Only Hope--"Safety...Right??"

Jay was going fine until he heard police sirens. He swiveled his head to face Kara, who looked scared and satisfied at the same time. "You little bitch! You called them, didn't you!" He screamed and pushed her head against the door of the car.

She wanted to say something sarcastically back, but she was to scared, from the look on his face. The police began to surround Jay's car, so he took a drastic chance.

Kara saw what he was going to do and tried to protest. "NO! Jay!" She screamed. He swirled the car around the cars and continued going at full speed. She begged for him to stop, but he just smacked her. Her eyes opened in terror as she saw the tree.

Just as they were about to hit it front-on, Jay turned the car, causing Kara's side to slam into the tree. And her world went black.

**At the hospital**

TC paced the halls nervously, waiting to hear the condition of Kara. Jay was in custody, for child abuse, child endangerment, and attemped manslaughter. Attemped murder, more like it.

A doctor walked up to him and Chris, who was clutching Cody and holding TC's hand, also. "Are you Mr. Callaway?" he asked. TC nodded anxiously. "How is she? How's my sister?" he persisted.

The doctor smiled. "Better then we thought. She has a lot of resiliance." he said and continued, "she suffered a minor concussion, but nothing a few days of bedrest won't fiix. And, a few scratches and bruises. But the major things are a broken rib from where she hit the dashboard and a broken arm, from God knows what."

TC silently thanked God. "Thank you, Doctor." he said and the doctor left.

TC smiled at Chris and hugged her tightly. "She's going to be okay..." he said happily.
