

A/N: I would like to point out and say that this is an AU story. I don't exactly know the while process of sentencing and the whole court thing. I know it can take way longer for the process, but I'm going to cut it short and just get to it. Because this story would take so much longer. And I wanted Daniel's character to look the way he looks, because Sung Kang is so effin hot.
