Kat POV

I blink and shake my head trying to keep myself awake. I guess I do have a concussion… Damn!

I look around me, and I see nothing but nature. I know that I am getting close to the city as I run.

A few minutes later I see a house with a car in front. I run towards it and I knock on the door. It seems to be empty. I walk towards the car and I use my illegal skills to open up, there is not enough gas on it for me to put on the bus, but it has enough for me to drive to town and get gas on the gas station.

I start the car and I drive.

I just hope Jake's parents aren't there, because meeting then while driving a stolen car won't be a good impression!


Hope POV

I am seating next to Stacey holding her hand. I am scared but I know that everything will be ok, because mom and daddy are here.

Mom said she would have to leave to get help is the bus stopped. But it is still working so…

Oh no! It's slowing down… It stopped!

I look desperate at my mom. She looks at me and smiles. She comes and hugs me.

"I will be fine Hope! It is you and your dad that I am worried about… I know you two… You will have a party on this bus while I am away!" She laughs. "Like you two did five months ago! With you friends and you dad…"

I giggle. "You knew? How?"

She laughs harder. "Your father was not able to take off the makeup you girls put on him! He had to ask for my help…"

I laugh. "Did you like it?"

"Oh yeah! You daddy never looked more handsome in his life! You should do that more often!"

"I will mommy!"

"Sweety I've got to go now… Behave and do not worry! I will be alright! I am just going for a long walk… When I come back I will bring with me help for Stacey and the others… I love you Hope!"

She hugs me tightly and gives me a kiss on the forehead.

"I love you two mommy!"

She stands up and looks to all the other kids.

"Alright kids! I will be going now… I will get some help! Don't worry and behave alright?"

"Yes!" Most said.

My mom looked at me one more time and then left the bus followed by dad.

I look through the window and I see them talking fast and quietly. Dad hugs mom and then gives her a kiss on the lips. Eww! Gross!

And then mom leaves.


Kat POV

While I am getting closer to the gas station a see many people there shouting and lost.

As I get closer everyone looks towards me. I get out of the car and a woman in a green coat looks towards me and screams.

"Hey! That is my car! She stole my car!"

I see some officers coming towards me but I just ignore everything and shout.

"I need gas! The school bus is out of gas! I need gas to take to them! And a few ambulances too! Someone? Help!"

They look at me finally understanding what I am saying. While others start to cry and get desperate, a few men that are holding big containers of what I think is gas run towards me and say "Here miss! You can have my gas!"

"Do you know exactly where they are Ma'am?" Some paramedics in an ambulance ask.

"I will show you the way!" I say walking towards the stolen car with the gas while they go to their ambulance.

And at this point there are so many people screaming and saying that they are going… A complete mess.

"Shut up!" I yell. Everyone stops talking and look at me. "We will bring your children back! Just wait here 'cause being there will only get in the way! So everyone stays here! Except… Stacey's parents… Are they here?"

The woman that screamed that I stole her car said "That's my daughter! Why can I come? What happened to her?"

"Look! I know that you are all worried but we don't have time for this! The kids are fine! So everyone settle down! And you Ma'am, you can come with me… I will explain in the way! Now let's go!"

I say and then I walk in the car soon followed by Stacey's mom. I drive away with the ambulances and a few police cars right behind me.

"Sorry about stealing you car… I… I had to get to town fast and your car was the first one I found it…" I say breaking the silence in the car.

"What happened to my daughter?"

"A deer got in the way of the bus… So when it stopped your daughter got hurt… She was conscious when I left… But don't worry 'cause my husband is there, and although he is not a doctor he can handle himself well enough to care for her!"

She looks at me worried and sad.

"Thank you! And forget about the car! I am really thankful that you stole my car!"

"Uhn… You know that I will return it right? I didn't actually steal… I borrowed without permission for a good 'cause… There!"

I say looking forward. The bus is in front of us. I stop the car and Jake is already out of the bus going towards me while I am getting out.

