Chapter Three:Lives Cut Short

It's been about a week since the funeral. Canan was in school back in California, since she was transferred to, the day before the funeral. Cat hadn't talked since she said goodbye to Canan. Cat never sleeps, barely eats, and didn't go to work. Though her work was nice and gave her a month off. When Bradin wasn't forcing her to do anything Cat would sit on David's bed starring off into the distance.

Bradin came home from work, to find his wife there. She was getting even thinner and she lookedsick.

"Honey." Bradin said as he walked into the room.

Cat looked at him, but only for a second then back at the floor.

"Why wont you talk to me?" Bradin asked

Silence.

"Please, don't leave me out in the cold. Tell me what is wrong." Bradin said as he sat down next to Cat on the bed. Ther e had to be another reason she was so quiet, even if she lost her son she should be this bad Bradin thought.

"I found him here." Cat said, her voice barley above a whisper. "He was raped, Bradin." Cat said

"What?" Bradin asked, looking at his wife in surprise.

"I found him with his pants down. He looked so scared. I couldn't stop the man." Cat said

"Who?" Bradin asked

"I don't know, I didn't see a face. He had a mask on. His friend wouldn't let me go. I couldn't get to my son." Cat said (it brings back memories from her stepfather, that is what scared her the most, if you didn't catch that)

"I thought you said he was gone by the time you got home."

"He wasn't, he told me it I said otherwise he would come back for Canan, I couldn't do that to her." Cat said

"So you kept it a secret?"

"I had to, until I know Canan was safe." Cat said. "That and I think I know who it was."

"Who?" Bradin asked

"My step-fathers friends." Cat said as she looked Bradin in the eyes.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Their voices aren't something I will be able to forget anytime soon." Cat said

"Are you going to tell the cops?"

"Tomorrow." Cat said

"Maybe you'd better get some sleep." Bradin said

"I cannot. Every time I close my eyes, I see Dave with that look on his face. I cannot get it out of my mind." Cat said she didn't want her children to go through what she had gone through.

Bradin and Cat sat in David's room until the next day. Cat went to the cops and told them what happened and whom she thinks did it.

The cops found the two men staying at a hotel in town. They found the clothes that Cat had told the cop's that they were wearing and the masks. They took a seamen sample and checked it to the ones they had found on David they had left it out of the newspapers, since Cat had asked them too. That and they didn't tell anyone else, even Bradin, It matched. The two men were put in jail, and convicted of Rape and murder, (in some degree I don't know which degree it would be). During the school year Cat and Bradin bought his old house and moved in. They picked up Canan and let her pick her room, the other two rooms, the guest room, and one room for the memory of David. (they had Bradin's parents room. Canan had Bradin's old room, David's room was derricks, and Nikki's old room was the guest room.

Cat and Bradin didn't have any more kids. Eventually Cat was back to normal. She of course had to go through therapy, to help her through, though she was opposed to it. Though every now and then, especially on the day David dies she cannot sleep.

Canan grew up and became a singer (don't ask why, I just want her to be, no idea why.) She married her long time boyfriend Scott.

Ian and Derrick went to college and became business managers. Susannah and Ava started up their clothing line again and have become famous. Johnny and Ava have a kid name David in memory of the first David

Jay is surfing again. Erika made him. They have 2 kids, Julie, and Jack (don't ask i was have problems think of a name when i wrote this).

Susannah and her beach man are married with no kids.

Nikki and Cameron finally got married and have three kids, named Robert, Alison, and Lori.

Years go bye, and they live happily until there is a car accident. Bradin and Cat were on their way to visit Ava and Johnny. Canan was already there. A semi-truck came plowing right in to them. Cat died shortly after she arrived at the hospital. She was an organ donor and strangely both her and Bradin were the same blood type. About a month after the surgery, Bradin was released from the hospital. Bradin had some of Cat's vital organs so technically she wasn't dead. But nobody expected what was going to happen next. About a month after being released from the hospital, Bradin's heart stopped beating and on Cat's birthday, the day David died.

The rest of the group slowly got over the death of the two people they loved, and slowly got back to work. Nobody would have guessed how much pain Cat had felt the day David died. Bradin had found out. Cat's heart still somehow knew what day it was and had caused Bradin so much pain that it killed him. (okay so he got Cat's heart she had a bad head injury that caused her to die. i was trying to be sentamental, with the way Bradin dead, yeah there you go)

End of Story

I will not be writing anymore of this story, I know it was horrible how I ended it, but since I don't like leaving my main characters alive forever or until they are old and gray, since I have no patience. I had to kill them off. You should see the stories I wrote from my American History class, they never ended happy, even when I had a happy ending, I had two sad endings for it. I think my teacher was about to have me talk to someone about my stories. Sorry it you didn't like my ending. I like to kill people off I think,. Have a great year, and maybe I will write a different story for you people. but it isn't a promise

i wrote this almost a year ago, i looked it over, and found what i could. sorry if you don't like it, sorry if it ends bad, but that is how most of my stories end. hope you enjoyed some parts of it, since i did have fun writing it up and posting again. it lightens my mood and makes me smile, and i really need to be smiling right now.
