Chapter Eleven : The Blame Game

"Is this your sister?" The police officer said, catching up with them. Jake nodded, unable to speak. The three turned away from Kim's body. They'd seen enough.

"We're taking her to the hospital now." A paramedic told the officer. "The kids can come with us."

The officer nodded. "Kids, get into the ambulance, you can ring your parents when you get there."

Mike nodded. Jessica and Jake weren't reacting. They got into the ambulance, looking anywhere but Kim's body.

They rushed into the hospital. Jake got out his cell phone. "Yeah, Mom. We've found Kim. No, Mom, it isn't great. She's been stabbed. Okay, bye." He muttered, his voice cracking. "What did she say?" Mike asked as Jake put the cell phone in his pocket. "She told me to stay calm, and her and Dad are on their way. They could be a while, they had only just left Midland. You okay, Jessica?"

Jessica was staring into space. "Jessica?" Jake repeated. "It's my fault." She said. "No, Jessie, it's not." Jake said.

"It is. What if Kim dies, Jake? It'll all be my fault. And, she'll die thinking I hated her." Tears began to fall freely from her eyes. "Anyway of us could have tried to stop her from running away, Jessica. It's not your fault." Jake put his arm around her shoulders. "Yeah, um… maybe it was my fault for not teaching her to repel from the roof!" Mike said, patting Jessica's hand. "What?" Jake asked, turning to Mike. Mike shrugged. "Just tryin' to help."

Jake smirked. "Not a good attempt. But honestly, Jess, you couldn't have done anything to stop this."

Jessica nodded. "But you know that I could have. I was the only one out of us all being horrible to her, it wasn't anyone else's fault." She couldn't continue, she was crying to hard. "That's crazy." Jake told her, and pulled her into a hug. Mike wandered off, and came back with some water. "Here." He said gently, handing the cup to Jessica. "Thanks." She replied. "I'm just gonna ring Lorraine and Nora and everyone, and tell them to come to the hospital." Jake told them, leaving Mike and Jessica in silence. "So………… whassup?" Mike asked awkwardly. Jessica shrugged. "Sister's in hospital, you?" Mike smiled at her. "Same." He replied.

After what seemed like a few months later, Jake returned. "Nora said she'll be here in five minutes, Lorraine, Charlie and Sarah said they'd be here in ten. I think Mom and Dad are gonna be like, twenty minutes though." Jake sighed, slumping down into his seat. Minutes later, Nora and Henry arrived, one holding Nigel, the other holding Kyle. "Oh my gosh! Are you three okay?" Nora asked, kissing each of them on the forehead. Jessica nodded. "Yeah, we're fine Nora."

"What room is Kim in?" Nora questioned, looking around in a panicked manner. "We dunno, they just took her through those double doors." Jake shrugged, and pointed towards some doors. "I'll be right back." Nora said, before storming through the doors. She returned seconds later. "Unless I want to be removed fro the hospital, apparently I must stay in the waiting room until further notice." She sighed, before sitting in the seat next to Henry. "What's going on, Nora?" Nigel asked sleepily. "Um, Kimmy's hurt, sweetie." Nora replied, not wanting to go into full detail.

Charlie, Lorraine, and Sarah burst through the doors. "Guys!" Lorraine shouted when she spotted them. "Are we allowed to see her yet?" Jake shook his head. "Good job on finding her, dude." Sarah said to Mike sarcastically. "Shut up Sarah, at least we found her!" Mike replied, shoving her. "Hey, don't start a brawl in the hospital." Charlie laughed, pulling Mike away from Sarah. "How did you find her? Where was she?" Lorraine asked Jake, nervously. "She was outside the Museum." Jake replied, too worried about Kim to go into details. "Who stabbed her?" It was Lorraine yet again. "I don't know, Lorraine. I'm not a detective!" Jake said, annoyed. That shut her up.

Mike woke up with a crash. He looked around to see many faces sniggering at him. "Mike, sweetie, you fell off your seat." Kate said, trying not to laugh, before lifting him back onto it. "Was I dreaming? Is Kim okay?" Mike asked. Kate looked at him sadly. "No honey, you fell asleep." Mike looked around to see Kyle and Nigel asleep on one chair, Jake snoozing in another corner, and Mark on Nora's lap. "Who did Mark go with?" He thought aloud. "He was with me and your father, didn't you know that, sweetie?" Kate asked. Mike shook his head, and shut his eyes. Everything felt strange to him, he just wanted to see Kim and know that she was okay.

"Mike, wake up." Tom muttered, shaking him. Mike finally opened his eyes. "What?" He asked grumpily. "You can see Kim!" Tom replied, smiling. Mike shot up. "It's only three visitors at a time, but we thought we'd let you, Jake and Jessica go first, seeing as you were the ones who found Kim." Kate smiled. They walked towards the room. Jessica grasped Jake's hand as they approached the door. They walked in, and gathered around her bed.

She looked… peaceful. Apart from a few cuts on her head, you would think that she was fine. Kim opened her eyes, and smiled when she saw them. "Kim!" Mike shouted, before giving her a hug. Kim smiled weakly. "I knew you'd be okay, Kim. You're a little soldier." Jake smiled as he hugged her. Jessica just stared at her, nervously. "Jessie?" Kim asked warily, worried that Jessica still hated her. "Kim!" Jessica grinned, before rushing up to her and hugging her. "I'm sorry. This is all my fault!" Jessica told her. Kim just smiled. "I'm responsible for my own actions, Jess."

"Why can't you just be mad at me? That's what I deserve. I blamed you when we found out that you were adopted, and it's wasn't even your fault. Please, just blame me." Jessica cried.

She felt that she didn't deserve Kim's forgiveness.

But regardless, she had got it……. Or had she?