The ambulances stop and go straight for Stacey that is still conscious. A police officer got the gas from me and went to fill the bus so he could drive the others back to town. A paramedic says that me and Jake should go with them in the ambulance and I agree, sending Jake to the ambulance with Hope while I go ask one of the officers to put some gas in the car I stole and drive it back to town for me. He looked at me like he was considering arresting me but in the end he just nodded.


Gail Green POV

Eric, Johnston and me are in the main hall with others. After the mess in the gas stations was dissolved we came here to discuss things.

"I know that she stole the car so she could help the kids but it is still stealing… Should we arrest her when she returns? And who is she? You saw all that blood? You think it was hers? What if she killed someone? What if she is dangerous?" Jimmy says panicking.

"Jimmy! She only stole the car to help the kids! We will not put her in jail for something like this! Besides… I think that might be Katherine… Even with all that blood she looked like Hope…"

I say and I see Stanley nod in agreement with me.

"Who is Katherine? And Hope?" Bill asked.

"Katherine is Jake's wife and Hope is their daughter…" Stanley says.

"Jake? Jake Green?" Gray Anderson says looking at Johnston. "I did not know he was married and/or had a daughter…"

"Yes! My brother is married and has a daughter, can we move on?" Eric says protective. I guess finding out that Jake didn't tell them about them, made him rethink things…

"Sir! The school bus just arrived and the wounded were taken to the hospital. The one most hurt was young Stacey, but the doctors say that even with everything she will be fine. They also said that you son Jake is the one that saved her, and that without his care she would have been dead already. They said that Jake and his wife are also injured but that his daughter is ok… Although I had no idea Jake had a wife and/or daughter…" Said officer Ron.

"I will go see how they are doing!" I say.

"I will go too!" Says Eric.

"We will go too…" Says Stanley holding Bonnie.

"I will go too." Says Johnston.

"So you are leaving mr mayor?" Says Gray.

"Our son is in the hospital with his wife and my granddaughter! We will go see how they are and Johnston will return after! Do you understand Gray?" I say.

He looks at me a bit taken back. "Yes Ma'am…"

"Good. Now let's go!" I say and I walk away close followed by Eric, Stanley, Bonnie and Johnston.

When we arrive at the hospital we see a lot of people walking in every direction when we spot April.

"April!" Stanley yells.

April looks towards us and then comes to meet us halfway through.

"Jake got hurt, he has a minor cut on the head with a small concussion, and a big stab on the leg that he got when his car crashed with Katherine's taxi, but overall he is going to be just fine. Katherine has a concussion and lost a lot of blood from the cut in her head although the cut it is not deep, and she also had a dislocated shoulder that Jake put back in place in the scene of the accident, she will also be just fine. And Hope, although scared me see the blood in her, it was her mother's blood and she was not injured. They are in the room 16B, I can ask someone to escort you all there if you want, but I can't do it myself 'cause we are a mess here!"

I smile at her and say "There is no need, I know where the room is. Thank you April!"

"Alright then… I've got to go… I will talk to you all later!" She smiles and gives a small kiss on Eric's cheek and then leaves to talk to a nurse.

I show the way to the room to the others. When we get there and look inside we see Jake and Katherine all cleaned up laughing with Hope. So the girl that stole the car really is my daughter in law… She looks different without the blood and the intensity that she had…

Stanley is the first one to say a thing, obviously.

"Hey! So you must be Jake's so out of his league wife!" He says walking in the room. Jake laughs and Hope shouts happily "Uncle Stanley! Aunt Bonnie! Grandma!"

Katherine laughs and says "And you must be my so not in my league future ex husband!"

"Hey! Why future ex?" He says pretending to be hurt.

"Because I am a free spirit!" She says laughing.

"This is very funny! But Kat will be no one ex except of the ones that she already is an ex of!" Jake says smiling.

"I am confused…" Says Hope.

