Burning Legacy ➳ Liam Dunbar

chapter 36 ➳ in bed

December 30th

Friday

it was quite a week for the McCall pack, this weekend especially considering I've been stuck in the hospital all week.

Conner did this.

I'm sure of it.

No one is denying he didn't.

they just don't believe he's alive.

They thought I was seeing things.

My leg was broken, torn by who knows what, it was broken and I'm going to be wearing a black thick cast for a good 4-6 weeks.

limping and practically dragging my foot for the time being.

School starts January 6th so I have a week for resting, but what good was that when I know for sure that my brother is alive.

I sigh laying back in the white sheeted hospital bed, we were back in beacon hills.

Christmas was spent here in the hospital.

my leg was in astonishing pain.

"Scott!" I groan.

He rushes in from the bathroom.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"I wanna go home." I say.

He chuckles.

"Kayla, you broke your leg trying to protect us. I think you need some rest, here." He whispers sitting next to me.

"I hate it here. I wanna heal. Alone." I face the other way.

"Okay fine. I'll ask. But if they say no." He began.

"They won't." I shake my head vigorously.

"Okay I'll be back." He nods toward me before walking out.

I sigh laying back closing my eyes.

I heard small footsteps coming from the entrance of my room.

"Kay." Someone shook me lightly.

Only someone who I loved would give me a nickname for my nickname.

I open my eyes and there they were.

"Gabs." I whisper.

What would I do without her?

"Hey ugly." She says softly.

"Hey barfbag." I whisper in reply.

"How yah feeling?" She smiles down at me.

"I've been better. But I'll heal. I just need to not be here to do that." I chuckle.

"Well we couldn't just leave you with a torn leg with Robin and get away with it so we had to bring you to a hospital." Gabriela explains what everyone has told me.

"I just I want this all to end. I wanna go back to normal." I sigh.

"Kayla. It wasn't normal to begin with, if you haven't noticed none of us are normal. at all." Gabriela chuckles

She was right.

We aren't.

What was normal?

I've never been even a speck of normal.

Why now Kayla?

Why now?

Because.

I thought to myself.
