Cassidys POV
I sit in my empty hospital room. It was ten o'clock.
Two doctors walk in and greet me.
"Morning Cassidy. We are going to take you to the surgery room now"
"Ok"
They grab either side of my bed and push it out and down the hall.
Cassidys Moms POV
I sit in agony, waiting for a call that never comes.
Millions of thoughts run through my mind as I think about the past year as a whole.
Cassidy had grown and fallen.
Dave came and stood next to me as he gently placed a kiss on my check.
"She'll be ok Mary" his soft voice travels around the empty room.
A small tear falls down my face, tickling each part of skin it touches.
I hope that Cassidy will be ok. And if I must pray to the God I have forgotten existed, I will.
The phone rings and my heart skips a beat. I pick it up with slowly and put it to my face.
Mary "H-hello?"
Woman "Hello. Is this Mary?"
Mary "Speaking.."
Woman "Hi Mary. I'm doctor Delbow from St Plunkets Hospital. We have some news regarding your daughter Cassideanas surgery"
Mary "Please tell me it went ok. Is she alive?
Woman "Yes ma'am. We have successfully removed the led from your daughter and she is ready to begin healing"
Mary "Oh thank you... thank you so so much
Woman "No problem ma'am. Have a nice day"
I hang up and burst into tears. I look up at Dave who's eyes are fixated on me, begging for an answer
"So... is she ok?" He asks desperately
I smile through my tears and nod. He wraps his arms around my and holds me close.
Colby's POV
"I just got a call from the hospital... Cass is alive and awake" Crystal says as she runs into the room
I smile and Sam does too.
"Come on. Let's go see her"
We get in the car and drive to her. She was healthy. And now, she was getting back on track.
****
We had spent the past couple of hours talking and playing stupid games. It was about ten now.
Crystal and Sam were leaving. But I decided to stay with Cass.
"So. How have you been?" I ask out of awkwardness
"Good thanks"
"Cass... can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure"
"You did see who hurt you... didn't you?" I say looking into her eyes. Waiting for her answer
She pauses and thinks.
"I-I... Yes" she says silently as she hangs her head in shame.
"Who was it Cass. Tell me please"
"It was... it was Jack"
My heart stops just hearing his name. I glare down at my hands and they start shaking with pure anger.
I contain myself and act calmly to Cassidy.
"You have to tell the detective" I say gritting my teeth.
"Why? Why should I?"
"Because if you don't... I'm gonna fucking kill him. And you know that"
She turns her head away from me.
"I'm sorry" she whispers.
I look at her hands. They are shaking. She was scared.
"Let's just... talk about something else" I say
"Agreed"