"Forget it Hope! They are just being silly…" Bonnie signs to Hope and then turns to Katherine. "It is nice to finally meet you!"

"It's my pleasure Bonnie! I always wanted to meet you!" Katherine says smiling.

"I don't need to say that it's nice to meet you and all that, right? I mean… It is kind of obvious…" Stanley says to Katherine that laughs.

"You are exactly how Jake described you! It's great!" she says.

Hope gets up from the bed and walks towards me, hugging me.

"Hi Grandma!"

"Hello Hope! I am so glad you are ok!"

"Someone had to take care of mom and dad!" She says giggling.

I see Johnston moving awkwardly after this comment. He is too hard on himself…

"Come! Let me introduce you to my mommy!" She says taking my hand and guiding me towards the bed. When I get the I hug Jake.

"Jake!"

"Mom! Are you ok?"

"Of course! Oh God! Look at you! You are hurt!"

"I am fine mom! You gotta stop worrying about me…"

I smile and say "Well… Good luck with that!"

"Mom, I want to introduce you to Katherine…" He says looking at her and then me. "Mom this is Katherine, Kat this is my mom."

Katherine looks at me and smiles.

"It is nice to finally meet you Mrs. Green! I've heard great things about you!"

I just walk to the other side of the bed and hug her. I can feel her surprise at first but she hugs me back either way. Then I whisper in her ear. "Thank you for taking care of my son and making him so happy! And thank you so much for giving me a granddaughter!"

I step back and say "It is nice to meet you too!".

She smiles at me and then turns her head towards the door. Where she sees Eric and Johnston felling awkward.

"And you must be Eric, the handsome brother that the lovely April is married to! Don't just stand there! Come hug your new sister in law and your lovely niece!"

Eric laughs and walks in. He walks towards Katherine and gives her a shy hug.

"It's great to meet you Katherine!"

"It's just Kat!" she then signs to Hope that is by Bonnie's side to step closer. She takes Hope's hand and talks to her. "Hope this is your uncle Eric! Remember you dad told you some stories about him?" Hope giggles and nods. She then turns to Eric and says politely.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, uncle Eric!"

Eric gets down, hugs her and says.

"The pleasure is all mine Hope!"

The room then gets silent, everyone knows that the only person that wasn't introduced yet was Johnston. And although Katherine joked with Eric she doesn't seem comfortable doing the same thing with him.

Hope, as a child doesn't seem to see what the others see, or maybe because she is a child is that she can see and move pass it. She walks towards the door, she the pulls Johnston clothes as if asking him to get down. He does it and she says "Are you my grandpa? I always wanted to meet my grandpa! My friends says that grandparents are the best! They are always sweet and spoil us! My mom said that the only grandparents I have are my dad's parents… Are you my grandpa?"

Johnston smiles and with tears in his eyes he says.

"Yes! I am your grandpa!" And then he hugs her.

No one says a thing, they just let them have their moment.

"Do you want to meet my mom?" Hope says happily.

"I would love too."

Hopes takes him by his hand towards Katherine and says "Mom! This is my grandpa! Grandpa, this is my mom!"

Katherine smiles at Hope and then turn to face Johnston.

"It is nice to meet you Mr Green!"

Johnston moves awkwardly. "The pleasure is all mine. I… uhn… I've got to go… There is a lot going on but we will talk soon." He looks at Eric and says "Eric, coming?"

"Yes dad!"

They are in the door when Jake says.

"Eric! There is an empty prison bus out there…"

Eric turns to Jake and says "Whereabouts?"

"Sedder Run."

"Alright! Just relax, I will take care of it."

Eric says and then turns to leave, but Johnston stops and says looking to Jake. "You did a great thing out there tonight! And… You are doing good son! Your grandfather would have been proud!"

And then he turns to leave with Eric. When he is gone Jake laughs and says.

"Just like dad… Always has to have the last word!"

Then we all laugh. Laugh without worries, leaving everything else for later and enjoying the right now.
