“Kaitlin, Kaitlin baby talk to me, can you hear me?” Bette was scared, you could tell as her voice trembled. Footsteps on the stairs distracted Bette as Kaitlin fell back into unconsciousness.

Kaitlin woke up an hour later in hospital, she still couldn’t see out of one eye. Ashley was holding one hand and Tina the other, Bette was standing looking out of the window when she glanced down at her very swollen daughter and noticed her eyes open.

“Kaitlin” Bette whispered everyone looked towards her

Shit i wasn’t supposed to get caught  Kaitlin thought, she closed her eyes again

“Don’t even think about it” Ashley said angrily “What happened?” she said in a softer voice

“Nothing happened” Kaitlin grumbled

“Looks like it” her sister answered “Who done this to you? What made you fight?”

Kaitlin took a deep breath, she wasn’t going to be left alone, she glanced over towards the door and saw the police talking to Malaci

Brilliant, just what I need

“It doesn’t matter who done this to me and I felt like doing it, why are the police here?” Kaitlin asked coughing. Tina handed her a glass of water. “Thanks”

“Malaci got you away from those thugs that done this to you, the police are here to find them and get them brought to justice” Bette told her

“You have 3 broken ribs, a broken finger and concussion” Tina explained “If Malaci hadn’t turned up when he had who knows what could have happened. You could have been killed!” tears welling up in her eyes at the thought of losing her daughter.

“Nothings going to happen.” Kaitlin stated “I’m tired, you can go home, I’ll see you soon”

“What do you mean nothings going to happen? These people could have killed you! Don’t you get that? I thought you were dead when I first saw you, you weren’t moving, or speaking!” Ashley shouted at her, tears streaming down her face.

“I want to be by myself, will you all just go away” Kaitlin shouted back

“You can’t go to sleep for another 6 hours because you have concussion it can kill you if you do” Tina explained in tears
