She's A Dancing Daredevil // Ivan Martinez

10. {Road Tripping}

Kaine's POV

Its been about a month since my accident and since then I have gotten the cast taken off, and the stitches taken out. Over this month I have recieved so much bad news. My dad decided to go back to the Navy as the Captain. I also found out the person who hit me was the person who killed my mom. So now I have been put under protective custody. I cant go anywhere Im pretty much stuck inside of the Team10 house. Everybody has been keeping me company by always having at least one person in the house with me at all times.

Today was one of the days where I can actually leave the house. We were going to Las Vegas and I had to talk to the court and everything but they let me go. Erika, Nick, Tessa, The Twins and I were taking the Team10 van and the others were coming tomorrow on a plane. I love road trips, the scenary you get to see, the time you get to sleep without people bothering you, the amount of music you can listen to and just the people you get to travel with.

We packed everything in the car and got in. I sat in the way back with Ivan. Yes everyone soon found out that we were dating so it was only fitting that we sat together.

I was looking out the window into the bare distance of the highway tracing my hand over my very large scar on my leg. A few minutes later my phone started ringing, I didnt really recognize the caller ID but I answered it anyway.

(U- Unknown, K- Kaine)

K- Hello
U- Hello is this Kaine Ruzek
K- Yes this her speaking
U- Im calling from the United States Naval Corp and Im here to inform you that the ship your father Captain Adam Ruzek is currently on has been hit by a unknown missile and as of right now your father has not been accounted for
K- You got to be kidding me right?
U- No Ma'am we will let you know as soon as we find anything thank you for you time goodbye

(End Of Call)

I hung up the phone and wanted to break something but instead I started crying. Since my mom died my life has been filled with tragedy.

Nobody said anything because they learned when something hits me like this I will talk about it when I want to talk about. Ivan opened his arms and brought me closer to him. He put one of his hands on my back and the other in my hair while I just let out every tear that I had.

I couldnt take anymore bad news. If I did I would break and with my PTSD I can have major panic attacks. The last time I had a panic attack was a couple days after my mom's funeral.

I feel like I was on the verge of having a mental break down. But I didnt want to because I wanted to have fun this weekend. This was one of the only times where I could go outside and not be stuck behind four walls. I made a promise to myself that I was going to have the time of my life in Vegas.
