Note: I know I'm not the best with updates and I'm sorry. I haven't been well these past few weeks and it's been really screwing me up. I know thats no excuse but I just want you guys to know that there is a reason why I've been sloppy with updates. It's actually good the next episode is not for a bit so it gives me more time. My main priority right now is trying to get better and get through it but it's been pretty rough so just hang in there. I'm not trying to spill my life story just want to let you know there is a reason and I'm not just some lazy potato. Thanks for reading :)

I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 69

Catherine sat in the corner of the hospital room as she watched her sister sleep. Never in her life has she been so thankful to just watch her sister breath slow constant breaths as she was in a deep sleep. Catherine looked up as she heard a small knock on the door.

"Come in." she called out.

A short brown haired nurse came into the room with a clip board. "Everything looks good. She does not have any head injuries or body injuries. Judging by the events that had taken place I would not be surprised to see some PTSD showing up here in there."

Catherine nodded. "I'll be able to come home to check on her during my lunch hours during work and if need I'm sure I can get some time off."

The petite nurse nodded while looking down at her clip board. "I take it you work full time?"

Catherine nodded.

"Okay well since she is still alseep and everything looks good I'll come back in a few minutes."

Catherine gave the nurse a weak smile. "Thank you."

When the nurse left Catherine's phone went off. She took it out of her pocket and read the text.

'How is she? -V'

Catherine looked up at her sister who was sound asleep and replied. 'Asleep right now but she is doing well. Thanks to you. -Cat'

About an hour passed and Catherine fell asleep in the chair next to her sisters bed.

"No!" Heather yelled as she shot up in the hospital bed with tears streaming down her face.

Catherine's eyes flew open and immediatly was by her sister's side. "Heather, relax you're safe. I promise."

Heather continued to cry as Catherine rubbed her back with her hand. "Shh you're okay. You're okay." Catherine reasured her while rubbing small circle's on her back.

"I-I- wanna go home." Heather sobbed.

Catherine nodded. "Okay, okay we can. Just let me get the doctor."

Heather nodded and then buried her head in her hands as she continued to cry.

Catherine went over to the phone on the wall and looked at the sheet of paper that was stapled to the wall with a list of numbers. As she was waiting for someone to pick up she looked over at her sister who continued to cry.

"I wanna go home..." Heather sobbed.

Catherine removed the phone away from her mouth and whispered, "We will don't worry."

As Catherine phoned the doctors Heather rested her head back on the pillow and continued to sob. How close she was to dying just a few moments ago it was just unreal. And the thing...something saved her. She looked over at her sister who was still on the phone. She was a cop, hopefully she will figure out who it was.

"Just get some sleep okay?" Catherine said after she tucked her sister in her own bed one they got back to their apartment.

Heather nodded. "I'll try."

"And I'm right across the hall so if you need anything..."

Heather gave her sister a weak smile. "I promise I'll come get you."

Catherine smiled back as her sister and placed a kiss on the top of her head. "I love you, sleep tight."

Heather smiled. "Night."

Catherine walked over and turned off the light switch. She took one last look at her sister before closing the door.

She walked back to her room and closed the door behind her. As she took off her coat and placed in on her bed she noticed someone was sitting on her windowsill.

"How you doing?" Catherine asked as she took a seat on her bed across from Vincent.

Vincent stared at the ground. "I'm sorry Catherine, I'm so so sorry."

"Vincent you saved my sister."

Vincent swallowed. "But I put you and her at risk."

Catherine leaned forward. "Vincent this wasn't you're fault."

"But Muirfield-"

"Vincent, you saved my sister's life. This isn't your fault."

Vincent didn't say anything.

"Promise me you won't blame this on yourself."

"I still killed him."

Catherine sighed. "Let's not worry about that right now."

"Catherine, he was Joe's brother."

"I'll handle it."

Vincent shook his head and looked up at her. "That means just more lies for you to tell."

"Vincent he was going to shoot her, he's still the bad guy here."

"But he didn't remember? I killed him."

Catherine sighed. "Let's just worry about it tomorrow okay? We could both use some sleep."

Vincent didn't say anything.

"Please?"

"Catherine there is something you should know...about tonight."

Catherine gave him a confused look. "What?"

"Darius...he wasn't alone."

"What do you mean?"

"Somebody was with him."

Next chapter will be up as soon as I can but please just try to bare with me here. Hopefully any questions will be answered in the next chapter. This is the beginning of tying in 'Any Means Possible.' Remember, there was Darius and two other guys in 'Tough Love' only Darius and one of the guys died. If you re-watch it one guy runs away.
