I'll be here for you

Chapter 28

 - - - - Kate's P.O.V - - - -

I couldn't believe that Taylah's Stepbrother bashed Cody, the police also told me he had a criminal record and that he would be going to Juvenile jail since he was only 18, I was in so much shock right now. 

"Are you ok?" I asked Cody

"Yeah, just shocked are you sure that they caught Liam" 

"Yeah....Liam Rockwood, Taylah's stepbrother"

"At least now he won't be able to do it again to anyone else and will be punished" Jake said.

We stayed for hours by Cody's side, making him laugh was the best gift we could offer. By the time it was 7:00pm I had to leave, mothers orders. I couldn’t wait until he came back to school on monday.

When Friday morning came I got ready as quickly as I could. Once at school, I saw the stage was under construction in the hall which was fantastic. I quickly looked for Nusi and saw her reading by herself under a big oak tree.

"Hey Nusi" I said sitting beside her.

"Hey Kate whats up?"

"Well, I found you a partner" I said with a smile.

"Yeah...who?" she asked

"Cody"

"That's heaps cool thank you so much"

"No worries, well I better let you keep on reading, I'll catch you later"

"Ok see ya"

I got up and saw Erin and Sarah walking through the gate.

"Hey guys" I said running up to them, giving them a massive hug.

"Hey" they both replied

"Do you have the money?" I asked.

"Yeah sure here" they said handing me the money. I felt so rich yet scared at the same time caring so much money.

"So how's Cody?" Erin asked

"Great he'll be back on Monday" I replied

"Oh cool" Sarah replied

I had noticed lately how we all had grown closer and closer towards each other and I was really starting to love it here.

"Well I need to go and print of some work for homeroom, talk to you guys later" Erin said blowing us a kiss.

"See ya" I replied as she walked off.

"So Sarah do you wanna meet up on the weekend?"

"Uh sorry I promised Erin that I would help her with math"

"Oh.." I replied "That's fine" I'll just go and see Cody then, I thought to myself. As the others arrived I got all the money I needed for the guitar.

- - - - Taylah's P.O.V - - - -

Kate had been working very hard along with the whole year group to set up this talent show, but Xavier had been working even harder to win. He didn't have a very stable home financially and he needed to get some extra cash, so I thought up a desperate plan to make him win when I thought of something...sabotage the voting.

- - - - Cody's P.O.V - - - - 

I couldn't wait to get home on Sunday afternoon from the hospital, I wanted to help Nusi win the talent show since I'm not much help if I am stuck in hospital, so I texted Kate to see if she could bring me a copy of the music that I needed to play for the show and maybe Dad could bring my guitar....I looked over and saw Dad asleep in the chair by my side. It didn't look that comfy to sleep in all night and he needed every bit of sleep he could get. That was until the nurse came in to give me my morning tablets. The knock at the door startled him and he shot up looking around the room.
