One Love

Secrets and Lies

Caitlyn's POV

When I awaken I see the one thing I don't want to see. My brother who looked furious. If looks could kill I would be 6 feet under. Maybe if I stay still and breath even he won't know that I'm awake. But because life hates me just that much he realized I was awake by the way he walked closer to the bed I was in.

"Caityn I know you're awake. So look at me and stop pretending." Eric said.

So I did exactly what he said. I looked right at him. I saw the broken pained expression on his face that just broke my heart. I just wanted to cry and tell him everything was going to be okay, but his next words stopped me.

"Caitlyn who the hell gave you all these bruises and broken bones?"

I looked at Eric strangely when he said broken bones. What the hell is he talking about?

He answered, "The ones the doctor showed me. Lets see there is the arm that is broken from the fall, a couple broken ribs, and lastly but not least the broken leg also the from the fall!"

"I.... I don't know what you're talking about." I stuttered.

"Don't feed me that bullshit lie. I know you better then that Caitlyn! Was it that asshole of a boyfriend? Huh is he the one that gave you that busted lip, bruises all over you're body and broken bones? Don't you dare think about lying to me to protect that dumb ass." He replied pissed.

I look at my brother who was more pissed then I have ever seen him before. He didn't know that I broke up with Robert. I know he would be happy to know I broke up with Robert but he would be even more pissed of he found out that Robert was cheating on me. I just can't bring myself to telling my brother the truth. So I did what I do best and that was lie.

"I honestly don't know what you're talking about. But I'm not with him anymore. I ended it last night before I left." I reply. I just pray he doesn't ask anymore questions.

He opened his mouth to reply before he could the doctor walked in. "Hello Caitlyn, I'm your doctor it's nice to see you awake. I have so bad news you have a couple of broken bones so you will end up having to be in a wheelchair."

I look at him and reply "when can I go home?"

"Well I don't see why you can't go home in the morning." He replies.

When he leaves the room Eric is about to start asking questions again so I put my hand up and stopped him. "Please Eric not now. Let me rest we can talk about it tomorrow. Go home please and take care of Tommy. I'll be home tomorrow morning." That would give me enough time to come up with a believable lie.

"Fine. But don't think I won't forget about this conversation." He replied. He kissed my head before he left. "I love you Caitlyn." He told me.

"I love you too, Eric." I told him.
