Evan was sitting in the waiting room of Cyprus-Rhodes Hospital anxiously waiting to see if Cappie and Kate were okay. The only reason Kate had to go in was because of the injuries she had when Lance raped her. Evan hung his head slightly but immediately looked up when he saw Casey and Rusty walk through the hospital entrance. He looked down again, not really interested in seeing the Cartwright siblings.

"Where's Cappie?" Casey asked Evan frantically but had seriousness in her tone.

"He's still in one of the rooms. The doctor hasn't come out yet. Besides, I'm waiting for Kate too." Evan replied.

"What happened to her?" Rusty asked.

"Lance raped her." He stood up. "I knew I should have stopped Lance sooner." He nearly shouted and started to pace a little.

"What do you mean?" Casey asked.

"Cappie and I were fighting him while Kate ran and he got out of our grasp at some point. He asked where she was and we said we didn't know. I took her cell phone because it has a GPS on it and that's how Lance found her before." Evan paused. "I have no idea how he found her when I had her phone."

"Unless he put a tracking device on her." Rusty commented. "But the question is...where?"

As they pondered the question, Kate stepped out of one of the hospital rooms. "Hi guys." She greeted.

Evan smiled, ran to her, and embraced her a little tightly. "Thank God you're ok. You had me worried sick." He released the embrace. "What did the doctor say?"

"Just a few scratches and they gave me some cream for...uhh...my lower area." She replied, as Evan was turning red. "I just needed a few bandages but I'll be okay." She smiled a little.

Casey and Rusty both embraced Kate. "How's Cappie?" Casey asked for a second time.

Kate frowned. "The doctor didn't come out yet?" She asked Evan. Evan shook his head. "I better go find a nurse." She walked up to the desk. "Umm excuse me?" she asked.

"Yes? Can I help you?" The nurse asked.

"I was wondering if my cousin was okay. His name is Cappie Welsh (I know that's not really his last name but it's just for my fan fictions.)."

"Ahh yes. You should be able to see him. He's in room 112. Only one visitor at a time though." She smiled.

Kate nodded. "Thank you." She walked back to the others. "We can see him but only one at a time." She said to Evan, Casey, and Rusty. "Do you want to see him first Casey? You are his girlfriend after all."

"I want you to go in first. You're his cousin. I'll just go in after you." Casey replied.

"Thanks Casey. I appreciate that." Kate then left and walked to room 112. She entered the small room that was all white. White floors, white beds (2 to be exact), a white chair next to Cappie's bed, and white blankets. Kate walked up to him cautiously. "Cappie?" she whispered. She sat on the chair next to his bed and took his hand. "I'm so sorry this happened to you." A tear developed in her eye. "I didn't mean for this to happen. Lance hurt you and it's all my fault."

Suddenly a familiar hand lightly squeezed hers. Kate looked and saw Cappie with his eyes half open. "It's not your fault Kate."

A few tears ran down her cheek. "Yes it is Cap. Lance hurt you pretty badly."

Soon the doctor walked in. "Hello Kate. I see this is your cousin Cappie."

"Is he okay Doctor Franklin?" she asked.

The doctor smiled at her. "Yes he will. He lost some blood from his shoulder but we're going to put a few stitches on it until it heals up a little. Other then that, just a few bruises. Nothing we can't fix. We can release him a couple of hours. We just need to put a few bandages on his shoulder to cover the blood for now. He'll only need to wear it for tonight then keep it off for a few hours then put a fresh bandage on it."

"What else doc?" Cappie asked.

"I recommend that you stay in bed tomorrow or try not to use your shoulder too much." Doctor Franklin replied then left the room.

Kate smiled at Cappie. "At least you're okay. By the way, Casey, Rusty, and Evan are here too. Casey wants to see you first."

Cappie smiled back. "Send her in. I bet she's freaking out right now."

Kate released his hand and left the room. She let everyone know what was going on and then Casey went in to see Cappie. Rusty stayed at the hospital while Kate and Evan left. They were walking towards Omega Chi. "Why didn't you want to see Cappie?" Kate asked as she took Evan's hand.

"I'll see him when he goes back to Kappa Tau. Besides, I'm sure Casey and Rusty want to see him more than I do." Evan replied. He kissed her cheek. "I think you need to have some rest. It's been a long day and so much happened today."

"Don't remind me." Kate said bitterly. When they arrived at Omega Chi, they went to his room and they were resting under the covers.

Evan ran a hand through her hair. "Lance is gone now. Cappie and I made sure of it. We sent him to some mental hospital very far away so he won't be out for the rest of his life."

"I doubt it'll be that long." She kissed his forehead. She had a frown on her face.

Evan took her in his arms. "It's over Kate. He's gone. Everything is okay now. You're safe."

Kate smiled at those words. I am safe. I never have to see him again. He may haunt me still but...I'm with the man I love and I have my cousin with me too. I have made new friends as well who will be there for me as I will be there for them. The question is...what am I going to do now? But all she had now was her soul mate. She smiled a little more and then fell asleep knowing that she was safe from Lance and all her fears.
