The Secret Holders

Chapter 17

Kathryn's POV

I wake up in a strange room, with white walls and machines all around me. I groan, how could I be so weak as to get myself beat up. Humiliation burns throughout me, I'm such a loser.

I slide my phone out of my pocket, I had several messages and missed calls from Sean.

I dial back, counting the rings as if my life depended on it. He answers after 4, sounding breathless.

"Kathryn, it's Grace, something's wrong with her and I need your help!" He calls out, sobs racking his body.

"I can't lose her Kathryn, she's the only thing I have." I growl, cutting him off.

"I would advise you to tell me what happened now." I say through gritted teeth.

"She has powers of some sort, I don't know, I just need help." I sigh, looking around for the exit.

"Kind of sad I have to escape a hospital to save my best friend." I grumble, grabbing my bag and attempting to get up.

I cry out as pain fills my body, I collapse back onto the bed.

"Kathryn!? What happened!?!" Sean calls out.

I growl. "Nothing Sean, I feel like roses over here." I say sarcastically, spreading across the bed.

He laughs lightly, before growing serious again.

"What should I do?" He asks.

"Just watch her, drug her up with some Motrin and stuff, keep her temperature down, and don't kill her until I get there." I hiss, sitting up on the hospital bed. He agrees quickly, before hanging up.

I hear the door open, and I look up to see Lucas, who has bags under his eyes and looks like he got hit by a truck.

Part of me feels sympathetic, and part of me wants to rip his head off.

He makes his way to the head of the bed, his gaze on the floor.

"Kathryn, I was mad that you didn't want me, I was stupid to watch her hurt you like that. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry, I'm done with her, your the one I want." He begs, looking into my eyes.

I growl lowly.

"I can't believe you have the guts to show your face here when all of this was your fault. if you hadn't brought that whore here none of this would have happened. I thought you were better than this, I guess I was wrong. I love you and you treated me like crap, you watched your own mate get attacked and you didn't do anything. I could never forgive you for what you did to me or Grace, or even Sean! I thought you had a better side to you, I guess I was wrong. Now get out of my sight before I kill you." I snarl, glaring daggers at his hurt expression.

His head drops and he drops a letter on my lap.

"This says everything." He explains before exiting the room quietly.

Tears stream down my face endlessly, not showing any signs of stopping.

I wish I understood why he does the things he does and how I still manage to love him after all he has done to hurt me.

I loved him, and I couldn't find a way out.

I loved him.

I drifted to sleep, with thoughts of him in my mind.

I love him.

Grace's P.O.V.

I can't control myself! I'm going absolutely crazy. The dorm was smashed everywhere, there was no object left surviving.
