Cat's POV:

The three of us just sat there in silence, nobody uttering a single word.

Amelia held Max in her arms while brushing her fingers through his hair.

While I sat at the corner of the cell away from the light and away from them, wanting to be away from Max.

Max didn't dare to look at me or say anything. I know that he's so ashamed of what he did with me.

He should be ashamed and guilty because he literally put his own sister in front of dangers way.

Even if we weren't real siblings he still put me in dangers way without even feeling any sympathy towards me.

He knew what I'll could go through if he gave me to them but he still did it.

The things that happened to me here affected my whole life. I'm not the innocent girl I was before all of this.

Every time I sleep without Xavier, nightmares fill my sleep. When I wake up after every nightmare, I just sit on the bed crying my eyes out, trying to breath normally and trying to get rid of the horrible images stuck in my mind.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice that someone came into our cell and was talking to me.

I looked up and saw two of Brad's men "I said get up bitch!" he said.

From the corner of my eye, I saw his leg moving to kick me. I immediately covered my stomach and turned on my side so his leg connected with my back instead of my stomach.

I groaned in pain but I was also relieved that I turned just in time.

"Don't kick her you bastard!" I heard Amelia saying as she got up and came to crouch beside me.

The man just laughed and pushed her away from me, he then pulled me up by my arms and the two men started dragging me outnof the cell.

I fought against them knowing very well what I was being dragged into.

I felt Amelia trying to get the two men away from me but it was no use.

We were just two fragile and broken women against two big men.

One moment they were pushing me out of the cell and the other moment they were both on the ground.

Amelia immediately came to my side and held me.

I saw Max on top of one of them, beating him. And the other man was getting up from the floor.

I saw the man who was getting up from the floor taking something from the back of his jeans.

Before I could even think about what I was doing, I found myself running towards my brother and hovering over his body.

I heard it before I felt it. The bullet coming out of the gun and then it hit me in my stomach. 

I fell on the floor and cried out in pain. It's like everything around me stopped and all I could feel was just pain.

A few seconds later I started hearing voices shouting all around me "Cat! Oh my god Cat! Why did you do that?" I heard my brother Max yell.

I honestly had no clue why I did that. I'm supposed to hate him, but I just found myself on top of him, taking a bullet for him.

I didn't think about anything when I did it. I didn't think about myself or my babies, I just acted out of instinct.

"M..my bab..babies" I said and at that's when I felt it.

I was bleeding not just from the wound in my stomach but from between my legs also.

I saw Amelia checking me and by the look on her face, I knew she knew that I was bleeding.

"CAT! CAT! Can you hear me?" I heard Amelia saying.

I nodded my head once and looked at her with eyes full of tears and pain "Cat focus on me okay?" she said.

I nodded and she continued "take deep breaths, I'm gonna put my hand on the wound to try and make the bleeding stop but it will hurt and I don't want you to panic, everything will be okay. You will get out of this alive and your babies too" I just nodded again at her.

I started taking deep breaths and then I screamed so loud that I was sure everyone heard it.

"I'm sorry Cat, I'm really sorry. You just need to keep taking deep breaths. Everything is gonna be okay" she said.

I just noticed that the two men from earlier weren't here anymore and the cell door was closed.

"Do you hear this Cat?" Amelia said "That's the sound of guns and shouting. It could mean that Xavier is finally here!" she said.

I focused on the sounds around me and it was really the sounds of guns shooting and people shouting.

I also heard the sound of crying. The crying of a certain person.

Max was crying. I looked at him and his eyes met mine.

I felt like I wanted to sleep so bad but Amelia was talking about Xavier which helped me stay awake.

I saw Max coming our way and he crouched beside me. He held my hand in his and then started crying harder. Amelia stopped talking and just looked at us.

I lifted my other hand and put it on Max's cheek. He started shaking his head and said "Why?! Why did you do that Cat? You threw yourself in harms way and didn't think about yourself or about that you're pregnant. You took a bullet for me, the person who threw you in danger and didn't think about you?"

"You're my brother" I said.

For some weird reason, I didn't feel any hate towards him. Even if every word he just said was true.

"You're my sister, and I still put you in danger so I won't be killed. But you did the opposite. You should have let me take that bullet instead of taking it for me. You need to stop being so kind. Tell my why did you do that! You should hate me for what I did" he said.

I wanted to tell him that I can't hate him and that I love him even after what he did and that I forgive him. But the pain started becoming unbearable.

I started screaming in pain and begging them to make the pain go away but all they did was just cry.

My abdomen and all my lower part was hurting. The pain was too much for me to handle. Not just this pain but the pain from the bullet wound.

I was losing so much blood right now that I started feeling light headed. I am trying as much as I can to stay awake but it's so hard.

I still had hope that Xavier will come and rescue me.

I want to believe that the shouts and guns shooting is because Xavier is here but I don't think so. Xavier doesn't know that we're in LA.

I heard him before he came in my line of sight. My love was here, he was really here.

He was calling my name, but it sounded so far away. I saw his face. He is here. But I know I'm just imagining things.

Things weren't supposed to turn out like that. Xavier was supposed to come and save me so we can live a happily ever after with our loved ones by our side. But things don't always turn out as we want, do they?

I felt myself slipping out of consciousness and everything around me stopped. The only thing I was able to see was the imaginary face of Xavier hovering above me before I slipped into darkness not knowing if I'll wake up again or not, and not knowing if my babies will be okay or not.
