Oh the drama [[Katie]]

[Sean Novak]

Sean had just been about to plop down on the couch and relax for awhile before he'd realized that he had a new voicemail message on his cell phone. And he was very glad that he'd listened to it then instead of later. Since if Katie was at the hospital then his priorities would, and did change in an instant. But he wondered why she was there and what had happened. He just hoped that Branden hadn't found out that she was there before he did, of course if that would have happened then he would have gotten a call from somebody saying that he was having a panic attack and that he'd better get over there to deal with it. Since he knew all about what had happened when Katie had ended up meeting Branden at the barn. He was happy for the two of them but now wasn't the time to be thinking about that, he was supposed to be finding Katie's room. The nurse had insisted that she could show him where it was but he'd told her that wouldn't be necessary. He'd been in different places in this hospital plenty of times so he basically knew the whole layout of it.

Aha, there was the room number that was identical to the one that he'd been given. So maybe he'd find out everything within minutes. He cautiously looked into the room before digging his keys out of his pocket. He knew that Katie would probably want to get out of here as soon as possible.

[Katie Clark]

katie was sitting in the room on her laptop. When she'd woken up long ago she hadnt even known she was wearing the hospital junk so before sean and everyone came she'd already gotten up...though it took some time, she'd changed and gone back to sitting in the hospital bed watching tv typing on the computer and was snacking on some food her parents had brought before they left. They obviously werent for the idea of her going home so soon and espeially with that reason they wouldnt notice if she was home. Shed "relax and rest" as neils had put it so easily, there. She couldnt do it here it made her too nervous and she felt cooped up in the one little area.

She saw sean come in and got up what probably was a bit too quick by the nausea of part of a sandwich that she felt for a moment but she wouldnt show it, not when sean was here and he was her ride home, she planned on looking just fine so no one would have anythig to worry about she got her bag and put her laptop in it hey! she said happy to see someone. She hadnt called Branden she knew that was the last thing he needed right now and she wasnt trying to make a deal out of this she wanted to keep low profile till tommarow when she was "able" to go home. At which point she'd just tell people she got a ride from sean....not a lie there. lets get out of here....fast she murmered getting up....... Actually other than being a little pale and such...she didnt look too bad though she didnt look "good" either at the moment. She'd taken the iv out herself before sean'd shown up.....ya somethingt hat almost made her passout again but she did it and knew she was in the homestretch now

[Sean Novak]

"You don't look so bad considering that you're in this place." He said and then moved further into the room. He did have to admit that she did look a little pale but she could just simply say that she didn't feel too well or something. People would believe that and if she wanted him to he could keep this a secret. That was the least that he could do for her. After all, he wasn't that cold hearted that he'd go around telling people that somebody had been in the hospital. "You're right we should get out of here as fast as possible. But, just say that world and I'll be willing to piggy back you out of here. Since personally, I don't care about what doctors say and getting glared at by nurses doesn't really affect me anymore." He said and then smiled at her, she probably didn't know why he was saying that but he'd been in a hospital enough times that he was used to people staring at him for doing something in here. And he didn't feel like telling her how he'd sprung Mark out from here of course, Mark had insisted that he wasn't going to stay in the place any longer and then he'd strung a few choice swearwords about the service here along with it.

"Oh and by the way, once we get out to my car I can get the stupid wristband off that they always attach to you when you're admitted off. I didn't think it was a smart idea bringing anything metal in here with me." He said and grinned but then he tried to think of the fastest route out of here. They were on the second floor so it was either the stairs or the elevator. He didn't think that Katie would be up for the stairs so it appeared as if they would have to use the elevator. It was a lot slower but it seemed as if that was their only option. "So, are were ready to get off of this property? Since I think that I'm in one hour parking so if we stayed around here and talked we could risk me getting towed and there's no way I'm letting some other person touch my car." He said before wondering where he was taking Katie, he'd have no problems with bringing her back to his house. Then again, perhaps bringing her home was the best option, he really wasn't sure.

