Kaitlin sat in her mother's hospital room along with her sister who had her head on the bed as she slept. She sighed and ran her hands through her hair. She was really confused about everything going on. She was stupid to fake her death. But, she knew that she had to do it. She didn't mean to hurt anyone. She just wanted to be safe. A hand touched her shoulder making her look back. Bradin was there. He knelt down beside her.
"It seemed like your mother really did miss you this past year," he told her, "She played a sad woman very well."
She looked back at the bed at her mother.
"Why don't you look me in the eye anymore?" he asked.
"Because I can't," she said, "not after what I did."
He placed his hand on her cheek and turned her head so she was looking at him. He leaned in to kiss her when her phone went off. He groaned and watched as she looked at her phone.
"Can you keep an eye on my mother and sister?" she asked.
"Yeah."
"Thanks," she said getting up.
"Kait, where are you going?" he asked.
"It doesn't matter," she said running out of the room.
MANY HOURS LATER
Bradin stayed with Kaitlin's mom and sister for hours and she never called or even dropped by to say how long she was going to be. He tried calling her several times to find her phone off.
"Bradin!" Sean yelled running into the room.
"What happened to you?" Bradin asked noticing blood on his clothes.
"Come out here," Sean said.
Bradin got up and followed Sean out of the room. Sean led Bradin up to a bed that was being taken into the emergency room.
"Kaitlin!" Bradin yelled running up to the bed. A doctor moved him away from the bed so they could try to save her. "Kaitlin!" he yelled as he tried to break through of the grip that was now Sean's. Tears were in his eyes. "What happened?" he asked looking at Sean.
EARLIER
Sean was walking through town on his way to see how Bradin, Kaitlin, and Lauren were at the hospital. As he walked near a building, he heard someone scream. He stopped in front of the building and looked inside. He saw a big figure getting ready to attack another one that was on the ground. He ran inside to find that it was Kaitlin's father standing over her.
"Hey!" Sean yelled. Her father looked and grinned.
"Another soul to kill," he said walking towards Sean who stepped back every time her father stepped forward.
Sean gulped as he felt the wall against his back. He saw her father raise his hand and make it into a fist.
"Bitch!" Kaitlin yelled jumping on her father's back. He grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder onto the floor.
Sean saw her father take a knife and raise it above Kaitlin. He stabbed her. Before he got to her chest area, she moved and got the knife in her arm. He ran and tried to stop her father from killing her. He grabbed her father's wrist and fought with him making the knife fall from his hand and land somewhere on the floor. He got Kaitlin's father down to the ground. He ran up to Kaitlin.
"Kait," he said, "Kait. It's Sean."
She was in terrible shape. She had cuts all over her body as well as bruises and of course blood. She had a stab wound to her arm.
PRESENT
"No," Bradin said, "Where's her father?"
"The police got him," Sean said.
"Will she live?"
"Yes," a doctor said walking up to them, "The wounds, besides the wound on her arm, should heal very quickly."
"Can we see her?" Bradin asked.
"Not yet. She's getting stitches in her arm to seal the cut. I will come and get you once she's in her room."
Bradin paced around Kaitlin's other's room for almost an hour. He really wanted to see Kaitlin and how she was doing.
"Bradin, sit down," Lauren said.
"You are not waiting to ask someone you love something very important," he said looking at her.
"What are you going to ask her?" Sean asked.
