On the Run pt. 5 | Killian Hayes Short Story

"What were you thinking?!" DeRon gripped Killian against the wall in the police station. To say that the following sequence from Lucas' push didn't change the course of every relationship in the room is an understatement.

"Mr. Ron please let him go! Uncle Danny, get him!" Azera begged as her uncle entered the room. "D, chill now ain't the time. You gotta focus on getting him out of here." DeRon roughly shoved his son back causing him to stumble a bit.

"I'm trying to keep you out of trouble and here you are putting yourself back in it." Storming out of the room, the adults left the teens to talk amongst themselves. Azera took a seat next to Killian, trying to examine the cut above his eye. He snatched away from her which caused her to flinch. He was angry with himself for getting into that fight, getting detained and disappointing his father. Although he resented the man, he still desired his approval. They sat awkwardly because she didn't want to try touching him again.

"Your head okay?" He asked remembering she hit the ground hard when Lucas couldn't control himself. That was the reason for Killian knocking him into next Tuesday. Lucas raised his hand to Azera and one thing is he wasn't gonna sit by and watch was that. "Hurts a little." She played it off but, it truly hurt alot.

"I'm telling your uncle you need to go to the hospital."

"No, I don't wanna leave you in here. This is my fault in the first place." She felt responsible and it was understood why. Lucas was a control freak and she challenged what he laid out for them. It was bound to ge ugly. "Don't worry about me, I'll be cool but I can tell something off, you can't stay balanced.

Danny reentered with papers for Killian to sign. "You gotta sign these papers and then we're taking you both home." Killian chose not to announce going to the hospital in the station because he knew there would be a bigger uproar. Following behind Danny, they saw Lucas and Jamal on the way out. The dirty looks they received from the blooded Lucas and companions were priceless. Killian smirked and he motioned for his new rival to wipe his nose.

DeRon didn't say anything as the kids got into the backseat, he had just gotten an ear full from his ex. She was getting on a plane to talk to him and Killian because things were getting ridiculous. He didn't know how to tell his son, it was already alot to handle that they didn't have a good relationship themselves.

"Dad, can you stop by the hospital?"
"What's wrong? You okay son?"

"I'm fine, Azera need to get checked out, she hit her head." The brakes did a hard stop as Danny and DeRon turned around. "Now Azera, tell me how that happened."

"I fell?"

DeRon pulled off, making his way to the hospital over the bridge. The ride was silent as they moves through the Tybee streets, it seemed like all the drama slowed everything down. The rides from the pier weren't moving and it seemed like the town all found refuge indoors from the rain.

The beeps in the emergency room were the only sounds amongst the four of them until the doctor spoke. "Ms. Gamble, you'll be fine. Just take one ibuprofen every 6 hours for the next two days if the headache persists after that, you make sure you come back here okay?"

Azera would've nodded but her head was already spinning. Killian helped her off the table and into the hallway. DeRon and Danny didn't expect them to get as close as they were becoming in such a short amount of time. But here they were making their way out of a hospital, side by side.

Three Days Later....

All of Tybee knew what became of the Killian vs Lucas fight and there was even video of it taken from the bar they were at.
