Katelyn_____

Calum and I spent a total of three hours at the hospital, doing routine check ups and stitching up the stab wound. The doctor started asking questions so I said that I had made a horrible mistake while cooking at school. She doesn't need to know I don't attend a cooking class. When she asks why I had a switchblade I panicked and said it was because the teacher was out of proper kitchen knifes. I'm going to need to clean it when I get home.

Speaking of arriving home, Calum had just dropped me off and I was not looking forward to facing Liz and Andy. After sneakily opening the door and quietly shutting it, I tried to tip toe up to the steps and just before I could start climbing, someone called out to me. I bite my lip and close my eyes before turning on my heel and walking into the family room. Liz and Andy are sitting on the three seater while Luke sits on the two seater. Andy motions for me to sit down and I unseeingly slide the switchblade into my pocket. I place my bag down beside the couch before taking a seat next to Luke.

"Anything you want to tell us that happened today? Luke, you can go first." Liz says.

"Well, nothing really. I spent sometime with Calum at lunch trying on our new 'Red Hot Chili Peppers' shirts. And class was boring today as well," is all Luke says.

"Well then, Katelyn. Mind telling us anything interesting that happened?" Andy asks me. My best bet is that they already know, might as well make it interesting.

"Well, you see. Funny story actually. Luna and I were hanging out on the field at lunch because we decided to get some fresh air. It was a beautiful day, barely any clouds, we were just chillin before last period's English class when suddenly I started having an attack. Now naturally, my first thought is tell someone so I told Luna and she tried helping, didn't really work. She tried stopping me from scratching up my wrists and, well, that didn't really help either. I sort of, may have, attacked her and her reaction was to stab me with a switchblade. Calum drove me to the hospital and I've been there ever since." By the look on their faces they did not expect all that. Whoops.

"And you didn't think to call us?" Liz says.

"In my defense," I start while raising my hand. "Michael has my phone so you should be consulting Calum about that."

"To bed, the both of you. NOW!" Andy commands. Don't need to tell me twice. I bolt up the steps and into my room. Luke enters shortly after.

"How bad?" He asks. My response is pulling up my shirt to show him the stitching. "Yikes. That bad huh?"

"15 stitches. Luna has a pretty sharp knife, which I need to clean." I pull the blade out and place on my bed side table. Luke grabs it and says he'll clean it. Doesn't want me to get any kind of ideas. I bid him goodnight before changing into pajamas and falling asleep.

Calum____

I walk into the flat and see Ash and Mike staring straight at me. "Everything alright lads?"

"Where have you been Cal? People were saying you disappeared at lunch. Mind enlightening us?" Ash asks. I look between the two faces, debating wither it would be worth it to tell them the truth. If I don't someone will, most likely drugged Katelyn. Or a freaked out Luna. One or the other.

"Uhh, yeah. I had to run an errand?" I say unsure. So much for telling the truth. Ash raises an eyebrow at me and I know he isn't buying it. I huff before speaking again. "Promise me you won't be angry at Luna."

"Why would we need to be?" Michael questions.

"I took Katelyn to the hospital. 15 stitches in her side. Luna stabbed her."

"WHAT! WHY" Michael bursts.

"That part, I do not know. She wouldn't talk about it. She made up some lame as story in the hospital and refused to tell me the real one. Sorry mate. Ask her tomorrow. She's probably asleep by now."

That's exactly what he did. As soon as we got to school us three went looking for Katelyn and Luna. Whoever we found first we were questioning. Luke wasn't with us, he didn't catch a ride in with us. Something about helping his mum with work supplies and she needed 'man' power. Katelyn would've been just as useful. Luke probably knows already what happened. He wasn't answering his phone. Only sent us the one text.

"LUNA!" Michael bellows as soon as he spots the brunette girl. She locks eyes at us and they go wide. We march over to her and Michael grabs her arm before pulling her into the first empty classroom we see. "Why did you stab my sister yesterday." Michael demands while gripping both her shoulders.

"It was an accident, like I told Calum. Force of habit."

"Yeah yeah, what kind of habit leads you to stab someone." I almost shout.

"She started to have an attack. I tried to help, I really did. But like with Ashton, the monster chant didn't work and they only got stronger. We were yelling and screaming. I tried to stop her from scratching and instead she lunged at me. She tried to grab my neck and that's when I stabbed her."

"Then what did you do?" Ash urges.

"Made sure she was alright then ran to find one of you guys. I found Calum and Luke first."

"Then I took her to the hospital and she got stitches." I finish for her.

"Hey guys, what kind of interrogation is going on here?" Luke says while he enters the room with a nervous Katelyn in tow. Michael immediately spots her and runs to hug her.

"I was so worried," is all I hear him mumble.

"Asking Luna what happened because no one told us!" Ash explains.

"Sorry Calum for not telling you. I was trying to get my head around it myself." Katelyn says sheepishly while hugging Michael's side.

"Oh yeah, Luna. Here's your knife back. I cleaned it for you." Luke says. Luna immediately blushes. Aww, she's so cute. Little freshman with a crushy wushy. Mike asks to see the wound and we all marvel at the massive gouge that takes up part of Katelyn's side.

The bell rings and Ash basically states that we are all to met at the table for morning tea. Then we part out separate ways.
