Raelynn's POV ~
We all went home in different cars, Dylan and i in his car, Aubrey and Kaden in his car, my mom in hers, and my dad.... In his. We were being very economical... Haha not! Anyway most of the drive back to my house was quiet but Dylan was trying to make small talk.

"Sooo....?" He said kinda as a question.

"Sooo? What?" I asked.

"Are you gonna be okay....? Ya know... Cause of.... Well" He was trying to avoid the word usage of 'dad, father, or even mike' but he still brought up the subject.

"I guess soo... I dont know" i replied in a quiet voice.

"Well if you need anything, or want to leave or be alone tell me and i'll figure it out okay?" Dylan asked

"Yeah...." I said while staring out the window not really sure of what was going to happen tonight.

I wasnt mad or upset at the fact that my dad came to the graduation. Im actually happy because he stepped up to the plate and came for Kaden/his son. But just with everything i wish my mom would have told me in advance so i could have been my prepared and ready to see him and be semi close with him. The older i get the less and less i forget about the "things" that happened between me and my dad but i will never forget them sadly... but with age comes knowledge. More knowledge of the things he did and this causes more emotional the physical scarring... I really do want to talk to my dad but, i dont want to ruin the night. Its supposed to be a happy celebration not a giant cluster fuck. But i want to see him as little as possible, so sadly. I think i need to make up my mind. Its gonna be talk now or for ever hold my peace. We pulled into my driveway and we were the first group back but shortly everyone pulled in behind us.

"That felt like the longest car ride ever..." I said in a weak voice.

"Its because the emotions Raebug." Dylan said as my dad walked pass the car with everyone else. I felt a tear on my cheek. "Remember, anything you let me know" he said as he kissed my cheek and hopped out of the car.

I wiped my face and jumped out of the car. It was hot an humid out, i grabbed Dylan's hand and we walked into my house into the nice air conditioning! I wanted to change into a more party appropriate outfit so when we got inside i went upstairs to change. I decided to put my hair in a bun and wash my face since i had been crying. I changed into a pair of white shorts and my class of '14 shirt on and went in my bathroom. I threw my hair in a bun and turned on the sink and grabbed some soap. As i was scrubbing my face a heard footsteps in the hallway, i stopped scrubbing my face and froze in my spot.

"Hello?" I said, no answer.
"Hello...?" I said louder still answer, i started to freak.
"Hel-hell-hello?" I was almost in tears, but still no one answered. The foot steps grew louder and louder.
"Dylan this isnt funny!" I yelled hoping it was Dylan just messing with me, still nothing.

I quickly rinsed my face and dried it with a towel. I walked out of the bathroom into my room and grabbed the baseball bat by my dresser... What?!?! Who knows whos in my room/hallway. Right as i got to grab the door knob my door opens and i scream at the top of my lungs....
*insert mental sound of a screech* as i screamed i swung the bat and hit something/someone and heard a yell and a thud. With tears streaming from my face i look down to see Dylan laying on the ground with tears in his eyes holding his side.

"OH MY GOD DYLAN!!! ARE YOU OKAY?!?! IM SO SORRY BABY I THOUGHT YOU WERE-" Dylan cut me off.

"It-it-its o-okay Raebug" he gasped out of breath. "I-i was sho-showing your d-dad" Dylan couldnt finish his sentence, i hit him really hard on the side thinking it was my dad...

"He was trying to show me around. Your mom asked him if he could." My dad said. I hadnt even realized he was there, i jumped and screamed again. Then Kaden, Aubrey and my mom came running up the stairs.

"Whats going on? I heard Raelynn scream twice!" Kaden said. At this point i was like hyperventilating and Dylan was still laying on the floor hunched over in pain, also out of breath.

"Imm f-ff-fine" i stuttered trying to calm down.

"Im not" Dylan gasped.

"What happened?" My mom asked. Dylan started to try and talk but he couldnt without groaning in pain.

"Shhh... Its okay" i said as i held his hand.

"Well Dylan was kindly showing me around like you asked. And he went to open Raedoo- (he paused. He was about to call me by the nickname he gave me when i was little but he thought twice about it and kept going) Raelynn's door, he opened the door and Rae screamed and swung the bat and hit Dylan in the side." My dad said to my mom.

"Why did you have a bat Raelynn?!?" My mom asked. I heard someone walking in the hallway and i was calling 'hello hello?' And no one answered i got scared! So i grabbed my bat and when the door opened my reaction was to swing! I didnt do it on purpose!" I cried. At this point Dylan was still on the floor and i was sitting next to him.