[Katie Clark]

ill take that as a compliment...i thinkshe htold him. For a moment she thought that he might be ......unsure about coming in because he lagged but he came in as she was packing up her things....She knew that she wasnt getting out of here on her own...her parents werent going to help her.....Neils deff. was not going to help her...and she knew that the last thing that Branden needed right now was this. So as the movie bizzz would call it " her and sean were bustin out"...something she'd always wanted to say but this was a stupid time to say it. She looked at him and moved towards him she'd taken some asprin earlier and the docs had her on something that should have relaxed her but it didnt matter the affect of them that would have to wait till later

then lets get going......i think i can make it.........i dont want the looks from those rotten people she said having to choice her words carefully to be polite. After all from what neils told her she could have died....she still didnt like it here though. She smirked sounds good to me...it itches she told him....of course that was also where she'd pulled the iv out and stuck on ....what else but what was in the bathroom ther....she didnt know why they had it but there were little sunshine bandades and she needed something so she stuck it on and that was that. She laughed ya we can talk in the car Im not worried about being caught or anything since people had to see my hissy fit getting in, your parking is much more important she said though her tones were quite joking with him. She knew these places were easy to get out of but with the fit she HAD thrown earlier she was sure the whole place knew her and she still had that small twinge of nervousness in the back of her mind

[Sean Novak]

"Ok, well then if you don't want to get glared at by them. I just thought of somebody who owes me a favor, or two. I just have to call them since I left my cell phone in my car." He said and then quickly moved over to where the phone was in the room. He quickly dialed the number to his house, knowing that Mark was the only one that was home and he was the one who was going to help him weather he liked it or not. "Mark, can you do me a really huge favor...can you call up to the nurses station on the third floor and start flirting with that one girl who has to make sure nobody's breaking out...I might be getting somebody out of the hospital...might I remind you that not only am I doing your jobs but I got you out of the hospital when you didn't want to stay any longer...good you can call them right now." He said and then hung up before making his way back over to where Katie was. Now they had time to get out without anybody seeing them. That had basically been their only obstacle because they could completely avoid the reception area by just walking a little closer to the wall then most people did.

"Ok, now that Mark's doing the distracting we'd better get going. And since I know you heard what I said yes, I did spring him from here. Actually I did a couple of weeks ago of course he threw a fit and said that he was over eighteen and they couldn't hold him here so that basically took care of things then." He said and then began to make his way over to the door, he didn't want to waste any time just in case the head nurse decided to actually check on how things were. Now that he thought about it if anybody stopped them Katie could just yell that she was checking herself out and that they couldn't keep her here or something. But he was fairly confident that nobody would get in their way now. "I'll try not to go too fast for you but if I am just say so. But I hope you know that after this they'll probably have cameras on me at all times when I'm in here." He said and then grinned, before slipping out into the hallway. He then stopped and waiting for Katie to catch up to him. The hallway was absolutely empty, so that was one obstacle down.

[Katie Clark]

katie grinned. She was all ready by the time he'd dialed the number to his brother and she tried not to laugh when he asked him for the favor but had a hard time with it. very nice....... she commented grinning. and followng him out of the room hey i could pass for eighteen and sai y can sign myself out she said confidently smirking. She kenw athat that probably wasnt the case...yeah she'd been mistaken for eighteen but she didnt think they'd buy it since they'd already caled her parents and stuff

She watched him and followed behind rolling her eyes and shaking her head im perfectly capable of doing everything as good as you can she said sticking her tongue out and giving a five year old look to him but it was only teasingly. Truth be told she was still as nautious as when she came. She followed him down so far so good.......She thought she saw her e.r. doctor look over from talking to someone in the waiting room but she went by acting like she didnt see. They'd made it downstairs and she relaxed oing down to the car. Easier than she thoughtreminde me to thank your brother for that one she said smirking and getting in the car....she'd waited till he got in rubbing her forehead do i tell branden about this?.......he weems to worry about things a lotshe said looking at him she thought he'd a told him after she'd called him and almost had hoped that he did

[Sean Novak]

