Kai nearly left, not strong enough to put up much of a fight, but then he saw her. Just a glimpse through the cracked door, but enough to give him the strength to push just a bit further.

If only he had been just a little stronger in the main timeline…

@Littlefeets

Kai was there with Jess. Sitting down beside her, no matter how he felt, he couldn’t hide a smile. “Holding up fine now, but I thought I lost you.”

He thought he was fine…
Fine enough at least.
He was just happy to be with her

@Littlefeets

Even as Kai spoke to Jess, the relief he felt emotionally, couldn’t counter the worsening situation physically. His mind was fuzzy, he had already been in pain from the wound itself, as well as weak and exhausted, but over time it only increased, especially when the time came that Kai had to leave and return to his own room. He had barely made it out the door and into the hall when he hit the floor. The wound was still stitched and bandaged, but if the bruising of his abdomen was any indication, there was a bleed. By the time Kai was rushed into an operating room, it was clear that there was severe internal hemorrhaging.

Waking up each morning right next to Jess, laying there for a while, for no reason other than to feel at ease next to her. Then eventually getting up to make coffee and read the newspaper before returning to Jess’s side to finally wake her for breakfast. One day, even marrying her and having a child together. A little one that they would both love with their entire heart, even after that child was followed behind by siblings they loved just as much. They would be somewhere near the city, but far enough away at the same time, somewhere the kids could play without worry. Then, each night he could fall asleep with the person he loved most in his arms. It would be the life he wanted. None of the pressures put on him by his parents, a life away from the spotlight. He would have the people that mattered most to him, he would be completely himself, and he would be happy.

The life he always wanted…
Once he fell in love with Jess that’s just when he knew that he wanted it to be her in the life he wanted

@Littlefeets

She was the little sister, but since she was 8 years old, she did everything she possibly could to look out for and even protect Kai

That closeness, and her desire to protect Kai may be because of a little bit of ptsd and a trauma bond, but it doesn’t discount how much she’s wanted to protect Kai. She sees a lot of the cracks in the facades he shows the world…

And she understands how Dan probably feels like if he had just done things a little differently with the Charlotte situation, things would’ve been better. She’s grown up feeling that way with Kai. She was just lucky she didn’t lose Kai when she could have…

@Littlefeets

That’s when the girl who kept her fears hidden from everyone, crumpled to the floor as she broke down and watched her own tears fall. Her brother was gone…

Her biggest fear…
