BEEP BEEP BEEP
Thats all Catherine could hear as her eyes began to flutter open but immediately closed when a ray of light hit her pupils
When she try'd to move she took a sharp breath in as pain washed over her body and then memory's of the night before began to surface and her heart rate spiked
Her eyes shot open and she looked around seeing she was lying in a hospital bed hooked up too machines, she closed her eyes praying it was all just a night mare but when she opened them again she was still there...living her worst nightmare
He had found her !
She looked to her left and saw Vincent in an awkward position sleeping on one of the hospital chairs by the window
When she tried to talk nothing came out so She grabbed the remote beside her and pressed the button a minute later two nurses rushed In and brushed past Vincent waking him up
"Wh-what's wrongs?" He asked worriedly as he walked toward her bed
When he saw she was awake he let out a sigh of relief
"Thank god your awake" he said relief washing over his body as he pressed his lips to her forehead
She closed her eyes at the contact and a slight smile curved her lips
"W-water" she managed to choke out and he rushed poring her some as the nurses left the room
He handed her the cup and she managed to grip it but still needed help rising it to her lips
When she took a gulp of it she tried to talk again
"W-what happened?" She asked giving him back the cup and sinking into her bed trying to get more comfortable
"Y-you died" he stated his eyes watery filled with unshed tears
her eyes widened
"I-I died" she repeated and he nod his head
"When I came back from getting the key you were lying in the driveway and had a gunshot wound to your abdomen. I checked your pulse and you had none..."
He watched as her eyes pooled with tears
"So I started to do CPR on you and 7 minutes later...your heart started to beat again, that's when Tess and the girls came home after the night out and drove you here...I arrived later after I took care of some business" he stated his eyes filled with anger
She reached out and grabbed his hand giving it a light squeeze as he looked up at her
"You know when I thought i'd lost you..."
"You didn't loose me" she said brushing her thumb across the top of his hand
"I'm right here" she whispered softly and he suddenly stood up and walked back towards his chair and sat down nervously wiping his palms off his pants
"Vincent what's wrong?" She asked looking over at him but he ignored her gaze
"Catherine I need to tell you something.. and if I don't now I never will!" he said and she nod her head
"Ok" he said and began to pace back and forth
"Vincent your making me nervous!" She stated and he stopped in his tracks and looked directly at her
"That man..." He started off
"The man who took you and your mother 6 years ago and the one who shot you last night the one who refers to himself as MK.. I-I know who he is!"
She looked up at him her eyes filled with tears, anger, deceit and most of all confusion"
"What are you trying to say Vincent?" She asked growing impatient as she sat up in the bed
"That man...is my father"
"No" she replied shaking her head "No yo-you wouldn't do that to me!"she said looking over at him but then the wheels in her head started to turn
"MK" she whispered "Micheal Keller" she suddenly broke down and buried her face in her hands sobbing uncontrollably
Vincent just stood there watching the woman he was slowly falling in love with fall apart and there was nothing he could do, after all he was the reason she was in so much pain
"C-Catherine I am so sorry I never meant for you to get hurt" he apologised taking a step closer but her head shot up
"Bullshit...sit" she growled pointing her finger toward the chair by the window and he walked over sitting down his gazed fixed on the floor ashamed
"TALK...I want to know everything...what my father has to do with you and your family and why the hell you agreed to work for him and protect me when clearly you had an all terrier motive!" She said placing her hand on her bullet wound
He took a deep breath
I guess it's time to come clean! he let out a sigh and began to explain
"It all started six years ago right before I left for the army..my family had ran into some money problems so one day my dad said he had an opportunity to double the money we had so he took a chance and took out everything...all our money everything my family had worked for and gave it to this supposed business man who could double the money" he paused and looked up at her
"Bob chandler, it was only when I was stationed overseas that I got a letter that told me we had lost everything, and the house was gonna be taken off my family, I got released for a month and came home, my dad was a reck couldn't eat, sleep so he came up with a plan to hurt bob like he'd hurt him"
She gasped and stood up a pain shooting through her back and slapped him across the face
"Yo-you new he was going to kidnap me and my mom and you just did nothing" she had underwear on so she turned her back to him and took off her hospital gown pulled her hair to one side and covered her breast with her hands
He could feel his hot tears roll down his cheeks as he stood up behind her and brushed his fingers over her cigarette burns
"No" he said and she could feel his tears roll down her back
"I didn't know he was going to do that, I came home and found a blood trail I followed it to the sitting room and found him sitting down with you unconscious" she turned around still half naked and looked up at him her face red and puffy from crying
"I'm not that kind of person, I'm not my dad.. loosing that money turned him into a different person I had to help you, to save you so I knocked him out and brought you to the hospital"
"And now?" she said dryly picking up her gown and putting it back on
"Why did you agree to take this job? huh! to hurt me even more?" She sat on the bed waiting for a reply
"I took the job pretending...to be on my dads side because if I didn't he threatened to disown me but in reality I always new I could never hurt you Catherine...so a month after I met you i told him no and pulled the plug on his plan!"
She sat there in silence staring into space
"Catherine" he whispered "please say something I-I lov..."
"Don't...don't say you love me because I know that's not true, if you love'd me you would have told me the truth the minute we met, and would've been honest" she walked over and stood toe to toe with him
"Get out Vincent!" She said coldly "I don't ever want to see you again" she wiped away a few tears that had escaped her eyes
"Call my dad, hand in your resignation within the hour we keep what happened last night between us I will talk to Tess and make sure she keeps her mouth shut do you understand?" She asked in a very serious tone
He nod his head
"Then just go" she walked to her bed and lid down
"Catherine plea..."
"Go" she said turning her face away from him
He walked toward the door and stopped in the doorway turning to face her
"Catherine...I can never tell you how sorry I am, I hope one day you can forgive me"
with that he walked out and shut the door she grabbed her pillow and clutched it tight to her chest as the tears rolled down her cheeks
"I love you too" she whispered before crying herself to sleep.