"Okay okay, everyone relax. Everything that happened was an accident." My mom walked over to me and Dylan. "Dylan where did you get hit and where do you hurt?" Said asked.

"O-on my ri-ribs on the si-side" he groaned, i felt horrible i really hurts him.
My mom lifted his shirt to look at his side and he was already starting to bruise.

"Okay you need to go to the hospital, we need to get checked out. Come on guys help me get him off the floor." My mom said.

"No no Lisa really im f-fine, i dont want to ruin the night." This was the first sentence he had said with almost no stutter.

"Dylan! Its bad! Please just go!" I begged feeling awful.

"Raebug i'll be f-" we went to move him as he was talking and groaned in pain.

"No Dylan your not fine!"

"Dylan, its fine. I'll bring you to the hospital you and me. Mom, dad, Aubrey, stay here an start getting stuff ready Rae and i will bring Dylan to the hospital. If people show up before we're back just tell them ill be back soon" Kaden said, Everyone nodded and they all went back downstairs.

"Okay we need to carry him to the car do you think you can do that with me?" Kaden asked.

"Yes" i said quickly and quietly.

"On the count of 3 pick him up okay. 1-2-....3"
Dylan moaned and groaned as we picked him up. One of us on each side of him, we carried him down the stairs and out to Kaden's car. We laid him across the backseat and we hopped in the front. The drive felt like forever! Every bump we hit Dylan cried in pain from the backseat, i was holding his hand and telling him everything would be fine.
We pulled up to the hospital and Kaden parked in the front.

"Sit him up in the backseat im gonna go get a nurse and a wheel chair." Kaden said

"Okay." I opened the back door and lifted him so he was sitting up right and i sat next to him.

"Im soo sorry Dylan." I started crying again.

"Its not your fault Raebug. You were just scared and i know who and what you thought it was and what was gonna happen i understand its fine." Dylan said as he grabbed my hand, just then Kaden came out with 3 nurses and a wheel chair.

I got out of the car and stood next to Kaden so i wasnt in the way. Dylan yelled in pain everytime they moved him. They got him in the wheel chair and brought him inside, i held his hand the whole time. We got to the inside doors and the nurses stopped.

"Miss, you cant come with us you need to stay here."

"Why? I dont want to leave him." I cried, Kaden came over an whispered in my ear that was their job and to let him go and we would be back with him soon.

"Raebug, i'll be fine i'll see you in a little bit." Dylan said as he looked at me with all seriousness in his eyes.

"Okay..." I kissed his cheek and went to sit with Kaden.

I leaned my head on Kaden's shoulder, i was crying and he was rubbing my back.

"You should really talk to him if its really bothering you." He said

"I know"

"So why dont you?"

"Its just not that easy Kaden, you dont understand." I cleared my throat.

"I might not understand what you went through but i do know you need an answer and you deserve one." He stated.

"I know... Your right, i was thinking of talking to him until all this happened."

"I think you should still talk to him. But maybe later before he leaves so its not so weird the whole time if it gets weird." Kaden said wiping the tears from my face.

"Im sorry i ruined your day Kaden"

"You didnt ruin my day, i love you you can be annoying but never ruin a day Rae." Kaden said with a smile, this made me laugh. "There she is!"
We both started laughing.
About 15/20 minutes passed and one of the nurses came back out.

"People here for Mr. O'Brien" she asked. I jumped up and ran over to her.

"Yes thats us" i said as Kaden came up behind me.

"You can see him now, but i worn you hes highly medicated so he could be a little loopy." The nurse spoke. We followed her to Dylan's room. When we got in there was a doctor in the room and Dylan in a bed. Kaden, the doctor and i introduced our selves and then we started talking about Dylan.

"So you see over here he broke his 4 lower ribs on his left side. He said he was hit by a baseball bat?" The doctor said the last part as more of a question.

"Yes, we were having a graduation party for my brother and I didnt know what was going on and long story short i thought there was like a robber or something in the house and grabbed my bat as my weapon and when he opened the door not knowing it was him i swung and him him." I said sadly.

"Well i would be sorry for any sucker who would mess with you cause you hit him pretty hard." The doctor laughed. "We gave him a brace and a med. prescription and some pain killers for now. Here get this from the pharmacy and he should be good. Ribs take time i would make an app. With an orthopedic for a follow up but you guys can leave now."

"Okay thank you doctor." I said
Dylan got dressed with the help of me and Kaden. Tonight wasnt gonna get better and time soon.
