"Hello?" My dad said as he opened the door to the loft.
"Daddy, I need your help." I said through my gasps from crying, and gags from my bloody lip.
"Oh my... Alexis what happened?" He asked, concern lacing his voice.
"I'll explain later, I just need Detective Beckett and your help."
"Yes, of-f course, come in. Let's get you cleaned up." My dad said, taking in my appearense. My black eye hurts, but I can still see out of my eye; my bloody and broken lip makes it hard to talk; and my countless other bruises and cuts are killing me.
"Did I hear my lovely soon-to-be stepdaughter?" Kate said, decending the stairs, "Holly freakin' shit! Alexis, what happened?" I love Kate, I'm glad she's gonna be my step-mom, I exspespeicaly love how she reacts. Not sarcazum, I truly do.
"Detective Beckett." I say, brusting out in tears, running to her. I throw my arms around her and cry into her sholder.
"What happened?" Kate asked, stroking my hair.
"I was attacked." I said in gasps because of the tears.
"Who?" Kate asked, my dad looked as though he wanted to kill whoever attacked me.
"I don't know, I couldn't see there face, it was too dark." I sobed.
Kate pulled me back into a hug, I was happy she did. I feel as though I'm about to pass out, or curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out. After an hour of crying and attempting to explain what happened, I gave up and fell asleep with my head on Kate's lap.
When I woke up, the sun was shining brightly through the windows, and my head was still on Kate's lap. Kate's head was resting on my dad's arm, my dad's head was leaning on hers, and his other hand; the one that wasn't resting on Kate's sholder; was lying on the side of my head.
"Dad? Kate?"
"Hummm..." Kate mumbled sleepily, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm sorry I woke you."
"Oh, sweety, you don't have to be sorry." Kate said, shifting in her seat.
"Your pretty amazing, you know that, Kate?"
"Thank you, but trust me, I'm not amazing."
"I think you are, I have since I met you."
"Thank you, you're pretty amazing, too." Kate said, curling my hair with her fingers.
"Really? How so?"
"Well, you're protective, loving, smart, and beautiful." Kate told me, continuing to twist and curl my hair.
"Thank you." I said.
"I'm hungrey, are you?" Kate asked. I think about it for a moment.
"Yeah."
"What would you like?"
"I don't care." I said, Kate gently lifted my dad's hands from my head and her sholder, then she lifted my head just as gently.
"Alright, let's see..." Kate said, "How about eggs, bacon, and waffles?"
"Sounds good."
