1 Chapter 2
Bosco arrives at his mothers bar, he parks the car and hurries inside.
(He sees Kaitlyn across the room and she's being hastled by a guy)
"Come here baby, I'm taking you home with me tonight." (the man said taking her by the hand and the waste)
"Hell no, get your hands off me." (she frees her hand and slaps him)
"Ouch, that's okay I like'em rough." (smiles and grabs her again)
(Bosco walks over to them and grabs the mans hand that was getting ready to slap Kaitlyn)
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"Well, you're not me so bug off."
(the man doesn't put his hand down so Bosco pulls his jacket back showing his gun and his badge)
"Like I said, I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"Fine, you're lucky little lady."
"What-ever! Pig." (her speak was slurred)
"Kaitlyn let's go." (as he helped her walk out the door)
"Where…..I don't wanna go."
"I'm taking you home. Bye ma, thanks."
"Bye Maurice, bye Kaitlyn. Be careful."
"Bye Angela, see ya………tomorrow!" (she yelled back, they stumbled out to his car and stood there, Kaitlyn refused to go anywhere)
"Where are you taking me?"
"I said I'm taking you home." (he struggled with her until she stopped and they were face to face in each others arms, she just looked into his eyes)
"You have beautiful eyes!"
"Thank you."
(she leaned in and kissed him, and Bosco pulled away)
"What?" (she asked)
"Not when you're like this."
"Fine." (she says as she pushes away from him and stands in the middle of the road)
"Kaitlyn, what's going on with you……..you're not like this……….you don't drink."
"Nothing, I'm fine. You obviously don't know me as well as you thought you did."
"No you're wrong, I do know you, and this is not you. Tell me what's wrong."
(she starts to cry)
"Kaitlyn, please tell me."
"About 4 years ago….i………uh……..i was in an accident. (pause) It was late, rainy, and the roads were almost empty, (pause) except for one other car besides mine. He….he came out of no where….and slammed into the passenger side of my car. (pause) I had my son with me. I got out…….and I tried……..to save him but……. he wasn't moving, he…he wasn't breathing. (she started to sob again) He died right there in my arms.
"Oh Kaitlyn, I'm so sorry." (he said as he embrassed her)
"He……he was only 8 months old…..he was so tiny."
"It's okay Kaitlyn, it wasn't your fault."
(they sat there for a few minutes)
"I wanna go home now."
"Okay, let's go."
(they got into Bosco's car and he drove her home, and as soon as they got there Bosco took Kaitlyn into her bedroom and sat her down on her bed)
"Here you go, lay down."
"Thanks but I'm gonna make some coffee." (she tried to stand back up but almost fell)
"Ah, no you don't you lay down, I'll make the coffee."
(she sat up on her bed while Bosco went into the kitchen and made her some coffee, she just sat there and stared out the window, she noticed that it had started to rain and her eyes started to tear. Bosco came back with two cups of coffee and sat down next to her on the bed. He handed her her coffee and looked at her, he had noticed that she had tears in her eyes.)
"The guy in the other car….the one that hit me, he…..he was drunk. That's why I don't drink. That's why I became a Medic."
"Why were you drinking tonight?"
"I guess I just snapped, I couldn't take it anymore. I've been thinking a lot about Dylan and that night. Ever since I went to Hagerty's that night with you and the gang."
"I'm sorry, If I would've known…."
"I know, it's not your fault…….it's mine. Inside I knew I couldn't handle it. I just wanted to see if I was able to have a normal life again……….(she laughs)……I guess not."
"You lost someone close to you, it's just going to take time."
"I know." (she closed her eyes, bosco knew she was getting tired)
"Why don't you lay down and get some sleep."
(she shook her head and slipped underneath her covers and started to fall asleep, Bosco tucked her in)
"Sweetdreams!" (he whispered and kissed her on her forhead)
"Bosco?"
"Yeah, I'm here."
"I really don't want to be alone right now."
"Alright, I'll be in the living room if you need me, okay."
"Okay." (her voice trailed off)
(Bosco left the bedroom and sat down at the couch, he noticed the huge mess on the coffee table in front of him.)
~What is this stuff?~ he thought to himself
(he looked at the pile of stuff and began to put it all back in the box next to the couch. As he was putting it all away a file fell from his grip. A punch of pictures and a police report fell from the file. He looked at the pictures and couldn't believe what he saw. They pictures were of Kaitlyn, with bruises and cuts all over her. He searched through them and found a police report and he skimmed through it. He stopped when he saw SPOUSAL ABUSE. He closed the file and put his head down.)
~Damn, why her?~ he thought
(he couldn't look at the pictures anymore so he closed the file. He couldn't believe it. He wondered what else was in the pile and found a picture of a little baby boy. Right away he knew it was Dylan. He was just as tiny as Kaitlyn had described, he could hardly imagine having something so small and innocent die in his arms. He knew it must have been hard for her. He dug through the pile some more, and he found a picture of a little girl. Kaitlyn never mentioned having a daughter. He looked at the back of the picture and it said, Alison Mills, Age 1 ½. He didn't know what to think so he set it aside. He also found a baby blanket with Dylan's name and birthday sewn on it. He read the info, it said…..)
Dylan Michael Mills
6-16-98
18 in.
6 lbs. 8 oz.
(Bosco looked up and walked towards Kaitlyn's desk where she had a calendar. He looked at todays date and realized that 3 days from then, Dylan would've turned 4 years old. He finally realized what made her snap earlier. After thinking about it for an hour he put everything back in the box except Dylan's picture, Alison's picture, and the file with her name on it. And fell asleep on the couch.)
