Katerina

I have been in the hospital two days now and I'm finally getting discharged today. Josh is still here but he's awake now. I found out that he is the bands youngest brother but they told me they would tell me more once we got to the house and settled. I still can't believe I've seen them without their mask, I had a gut feeling about them being the ones that would come to the shop but never really thought about it. We haven't talked about what happened other than when I tried to tell them who it was that kidnapped me but Sebastian said he already knew and that they took care of them, that I didn't have to worry about them anymore. I'm not exactly sure what that means but I think they killed them, I'm only sad I didn't get to take part in it. I don't remember much of them rescuing me, Steve and Simon had gave me some kind of drug and my brain was all foggy. All I really remember was being untied and shoved behind a table and hearing gunshots, then I woke up in the hospital and that's when I remember seeing their faces. They are all so handsome, I don't know why they would ever want to cover their faces with a mask.

We pull up to the cutest little cottage and Cole helps me out of the car. As we walk up to the house and it's something out of a fairytale, flowers all around the front of the house, decent size front yard, fencing around the property, the path that lead to the front door is gravel and stone. We walk in the front door and it's just as cute on the inside. The living room has a fire going inside the fireplace, big area rug, with plenty of seating around a small coffee table, the exposed wooden beams on the ceiling give it that warm country feel. There is an elder lady sitting in a chair more in the corner of the room with a blanket over her lap and oxygen in her nose. She's got the little lamp on that sits on the small table beside the chair and she's reading a book, that's when I notice it's like a little reading nook because behind her built into the wall is a bookshelf and every shelf is lined with books. When we enter the room and Cole helps me to one of the couches she looks up and she has the warmest smile I've ever seen.

Cole is making a fuss over me asking a million questions, if I'm cold, hungry, thirsty, comfortable, if there is anything he can do for me. It's sweet but after what has happen over the past few days I just need to breathe in peace.

"You boys take the list off the kitchen table and go into town and get the items on it. Us girls will be alright."

I look at the woman, silently thanking her. The boys look from me to her and back again, I give them my best smile. They're hesitant but they do as the women ask and leave to head into town. After they are gone I feel like I can breathe.

"I'm Elizabeth but everyone calls me Liz. I'm the boys mother. It's nice to meet you Katerina."

"It's nice to meet you as well. You can call me Kat if you would like."

"Well Kat, the boys haven't told me details about what happened to you only that I shouldn't ask questions. I'm sorry for whatever has happened but if you need someone to talk to I am here. It's not like I can tell anyone I'm dying and I don't think I will be around much longer. That's why my boys have come home."

"Oh I see. I'm so sorry to hear this. Is there anything I can do to help you in any way?"

"Oh no child, what I have is terminal I've been fight for a while and it's just my turn to go. But I do see what the boys were talking about you taking care of everyone else and not yourself."

I bow my head not knowing how to respond to her.

"You know, talking might just help. How about this, you tell me about what happened and I'll tell you anything you want to know."

"I was kidnapped by my ex boyfriend and his best friend that's ways tried getting me to go on dates with him and. The guy I just hired to help in my shop back home. They beat and raped me. Then the guys came to my rescue."
