#Chapter41

Fight

Presley

Kaylee came out of surgery but hadn’t woken up yet. I went to the hospital to visit her. Her dad stayed with her and looked like he hadn’t slept.

/"I’m waiting for Kaylee to wake up,/" the Chief said.

/"She’ll wake up,/" I said, sitting down in a chair.

/"I promised Kaylee’s mom I would protect her. I failed,/" the Chief whispered.

/"No, you didn’t,/" I replied. The Chief looked at me. /"Kaylee fought./"

/"That’s David is influence. He taught her to fight,/" the Chief told me.

We heard sounds coming from Kaylee. /"Presley,/" Kaylee called out to me.

I got up and held her hand. /"I’m here,/" I assured Kaylee. Kaylee gripped my hand as she opened one eye. The other eye swollen shut because of her cheek and bruising.

/"I fought,/" Kaylee told me.

/"Yeah, you did,/" I said, smiling.

The Chief stood up and leaned over the bed.

/"Dad,/" Kaylee mumbled.
