Katherine's Pov

I stood there rubbing my temples, my blood slowly starting to boil, I could practically feel the vein on the side of my head.

"She's getting mad guys, we should stop before our wittle sister throws a tantrum," Joshua said before laughing along with the rest of my brothers

It's been the longest hour of my entire life! We had twenty minutes of peacefulness, they all hugged me before checking me for scars. They asked how I was doing and how did I find Lucas. I explained how I found him and why I'm here but I haven't mentioned anything about Ashton yet.

Joshua asked where Amelia was and I had to think fast, I couldn't exactly tell my brothers that I left her behind with two men that I barely knew and I was in love with one of them.

Fuck no, they'd kill me and Ashton.

They're not ready to know about that part yet, Ashton and I have a complicated relationship. If I tell them about him, they're going to want to know everything and when they find out that he was the reason I was in hospital, they'll flip out.

Jesus, Ashton has literally become a problem in my life but honesty, I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Cut the bullshit everyone, Kat tell us what's going on." My eldest brother Chad asked

He was the most serious out of all of us, he rarely smiled and he was the scariest. After me of course.

"I need your help. I'm going to get revenge on Joey," They all nodded their heads, waiting for me to continue

"Ashton is of course going to help as well but I haven't given him my location yet, I wanted to tell you guys everything before you meet him. He has Amelia with him, I've asked him to keep her safe and she's with her boyfriend, Matthew, so I know that she's safe. We're going to take down Joey once and for all, you can help me or I do it alone but either way I'm going to make sure Joey goes down once and for all." My elder brother Chad stood up and clasped his hands together

"The Hale Kids are officially back. Get ready for war boys because we won't stop until Katherine gets her revenge," Chad said before adjusting his coat

"This is going to be a long and bloody road, are you ready little sister?" Lucas asked me, the rest of my brothers hummed in agreement and looked at me

"Bring it on." I smiled wickedly at them and they chuckled, my brother Kelvin walked towards me and patted my head

"That's our girl."

A few hours later, I'm sitting in my room and adding my brothers phone numbers into my new cellphone that Chad bought me. He said I needed a phone in order for them to contact them and visa versa.

Plus I should really check on Amelia and ask what's been going on since I left. I actually miss her annoying face and our fun moments, she's a big part of my life. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't exactly be like this today.

I'd still be the emotionless and blood thirsty Katherine that I was a few years ago but thanks to her and her parents, I've calmed down a little.

I owe them so much, they knew how fucked up I was but they still took me in and raised me as one of their own. There's not enough words in the English language to explain how much I appreciate them.

Sitting in my room, all alone with music playing always gets my thoughts going. I started to think about why I ran away; why I always seem to resort to running away.

It was such a powerful instinct, it was the only thing I knew how to do when life gets tough. When I'm stuck in a dilemma or I don't have any other solution to the problem, I run.

I run far, far away and hope that they never find me. My mind has always thought that I could hide from my problems and they'd just disappear but it doesn't always work.

Sometimes- Most of the time, the problem gets worse and in the end I've only made it more difficult for myself. But why did I run away from Ashton?

He was just trying to help, fuck. I needed his help. But something inside told me its a trap.

He was using me, he was just trying to gain my trust then destroy me later. I wanted to trust him, I wanted him to be there when no one else was and I wanted him to be the one I can always depend on.

Ashton hasn't exactly given me a reason not to trust him. He's always been there; yes we've had our ups and downs but he's been there regardless.

Our relationship is so fucking complicated and I just wish that I could change it. But my feelings are only one-sided and I'm totally okay with that, I can't force him to feel the same.

I respect him despite his arrogant behavior, he's actually quite a nice guy.

This is only the beginning though.

Something inside of me doesn't want to let him go, there's this strong feeling that I have towards him.

It's like an obsession

But it's not. He'll find out just how bad I want him, he can either refuse or accept this.

I ran my hand through my hair and chuckled softly. I'm going crazy 

This male brings out the crazy that rests inside me, he awakens the insane part of me. What makes me like him even more is that he know's that I'm a little insane.

Yet he still chose to be with me, he took care of me. But if he thinks I've forgotten about him and that girl, he's mistaken.

I switched off the music and looked around for the charger. I plugged my phone in and fell backwards onto my bed.

I know he's looking for me and I'll let him find me but it won't be that easy. He'll of course find me with no problem but I'll make him regret trying to make me jealous.

I closed my eyes with a smile on my face.

This is going to be fun
