CHAPTER 10: BAM: "Are you Ville's only family?" I had to hold Kat up; she was so distraught. I didn't really know what to do. I sat her down where we were before and asked the doctor if there was somewhere we could talk alone. We went into an empty conference room. The doctor sat across from me at the table, his paperwork opened in front of him. "Are you Ville's only family?" "No, his parents are in Hungary." "Well, can you get in touch with them?" "I can try. Listen, is he okay or what?" "He was beaten pretty badly. Whoever did this didn't want him to live through it." "What does that mean?" "He just got out of surgery. He has a few broken ribs, some stitches in his head, a concussion and a broken leg. Aside from all that and some bruises, he is okay." "So he'll be fine, then?" What a relief. "Yes. But do you have any idea who did this?" Just then, Kat burst into the room. She looked pretty awful. Her makeup was running down her face and her clothes were wrinkled from sitting in the floor for hours. "Is he okay?" "Yeah, he'll be fine." I assured her. "But do you know who did it?" "I have an idea." Kat said. "Can I see him?" "Sure." the doctor replied. "But I need Bam to stay here. Ville is room 201." I watched Kat leave and knew she would want revenge on whoever she thought did this to Ville. So did I. KAT: I walked into Ville's room and saw him lying on the hospital bed. He was bruised pretty badly. I walked over to him and saw that he had a little line of stitches on his upper left forehead and a cast on his right leg. His eyes were closed, but I wasn't sure if he was asleep. I sat down and took his hand in mine. He squeezed my hand slightly and I nearly started crying again with relief. Taking a deep breath, I lightly ran my fingers through his hair. He opened his eyes. I stared into those deep green eyes and Ville smiled a little. "Come on." Ville scooted over in the bed and I climbed in beside him. We fell asleep like this, forgetting for the moment that we weren't the only two people in the world.
