I love you baby.

Chapter 8

I don't think I had ever worried so much about anyone in my life before. Let alone two people. Two people I had grown up with.

It was going to be alright; it just had to be. I can't live without those two boys. And I can't believe Kyle would ever do a thing like that but I guess I was wrong. I was wrong that I could say I trusted him, or ever thought about it. I was wrong to trust him not to hurt anybody I loved. Kyle is just.

I curled up and began sobbing in the back of the ambulance.

"Hey its gonna be alright" Ronnies arm was around my shoulder and I lost it right there and right then.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have ever gotten involved with Ronnie, and this would never have happened."

"hey kim, its not your fault. If anything its his. He is an ass, and you need to realize its not your fault. We just need to worry about the boys right now and make sure they are okay."

I sniffed "Okay."

We arrived at the hospital. Alex had regained concisnious; and Austin was up and asking what the hell had happened.

As calm as we could; Ronnie and I tried expalining in detail what had happened but not being there didn't help. We really only said "Kyle had came to teach them a lesson" and all of them had been knocked out. Kyle was still in the other ambulance being taken to the hospital.

They wheeled both the boys into the ER, and i follwed Alex, and Ronnie follwed Ausitn. Kyle was behind us stil not breathing on his own. THey rushed him ahead of us.

I stood by Alex as they checked all his vitals, and looked for broken bones. By the time the night was over it was clear he had broken his leg, and had to have stitches above his eye brow, other than that my Alex was going to be fine. They had given him some pretty strong pain killers and were going to keep him till morning to make sure he sets up well.

Carrie ran by us and made sure we were all okay, and then trudded off to work.

It was 12:30 the next day when I finally got all the boys home. Ronnie, Austin, and Alex. They were all keeping something from me and said they would talk to me the moment we got home and in the safety of our own house.

"hey kimmy; when you were passed out in the chair next to me they came in and said that Kyle had passed away in the night." Alex bit his lip.

I hesitated. "He died?"

"His lungs were punctured and blood filled them and he drowned."

I turned toward them all. "I feel for him; but I'm just thankful that it wasn't any of you guys; it could have easily of been you as it wash him"

And then a group hug filled the room and everyone had tears in their eyes.

Once we broke way from the hug; "So how is everybody holding up.?" I looked at alex. "You feeling any pain from your leg?" then at Austin "Hows your lip? And your head?"

They all just smiled and then we all sat on the couch and explained plans of court, and how to deal with the Kyle situation, and how to heal without getting hurt.

Later that night I was sleeping on the couch and found myself thinking. I poked alex "hey babe?"

"Yeah?"

"What if this never goes away?"

"What if what never goes away?"

"Guilt. I feel like all this wouldnt have happened if i'd just done what kyle wanted me to do"

"Kimmy you know he would've hurt you beyond belief and you would be dead or close to it." came austins's booming and stern tone.

I sighed and hugged alex closer to me.

~* bam. Finally got that part finished!