He quickly made his way down the hallway, things were certainly going good. He had noticed the E.R. doctor look over and he looked over at Katie and he simply looked straight ahead as if the two of them were just coming from visiting somebody. He finally let his guard down once they were in his car. Now if somebody came out he could certainly outrun them. Or outrace them since he would be driving in a few moments. "Yeah he'd probably appreciate it if you thanked him. Of course he's probably still having a lot of fun playing with that person." He said and then started the car up and began to back out of the parking space. Soon they were making their way out of the parking lot. "Yes, you probably should tell him. Or I could, I don't know if it really matters but if you did then you might want to make it sound like it wasn't that serious. Since you probably know about his little fear of losing people close to him. " He said and then pulled out onto the road, he had been about to call Branden up and tell him that he was going to pick Katie up. But he'd thought that he might start to panic and then Katie would have probably had to wait two hours until he came to get her.

"So, where am I taking you? Because if you don't want to go home I could probably let you stay at my house. Or, I think Branden's home but it's up to you." He said and then remembered that he was going to take the wristband off of her. "Shoot, I'll just pull into the next parking lot I see and then we'll get that stupid wristband off of you." He said and then slowly turned into a parking lot for a used bookstore. Then he reached around into the backseat before he found the toolbox he'd thrown back there a couple of days ago. He didn't know why he had put it back there but it was a good thing that he hadn't moved it."So would you like it go get taken off by a pocketknife,scissors, or box cutter? Since that's all I've got on me right now." He asked and knew that she'd probably want him to use the scissors since they were probably safer to use on a person.

[Katie Clark]

Katie grinned shaking her head he's probably bored out of his mind anyways she said putting her head back against the headrest and just looking out the window. She nodded She knew that Branden should know that was the thing he was worried about though...... was him freaking out. She should tell him though...besides according to her it WASNT that bad, thats why she wasnt in the hospital it was everyone else that took it out of proportion and her parents that just chose to ignore it.

She looked over at him well at this point im good for anything that'll get it off, but i think the scissors or the pocketknife is your best betshe said grinning, lifting her wrist to him She took her phone out with her other hand and put in Brandens number calling him up((ya im just doing it here lol))when she got him on the other line she explained it hey....umm not much ....i got somethin to tell you.......wel ya everythings fine, but uhh seans driving me home from the hospital......everythings fine, i promise, just a heat hing, i you wanna hang out ill tall ya abou tit later?((lol ill let you answer from there lol)). She hadnt answered sena yet cause if branden wanted to hang out she'd head over here mabey...she was still worried about hanging out at home when her parents thought she was at the hospital...and getting chewed out by her dad too....she still needed to talk to branden and sean about that...

[Sean Novak]

She was probably right, Branden was probably board at the moment. Since the last thing that he had heard he was at home trying to watch a baseball game that wasn't very interesting. (Which was why he was glad he wasn't home at this exact moment because the game would be ending and if Mark was done flirting he'd be watching it.) He listened to the conversation that Katie and Branden were having and he knew that if she said that then he would probably believe that whatever had happened to her was just some minor thing. He just hoped that nobody would ever tell him how serious things had probably been. Then again, he didn't think that anybody had been at the hospital before then so nobody else probably knew what had happened. Actually now that he thought about it he really didn't know how things had happened but he honestly didn't care. When something like this happened, he wasn't so interested in the details. He then selected the pocketknife since he was in his hand and he knew he'd have no problems getting it off. Then in one swift movement the wristband fell off of her and onto the floor of the car. He'd dispose of it later since he wasn't going to just throw it out the window for somebody to find.

"Of course I'll hang out with you besides, the only people who I know don't have any plans for today are you and Sean."

((really short but I didn't know if I could go much farther without Branden's reply.))

[Katie Clark]

Katie looked down as he cut the wristband from her it felt good, it was bugging her skin...she guessed that she just wasnt used to it, she was one to not usually wear wristbands and whatnot. She listened into the phone looking out the window then over to sean. sounds good, we'll be over soon she said smiling tough she knew he couldnt see.She finished talking with him and hung up. looking over to sean. feel like takin a ride to brandens? she said grinning innocently im gonna go over there for now, my parents think im in the hospital for the night she admitted shrugging.

