Cassidy is 11. Thanks for the feedback. Here's the next part.

PART 13

Bobby looks at Paul, biting his lip.

“Paul, let this go… Kate didn’t want you to know…”

Paul storms off, and Bobby sits down shaking his head.

“Oh boy…”

Jodi looks at Jon and Bobby worriedly.

“What do you think he’s going to say to her?”

“I don’t even want to know.”

Kate looks up when her dressing room door opens and Paul storms in. He sits down opposite her, his hands shaking angrily.

“Take off your top.”

Kate tries her best to laugh, avoiding his eyes.

“What is going on?”

“I’m not kidding, Kate!”

She gasps when he pulls her up by her arm, pulling her top over her head.

“How could you let him do this to you, Kate?”

He inspects the bruises on her body carefully, an angry frown between his brows.

“Why didn’t you say something?”

Kate looks at him, tears forming in her eyes.

“What’s there to say?”

Still frowning, he pulls her close, pressing her body against his softly.

“Katie…”

She starts sobbing, holding onto him.

“He… he threatened… me and… he… he…”

She bites her lip, afraid of what she almost said and Paul looks at her seriously.

“What were you going to say?”

“Nothing.”

“Kate… I want to know everything.”

She shakes her head again and he cups her face with his hands, looking at her seriously.

“Look, I promise I won’t let him hurt you again. In any way. But then you have to tell me everything. Can you do that?”

Indiana frowns, biting her lip.

“Wegener's granulomatosis? What does that mean?”

“It is inflammation in a variety of tissues, including blood vessels, damaging vital organs… It primarily affects the upper respiratory tract - sinuses, nose, trachea, lungs, and kidneys. Other organ systems that can be affected by the disease include the nervous system, ears, eyes, heart, and skin…”

Sharni bites her lip nervously.

“What about the treatment? It can be treated, right?”

“Miss Vinson, it’s a very serious disease… It can be treated, yes.”

“And how successful is the treatment?”

The doctor plays with his pen quietly and looks up at her.

“If diagnosed early enough, treatment is 75% effective…”

Sharni looks at him seriously.

“And in my case? Was it diagnosed early enough?”

“It’s hard to tell… But we will start treatment as soon as possible. You should know however that there are certain side effects of the drugs used here…”

Sharni and Indiana share a look before Indiana reaches over, squeezing Sharni’s hand.

“What are the side effects?”

“A number of things… including bones, high blood pressure, diabetes, and changes in mood and personality, bladder irritation, and bleeding, and even cancer of the bladder… liver irritation… changes in blood counts and sometimes lung inflammation.”

Sharni bites her lip.

“The treatment sounds more dangerous than the disease!”

The doctor looks up at Sharni, his expression grave.

“Miss Vinson… you should know that even with treatment… Wegener’s Granulomatosis can be fatal…”

Chris shakes his head angrily.

“It’s outrageous! The woman needs to mind her own business!”

Nic looks at him with a smile and he glares at his friend.

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“You’re smirking.”

Nic puts his hand on Chris’ shoulder and looks at him seriously.

“Mate, I just think you’re blowing this out of proportion.”

“She said that I neglected my child, Nic!”

“I still think you’re over reacting. Why would you care what she thinks?”

Chris shrugs.

“She’s getting into Cassidy’s head. I don’t want her to make Cassidy think that I don’t care about her and that’s what this Miss Lizzy is insinuating.”

Nic frowns.

“I take it Cassidy likes her.”

“She quotes her like Shakespeare.”

Nic bites his lip.

“A tricky situation… maybe you should talk to her.”

“I think I should.”

Thanks so much for the feedback! Here's the next part!

PART 14

“I tried to stop him… but I couldn’t. He just went on and on… And when he left, I felt so pathetic. He said that if I ever told anyone he’d kill me… after killing the people I care about. I was just so scared… so I thought that if I let him go on, he’d stop… sooner or later.”

She looks up, tears forming in her eyes.

“But he didn’t. He just kept hitting and kicking me… And I wished that I could lose consciousness… just so it would stop. But I didn’t. And then he stopped. He kissed me and said that it was my fault. And walked out. That’s when I started running.”

Paul strokes over her hair softly, pressing her face against his chest.

“On the beach… I could hardly breathe, I was so tired. And hurt. I hid behind a rock and started crying… and that’s where Bobby found me.”

She looks up at him, crying silently and he kisses her on her forehead softly.

“Don’t worry about this, okay? We’ll sort it out, I won’t let that monster hurt you again.”

“Thank you…”

The look at each other tensely for a few seconds, their lips only centimetres apart… Paul lowers his head, but Kate pulls away before their lips touch.

“Paul… it’s not fair on Sharni.”

He nods slightly; resting his lips on her forehead again, and closes his eyes.

“I love you, Kate.”

She looks up at him shocked and he nods.

“It’s true. I love you.”

Kate closes her eyes and touches his cheek.

“I love you too.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes!”

He lowers his head to kiss her again, but she pushes him away softly.

“Paul, you’re with Sharni…”

“Yeah, but she knows I’m in love with you!”

“Still… it’s not fair…”

He sighs and presses his lips against her neck, drawing small circles on her skin with his tongue.

“Okay… so I’ll talk to Sharni first.”

“Thank you.”

She pushes him away again and they stare into each other’s eyes silently.

“Go now… Before I give into something that we shouldn’t.”

Paul nods, stroking over her cheek with his thumb.

“I’ll see you tonight.”

Kate nods.

“Maybe… If Sharni’s okay… let me know how it goes?”

“Of course…”

“And that’s it for today… get out of here and enjoy break!”

The year twelfths all laugh softly and rush out – as Cassidy rushes into the classroom.

“Miss Lizzy!”

“Hey, Cass!”

Cassidy reaches in her pocket, taking out a note.

“My daddy said that I have to tell you that you need to start concentrating on educating children instead of criticizing their parents’ parenting skills. And while I’m at it, I have to tell you that my welfare is not your concern and that you she need to get a life. But remember, this is what my dad thinks, not me.”

Lizzy lifts a brow, looking angry.

“Really? That what he said?”

Cassidy nods.

“Yes, can I give him a message?”

“No. There’s nothing I can think of to say that I can say in front of you.”

“My dad also said that he thinks he should talk to you. So I told him that you said you were ready for him and that you’d crush him like the ice princess he is.”

“Cassidy! Where did you hear that?”

Cassidy shrugs.

“I heard you telling Mrs. Smith.”

“What else did you hear?”

Cassidy grins.

“Not much!”

Lizzy sits down, shaking her head.

“Me and my big mouth!”

“Did I do something wrong?”

Cassidy looks at Lizzy with big, fearful eyes and Lizzy shakes her head.

“No sweetie… I did.”

Cassidy puts her hand on Lizzy’s arm.

“Don’t worry, Miss Lizzy… daddy isn’t that mad… a little, but not bad. Don’t be scared.”

“I’m not scared, Cassidy!”

Cassidy smiles and nods.

“Okay, good. See you later!”

She runs out, bumping into her best friend, Anna. Anna frowns.

“Where you with miss Lizzy again?”

“Yes…”

“Why?”

Cassidy rolls her eyes.

“My dad wants to talk to her and once he sees how pretty she is, he’s going to fall in love with her and she’s going to become my new mommy. Duh.”
