The Hidden Truth (In the process of Editing)

Call Me Allen

I gave him a weak nervous smile,"Hello sir,"

Her dad motioned for me to come closer. Jeremy looked confusingly between the two of us. I guess no one told him about my first meeting with her dad.

I walked to closer to her dad. Kayla and Erin looked so much like him, same evil grins, same jawline and chins.

He took a long hard look at me then opened his mouth,"Are you here to visit my daughter?'

I said something really smart like,"Uh-duh," thankfully Erin came to my rescue. Her make up was smudged and she had dark spots under her eyes from not sleeping in at night,"Dad," she gulped. She looked nervous and her silver eyes couldn't look her dad in the eye,"Oh hey Chase," she seemed to ease a bit,"Are you feeling better? You can go see Kayla if you want. You two Jeremy. Jessica's in there."

I nodded at her dad before walking past the two of them and into the room where Kayla was lying on a hospital bed, her eyes shut. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw her chest heaving up and down. At least she was breathing, but there were IV tunes and a blood bag hanging around her.

I looked at the heart monitor, she seemed to be breathing at a normal rate. Then I touched her hand and the monitor started beeping.

Kayla's eyes fluttered open,"Chase?" she croaked.

"Hey princess," I smiled pulling a chair up to her bedside.

Jessica quietly slipped out of the room, muttering something about leaving us to it along with Jeremy.
Kayla held tightly onto my hand,"Are you feeling better? I heard you had a concosion,"

"I'm fine. Though I should be the one to ask you that,"

She smiled, showing me her perfectly white teeth. There was a small freckle just above her lip that I hadn't noticed before,"I'm okay. This isn't my first time here,"

I was shocked,"This has happened to you before!"

"Yeah. But it was just a motorcycle accident. Me and Erin were racing and then we both collided. And the worst part was that I wasn't even wearing a helmet!" Kayla chuckled as if her her accident was just a clown on a unicycle, that tripped on a dog. I have no idea where that came from...

"So what did you tell the doctors?"

"That I fell on the steps and there was a sharp piece of wood sticking out that cut me," Kayla shrugged," These people think I'm clumsy enough so they believed it."

"What about the bullet? "

"I guess Jess or Erin took it out before sending me to the hospital," Kayla's eyebrows scrunched together like she was trying hard to forget the nights of the past.

We sat there together in silence, enjoying each others presence. I looked at Kayla and how beautiful she looked, even with all the tubes running out of her. There was a later of softness and love that I had never noticed before. A level of her that was hidden beneath the lies and facades.

She closed her eyes and slipped into a peaceful slumber. Her grip on my hand loosend until she was just barely grazing it.

Jeremy came back into the room, and stood behind me,"Do you want to come home?"

I shook my head,"No. I'm going to stay here till she leaves,"

"Want anything to eat?"

"Nah. I'll get something with Kayla when she wakes up,"

Jeremy nodded and walked out. I could see Erin and her dad still talking outside through the big window. Erin's hands were trembling behind her back. It was only now that I realized how scared she was of my dad. That night on the roof, she had hid behind Kayla's back. Erin was scared of her dad? How in the world did that happen. The Erin I knew wasn't afraid of anything. The way she carried her self, in strong swift moves. I wonder what ever happened to make her so afraid.

KAYLA'S P.O.V-

There was a sharp shooting pain in my side from where I was shot. But as soon as Chase's fingers grazed my wound, it seemed to magically heal.

I could feel the steady beat of Chase's heart against me as he snuggled in my hospital bed with me. We slept pretty much the whole day, only waking up around six, to my dad staring at us.

Chase scrambled out of the bed,"Sorry sir," he muttered before starting towards the exit.

"Wait," my dad called after him,"Come back young man."

Chase gulped before walking back, shoving his trembling hands into the pockets of his jeans. I felt bad for the boy, he was obviously scared of my dad, but I mean who wouldn't be? He was a tall buff man with tattoos running up his arms and a long jagged scar running from his eye down his cheek. He had big brown scary eyes and the same permanent scowl that Erin wore.

"Uh yes sir?" Chase asked rocking back and forth on his feet and trying to look anywhere but at me or my dad.

I sat up, and immediately regretted it as my side started to burn,"Dad, please don't scare him."

He glanced at me before lookin back at Chase,"What's your name young man?"

"Ch-chase," he stuttered,"sir,"

"Call me Allen,"
