An hour later and back in the hospital Kaitlin came round with everyone sitting around her. She glanced round and seen the worry on her parent’s face, Malaci knew who had done this and so far, to her knowledge had kept his promise. Everyone’s face was red raw from crying, she tried a silent cough but there was something in her throat what the fuck!!!!  She thought a confused and scared look took over her face as she moved to find out what this was. Everyone noticed and Bette started crying again.

“Sweetie, this was put in to help you breath. You passed out in the bathroom, can you remember? Just give me the thumbs up” Tina told her. Kaitlin put her thumb up. Bette smiled and took her hand.

A doctor came in and explained to Kaitlin that because she had broken ribs this was going to be more painful than usual to take the tube out. She braced herself and gripping her side with one hand she put the other on the metal side of the bed she coughed as he pulled it out as soon as he turned his back she slapped her hand to her mouth, she was going to be sick. Again.

She decided enough was enough for that night and went to sleep, in the hospital with everyone around her. After a while Malaci drove Miley, Lisa, Ashley and Jess home. Bette and Tina stayed by Kaitlins bedside.

“Will she be ok?” Bette asked not taking her eyes off Kaitlin

“She’ll be fine” Tina answered kissing Bette on the forehead

2 days later…

Kaitlin had been drifting in and out of consciousness for a full day. No one had left her side for the full day, she couldn’t really remember it.

“So are you going to work?” Kaitlin asked Bette over a tub of jelly she was having for her breakfast.

“Are you trying to get rid of me?” Bette laughed.

“Well…” She laughed “No, I heard you talking to mum earlier about how you had to go to work because you were falling behind or something”

“You were supposed to be sleeping” Bette said still laughing
