Only My Lunatic Fringe

Chapter 29: Kathleen.

Kat's POV.

I flutter my eyes open and take in my surroundings.

White walls, bedding and furniture are all neatly aligned.

Hospital.

I sit up and take a sip of water and try to get my thoughts straight.

Smackdown, Battle Royale, Alexa, Kidnapped, Calleigh.

After that it goes blank.

I stand up and walk to the end of the bed where my hospital file is.
As I walk, I feel a pain in my lower parts, but I dismiss it.

Gosh, my file is really thick.

I scan through the words and sentences in the file. The words are foreign, but all I can make out is gunshot wound to the stomach.

Patient was in distress and in second trimester of pregnancy. She delivered on scene.

This can't possibly be my file. I am or well was not pregnant. They probably mixed my file with another patient's.

But then right on the top of the page is neatly written Katherine Amara Royce.

No, this isn't my file. I shake my head and dismiss it as mine. I walk pver to the door and when I'm open it, I'm tempted to laugh at the sight.

There scattered on the couches and stairs in the waiting room are Randy, Roman, Seth, Sasha, Nikki, Brie and lastly Dean.

He is here.

Sasha stirs and her eyes shoot open and then she stares at me.

"Oh my gosh, Kat!" She yells and runs over to me. She hugs me very carefully and then ushers me back in.

"You can't be on foot, you need to rest." She reprimands me and lays me back in bed.

"How long was I out?" I ask her.

"About 12 hours. We were all here the whole time." She says and smiles at me.

"Wow, I don't even know what to say." I mumble and smile at the thought of them being here the whole time.

Then I remember about my hospital file and questioningly look at her.

"I my hospital file-" I start, but then I'm cut off when the door opens and everyone rushes in.

"Kat!"

I smile at them and then the shoving to hug me begins.

After everyone got a hug in Dean clears his throat. Everyone nods at him in an understanding manner and walks out.

"Hey, Kat." He says and kiss me on the head.

"Hey." I whisper and lean into his touch.

"So, I need to tell you something." He says and sits down next to me.

The seriousness of his tone made my ears pick up.

"You're not breaking up with me, right?" I ask amusingly.

"What, no, of course not." He chuckles, but I can see it is strained.

I raise an eyebrow at him and he releases a shaky breath.

"When we found you, Calleigh, she tried to shoot Alexa, but you dived in front of her."

I look at hin to figure out where he is going with this...

"And she shot you in the stomach instead." He says and stops to take my hand and look me in the eye.

"And....?" I ask quizzically.