[Branden Devereaux]

He smiled at her before turning off of the road and onto another one which would take them to Branden's. "You should know that you don't have to ask me something like that and that the answer is yes." He said and then was silent for awhile before turning onto yet another road which really would take them there. Now all of the cars that had been on the highway had disappeared and they were in Glendale among all of the fancy homes. As they drove past his house he looked to make sure that everything was exactly the same way that it was when he left it. And things were so he wasn't worried of course why should he be? Nobody could probably get into the house with the security system his dad had insisted that they had to have. "It looks like my house is still safe. We'll be at Branden's in a few seconds of course you probably know where he lives by now." He said and a few moments after he said that he was pulling into the driveway next to Branden's truck. He shut the car off and then got out, he'd been thinking that Branden would be running out of the house as soon as he pulled in. But the only thing that was greeting him was one of the dogs. "Hey Ruby, did Branden leave you out here all by yourself. No, he wouldn't have it must have been Josh." He said and then petted the dog for a moment as he looked around. A few moments later Josh came running from the backyard followed closely by Branden.

Ok, so he had known that Sean and Katie were coming over. And that Katie had just gotten out of the hospital. But Josh had his truck keys and had taken off with them. And he simply was not going to let him have those keys. It had been a long chase through the house at fast speeds before Josh had taken off outside. As he ran toward the frontyard he saw Sean and immediately slowed down and apparently Josh had too. "Alright, you can have my keys because I'm not going anywhere right now." Branden said before quickly jogging over to where Sean was. He watched as Josh made his way back inside of the house again which meant that they'd have to continue their little game, if one could call it that later. The only thing that he really cared about right now was Katie. He knew that whatever had happened to her was nothing, or at least that was what she said. But he couldn't help being concerned.

((I would have liked that post to be longer but I have to go to bed now.))

[Katie Clark]

Katie looked over at him and smirkd just being politeeee she said with a snobby attitude about it, but she said it in a teasing way. She looked out hte window knowing exactly where they were....She actually didnt live far from here and took the main road to work every day. Thats how she knew whereeveryone lived...When you lived around here and hung out with the people she did it seemed that you knew where everyone in school lived. When they turned she looked down another street and saw her own house at the end of the culdesac sitting there as tal and regal as ever. Her mom had insisted on a victorian looking ouse it looked almost country on the outsie...but once you got on the inside it was sleek and black and whites and blues were the colors everywhere. She didnt think her mom owned anything that was older than four years old.

She smirked well why wouldnt it be, with all the protection and stuff around here theres no worries she told him grinning. She knew where brandens house was she'd jogged past it before and also been there once when her and someone....she forgot who, mabey sean or cassie, even randy, were picking him up for something. When they got there she couldnt help but laugh at the guys running around as she got out simling and crouching down to pet the dog that'd come up to them watching Branden make his way over hey she said standing back up and hugging him lightly never cease to amaze me she said smiling, her eyes bright and looking up to him, shorter today now that she wasnt wearing six inch heels let alone heels at all.

[Branden Devereaux]

"Well Josh started it, and then he decided that he didn't want to get into a wresting match so I had to chase after him. I would have caught him if I wouldn't have had to slow down. That's ok though, since you guys are here then Sean can help me get my truck keys back." He said and then put one arm around Katie's shoulders. He'd never realized how much shorter Katie was, maybe it was because she wasn't wearing heels or something. Since he hadn't really noticed if she had been at the club but now that he thought about it, she must have been since there was a definitely height difference. He then turned and looked into her eyes, she did look pale but she didn't really look like she could break into a million pieces or something. He still was kicking himself for not really speaking to her that much since they'd ridden together. It was then that he felt Ruby nudge his leg and push a ball into his free hand. "By the way this is Ruby, Katie she's one of the five dogs that are here the rest are in the garage though well, not counting my puppy anyway." He said and then threw the ball over to the other side of the yard and watched as the young Irish Setter ran after it.

