Chapter Ten - The Unexpected
Caitie lazily got her books out of her bag and sprawled on her bed, radio on, blaring out her favourite tune. She sung along as she struggled over her maths homework.
"Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way your acting like your somebody else gets me frustrated, 'Coz life's like this you...."
"Because I love you." Caitie looked up. That wasn't Jamie's voice. Sitting on her window ledge was an eighteen year old male, with short, jet black hair, and green eyes. He gave her a lopsided grin.
"Guess you didn't expect to see me again, did you my sweet?" He advanced towards her.
"No, get away from me!!!" she screamed "Mum, Dad, anyone, help me!!!!" She jumped off the bed, and ran to her door, but it was locked.
"No-one can help you now. It's just me and you." He gave an evil laugh and pinned her against the door.
"You know I love you Caitie, why fight it?" he leaned in close to her, breathing in her scent. She ducked under his arm and ran to the window, hauling herself on the ledge when she got there.
"Come anywhere near me and I'll jump, I swear." she hissed. He took one step towards her, and she launched herself into space. She could feel the breeze rushing past her face, ruffling her hair. She saw herself falling, falling, falling. As she looked up to where she had departed from, she saw his face, looking out of the window in horror. 'Good,' she thought, 'now maybe he'll realise that when I said I'd rather die than be near him again, I actually meant it.' She hit the ground with a thud, and all went black.

"Whats the details of the call?" Hank spoke into the radio, and stained to hear the crackled reply
"Young white female....concussion....possible broken bones.....seems to have fallen from a great height......" Jamie cut off the radio by talking to Tyler.
"I hate to say it, but I have this horrible feeling that it's Caitie." he whispered
"I doubt it man. Caitie's not stupid. She wouldn't jump out of a window or anything."
"Sorry, can you repeat the location again please?" Hank gave a look to the two males in the back. The reply came quickly, and made Jamie's heart skip a beat.
"Heathen Drive. Over."
"Received, over." Hank put the hand set down.
"Oh, yeah, how sure are you that it's not Caitie now? Thats the road that she lives in."
***
Caitie woke, dazed. The last thing she remembered was jumping out of the window. She looked around. Her head was spinning. She checked herself to see if there were any broken bones. She lay back down again, to wait for the spinning to stop.
"Ow!!" As she put her head back down, something sharp dug into the back of her head. She turned slowly, trying not to make her head worse. The table beside her bed. Her surroundings slowly came into focus. She was still in her room, and on her bed were her books.
"Ah, must of fallen asleep. Mental note - do not go walking with Jamie until four o'clock in the morning, then attempt homework. Not a good plan." She sat up, then slowly stood and heaved herself back onto the bed. She opened the bottom drawer of the table, and pulled out a small photo frame.
"So, you thought you'd come back into my life again did you? Well, I never want to see you again, and you will never be welcomed into my life again. You got everything you deserved." She spat at the male in the picture, then hastily put it in the rubbish, before turning back to her books and once again trying to get on with her maths homework.
***
The four arrived on the scene in record time, due to Jamie's insistence of Hank to 'put his foot down'. They hurried to the accident. They saw a hysterical mother crying, and a little girl sprawled on the floor.
"She fell out of the tree - someone please help my poor baby..."
"That really looks like Caitie - unless she's become a forth grader again!!" Tyler uttered, thinking no-one would hear him. While Jamie and Hank went to the child, Val slapped Tyler on the arm.
"Ouch! What was that for?"
"For your not-so-wise crack about Caitie being a forth grader. Next time keep your opinions to yourself."
"But I only said....."
"I know what you said Tyler, you seem to forget that Caitie was my best friend long before she was Jamie's girlfriend, and just because you don't like him that much, doesn't mean you have the right to insult her." This was all said very quickly, and Val grabbed defibrillator and stormed off to the little girl.
"Well," Tyler commented, "That was unexpected." He rubbed his arm for a bit, before getting the back board and walking over the where she lay.
"Val.."
"Tyler, concentrate on the job. Put the little girl on the back board, then take her over to the ambulance with Jamie." Val snapped. She continued to comfort the mother.
"It's all right Mrs Salamander, your little girl's going to be alright. Yes, you can ride with her in the back of the ambulance. Yes, she has hurt herself, but it's not very major." The little girl, who's name was Lola, came round, and was sent off to the hospital, with an angry Val and a bewildered Tyler, along with a relieved Jamie and a concerned Hank.
***
"Ooooooh!!! I give up!!!" Caitie slammed her maths textbook shut. "I'm going out." She said to no-one in particular. Her eye fell on the picture of the black haired, green eyed male in the waste paper basket.
"Better take the trash out." She went to pick the bin up, but her eye fell on a piece of paper that had just floated into her room, through the open window. She shut it rapidly, and pulled the blind down in almost one movement. She picked the paper up. It read
My Darling Caitie,
I know that you probably hate me, and you have every right to do so, but I need to talk to you. Meet me at the cherry tree in the park where we shared our first kiss at 4:00. I know you'll be there.

She screwed the paper up into a little ball and put it in the waste bin. Then she thought better of it and took it out, along with the photo.
"No, I won't - but I know someone who will." Caitie ran out of her bedroom, down the stairs and out of the door, grabbing her coat on the way and stuffing the two items in her pocket.
"Kingsport EMS station, here I come."
