Bulldog JrLater that evening before Carly and Kyler left the doctor came around to see me again. "Well, good news Lieutenant Stanford, all of your tests came back clear but we would like to keep you in for a few days just to keep an eye on you."
"Okay, doc. Anything you say."
She smiles. "Visiting is almost over guys so I'll let you all say your goodbyes so Lieutenant Stanford can get some rest. He's had a strenuous day today."
"We will doc."
She smiles and leaves. Carly and Kyler look at me. "I guess we should get going J Das wanted to see you but I guess it took you longer to come around than we all expected. He popped his head in and let us know he will come and visit you tomorrow."
I nodded. "Don't blame him for this Ky. He wasn't to know."
"I'll try."
"Try harder, he's our sergeant and he looks out for the both of us.Maybe a certain little stardust is taking up his brain and turning it to mush." I laughed.
Ky didn't. "A girl is no excuse to miss the signs J."
"Maybe he is going through some shit to, don't forget we were all there together there's no way of telling if he's messed up somehow too."
"Maybe. I'll try J. I'm not promising you anything."
"That's all I'm asking." he leaned over and pulled me into a bro hug. "Do the right thing J and get help."
"I will."
He pulled out of the hug and grinned stepping back so Carly could take his place. "I'm sorry for all of this Carly bear. I promise to get myself better."
"I know," she said, wrapping her arms around me and hugging me. I hugged her tightly. "I want the old Jonathan back."
"I'll get there, I promise."
"You better, or I'll beat your ass."
I chuckled. I intended to, if not for me, for her. She means everything to me.
She pulled away. "We'll come and visit tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Night J see you tomorrow."
"Night Ky."
"Night Jonathan."
"Night Carly bear."
She smiles as she leaves.
Carly
We walked out of the hospice after a very long day. Cas has yet to see Jonathan cause Ky insisted we wait until he wakes. And that's where we stayed until now. Cas will go first thing in the morning to see him and talk to him and try and explain that he's sorry but I think Jonathan already knows he is none of us seen this come or could've predicted it.
Kyler entwined his fingers with mine. "It's going to seem strange tonight without Jonathan keeping me up talking and laughing. Though he hasn't done much of that lately. He was still there even if it felt like he wasn't."
I smile. "Would you like me to stay with you tonight?"
"Will you?"
I smile and nod. "If that's what you want?"
"Yeah, it would help a lot if you don't mind."
"Until J comes back to the cabin."
"Yeah, sure."
We could continue walking in a blissful silence to the cabin where he finally lets go of my hand and opens the door. We stepped inside and he flicked the light switch on lighting the one-bedroom cabin. "You can use the bathroom first then I'll go in."
"Are you sure?"
"I am."
I smile. "Thanks."
"Anything for Carly bear."
I laugh and head into the bathroom to relieve myself, take a shower and change for bed. Luckily for me, I always keep a spare set of jammies here since we used to have all-nighters before everything changed for the worse. I hope we can get that back one day.
I walk out of the bathroom and Ky looks up at me from his bed and smiles. "You can use the bathroom now."
"Thanks."
He stands up and walks over to me. "Thanks for this Carly, staying. I mean."
I smile at him "were friends Ky, we stick together. I miss how it was before."
"Me too."
"Where shall I sleep?"
"Can I cuddle up to you? I don't want to sleep alone tonight."
"Sure."
He smiles and goes into the bathroom and closes the door. I strode over to the bed and pulled the covers back and slipped onto the bed and pulled them over me. It seems so weird sleeping here with Ky. We used to push the beds together before when I stayed before there was no funny business but I always ended up squashed between the two of them.
The bathroom door closes and my walks out in all of his glory if I wasn't swarm off men I would pick either him or Jonathan they are the ideal figure of a man for me I wish I could put behind me what happened with Aiden and Kaden but I can't right now no one knows what happened between me and kaden but they know briefly what happened between me and Aiden. He may have moved in but I haven't. Kyler slides into bed and drops his arm over me hugging me tightly. "Thanks for being here for me Carly bear, it means a lot."
"I know and I will always be here for you Ky, you and Jonathan."
"That means a lot to me, Carly bear."
I smile.
He kisses my cheek. "Goodnight Carly Bear."
"Night Ky, sleep tight."
"Don't let the bed bugs bite."
I chuckle and slowly close my eyes.
Luckily for me I am a light sleeper. I hear mumbling tuning into talking and shouting. "No no please!"
I turn to find my thrashing in his sleep. He must've turned over something during the night. "No!No!" He screams.
I have to stop this, but I don't know how.
Suddenly he got on top of me and his hand was around my neck. "Die you fucker die. You won't take me alive and I'll kill you before you get the chance."
I choke as his hands tighten around my throat. I have to do something quick before he chokes me to death. I manage to get out of the choke hold and roll him onto his back and grab his hands as they go to attack me again and pin them down onto the bed. He is still thrashing and shouting abuse at me. "Stop Ky please stop. Please wake up!" I shout tears streaming down my face. "Please wake up." I plead again.
His eyes spring open taking time to adjust to his surroundings before his eyes land on me. "Carly what happened?"
Tears were streaming down my face, something must've registered in him. He pulled me to his chest and I erupt in hysterical tears. "You tried to.."
"I'm sorry I'm so fucking sorry. I don't know what happened." He hugs me tighter as I continue crying.
