Chapter 3
NPOV
Kayla walked down to the half-pipe to see Skye and Will snowboarding. She clenched her jaw, unsure if she should snowboard. She hid behind the wall of the half pipe and watched. They would fall and laugh, and do some amazing tricks. Jealousy was burning in her heart, but she ignored it as she kept on watching. After thirty minutes, her legs cramped up. She winced as she moved them, to get the blood moving in them again. She then heard laughter and looked up. They were standing on the flat, laughing.
"That was some weird fall!" Will laughed.
"Shut up! You've done it before!" Skye joined in.
"Did not!"
She smacked him lightly on the shoulder before looking at him in the eyes. Will stared at her, wondering what she was doing. Before they knew it, they were kissing. Kayla wanted to scream at him, smack him, and most of all, run. And so she did, she ran away leaving her snowboard on the ground, forgotten. Tears stained her face as she ran back to her house. Once she got in, she slammed the door and broke down. She sobbed loudly, her heart shattered. She heard someone run in and looked up to see her father.
"Dad?" she asked.
"Came home to get some clothes for your mother and to wash up…what happened? Are you okay?" he asked, concerned.
She sniffed, "Fine. Just…going to bed." She whispered.
She ran upstairs and closed her door, locking it. She threw herself onto her bed and sobbed loudly into her pillow. Her father wanted to go and comfort her, but felt like she needed to calm down. So he decided he would drop off his wife's clothes and then come back to make sure she was fine.
He dialed his wife's number and waited for an answer.
"Hello?" his wife answered.
"Hey, I'm going to drop off your clothes and then come home. Kayla is sobbing upstairs, and I don't know why." He said.
"Oh my gosh! I hope she's okay, you stay home. I can wait for my clothes tomorrow. Or actually, my sister can come and pick them up. I don't want Kayla staying there alone." She exclaimed.
"Alright, are you sure?"
"Yes, you need a break anyway. I'm fine, Hayden is fine, just rest and be there for Kayla."
"Okay, love you, bye."
"Love you too, and tell Kayla I love her, and bye!"
After he hung up he walked upstairs and knocked on his daughter's door. "Kayla? Can I come in?"
"Sure." She said.
He heard the door unlock and opened it. Kayla walked back to her bed and sat on it, staring at her hands. He sat beside her and wrapped an arm around her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Will and Skye…th-they kissed." She whispered.
"What?" he gasped.
"They kissed…she stole him from me…"
"Honey, I'm sure he got caught up in the moment. I did it before in front of your mother by accident. But she forgave me, because she loved me. And I did truly love her, if I didn't I wouldn't have married her! And I wouldn't have you as a daughter!"
"I know, but…it hurts."
"I know, I hurt your mother badly by doing that. But there are going to be bumps in a relationship, and if you guys can get through that then you're truly meant for each other."
"Thanks dad." Kayla said, smiling a little.
He hugged her, "Anything for my baby girl."
She returned the hug before grabbing a pair of pj's. "I'm going to go to bed."
"Alright, I'm going to bed too. Well after your aunt picks up your mother's clothes. And your mom says she loves you."
"Love her too."
He walked out and closed the door, before walking back downstairs.
Kayla got dressed and then lied down in her bed, pondering on her father's words. Her heart was took broken to consider forgiving him, so she didn't do anything. She just turned off her light and went to sleep.
Will said goodbye to Skye before grabbing his snowboard. He was walking out of the half pipe when he spotted something. He walked over and picked up the snowboard. He gasped when he realized who it belonged to. He ran to Hot Doggers and grabbed his cell.
He dialed her number and called. After four times, he texted her. Saying sorry, and hoping she didn't see that kiss. He didn't mean to, he just got caught up in the moment. He sat down and sighed, holding the bridge of his nose.
"She's going to hate me." He whispered.
~Next Morning~
Kayla woke up to see four missed calls and one text message. All four calls were from Will and so was the message. She opened it and read it.
"Hey, Kay. I'm really sorry, I was such a jerk to you. I shouldn't have yelled at you, and should have ran after you when you walked out. I wasn't thinking. There is nothing going on between me and Skye. "
Angered she texted back, "Then what was that kiss last night? Huh? Just caught up in the moment? You know, you hurt me way worse than Nick ever did. I was better off with him!"
She sent it and threw the phone on her bed. She then broke down in tears again, not wanting to go to school. So, she got back into bed and went to sleep leaving a note on her door telling her father she wasn't feeling well today.
Sure enough, her father got the note and didn't bother her. He only peeked in to make sure she was fine. After he was sure, he grabbed his car keys and left a note on the table. Explaining he was going to the hospital to visit her mother.
Will woke up and got dressed and ate breakfast. He grabbed his bag and his phone. On his way to school he read the message Kayla sent him. His heart broke. He refused to let the tears go that were in his eyes. He wiped them away and shoved his phone in his pocket.
~6 hours later~
Kayla heard a knock at her door and walked downstairs. When she opened it, there was her snowboard and a letter. She picked both up and closed the door. She lied her snowboard down on the couch and opened the letter.
"Dear Kayla,
I'm sorry about the kiss. It meant nothing, and yes I did get caught up in the moment. I know, I hurt you. If you're…better off with Nick, then so be it. If dating him would cause you less pain…then go ahead. I won't date Skye, I don't like her like that. She's not the one for me, I thought you were…but I don't want to hurt you anymore.
