Chapter 11: Healing Part 1

Katy POV

"So, Katy, I have good news for you, my dear. You are free to go home today. Your dad has filled out and signed the forms needed for your 'release', as you like to call it and I will, happily, be letting you go now," Dr de Beer said and finished with a chuckle.

"Happily? Dr de Beer, I thought I was your favourite patient," I laughed along with her.

"I'm kidding, honey. You know you're my favourite. But all jokes aside; I am glad that you are leaving this place because you are better now, okay? Seeing you here and in pain was absolutely horrible. Whenever you need anything, don't hesitate to call me or Nicole. You can even come to the hospital if you want to, alright?" she said walking over to me with open arms. I struggled to grab my crutches and when she saw that, she hurried up to me and mumbled a soft 'don't stress'.

Dr de Beer hugged me tightly before handing me my crutches. "I will most certainly do that, Linda. Please tell Nicole to call me as I forgot to take her numbers yesterday when she took mine," I said as I grabbed my crutches, steadying myself. She lead me out of the hospital room where I was met by Justin with a wheelchair in front of him. He me down on it and started pushing me out of the hospital.

Justin had rented a car as well because my dad would be gone most of the time, attending some business stuff so Justin thought it would be better if we had more one car. When we got to the car, he helped into the passenger seat and put my crutches in the back.

I had a lot of time to think while I was in hospital for the past week and a half. I thought about Justin and this relationship of ours. How wrong it would seem to others and, most importantly, how illegal it was. Justin is in his late twenties while I'm only in my mid-teens. He would get arrested if anyone was to find out and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that was to happen. Oh and don't even get me started about the incident that landed me into hospital. Thing is that I trust Justin but I cant help but to feel a little terrified of him at the same time. The way he just shifted when he got angry at that man. What if he got angry at me or something?

I sighed loudly, tired of having all these thoughts in my mind. "Is something wrong, my love? You've been awfully quiet the whole ride from the hospital to the house. I bet you didn't even realize that we've arrived," Justin spoke and, shockingly, when I looked outside we had indeed arrived.

"Nothing is wrong, Justin," I forced a smile that soon faded as tears welled in my eyes. "Baby, I'm scared. I know that you wouldn't intentionally hurt me but I can't help but worry a little, you know? I haven't been in a- I don't even know what to call this- and to think that the person on the other end is an older man who so happens to be a protective and possessive werewolf. Man!" I tried to laugh my tears away, "That is some intense shit to take in and deal with." By the time I was finished pouring my heart out, I was in Justin's arms with his shirt wet from my tears and my eyes red and puffy adding to my scary appearance.

"I'm really truly sorry for making you feel this way, Katy. As much as it will hurt me, I will leave you alone for a while if you'd like," Justin sweetly offered after kissing my forehead. His words caused me to vigorously shake my head.

"No, Justin. Please, that is the last thing that I want right now." "Okay then. I'll be with anytime you need me but right now I have a surprise for you. Lets get out of this car." Justin pecked my lips and ran to my side to open the door. We took everything we needed and walked to the guesthouse entrance. When I opened the door, the word 'surprise' was yelled, startling me tremendously.
