Katherine opened her eyes and saw Clark sitting in the chair next to the couch. Her head throbbed as she slowly sat up which caused her world to spin.
"Owe."
"Katty." Clark moved forward to take her hand.
"Did you see my truck?"
"Your truck? You walked into the barn. I caught you as you passed out. What happened?"
"My grandparents told me the truth about my life being an entire lie. I was upset so I took off." Katherine said. Clark turned toward as his dad answered the door to reveal the sheriff at the door. Katherine heard her name and that of her grandparents.
"What happened?"
"Miss Hawke where is your truck?"
"I flipped it on the far edge of Kent farm land. Why?"
"How did you get here?"
"Walked. Well stumbled but I got here. What happened?"
"There was an explosion at your house your grandparents were killed. We were under the impression you were home."
"How did you think to look here?"
"Young Mr. Kent was seen with Miss Hawke last."
"That makes sense. We will keep Katherine here until she decides otherwise. If that is alright sheriff."
"That's fine. Once we find out more of what happened we will let you know. We will also remove Miss Hawke's truck from your field."
"Thank you sheriff."
Katherine sat back down on the couch, as if finding out the two people she had though were her grandparents were but now to find out they were dead. The tears rolled down her cheeks again, Clark wasnt sure what to do as he reached out for her and pulled her close to him and let her cry against him. Clark wasnt sure how long he held her but he looked down and saw that she had cried herself to sleep. Clark slid out from under her and moved to the kitchen where his parents stood.
"She's having a rough day."
"That is an understatement. She staying here for a while? "
"Yes son she can. But there is more than friendship there isnt there?"
"I don't know but when I saw her when we studied alone I guess maybe I knew there was something but I always thought Lana and I would be but maybe Kat and I."
"Calling her Kat is a good start."
"Dad she will always by my Katty I am the only person she even allows call her that. "
"Take things slow. For now just be her friend."
"I will." Clark said looking toward Katherine's sleeping form.
