-Kat POV-

I kept my eyes on the road as I drove Nate to the hospital. Seeing Matt act like that made me think of what else he could do. He could've killed Nate for God's sake.

I looked over at Nate as he had his eyes shut tight to probably try and reduce the pain. "It's gonna be okay..It's gonna be okay." I said with hope in my voice.

To be completely honest, I don't know what's gonna happen. Things could potentially get worse, or maybe even better. All I knew was that if I ever saw Matthew Espinosa again, he will regret it.

I pulled into the parking lot of the hospital and got Nate out of the car before heading into the hospital. The nurse looked up from her computer and widened her eyes as Nate and I walked in with blood all over. A wheelchair was brought out for him and he was wheeled back. I tried going back there but one of the nurses stopped me and started asking questions.

"What's his name?"

"Nathan Maloley."

"Date of birth?"

"January 17th, 1995."

"What happened?"

I had to think about this answer because I couldn't fuck up and say what actually happened. Both Nate, Matthew, and even me could go to jail.

"He accidentally shot himself in the leg. We were out at in the hills shooting targets."

The nurse nodded and looked up at me. She told me that it's be a few hours because he was rushed into emergency surgery. I nodded and sat down in the waiting room. Waiting.

-Matthew POV-

I sped all the way to where I assumed Kat was, the hospital. On the way there I kept thinking of what I was going to tell her. The radio played Fake Love by Drake which took me out of my thought process and began singing along. 

Not even noticing, I drove past the hospital and actually began driving back to my house.  I guess I was just too into the song to notice anything, because I even passed up the street to my house and headed towards the freeway.

I bobbed my head as the music kept playing. One hand on the wheel, the other out the window. I looked at the time. 1:16am.

Damn. I thought to myself.

I ran my hand through my hair and got off of the freeway. Waiting at the light I looked around to see where I was. My eyebrow furrowed as I went to find the nearest gas station. 

I parked the car and got out, lighting a cigarette before heading to the store. I stood outside for a bit to finish my cigarette and went inside.

"Hey what city is this?" I asked the clerk.

"Barstow." She said without looking up from her phone.

I nodded and walked out of the store, looking down at my screen to see that it was already 1:43. Putting my phone away, I went back to my car and headed back to the hospital to win back Kat.
