Chapter 50- Times Up
Things were awkward for Kaitlyn after she overheard Punk's conversation on the phone. She knew that she shouldn't jump to conclusions without any proof, but to hear, it sounded like Punk confessed to whoever it was on the phone that he caused the accident, he tried to kill her father. So this thought alone made Kaitlyn stomach a smile when she saw Punk. She didn't know what to do. Should she tell Punk that she knows what he did, should she tell AJ or should she let Punk tell her? Most importantly, should she tell the cops what she knows? Just thinking about all her options made her head hurt.
She started to rub her head when she heard AJ ask, "Are you okay Kaitlyn?"
Kaitlyn's head shot up, "Huh, what?"
"I asked if you were okay," AJ told her.
"Ya I'm fine," she lied. "I just have a headache, that's all."
"I would give you something to help it, but Punk doesn't have anything here," AJ gave her an apologetic smile.
They were currently at Punk's house waiting for him to get ready. Today was the day that AJ's dad was scheduled to have surgery. So being at Punk's house for Kaitlyn was really weird. She kept checking things out to see if she could find any evidence to confirm her suspicions. A few minutes later, he finally came into the living room.
"You guys ready to go?" he asked them as he put on his blue hoodie.
AJ jumped off the couch, "Yep, all ready to go." She walked over to him and kissed him.
They all walked towards the door and Punk opened the door for them, "Ladies." AJ smiled and walked past him, while Kaitlyn shoulder bumped him when she walked past. This moved confused him, what did he do to her?
They got into the truck and drove to the hospital. On the way there, AJ noticed that there was a lot of tension in there. Kaitlyn had been acting weird since yesterday and Punk had been acting weird all week.
Kaitlyn was too busy to notice that AJ was staring at her. But when she stared at Punk, he noticed right away. "Why do you keep staring at me?" he asked her.
"Because you seem tense, is everything okay with you?" she asked him.
"I'm fine Princess," he told her. He heard Kaitlyn snort a little, but he ignored her. "Besides, shouldn't I be asking you that? How are you doing, are you nervous?"
"A little bit," she told him. "I hope my dad will be okay."
Punk brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it. "He will be Princess. Your father is the strongest man that I know."
AJ smiled at him and looked out her window. Punk looked into the rearview mirror and saw Kaitlyn giving him a dirty look. He still didn't know what her problem was.
When they got to the hospital, they all got out of the truck and went in. When they got to Robert's hospital room, Punk let AJ go in first before he grabbed Kaitlyn's arms, "I want to talk to you." He pulled her around the corner for some privacy.
"What the hell do you want?" she asked him as she pulled her arm away from him.
"I want to know what your problem is?" he told her. He wanted to know why she was all prissy all of a sudden.
"I think you know what my problem is," she hissed at him.
Punk was tired of her attitude. "No, I don't, so tell me," he raised his voice to her.
"I'm taking about your little secret," she shouted back.
He was stunned, "W…what secret?" She couldn't have known, could she?
"Don't play dumb Punk," she told him. "You know exactly what secret I'm talking about, the one that you can't tell AJ about. I heard you on the phone yesterday."
Okay that's good, she doesn't exactly know anything. She only heard bits and pieces of his conversation. He got into her face and in a threatening tone said, "You have no idea what you're talking about, so I suggest you shut your mouth."
Kaitlyn was about to retort when AJ came around the corner, "There you guys are, what are you still doing out here?"
"We thought we would give you a few minutes alone with your family," Punk told her. "Didn't we Kaitlyn?"
"Yes that's right," she smiled. "We didn't know if you wanted us in there with you."
"Of course I want you in there with me," she told them. "I consider you two my family."
Those words hurt Punk and Kaitlyn. Here they were keeping secrets from her and AJ trusted them like family. They were both pitiful. She would hate them if she knew the truth.
"You're our family too Princess," Punk said taking her into his arms. While he was hugging her, he was giving Kaitlyn an "I'm going to kill you if you tell her" look.
When AJ and Punk broke apart, she said, "Come on let's all go in and see my dad." She took Punk's hand and led them into the room with Kaitlyn behind them.
"What's he doing here?" Mike said when they entered the room.
AJ rolled her eyes and said, "He's here, because I want him here and I know that dad would want him here too."
Mike muttered, "Whatever," and looked out the window.
"Hello Elizabeth," Punk told her as he walked up and gave her a hug. "How are you doing?"
"Hello to you too Phil," she hugged him back. "I'm doing okay, just praying that this surgery will go well."
Punk squeezed her hand gently, "Me too."
They all sat there talking for some time waiting for the doctors to come in. As they sat there, they were all thinking about a bunch of what ifs. Mike, Elizabeth and AJ were all thinking, what if Robert doesn't make it? Kaitlyn was thinking, what if she told AJ about what she overheard. And Punk was thinking, what if AJ hates him when he told her his secret? He couldn't lose her.
Finally after some waiting, the doctors came in and took Mr. Mendez to surgery. They all bid their farewells and went into the waiting room to wait. "So mom," Mike said some time later. "Did you hear anything from the cops yet?"
Everyone's head shot up and they all looked at her. "No nothing yet," she told them. "I still can't believe that someone caused his accident."
Kaitlyn shot Punk a look. "What?" he mouthed to her.
"Tell her," she mouthed back. He just shook his head and went back to listening to the conversation at hand.
