Opposites Attract - C.Dallas

"ARGH!" Both Cam and I heard a scream.

I bet the whole house heard. We both got out of my bed and hurried downstairs.

"PLEASE! HELP!" There was another scream.

I ran to the direction of the noise. I continued to run out of the house to see a females body laying on the ground along with Caitlin who was shaking.

I kneeled down by the side of the girl who was crying and straining. She was recognisable. She looks like the girl I helped at the airport.

Wait, hold on?... She is!!

"What happened to her Caitlin?!" I asked as I looked up at her.

"I-I was downstairs and the intercom rang. When I saw the girl, I remembered her from the airport. She collapsed while the camera was live which made me scream. I helped her up but she just collapsed again, here!" Caitlin stuttered.

I saw the boys run out to see what was happening. I focused back on the girl who looked terribly weak.

"Sweetie, you're safe now. I'm going to take you to the hospital okay?" I said, hoping to get a response.

She nodded and started to groan. I quickly examined her body. Her shorts were dirty, and her top was ripped. On her thighs were needle marks. The marks were filled with dried blood. The space around her eyes were dark and swollen. Bruises had formed on her wrists.

I feel so bad for this girl. She literally just arrived here and she's already been abused. Whoever has done this should be ashamed.

"Someone get the keys to the Hummer!" I yelled out as I got up and lifted her bridal style.

I turned and saw Carter running towards me with the keys. He pressed the unlock button and opened the back door. I carefully placed her body on the back seats. I got out and slammed the door shut.

"Caitlin, come with me." I demanded and took the keys from Carter.

"Thanks." I said to him and got in the drivers seat.

Seconds later, Caitlin got in the passengers seat and I drove off as fast as I could.

*****

I've been sitting in ER for two hours. The girl was classed as unidentified due to the fact that the poor girl couldn't speak. I needed to get some answers out of her.

Caitlin was fine now. I bought her a coffee and soothed her. Something seems awfully off about her. I don't know if something happened between her and Nash but I do hope it's nothing serious.

"Caitlin, are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine." She nervously said and gave me a fake smile.

I returned one back and took a sip of my coffee.

I spotted the girls doctor walking towards us. I stood up along with Caitlin.

"How is she doctor?" I asked him.

"Chloe's fine now. She's just got bruised ribs but needs lots of rest. We have found drugs in her system. Heroin to be precise." He explained.

"So that's her name." Caitlin murmured.

"She didn't drug herself" I stated, backing Chloe up.

"I can tell she didn't. It looks more like an abusive attack. I've contacted the police to come in and question her." He continued.

"Am I allowed to see her?" I eagerly asked.

"Yes; Of course. Both of you can." The doctor granted and started to make his way.