Love,
Will"
Tears slowly slipped down her cheeks. She sank into the couch, and stared at the ceiling. Not knowing what to do. She regretted sending that text, she could see in the letter that she just broke his heart. She didn't want that for him. She then got dressed and ran down to the half pipe. Hoping he would be there. She was sad when she only saw Skye and Nick snowboarding. Nick noticed her and ran to her.
"Hey, I heard about the whole…Will and Skye thing." He said.
"I know, but where is Will?" Kayla asked.
Nick shrugged, "Don't know. Hey, if he keeps hurting you like this…then tell me. I can take care of him for you, and-
Before he could finish a loud cracking sound, sounded. They all turned to see an avalanche heading towards the slope. Skiers and snowboarders started running from the slope, towards the café. Kayla was stunned as the snow tumbled off the mountain. Nick grabbed her and ducked behind counter in the café.
After ten minutes of shut eyes, and hands over heads, they all stood up. The avalanche didn't reach them, luckily. A man came running over.
"Is everyone okay?" he asked.
They all nodded, "Good, I need helpers. There are people trapped under the snow on the slope. Any volunteers?"
Kayla instantly stood up, having a feeling she knew where Will was. She also had a feeling Dink and Sam were under that too. Nick and Skye volunteered with her, and a few other people. They all dug through the snow, finding a few people.
"Found one! She's about five, not breathing!" someone shouted.
"Alright, start doing chest compressions!" an adult ordered.
Kayla dug through the snow like a crazy woman, wanting…needing to find Will. An idea swam into her mind as she raced down to Hot Doggers. She ran in to see Mrs. Cloud calling Will.
"He's not answering.." she whispered.
"I need Donald and Bruce." Kayla said.
"Sure, take them."
She took the two dogs and lead them back to the slope. Both dogs started sniffing and digging. One of the girls saw her and ran to get her German Shepherd, who was a trained rescue dog. She nudge Kayla.
"Great idea." She whispered.
Kayla smiled, "Thanks, got anymore trained dogs?"
"No, but my dad has five at the station. Want me to shoot him a call?"
"Yes, that would be awesome!"
The girl grabbed her phone and dialed her father's number. Ten minutes later a car pulled up, as three German Shepherds and two Rhodesians jumped out.
"Whoa, Rhodesians!" Kayla gasped.
"Yeah, they're mates. We have their puppies, which are only two weeks old! Rose, the smaller one, can't be here long. She needs to feed the pups soon."
"That's fine, thanks."
The girl nodded before getting back to work. Kayla noticed Donald digging. She ran over and helped him, she uncovered Sam's face. She dug the rest of him out and helped him up.
"Sam? Can you hear me?" she asked.
Nick ran over, "I'll help him, find Dink."
"What about Will?"
"What about him?"
Kayla wanted to punch Nick for being so stupid, but walked away. Bruce howled loudly, causing Kayla to rush over. Relief filled her when she noticed Will's snowboard. She dug through the snow, along with Bruce. She wanted to cry when she found Will. She quickly got the rest of his body out and started chest compressions. After five minutes, Will coughed. His face twisted in pain as he coughed.
"Hey, calm down. You're okay." Kayla whispered.
Will's eyes fluttered open, and blinked. "K-Kay?"
"Hey." She grinned.
He smiled but then tried to get up. He winced and held his mid-section. "I-I think my ribs…" he gasped and fell back down.
He paled and clenched his jaw. Kayla ran her fingers through his hair as she called over to an EMT. Two came rushing over. Two minutes after, Will started having trouble breathing.
"Collapsed lung." The one said.
"How?" Kayla asked, fear paralyzing her.
The one EMT looked at her and smiled, noticing her fear. He gently pulled her aside.
"One of his ribs must of stabbed a lung, we can fix it. He has some blood in his helmet, I'm pretty sure he has a concussion. He'll be fine though. Just need a helicopter to get him to the hospital quick enough." He explained.
"Do you have one?" she asked.
"I have to call, it'll be ten minutes."
"Why wait that long when my dad has friends who can be here in two?"
He grinned as she called her father's friends. They ran back over to Will, as he started to panic. Kayla instantly calmed him down, stroking his cheek. Soon enough, a red and white helicopter appeared and landed next to them. Kayla studied it.
"How did you two manage to get a hospital one?" she asked one of her father's friends.
"We have many different types." One of them answered.
They loaded Will up and took off. The lead EMT said most of the people under the snow only need chest compressions and some Advil for headaches.
"We need children's pain medicine, for the younger ones." He announced.
Two older women walked over with three boxes each, of Children's pain medications. They handed them to the EMT who gave it to people who needed it.
Kayla helped search for more people. They found Dink and Sam, who only had headaches. There were two more people who had broken bones. The one girl, who was about fourteen, broke her wrist and sprained her ankle. Her younger brother, who was twelve, broke two ribs and may have collapsed a lung. Mr. Morgan's friends did come back to take the two to the hospital. The search continued for the rest of the day and through the night. Luckily, they had a log that listed how many people were currently on the slope when the avalanche happened. There was a total of twenty, and they found fifteen so far.
At two in the morning, they found the last five. One got stuck under a small tree, the other three were just buried. It took a little longer to get them breathing, but fourtantly they got them breathing. They sent them to the hospital just in case.
Kayla went to the hospital at two thirty, hoping Will would be out of surgery and awake. When she got there, a nurse lead her to his room. Mrs. Cloud was sitting there, waiting for him to wake up. She smiled at Kayla.
"I owe you." She whispered when she sat beside the mother.
"Nah, the best award is knowing he's okay." Kayla smiled.
They both sat there, waiting for him to wake up.