"It's horrible," AJ said with tears in her eyes. "Can you think of anyone who would want to hurt him?"
Elizabeth thought for a second and said, "No sweetheart, I don't."
They both started to cry again and Mike and Punk did their best to comfort them. "Hey Princess don't cry," Punk said to AJ. "I'm sure the police are going to catch the asshole that hurt your dad real soon." Mike snorted and Punk said, "What Mike?"
"Nothing," he told him. "I just think that it's funny how you claim to be a gentleman, but yet you cuss in front of women. Kind of hypocritical isn't it?"
"Mike stop," AJ said. She didn't want there to be a fight.
"What?" Mike shrugged. "I'm just stating the obvious."
"Ya and hitting women is gentleman like too, huh Mike. I bet you know a lot about that," Punk retorted.
"What are you getting at?" Mike said standing up.
Punk stood up too and got into Mike's face, "I'm talking about you hitting April, you son of a bitch!"
"I've never hit my sister!" Mike defended himself.
"Oh ya, then how come every time you and her fight, she always ends up with a mark or a bruise on her?"
"Maybe you did it. I mean you are a big MMA fighter, you can hurt her so easily."
"I'm gonna kill you, you son of a bitch! I'd never hurt April," Punk said as he pounced on Mike.
The two began fighting and security was quickly called. "Alright break it up," they yelled as they tried to pull them apart. The girls were shouting too trying to get them to stop fighting. Finally the security guards were able to pull them apart. "You guys are going to have to leave or the cops are going to be called."
"But my father is having surgery right now," Mike told them.
"Is it your father too?" they asked Punk.
"No, I'm here with my girlfriend," he told them holding onto was in his arms.
"Then you're going to have to leave," one of the security guards said.
"What no," AJ cried out as she wrapped her arms around him tighter. "You don't understand, I need him here."
"I'm sorry miss, but it's the rules."
Punk decided to step in, "It's okay Princess, it's my fault. I shouldn't have started the fight. Besides you need to be here with your family, I don't if it's going to cause problems." He placed a kiss on her lips and said "I love you," before he followed the security guards out the door.
Once they were gone, AJ jumped at Mike, "I hate you. Why do you have to be so rude?" Kaitlyn had to hold her back.
"That's enough all of you," Elizabeth snapped. "Today is supposed to be about your father, not you. Now I'm going to take Mike to get cleaned up and when we get back, we are going to act like a family and went for the doctor to come out."
As soon as they left, AJ broke down crying and Kaitlyn tried to comfort her. "Don't cry AJ, everything is going to be okay."
"I don't understand why Mike can't accept Phil. He is wonderful guy," she cried.
Kaitlyn couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't sit there and listen to AJ cry over a guy who wasn't good for her. "AJ, there is something that I have to tell you. It's about Punk?"
"What is it?" AJ asked with a tear filled face.
"I…I…I don't know how to tell you this, but I…I…think Punk caused your father's accident," she managed to get out.
AJ titled her head to the side, "W…what do you mean?" She had no clue what Kaitlyn was talking about.
Kaitlyn took a deep breath and said, "I heard him on the phone yesterday. He kept talking about a secret that he couldn't tell you, then he said he was freaking out, because the cops were at your house."
AJ was trying to process what she was hearing. "But you don't know that are sure thought right?"
"No but…" Kaitlyn was cut off.
"Then you don't know anything," AJ snapped at her. How dare Kaitlyn accuse Phil of doing something so bad. "You don't know Phil like I do Kaitlyn. Phil is the kindest man in the world. He would never to that to my dad and me. He loves me and will never hurt me like that."
"AJ please just listen," Kaitlyn pleaded with her.
AJ was about to slap Kaitlyn when the doctor came out, "Robert Mendez's family?"
Meanwhile….
Punk was furious that he got thrown out of the hospital when AJ needed him the most. He was so stupid. He should have controlled his anger, because his anger always got him in trouble. Not to mention that he was still pissed at Kaitlyn sticking her nose where it didn't belong. Who was she to get into his business. He walked towards the parking lot trying to find his truck. It was dark outside and the parking lot was dimly lit. As he was looking, his phone beeped. He took it out and read the text message that he just received.
-Time's up
Punk was confused by the text. "Time's up?" he said to himself and when he looked up, he was something fly towards his face. The next thing that he knew, he was on the ground with 5 masked men around him.
"Times up Punky," one of the men said before they all started to attack Punk. Punk tried his best to protect himself, but it was too much. He was taking hits to the face and kicks to the stomach. Every time he got up, they would knock him down. "Stay down you bitch!" another one of the guys shouted at him. Punk tried to look around for help, but he saw no one around. He managed to get up to one knee, before he felt something hit him in the back and then in front of his left shoulder. He cried out in pain as he felt hit shoulder pop out of place. He looked up and saw that one of the guys had a bat. Punk turned on his stomach and tried to crawl way when on the guys grabbed his head. "You should have did what you were told bitch," the man whispered into Punk's ear. Punk spit out blood and said, "Fuck you." Before he had any time to react, he went the payment smash against his head. The only thing he heard was them laugh before the darkness consumed him.
Oh no Punk, I hope that he is alright and I can't believe that Kaitlyn told AJ. Was it the right thing to do? Again, Mike is an asshole. Tune in to the next chapter as something shocking happens.
