My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 16

*What happened before Dylan came home with Kaitlyn*

Dylan's POV:

I woke up to the sound of someone talking on the phone, I'm assuming. I rub my eyes and look up to see Luna pacing around the room while talking on the phone stressfully.

"Lulu? What's going on?" I ask still adjusting myself properly on the couch. I realized that Emilio was still asleep. Luna help up her index finger gesturing a hold on. I nodded and tried to understand who and what she was talking to and about.

"Okay, okay calm down I'll come pick you up in five minutes just calm down and gather all the stuff you need to take, alright?" Luna continues to speak on the phone. "Kait, listen to me. Try to calm down and stop crying because the dangers of your dad hearing you right now are high, so when I hang up gather your stuff and wait for a text from me or Dylan ONLY." She repeated. Did Scott hurt Kaitlyn again? Did Jason do anything to her? What's happening right now? Is Kaitlyn okay?

"Dylan, we need to go pick up Kait right now," Luna demanded. "Her dad was trying to hurt her really really bad along with Jason." She explained stressfully.

"You stay I don't want to risk the chances of you getting hurt. I'll go get her and come back." I say.

"But what if -" I cut her off, "No, you're going to stay. Emilio is here if you needed anything, you can also just call me." And with that, I grabbed my car keys (thank God it was finally back from service) and headed out. I start the engine and start driving to Kait's house as fast as I can. It wasn't very far, but it definitely wasn't close. It was about 25-30 minutes away from our house.

I told Kaitlyn to text me every few minutes so I know she's alright, and she did. She texted me every about 3 minutes and I kept my phone in front of me so I could see the messages.

I was driving as fast as I could, but I made sure not to get into any sort of car accident since it really isn't the time. I realized that Kait hadn't sent a text for a long time, the last text which was her 4th one was 8 minutes ago. I started to panic, this can't be good. I speed up since I was really close and if I was a minute late, anything could go wrong.

**

I stop my car in front of Kaitlyn's house and see that I don't have much fuel left.

Fuck.

I text Kait, telling her that I'm outside. She doesn't reply to my text or even read it.

I get out of the car and the moment I step in front of the door, I hear an ear piercing scream.

Well fuck no I'm not gonna wait here.

I attempt to open the door, but it's locked. I had no other choice but to break it down. So I did, and when I entered I saw Kaitlyn on the floor, almost fully unconscious with Scott and Jason stopping whatever the fuck they did with her and tilting their heads to face me.

"What the fuck did you do," I said sternly. Scott gave Jason a look, Jason nodded. As I started to run towards Kait, Jason practically attacked me.

But because I don't let anyone hurt my loved ones, I tried to dodge all of his punches and I succeeded, knocking him out in return. Scott had already left before signaling Jason to 'get' me, so it was easier for me to reach Kait. She was going in and out of consciousness.

"Kait, I'm here," I say supporting her neck with one arm and swooping her off the ground with another, picking her up bridal style and rushing outside to the car. I lay her down in the back seat and get into the front seat immediately. I start the engine and start driving off to the hospital.

I keep looking back every few minutes to check on Kait, but she's still laying unconscious in the backseat of my car. She had bruises covering her body, scratches covering her skin and something that caught my eye, cuts on her wrists.

She's been cutting.. does Luna know about this? I don't think she does..because if she does she wouldn't have let her do it. She's suicidal and she hasn't told anyone. It's all because of her own family. Family is supposed to be the place where love never ends. Where you find support, at any time. Family is supposed to be home.

But not for Kaitlyn, no. Not after the abusing started. Not after she was blamed for Mason's death, which had nothing to do with her. She's giving up, she doesn't want to show that she is though. She's trying to be strong and brave, but at the end we all have weaknesses. Nobody is born afraid of nothing. We all have our frightening thoughts, nobody doesn't. You will have to reveal your feelings at some point, they won't stay hidden for long.

As I drowned in my thoughts, the car suddenly stopped. I checked and I've used up all the fuel I had left. We were still far from the hospital, but close to our house.

I step out of the car, slamming the door angrily. I opened the door of the backseat and slowly picked up Kaitlyn, making sure I supported her neck. I carried her out and started walking to our house, more like running.

5 minutes later, I was at the doorstep of our house. I knocked on the door, not taking my eye off of Kait's face that looked terrible with all of these bruises covering it. I looked up when I heard the door opening and was welcomed by both Emilio and Luna, shocked.

**

Luna's POV:

I saw Dylan's face, it was full of worries. Kait's face has bruises all over it, her arms, basically her whole body.

"W-What- Kait- What happened?!" I said unable to find words to blurt out as I pulled Emilio out of the way giving Dylan the space to enter with Kait. Dylan rushes in and places her on the couch.

"Emilio, I need your car." Dylan said stressfully. "Hospital." Emilio said. We both went and slipped any shoe we found and then we all headed outside to Emilio's car. I sat in the back with Kait while Dylan sat in the front seat beside Emilio. I kept Kait's head on my lap and I kept splashing some water on her face from my water bottle hoping it would regain her consciousness, but it didn't.
