Chapter 4 - flashbacks
Thank you for all the reviews and faves carry on reviewing and tell me what you would like more or less of :) this was actually a pretty long chapter for me, i like never write long ones!
Paige's POV
As I open my eyes I just about make out that Brax and Kyle are knelt next to me, as I begin to fully come to I feel Kyle holding on to the top of my forehead. I try to sit up but where he is holding on so tightly to my head I can't move, my head was absolutey throbbing but I can't make out if that's where I have a hangover or where I hit my head. I was dripping wet from the storm and my body felt so numb where I was so cold, my whole body was shaking.
"I want to go home, I'm so cold"'I groan
"We need to get you to the doctors first" Kyle Insists
"No please I just want to go home" I beg
"You've been out here all night and you had a nasty knock to the head we need to check your okay"
"I'm not going to the hospital" I say trying to get up
"It's fine I'll ask Nate if he take a look at her" Brax nods trying to keep me calm
"Let me go to Angelo's and get the first aid kit to out over the cut and a blanket and then we will go home" Kyle assured
Brax kneels next to me and takes over holding on to my head whilst Kyle goes to get the first aid kit and a blanket. He looks down at me and then looks over to the empty vodka bottle beside me.
"What were you thinking paige" Brax sighs
"Do we really have to talk about this right now" I groan
"You drunk a whole bottle of vodka, that's not normal" Brax protested
"Yeah because our lives are so normal at the moment" I say sarcastically
"Drinking won't solve anything" Brax insisted
"Well I sure felt a lot better last night" I admitted
"And now look at you"
"I'm fine it's just a cut Brax"
"Do you really think Casey would want you to be doing this to yourself" Brax says sternly
"Don't bring Casey into this" I shout
"Paige I know your hurting, I am too but you can't do this to yourself,just talk to me let me help you. I know I'm not good with talking how I feel either but we can get through this together"
"Brax I don't want to talk about it" I sigh
"Paige please don't shut me out"
Kyle returns with the first aid kit, he gets a few bandages out and places them on the cut on my head to hold the bleeding until we get home, he wraps a small blanket around my shoulders and he then helps me to my feet and carries me to the car incase I feel dizzy. I could tell Brax was upset with me but I just needed some space and time I just don't want to talk about Casey.
when we arrive home, we get inside and Kyle takes me to my bedroom and sits me down. I suddenly get a wave of nausea.
"I think I'm going to be sick"
Ricky quickly runs into to bathroom and bring me a bowel over just in time, I end up being sick a few times.
"Sorry"I say exhausted
"Hey it's okay don't worry about it" Ricky reassures
"Will you stay with me?" I ask
"Of course I will" Ricky says sitting down next to me
Brax's POV
I see Nate pull up on the drive and I quickly go outside and decide to go and talk to him before he comes inside.
"Thanks for coming" I say
"How is she" Nate asks
"She's says she's fine"
"You think otherwise?"
"There was a empty vodka bottle next to her when we found her"
"You think she drunk it all" Nate questions
"I know she did"
"Maybe I could talk to her about some councilling, especially given the circumstances" Nate suggests
"She won't talk to me let alone a counciller"
"It might be easier for her to talk to someone who isn't family" Nate admitted
We walk into the house and I lead Nate into the bedroom where Paige was now sat on the bed next to Ricky with a bowl beside her.
"I already told you I don't need a doctor" Paige argued
"I know you have, but you need to be checked out, just to be on the safe side" I addressed
"Just let him fix you up and that's it" Ricky reassured
"Fine" She sighs
Paige's POV
"So how did you get the cut?" Nate questions
"It doesn't matter"
"You must of done something pretty bad to get a cut this size!"
"I fell over, and hit my head and I don't remember anything else, ok" I say shortly
"Did you black out?"
"Yeah"
"I think you might have a concussion aswell, so if your headache persist then you will need to go to the hospital ASAP" Nate concluded
"How are you feeling at the moment?" Nate asks still patching up my head
"I've told you I'm fine, my head doesn't even hurt anymore"
"I ment how are you coping, I know it must be a really hard for you at the moment with the whole Casey thing especially as you where there, you must of been terrified" Nate said sympathetically whilst finishing dressing the wound.
I freeze.
(flashback)
"Casey why has he brought us here" I whisper
"I don't know but were going to get out of here" Casey reassured grabbing hold of my hand
"Do you think Brax knows he's back?" I ask
"No, otherwise jake would be dead"
"He's going to set him up isn't he" I say panicked
"Brax isn't stupid enough to get pulled into his stupid games" Casey assures
"But he still wants revenge after him shooting Charlie and now that he has us he would put his own life on the line for us"
"And that's why Brax won't find out" Casey says sternly
"What do you mean?" I ask confused
"Well that's what he wants, that's why he's not taken our phones because he thinks we will ring Brax and tell him where we are, we need to look out for him like he looks out for us"
"Shut up, I don't want to hear your mouths" Jake shouts
"We don't want to hear yours either but we don't really have a choice" I protested
"I didn't mean like this" Casey warns
"What did you say" Jake snaps
"Paige don't" Casey begged
"You heard" I sneer
Suddenly I'm picked up and chucked against the wall being held against the wall by my throat.
"Might want to think before you open that trap of yours again" Jakes says pulling a gun out of his pocket and places it to my head
"Get off me" I say squirming trying to get out of his touch
"Keep still" Jake shouts making his grip tighter
"Paige just do what he says" Casey pleads
"Might want to listen to your brother, he seems to be the sensible one"
"Just let me go jake" I beg
"Fine I'll make you a deal,you ring your big brother Brax and tell him to meet you here and I'll let you go"
"I'm not doing it, I'm not stupid"
"You will do what I tell you too!" Jake snaps holding on to my neck so tightly I was beginning to choke
"Get of her" Casey says tackling Jake to the floor when suddenly the gun goes off.
Jake quickly stands up and makes a run for it.
"Casey are you alrite" I say running to his side when I suddenly notice the pool of blood around his chest.
"No Casey no" I cry kneeling beside him
"Case it's going to be ok I'm here, please don't leave me"
Casey grips hold of my hand and squeezes it tightly "I'm sorry" He croaks
"Case just keeping breathing I'm going to call and ambulance, your going to be fine" I reassure
"Look after yourself, get home I love you paige"
"I'm not leaving you Casey, you can't leave me I need you your my brother, my twin" I sob
His eyes were closing and his breathing was becoming slower, I look down at his pale face and realise I'm losing him
"Please Casey, don't leave me"
"Stay awake the ambulance will be here in a minute case, cmmon please don't don't this"
"Case Casey wake up" I scream
(End of flashback)
"Paige are you okay? Nate questions "
"I'm fine" I say bluntly
"You don't look it look, I think that you should talk to someone, someone who can help you with your grief. It has been a very traumatic time for you" Nate suggests
"All of you just leave me alone, I don't want your help" I shout
"Paige just calm down " Nate says calmly
"I don't need to calm down I just need you to all leave me alone"
"Were just trying to help" Nate assures
"Well I don't need your help, I don't need any of your help"
"Paige" Nate says sympathetically
"Get out! Get out! Get out" I scream
Everyone leaves the room I slam the door behind them and place my draws In front of the door so no one can get in, I begin to destroy my room, knocking down pictures and flipping furniture when I see the picture of Casey and I, where i had knocked it off the glass it had broken I grab it tightly and fall the floor staring at the picture.
"I'm so sorry Case" I whisper