Sean made a face when Branden said that he would have to help get his keys back from Josh. He knew what he was implying, an ambush. Sure Katie might find it entertaining to watch the two of them sneak up on Josh and wrestle him to the ground and retrieve the keys. But that would be hard work, even if it was two of them working to get the keys back. "But what if Sean doesn't want to attack Josh today?" He said as he tried to keep a straight face, Branden was the one who could easily slip into third person about himself. He then looked over at the living room window of the home and noticed at Josh appeared to be watching them. Of course, Branden didn't seem to concerned about that so he wasn't going to worry about it either. Maybe there was something that he didn't know but he wasn't going to say "hey, did you know your older brother is watching us. Is there something you're not telling me?" Because number one, that wouldn't be polite and number two, he'd probably find out if there was something he didn't know later. Since he knew that Branden wouldn't keep him in the dark forever. "If you think that Josh and Branden chasing each other around is amazing. Then I'd better not tell you about the massive food fight Mark and I started a couple days ago." He said and then grinned, he didn't even know if Branden knew about that happening.

[Katie Clark]

katie smiled and wraped her arm around his waiste when he put his around her shoulders. once again, she was the shorty around all the guys. But that was normally ok with her. She wasnt "thrilled" about it, but she used it a lot as her " im so innocent and fragile" advantage. Though most of the school knew katie was a girlie girl that would hang out with the guys...though she could be a flirt at times, she'd layed off lately. That was until after her little cemetary visit. It seemed that marissa or the memory of her had brought up some things in the both of them that had been dormant for a while....Sure she'd had relationships, she hadnt gone as far as Brandon but there was just something always REALY missing. She smiled when they introduced ruby to her and she went back to petting her for a moment before Branden threw the ball for her awwwwww, my mom had an irish setter a long while ago, great dogs, our was as dumb as a rock,...but beatiful she said grinning. She could remember the dog...........Died when it was four though.........damn thing jumped in the lake when they let it out and drown.

She watched Sean and Branden go at it in third person. She laughed your all crazy, just be thankful you have siblings she said grinning. She'd always wanted an older brother.....aka a sean, hahaha. But she was an only child and that ended up being ok for her. She always said she'd love a sibling but in reality she was perfectly happy getting all her parents, attention, love,...if they showed that, and money. ok.....so im fine with being an only child she said shrugging. She'd done some crazy stuff but that was one bad thing about it... but youve got soemone to take the heat for you.....i always have to take it all by poor little self she said grinning it was true, she'd trashed the house once...but blaming the dog wouldnt help much

[Branden Devereaux]

"Well Ruby certainly isn't dumb she was really easy to train I guess. Her only bad trait is the fact that she's a beggar and that's why she doesn't go in the house that much." He said and then looked over to the living room window he should have known that Josh would be watching them. He'd neglected to tell Sean that when he had been telling him about what had happened when he went out riding that Josh had overheard it. He hadn't been angry about him not being told right away, amazingly enough. In fact, he'd basically applauded him for asking somebody out. It appeared as if he had picked up on the fact that he hadn't been too serious with somebody in quite some time now. "Ok, so I actually do have a small confession to make. Josh overhead the conversation that Sean and I were having a couple of days ago. And to keep things short he knows that I'm not exactly single anymore." He said and then looked at Katie, he figured that she probably should know that because if they ended up going inside then she probably would have to sit through the twenty questions game. "And by the way Sean, you're going to help me get my keys back weather you like it or not. Since I helped you by taking your sister off of your hands." He said and then looked at Sean and made a face. Actually Ashley really wasn't that bad she just talked a little too much for him.

Aha, so that was why Josh was watching them. But honestly, did he really think that Branden would make out with Katie right in front of him or something? "But I feel like a fish right now, and I don't like the feeling." He said and then turned so that his back was facing the window but that still didn't help much now he had eyes on his back. "Ok then, well you're the lucky one. Since you don't have anybody to dump glitter into your hair and then you end up walking around with it in there for about three hours because you didn't notice it." He said and then looked at Branden, at least his siblings probably wouldn't do something like that to him. "Besides, Mark might take the heat for you sometimes but you really owe him after that. Ashley isn't too bad but usually if she takes the blame for something then I have to do something really stupid like play with ponies or something like that." He said and then watched as Branden made a face at him so he simply made one back.
