One Mistake After Another

Chapter 3

* at the hospital *

// Grayson's POV //

they took her back into ICU 2 hours ago and i haven't seen her since. i'm surprised that brayden hasn't shown up yet. but it just confirms what i've thought about him since day one. he doesn't truly love her ... not like i do.  my mom finally arrives with tay's little sister's and they tell us everything. about how they were never hurt because she always protected them. my mom takes them to go get some food and i call brayden again. 

"hey brayden, where are you?" i ask him. i heard a girl in the background but i ignored it. "umm obviously not there. where ever there is." he tells me and i hear giggling. "brayden your girlfriend has been in ICU for almost three hours now and you're not here. what do you think she's gonna think when people are able to visit her and you aren't there when she wakes up?" i'm starting to get really pissed off. then i hear moaning from the back. "well when you see tay, tell her i'm breaking up with her hoe ass. and i hope you're happy. because it's your fault. kayleigh told me about y'alls little thing." he hangs up the phone. 

"excuse me? sir? you can see her now, room 613" the nurse told me. i ran to her room and waited at her bedside to wake up. "b-brayden?" i heard her soft, warming voice say as she squeezed my hand"

// Taylor's POV //

"no love, it's grayson. brayden isn't coming." i heard gray say. tears streamed down my face and then i heard my little sisters come in with balloons and stuffed animals. "hey girlies!! i'm so glad you're okay!" i start crying more because they're everything to me. they might be my step sisters but i love them like they're not. "don't cry sissy" ansley says climbing in the bed with me. ashley soon follows.

 "girls, how about you ask grayson to go buy you some ice cream while i talk to taylor?" ms. anderson says "yayayay ice cream!" the girls say as they drag gray out of the room. ms. katie was like the mom i never had. seeings as i never had one. i mean there was the girls mom, but as soon as they were born, she left. "how are you feeling sweetie?" she asked me. "i'm in so much pain. everywhere. i'm asuuming the girls told y'all everything." i told her not able to make eye contact. "yes, and i called the police and they arrested preston." she told me. i was so happy. 

// Katie's POV //

as soon as the twins told me and gray what happened i called the police. i knew that preston was a bad person but i never knew it was to this extreme. i mean i had assumed that something was going on because every once and a while gray would come home telling me about how worried he would be because tay wasn't at school. i should've checked on her, maybe we could have stopped him sooner. before it got this bad.
