Madi POV
I woke up in Christian's arms. I was nuzzled into his bare chest and he had his chin on my head, snoring. I turned around slightly and looked at the clock. It was only 9:30, which was odd because Christian usually gets up early. I leaned up until we were face to face. "Christian." I whispered to him. He stopped snoring and slightly opened his eyes. He is such a light sleeper.
"Hey babe. How'd you sleep?" He asked, groggily. He reached his hand from around my waist to rub his eyes.
"I had a bad dream but other than that it was fine. You?"
"It was great because you were here." He said, smiling and kissed my forehead. He was so sweet.
Then he got a serious look on his face, and I remembered. We had to go visit Caitlin today. I wondered if she had woken up or if she was still in a coma. Oh how I wish she had woken up. I couldn't bear to see her just laying there, with tubes sticking out of her arms, silent. It would be terrible. Horrifying really. It just makes you wonder if she was going to make it or not, and I know thinking like this wasn't going to help how worried I was but I just couldn't stop. I wanted my best friend back.
"Let's get up." Christian said, looking down at me and kissing my forehead again.
"Okay."
So we got up. My parents were away on some business meeting thing for the weekend, so Christian didn't have to sneak past anybody to get to his clothes. I was trying to decide what to wear. No doubt it was going to be chilly, stupid Canada weather. So I put on dark blue skinny jeans, my Uggs, a plain white tee shirt, and my black North Face jacket. Christian came up in jeans and a t-shirt. "You ready?" he asked.
"No." I sighed. I sat down on the bed, running my hands over my face. I do this when I get worried. "I don't want to see her like that again."
"I know you don't and neither do I! But we have to be there for her. She needs us right now, okay?"
I nodded. It was time to be strong, for my best friend.
Caitlin POV
Nurses kept coming and going out of my room. I had woken up yesterday after that dream, only to realize that thats what happened before he buried me, I was just reliving it. He had told me, before he did it, that this is what he needed to do to let me go so I could help him with..Jessica I think her name was. Yes, that's it. I had to be buried, and in a coma when the police found me. "Why a coma?" I had asked.
"Because it'll be more realistic, they'll believe that the attacks are getting worse. But after you get out of the hospital, that starts your two weeks. Remember you have to protect my identity, not just bring me information about Jessica. Here." He hands me a cellphone. "This is for contacting me. Don't use your personal one or we'll both get in big trouble, okay?"
"Okay, I understand."
It was almost morning, there were police around the area and a few hoodlums, but other than that it was a completely empty parking lot. He began to dig my shallow grave. I watched him as he dug. He was quite attractive. Looked about my age. I didn't want to get feelings for a mass murderer but...no, Caitlin stop. Focus on getting out of this mess, I had told myself. Just as the sun was rising, he stuffed my in the hole, whispered goodbye, and covered me back up with the dirt. One sharp piece grazed my cheek and I bit in a scream. It hurt. It felt like a knife, almost. It was only 30 minutes later that I realized I should just give up on trying to breathe, so i did. And i drifted off.....
"Caitlin? Caitlin!" A nuse said, bringing me out of my flashback.
"Y-yes?" I asked. My voice sounded scratchy, I hadn't used it in a while I guess.
"Someone is here to see you." She stepped aside, revealing my brother and Madi. Oh I was so glad to see them.
"You're awake! I was so worried I had no idea if you were going to be awake. Oh Caitlin I'm so glad you're okay. Tell us what happened, who did this to yo-" Christian cut her off by putting his lips to hers. She was rambling again.
I couldn't tell them, even though I wanted to. "I don't remember." I simply say. By the look on their faces, they bought it. But there was still a slight determination in their eyes.
"Just try. Please. The police need to know. They've already questioned the other victim. She just said it was dark, she couldn't see his face, he came out of nowhere, didn't say anything. She wasn't much help. They NEED you Caitlin." Christian said. But that didn't matter, HE needed me too, whatever his name was. And I don't know why, but I wasn't going to turn him into the police, like the good girl everyone thought I was. Maybe that was it. Maybe I was so fed up with everyone tagging me as 'innocent' and 'sweet'. I wanted all that to change, for some reason.
"Sorry, Christian. I really just don't remember. I'll try though." No I wouldn't. Why was I lying to them? I shouldn't be lying to them. This may be harder than I thought.
"Okay. We're just glad you're okay. Do you know when you're getting out of here?" Madi asked, giving in.
At that moment, the doctor came in. "Hello, Caitlin. I would just like to let you know that you are good to go. You can leave tomorrow." He said, nodding to me and walked out.
"Does that answer your question?" I said, chuckling.
They laughed. "Yes. Hey Caitlin, we're going to go now. Please have the hospital call us if you need anything." Christian said, leaning down and kissing my forehead. He was really worried. Wow.
They turned around and waved, Madi mouthing, "Love you." as they left. I missed them. Loads. I can't wait to get out of this mess.
Justin POV
I woke up at like 11:00. Whoa. That's like 10 hours that I slept. I never sleep that late. Weird. i sat up in my bed, thinking about what had happened last night. I could still feel her lips lingering on mine, or maybe I just wanted to believe that..but either way. I got up and walked over to my closet, picking out something to wear. i just picked out my usual, saggy jeans, supras and a t-shirt. I turned around to go get changed.....but someone was sitting on my bed.
