"Kill who Kerri?"I Ask, as I find Kerri in the hallway at the studio, and she sighs,

"I've gotta go Carter, Brantley's probably going to find out.."She sighs, and she waits a few moments, before bringing the phone off of her ear.

"Who are we going to kill if it's about Carter?"I growl, as my brass rings lay on my fingers and Kerri sighs.

"Your not going to Jail And so help me god if you do I'm going to call mama."She threatens, and my face goes pale, "Im not goin' to jail Kerri."

"John, Her ex boyfriend broke into her apartment early this morning, around one, and Trashed her apartment, hundred, a thousand dollars worth of damage. Carter found out around Five, and might have broken her hand,"By now I'm already fuming, "The two got into a fight the night of the CMA's And She's been tryin' to get rid of him for almost a year now."

"I'm goin' to Boston."I grumble, as I start walkin' out.

"Tell Carter I'll be there tomorrow!" Kerri calls out, and I walk out,  going to my truck, and driving to the airport, catching a flight to Boston

"Brant what's up?"Carter asks, as I exit Logan Airport, And I sigh in relief.

"I'm in Boston, And I just got your text message Darlin', can you have your mama meet me downstairs, when I get there?"I Ask and there's a moment of silence.

"Yeah BG, mama will meet you downstairs, by the way, by the time you get here, I might be loopy because they're going to give me pain meds."She laughs and I Chuckle.

"Alright darlin' I'll see you then,"I can already picture the smile on her face.

"Bye Brantley."And with that the line goes dead, and I find my way around to the purple line for the MBTA.

One note you'll ever learn about Carter and Boston.

Take the T if your ever going somewhere because it's hell to get through traffic drivin'.

It takes a bit for me to get to the purple line, and when I do, Carter told me to take the purple line to Franklin, and her Mama texted me, telling me her brother would pick me up in a pickup truck.

As I hop off the train, my phone starts blaring That's my Kind Of night, And I answer the phone call, only to be greeted by yelling.

"Why In God's Name am I hearing Carter's in the hospital! And her apartment was broken into?!" Caroline yells, and I chuckle.

"It's good to talk to you too Caroline."I joke as I find a pickup truck, with a guy leaning up against it, and he smiles.

"Brantley?"He Asks And I nod shaking his hand.

"Jason,"He smiles, and I nod, "hold on Caroline."

I place my phone in my pocket, before Jason opens his back door, revealing a little girl, who looks exactly like Jason, "and this is Elise."

"Who's that?"Elise questions and I chuckle.

"My names Brantley sweetheart, I'm best friends with your auntie." Her mouth goes wide, before nodding, "So your the one who Auntie kept talking about to Nana."

"Hop in BG."Jason chuckles, and I hop in the passenger seat, as Jason hops back in the drivers seat.

"I have one condition for you Mr.Brantley."Elise starts, and I smile, looking back towards her.

"And what's that Ms.Elise?"I Ask, And she gives me a cheeky smile.

"You hurt my auntie, things aren't going to be pretty."She threatens, and me and Jason start cracking up laughing.

"I'm serious!"She whines and I nod.

"I know you are Sweetheart, but the reason why me and your Daddy are laughin' is because I've never been threatened by a four year old."I laugh and she places a hand on her hip, "Well now you have."

"Also if your a Canadians or Yankees fan, you can leave the truck."She sasses, And I chuckle.

"Don't worry, as I told your Auntie Carter, I'm a braves fan, and if anything, I'm a predators fan."I chuckle, as Jason just shakes his head.

"Well the bruins are better."She argues, and I nod.

"I bet they are."

"What Elise said,"Jason starts, "About Carter, if you hurt her things ain't gonna be pretty."

"I have no intention on hurting Carter."I admit and he nods in approval.

"What did Kerri Tell you?"He Asks as we start to pull up to a hospital.

"She told me most of what happened with her ex, how he broke in and how carters in the hospital now."I Explain And he nods, as we search for a parking spot.

"Did She Tell you anything else?"He Asks And I shake my head.

"Kerri never told me how Carter broke her hand, how did she even do that?"I Ask, and Jason laughs..

"She decided to punch our mothers counter, not hard enough to break the counter, or even crack it, but she broke a bone in her hand, and now has to have a screw put in it." Jason laughs, and I shake my head.

"Damn Carter got Muscles."I remarked, as we hopped out of the truck, and Jason got Elise out of the back of the truck, and we made our way inside, with me tugging down the rim of my cap to shade my eyes.

We find out Carters room number, and make our way to room 304, to find carter with a sleepy smile plastered on her face.

"Brantley!"She smiles, and I chuckle, saying hello to her mom before sitting on the edge of her hospital bed.

"Hey Darlin'"I chuckle, as her brown eyes light up, and she giggles..

"My hand is so screwed up at the moment."
