The memories of kayce came back to me in flashes as John slowly regained consciousness. He was passed out and I'd put pressure on his wounds. My head is pounding as I try to view my wounds and how bad they are. My eyes fall heavy, remembering times of when we felt like we were a normal family with no problems.
2 weeks ago
The Bunkhouse was barring with music as Kayce and I were settling Bree and Tate for bed. The pair have been getting better about their nightmares. Monica has been watching over them and John who she jokes that he's retired because he always spends time with them. Kayce has been working as livestock commissioner in the office and driving his truck all over tarnation. I've been working the ranch with Rip, he's been teaching me the ropes and I love every moment of it. My parents occasionally come over to hang out with us and tonight was that night. Kayce and I step out on the porch to see John chilling. I took my hat off, bowing my head lightly as Kayce leans against the stone wall chuckling at the sound of loud music through the ranch.
"Mr. Dutton" John smiles at me, he's noticing that I've been calling him that more. "You thinkin of joinin them?" He points a index finger at my tapping boot on the wood. I hadn't noticed and I blush. It had been years since I'd danced or parted or got a drink because of Bree.
Kayce comes round wrapping his muscular arms round my shoulders and I lean back into his calming embrace. He starts to say no but I put a finger to his lips rebutting with puppy dog eyes. "Kayce please. This is our one moment with no kids." He bends his head down and looks to his dad for approval which is cute.
"Ya be okay with that, dad?" John smiles and I giggled when Kayce literally swept me off my feet bridal style. He put my hat on my head laughing as he carried me to the Bunkhouse. He kicked open the door setting me on my feet grinning like a child. The cowboys of the Bunkhouse watch us chuckling and start dancing around with barrel racer girls. Kayce takes a bow removing his hat for a second then to hold out his freehand. I giggled at his cuteness of asking me to dance.
"May I have this dance, y/n Dutton?"I placed my hands in his and we started dancing around silly. Kayce and I both grinned at one another in a way I thought I'd never see again. The Bunkhouse door opens and I turned my attention to see beth wearing a white cowgirl hat, black tank top, blue jeans and black boots. A bottle of alchohol in her hands with a smirk playing on her lips with her hips swaying to the music. "Y/n come to join the party" I smirked looping my arm through hers and winking to kayce who takes a shot of whiskey.
A couple hours later I didn't know what time it was but I couldn't care. Kayce wasn't as drunk as me but he was a bit tipsy and he was laughing as me and beth danced the night away. "What the hell is going on here!" Everyone kinda froze at the sound of Rip's voice. Beth kept swaying her hips dancing and she whispered in my ear as I stood a little stiff. "He won't hurt ya y/n."
I wasn't typically afraid of him but the tone of his voice was different in this moment. He strolled through the crowd of boys glancing to me with a smirk, his gaze finally stopping on Beth. "I should've known it was you....you did a pretty good job considering y/n and kayce are here." He pulls her in for a kiss as she wraps her arms around his neck. "By know you sure should'a" Kayce pulls me to him by the belt of my jeans grinning handing me a shot of whiskey. We clinked the red solo cups together before tipping them back and once we're finished we started howling at the moon.
The next morning.
My head was pounding as I got up to puke in the toilet. I wipe my mouth crawling back under the covers to feel kayce shift. He groans and moans until I rest my head on his bare chest. Before you ask no we didn't have sex. We just had too many drinks - bad idea. Kayce combs a lazy hand through my messy hair as I listen to his heartbeat. "How's your head honey?" His raspy morning voice is something I could get used to lisening to all the time.
"Like someone is banging a rock against my head, how about you?" I tilted my head up looking to see him looking down to me. He groans shifting so he's sitting up a bit with me still laying ontop. "This was your idea last night!" He gave me an angry glare but I started laughing and it made my headache worse but I didn't care. The Kayce Dutton I was with last night was a blast - I hadn't seen that Kayce since the day before we found out I pregnant with Bree. "Well maybe I wanted a day off with ya cowboy - ah Kayce no!"
A knock on his bedroom door makes us break from our trance. His hands stopped tugging at my shirt and tickling me. "Kayce - Y/n!" It was his dad's voice. I flicked my gaze from the door to his sin hollering out. "Yeah, sir!" The door opened slightly and Kayce sat up. "I need you both outside. I've got a suprise for the two of ya." He closes the door and I sighed having Kayce get up and throw on a grey tea shirt and blue jeans. I threw my head back on the pillow twirling my hair as a flirt, he looked my way walking over with his hat.
"We have to go see what he wants. Can't just lay around in bed all day darlin". I scooted over to him under the covers whining like Bree and Tate. "Kayce..." I took hold of his shirt trying to pull him down ontop of me. He smirked tossing his hat at the foot of the bed "Y/n - I'm serious..and don't think for one second that this isn't at all tempting." He kisses me quickly before put one arm under my legs and the other under my back. I wrap my arms around his neck feeling the cold air.
I'm only wearing my tea shirt from last night and some old shorts. "You're mean, Kayce Dutton!" He playfully rolled his eyes sitting me down on the bed, to hand me my Jean's. Slipping them on I shook my head. Putting my hat on my head once I finish my braid going down my back. "Don't lie, you love me." He replied as we saw John outside with his helicopter ready to go. Kayce and I shared a confused glance before climbing in with his father who flies us to the open feilds.
"This is the center of our land. And I see no better place for you two to settle down." I remove my hat feeling honored at the gesture. When Kayce left me for Monica. John and I created a bond of some sort. "Mr. Dutton, thank you...that means a lot." He smiled a small one eyeing his young son.
Kayce looks down at me brightly as the wind blows my hair in the warm sun. "Thanks dad. I'll not make a mistake with her, not again." I slowly walk in the fields feeling the pair watching me with smiles.
Squinting my eyes at the brightness of the sun I felt myself being lightheaded as I drop my arms holding myself up. John lays bleeding beside me. A car's tires stopped on the paved road and a car door slammed. Footsteps approach quickly when I start to black out. "John. Y/n. No. No, don't you die on me!" Rip's panicked voice made the ear ringing increase.
"Y/n. Hey, hey stay with me!" His hands cup my face in his, seeing blood coming from my wounds. "R-Rip..." I coughed out closing my eyes hearing him hollering to John and me. "Don't you die on me now. You hear me!"
Let me get back to Kayce.
Please, let me see him.
