Dear Future Husband - A Kick Fanfiction

Be Okay

Nick's POV

I stopped outside the dark and foreboding house, filled with fear.
Please be okay, please be okay. I kept repeating in my head as I dashed out of the car and into the huge house.
'Kath?' I called. 'Katherine?!'

What if was too late??

I heard a scream coming from a door in the hallway, so I followed the noise.

As I headed into the basement, I saw Katherine throw Rebecca off her, and Rebecca slumped over onto the floor.

With a rush of relief, I realised she was okay.

Then I really saw her.
She was deathly pale, and on her right ankle was a deep cut and on her left leg was an even bigger and deeper cut.
What had Rebecca done to her??

I rushed over to Katherine. 'Kath?'

'Nick??' She said weakly. She was clearly struggling to stay conscious.

'It's okay. I'm here.' I pulled her into my arms, just as she lost consciousness.

'No, no, Kath, stay with me! Please, don't leave me!' I sobbed. 'Please be alright. I'll do anything.' I checked her pulse. It was very weak.

Out the corner of my eye, I saw Rebecca stir.
She whimpered in pain and then saw me, her eyes widening. 'Nick, Katherine tried to kill me! She brought me here-'

'Save your breath.' I interrupted. 'The alpha team will be here soon.'

I held onto Katherine, praying she was okay, as the alpha team finally arrived.
'You take Katherine to the hospital, we'll take care of Rebecca.' Hollins said.

'I'll drive you there, you're in no fit state to drive.' Kyle said.

I nodded and picked her up, bridal style and followed Kyle out without a backward glance at Rebecca.

Kyle drove us to the hospital as fast as possible.
When he pulled up, I got out the car, still carrying Katherine. Kyle followed me in.

Shocked eyes followed us as we entered the crowded reception area and a doctor rushed over to us. 'What happened sir?'

'Please help her!' I demanded. 'If you don't save her I'll kill you.' I knew I was being unreasonable, but she was my ​everything. I couldn't lose her.

'We'll do everything we can sir.' He assured me as another doctor rushed over with a bed and I lowered her onto it.

I watched them rush into the operating room, shouting 'we need to get the wound closed as quick as possible!' and I put my head in my hands.

'Nick, mate, do you want a coffee?' Kyle asked, putting a hand on my shoulder.

'No, I don't want a fucking coffee.' I snapped.

He looked taken aback. 'Nick-'

'This is your fault! Your fault she's like this!' I snarled, not caring about the people watching us.

He looked confused.

'You should have stayed with her when you took her home! Waited til I got back!' I snapped at him. 'It's your fault she's here!'

I went and threw myself into a chair.

He sat next to me. I instantly felt guilty for having a go at him.
'I'm sorry.' I muttered. 'I know it's not your fault. I'm just worried about her.'

'It's fine mate. I get it.' He replied. 'Don't worry about it. Just concentrate on your wife now.'

3 hours later

Will rushed over. 'Dad, what's going on? I got a call from Hollins, saying you found Katherine, and that you were both at the hospital-'

'Yes, we found her.' I said wearily. 'She's had to have surgery on her leg and her ankle, your mum tortured her. She's out surgery now, we're just waiting for news.'

At that moment, a doctor came over. 'Mr Clarke. You can see her now.'

'Is she okay?' I asked urgently.

'Yes, the surgery was successful. However, she has lost a lot of blood, so she's​ had to​ have a blood transfusion.' He explained. 'She's still not awake, but you can see her.' He noticed Will. 'Sorry, who are you?'

'My son.' I said.

'Okay. You can see your mum now.' He said sympathetically.

Will looked confused, and I watched as he realised what the doctor said. 'Wait, she's not-'

I nudged Will to shut up and we followed the doctor to her room.

When we went in, she was still quite pale, but she looked better.

We both sat in the chairs next to her bed.
I took her hand. 'Please be okay Kath. I can't do this without you. I need you. We need you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me and I love you.'

'I love you too.'

I looked up. Katherine was smiling slightly, obviously just woken up. 'I love you Nick Clarke.'

'I love you Katherine.' I sobbed. She finally said it. She told me she loved me.

'I am so sorry.' Katherine said, tears filling her eyes. 'For almost taking myself away from you. I couldn't bear it being without you.'

'Me neither. It was killing me.' I replied.

Will cleared his throat. We both looked at him.

'Hi Will.' Katherine said.

'Hi.' He grinned. 'You nearly gave us a scare there, step-mum.'

She smiled. 'I'm sorry kiddo.'

Eve and KT entered the room. 'Katherine!' Eve went over and gently hugged her.

'Mummy.' KT hugged her too.

Katherine grinned. 'Hi you two. Will, join the hug.'

Will chuckled and joined the group hug.

I smiled. Everything was going to be fine.
