Kate's POV 

I pretend I'm asleep when I hear Tobias stumble into the house at god knows what hour but it must be convincing because when he comes to check on me he leaves shortly after giving me a kiss on the head 

The rest of the weekend is a blur, I avoid my family like the plaque and the bruising only gets worse  


Tobias' POV 

I think Kate is mad at me for the comment I made about Uriah at the party, she hasn't been herself all weekend, she says she's got a lot of homework and so she just stays in her room 


Kate's POV

I am silent in the car as my brother drives to school and so is he 

When we arrive I head straight for the lockers but Uriah is there 

"Hey you!" He calls out when he see's me 

"Hi" I manage to smile 

"It's good to see you" He  says before he pulls me into a hug, catching me off gaurd and making me wince

"Sorry" He says as my hands press down on my side only to reveal the bruising on my arm that my shirt sleeves barely covered 

I should have been more careful  

His eyes widen in shock 

"Who did that do you" He asks 

"It's nothing" I protest 

"That is not nothing Kate" He says "Was it Tobias? I'm going to kill him"

I manage to shake my head trying to fight off the tears

How could he think Tobias would do this?

I really didn't want him to find out  - especially not like this 

"Please don't tell him" I beg 

"Kate you do realise it is impossible for you to ask that of me right?" He says "I can't just stand here and do nothing"

"Uriah, it's none of your business" I tell him

"Damn right its my business, no one gets away with hurting the people I care about" He says and turns away before I have time to proccess what he just said

He cares about me?


Tobias' POV 

I'm with the rest of the group when Uriah storms over and I can tell he is furious

"T, I need to talk to you" He says "now!" 

I wander over and don't even have time to ask what's up before he starts

"Who the f*ck is beating up your sister?" He asks angrily and I'm stunned  "For god sake's T answer me"

"I don't know what your talking about" I say honestly, Kate is perfectly fine 

Unless something happened the night of the party 

God dammit I should have never have left her at home on her own 

"Uriah I have to go" I say and run off in the direction of the lockers
