"Where are you going?" Paul asked the limping woman struggling to come out of his apartment. 

"Where do you think? My apartment, move." She said struggling to balance herself against the door.

​​

Paul shook his head as he watched her struggle, she was far from healed and here she was being stubborn. "How are you going to survive on you own? Since it's not obvious to you Patricia really messed you up." 

"Oh geez I haven't noticed." She rose her hands sacarstically, wincing as she did. Her right ankle, head, and right wrist were under wraps. She had sitches in her nose and lip and her eyes where still blue or purple well not the normal colour. And with every step she took it was obvious she was struggling. Now here she was hugging his door, unable to even support herself but insisting on leaving.

"Katherine go back in, you can't be alone right now." He ordered. 

"Who said I was going to be alone?" She asked him.

Paul sighed folding his arms across his chest "pray tell who are you going to stay with apart from me?" 

Katherine fought the urge to jump him and pull out his hair, not that she even could. "Do you really think your the only person in my life?" 

He smiled smugly. "Yes Katherine, yes. Everyone else is pretty occupied, Jason is too busy and your dearest friend is behind bars. Who else is going to drop everything and take care of you?" 

"Me." A deep voice said from behind them, and both people turned around.

"Devon!" Katherine exclaimed happily.

"You? Again? What the hell are you doing here?" Paul frowned. "Did my brother let his dog go?" 

"Paul!" Katherine yelled, shooting him a warning glare.

"What I'm not wrong." He scoffed.

"Don't mind him Devon, I'm glad you're here. Sorry to disturb though." She said. 

Devon smiled sweetly. "Ofcourse you should disturb. I mean what else do you have a boyfriend for?"

Paul coughed awkwardly at the word 'boyfriend.' 

"Boyfriend?" He scoffed "since when? Katherine doesn't date." 

**************************************************

"I'm really sorry about that Devon." Katherine apologised as he helped her put of her car.

"It's okay, but I've got to ask, is he always so protective?" Devon asked as he placed her crutches under her arms.

"I have no idea what is going through his mind, he was way out of line and I'm sorry for that. He shouldn't have behaved like that." Katherine sighed.

"Well he really was out of line." Devon agreed.

**************************************************

"Since when was it your business who I date?" Katherine huffed in annoyance. 

"Since when wasn't it? You can't just go around frolicking with guys like him!" Paul huffed.

Katherine jaw dropped. "I beg your pardon." 

"Mr. Song-"

"Don't interrupt." Paul held his hand up stopping Devon. "This is why you want to leave my apartment? Because of him? Don't be foolish Katherine."

"Foo-foolish! Paul are you losing your mind?" 

He was losing his mind, and as much as he wanted to stop talking his tongue wouldn't stop. "I forbid you from going with that man."

"Ohh... you forbid me? Well I'm sorry dad, but you can't stop me." She spat.

"Oh yeah? Let's see how you go anywhere without these." He said snatching he crutches away.

"Paul! Why the hell are you acting like a spoiled child!" Katherine screamed.

**************************************************

Paul stood in front of his mirror with a look of pure horror on his face. What the hell was that? He was absolutely mortified. He wanted to stop talking he really wanted to, next thing he knew he was snatching her crutches. 

And the worst part of all....

**************************************************

"You're not going anywhere!" He exclaimed. 

Absolutely done with his tantrum Katherine flew at him and Paul stepped aside dodging her airborne attack.

"Ooowww!" Katherine cried as she landed on the floor in an undignified hump.

"Katherine!"

"Katherine!" 

Both men yelled her name, Devon racing to her and Paul chucking away the crutches and running to her as well.

Devon slid down on his knees picking her up.

"Katherine are you okay?" 

"Ahhh, my ahhh...." she cried.

"You sitch, it opened again." He gasped when her lips started to bleed again.

"Kath-"

"I think you've done enough Mr. Song" Devon spat.

Paul looked down in absolute despair, it wasn't even Devon admonishing that had him hurt and disappointed in himself. But the fact that Katherine flinched away from his touch, he couldn't believe he just did that. 

"We need to get that checked." Devon said, picking her up. Paul reached for the crutches but Devon stopped him from touching them. Some how he managed on his own, carrying both Katherine and her crutches. 

***************************************************

Paul picked up his phone to call Katherine, he needed to apologise. As he began to dial the number he paused, she wouldn't pick up the phone now. Perhaps he should go see her, she would be in her own apartment right?

**************************************************

"Are you sure you want to be travelling so soon? You should rest for at least a day or two." Devon informed Katherine as she leaped around her apartment. 

"I have to do this. I'm already to embarrassed it face Jessie and I can't be a collateral for Patricia again. This is the only way I know to help her and myself." She said.

Devon sighed. "I can understand how you feel really I can, but it was not your fault that Jessie is now arrested." 

"It doesn't matter, the fact is that she's arrested and it was because she was trying to save me." Katherine insisted. "I don't know how horrible it must be for her, you didn't she the way she was shaking the last time the police were after us." 

"So why are you going back to that town?" Devon asked.

"That's were the next stop to finding my father is, after I see who I need to I'll leave." She said.

"Leave to where?" 

"Anywhere, somewhere, I don't know just far away from here." 

"And when Jessie gets released? Won't you be here for her?"

"How can I even face her? Please Devon I understand you are a logical guy but please just go along with this, hmm?" 

**************************************************

"Where are you going?" 

Katherine turned around whist Devon loaded her suitcase into the back of her car.

"Paul? If you're here to cause any more tro-"

"I'm here to apologise, but where are you going?"

"Away, I'm going away."
