Dealing With Disaster (Jeff, Candice, and Katie)

Jeff brought Katie back to his and CAndice's home. He had called Candice to let him know that Katie was staying with them and when he parked, he went around and picked his sister up again. He knew she just needed to be comforted and held so he was going to do everything in his power to try and help make her feel somewhat safe again.

Candice was anxiously pacing in the living room, worried sick about Katie since Jeff had called her from the hospital, explaining everything.

She had made up the guest room to be as comfortable as possible, and now all she could do was wait for them to get home.

Jeff put Katie's stuff down as he unlocked and opened the door. Once it was open, he grabbed the bag and slipped inside where Trouble and Maverick ran up to him and started yipping for attention.

"Hey guys...I'll pay attention to you in just a few minutes...Candice?" he called as he made his way more into the house. He smiled a little at Katie.

"You hungry or want somethign to drink?" he asked softly.

Katie nodded.

"Can I have a glass of water?" Katie asked softly.

"I don't think you've met our dogs...the dacshund is mine and the pitbull mix is Candice's...mine's Trouble and hers is Maverick." he introduced as he set her down on the couch. "I'll be right back." he smiled.

He returned with a glass of ice water for her. "Here you go." he said sitting with her.

Katie took the glass.

"Thank you." Katie said then looked at Maverick and Trouble and pet them both.

He smiled a little. "Is there anything we can get or do for you?" he asked softly. He wished he could just make her pain go away...or he'd much rather have it on him than see his sister suffer like this.

Katie just shook her head as she looked down at her glass of water. She sniffled before she wiped a tear that was starting to come down her cheek away.

He wiped her tears away and smiled softly. "Want me to sing to you again?" he offered softly.

Katie looked at Jeff then nodded.

"Yes please." Katie muttered.

He nodded, pulling Katie into his arms on the couch again. "Any requests?" he asked softly, stroking her hair.

"No. Sing whatever you want." Katie muttered.

He nodded as he started singing a soft ballad. He wanted to try and help her sleep so she could get some rest.

Katie lied her head on Jeff's shoulders as she listened to him sing then rubbed her eyes, feeling tired.

He continued singing to her and he planned to sing to her until she was fully knocked out.

Katie moaned softly before she closed her eyes then fell asleep.

He smiled as he continued singing softly to make sure she slept.

Katie started dreaming and it didn't take long for Nick to pop up in her dream. She then started screaming like crazy but wouldn't wake up from her dream.

Jeff felt her wiggle and he tried to wake her up. "Katie...Katie!!! It's Jeff! Wake up!" he said, trying to help her.

"Get away from me! Please just stop!" Katie yelled as she started crying.

Jeff felt himself tear up. She couldn't even sleep in peace. He started to sing to her again, letting her know who she was with and where she was and he immediately loosened his hold on her.

Katie started crying harder then heard Jeff's voice as she started to wake up. A few seconds later Katie opened her eyes then lifted her head up and looked at Jeff before she hugged him tightly as she continued crying.

He smiled a little when she woke up and held her close as she started crying again. "I'm right here...no one's going to hurt you...not while I'm around." he said softly.

[[wow...I just typed the lyrics from Sweeney Todd....the song between Mrs. Lovett and Toby...

"Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around" lol

I had musical theatre terrett's for a minute XD]]

"He's never going to stop. He's just going to come back." Katie cried.

(lol)

"No he won't...Me, Matt, everyone...we're not gonna let anyone hurt you ever again." he reassured.
