Katelyn_______________

1 Month after Hannah ditched for populars.

Mum's been acting really weird lately. As in weirder than what a mum normally is. Her usual work schedule meant she was home 4 days and 3 nights. She would swap the day shifts with the night shifts if necessary to meet Michael's and I needs. (I think she quite her job cleaning and just stuck with being a nurse.) You know, important dates at school, desperately needed mother daughter time (that happened once), bailing Michael out of jail (so far that's at a record 5). But now, I see her once a week if I'm lucky. IF! Michael's always out in the middle of the night. His mates Ashton and Calum bought their own place so he's always over with them. I shouldn't be alone at 2am man. Crazy stuff goes down. Freakin Supernatural can only keep you up for so long before you admit that if you get possessed then oh well you had a good life.

Problem is, none of that phases me. It's when I called the hospital last night, when mum was working, to ask if I could speak with her they said she wasn't working this week. Today's Thursday and I haven't seen her since Sunday because she's 'working'. I've kept this from Michael. He already worries enough. I don't want him losing his hair faster than he normally would, hair dyes. Still though.

I was doing my homework, revising science stuff on genetics because I'm currently not prepared for the test were having tomorrow. It's 7pm and I'm the only occupant in the house. Smart I know. That was until the door opened. (The fudge!?!! The locked that thing.) laughter of a man and a women echo trough the quiet house as the sound of heels clicked along the floor. I grab the cricket bat that I store in my room (baseball ones are over rated) and creep down the stairs. That's when I see it. My mother with another man. They look drunk off their faces and he looks like he could be a millionaire. Don't, don't be a gold digger mum. Don't be a gold digger. They don't notice I'm there so I make my presence clear.

"Hey."
She turns in shock. The man looks freaked out as well.
"Hi there. Are you lost little girl? Put down the bat and we'll find your real home okay?" What did mum just say?
"Excuse me?"
"It's okay. We're not going to hurt you - I'm Erick."
"And I'm Karen." Tweedledee and tweedledumb introduce themselves. Like I don't know what my own mum's name is.
"I'm not lost I-"
"Just need shelter for the night, it's okay but you know what they do to kids when they run away?" Erick says and walks closer to me. Mum trailing behind.
"Don't tell, show her sweetheart." My mum encourages.
Before I could say anything a loud crack is heard and I fall to the floor.
"They get beaten." Is all Erick says before he kicks my side. I immediately get up and run up the stairs, adrenaline kicking in as I ignore the pain. They like just said they weren't going to hurt me.
"Don't run dear, we're only going to help you." My 'mum's' sickening voice runs though the house. I pick up my phone and dial one of the only number I know.
"Hello?"
"Please please please just get home. No time to explain, JUST HURRY!"
Before I could say anymore he phone cuts out and I'm pushed to the floor by Karen. I try to more but her and Erick are throwing punches and kicks left right and center. I try to scream but can't. I'm too scared.
"Don't run away little girl." Erick whispers when I get up and start running again. I run downstairs and am pulled back by Erick. Thrown to the ground as a voice booms through the house.
"OI! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" Big brother to the rescue.

"Get out of my house you punk." Karen yells back.
"FINE THEN!" Michael screams. He storms over, slaps the both of them, then picks me up and carries me outside. The pain soon becomes unbearable.

"Mich-"
"Don't. Don't say anything." He carries me to a car and places me into one of the backseats. He then climbs in next to me and leans me so I'm resting on his side.
"What was going on Michael?" Ashton asks. Calum was in shot gun.
"I'll tell you guys later. Let's just get out of here." Ashton starts up the car and I cuddle into Michael even more, not wanting to leave my big bodyguard.

Michael (just before Katelyn calls)___

I was chilling at Ash and Cal's place, like I did normally every night. I did feel bad about leaving Katelyn at home but I can't babysit her for her entire life. She knows if anything happens she can just call. Plus I don't feel comfortable trying to find a way to help her schizophrenia when I know she could walk in any second. But at the moment we were just hanging out. Luke was coming over later, when his mum allows him, mummas boy.

My phone starts going off and 'Carry on my Wayward Son' by Kansas starts playing. Katelyn's obsessed with Supernatural, she chose it herself. Not to sure how to approach the conservation just incase it's an attack I say a simple:
"Hello?"
"Please please please just get home. No time to explain, JUST HURRY!" The line cuts out and I immediately stand up.
"Was that Katelyn?" Cal asks.
"Yup."
"Does she need you home?" Ash asks.
"Yup."
"I'll drive." He replies.
"Shot gun." Yells Cal and was pile into the car and rush to my house.

When we pull up I jump out and run up to the door. Just as I walk in I see a man forcefully push Katelyn to the ground while my mum watches.
"OI! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" I boom.
Relief washes over Katelyn's face. What did they do to her?
"Get out of my house you punk!" Mum screams.
"FINE THEN!" I'm not letting Katelyn stay any longer. I rush over pick her up then carry her out to the car. She tries to speak but I don't let her. Ash and Cal look shocked. I place her in the back seat next to me before climbing in myself. I pull he so she's leaning onto me. Ash asks if she's okay and I say I'll tell them later. I look down at my little sis who cuddles up to me even more. Her face already starting to bruise.

She's unconscious when we pull up to the guys flat and I carry her in.
"You can lay her on the bench." I look at Cal weirdly.
"Dude, she's obviously been beaten. We gotta do something." Ash taps my shoulder explaining what Cal meant before I place her onto the kitchen bench. Aka their table. While Ash gets the first aid box me and Cal look and the marks on her face and arms. He starts trailing something when his hands go to the hem of her shirt.
"Do you mind?" He asks. Looking at me.
"Go ahead." I help lift her up and he peels off her shirt. Many bruises and cuts cover her ribs and stomach. Some from what those two did to her, others from different attacks. When Ash comes back we all immediately start treating each and every single bruise and cut. Luke arrives halfway through. He doesn't even question anything and just starts helping.

"You can put her on my bed." Cal says when we're done. There are clean shirts and pants in the draw if you want to change her." I life her up and walk into Cal's room. I grab some cleanish shorts and pants - knowing Calum - and change her before tucking her in and walking out to join the guys.

"Okay," says Luke opening a beer and hanging me one. "Explain."
