By the time that 2:00 am came around Kayla had the pub clean and spotless and ready for closing.
"Thank god, I can finally go home" she said to herself. The only thing that she thought about all night was Jess. She wanted her so bad, she wanted to please her and give her everything she desired, but she was hesitant to open herself up like that, she couldn't handle being hurt again, it not only broke her heart but it broke her soul.
Kayla was deeply and madly in love once and her name was Abby. She was Kayla's world for 3 years. It all ended one night when Kayla came home early from work and she wanted to surprise her lover. When she walked into her bedroom she saw Abby fucking some guy, in her bed, in her house. Right at that moment she felt like someone ripped her heart out and threw it on the ground to stomp on. She was so heartbroken that she hadn't been with anybody since then and that was 2 years ago. The thought of having to feel that pain and emptiness, scared her, and the possibility of that pain coming from Jess, scared her even more. That's why Kayla figured that it would probably be better for both herself and Jess if they spent some time apart.
"Ughhh." She moaned as she blew out a long breath and got into her cruiser and started her drive home. As she was pulling into her driveway her police radio went off.
"You have got to be kidding me" she said out loud.
"Sheriff this is dispatch, come in." said the woman on the other line.
"Roger dispatch, go ahead." Kayla replied sounding more than slightly annoyed.
"There was a brown bear attack over on Bobcat Mountain Rd. The bear was shot and the girls alive but unconscious." The dispatcher said.
"Roger that dispatch, I'm en route." Kayla responded over the radio.
As Kayla was driving up Bobcat Mountain Rd. she sighed, all she wanted to do was lie in her bed and go to sleep, she was looking forward to it; but as usual she got a call. 'I guess that's what you get for being the Sherriff.' She thought to herself.
When she arrived at the scene she saw the brown bear lying dead off to the side of the road. She looked further and saw the ambulance. Kayla parked her car and walked over towards the ambulance. She saw a young teenager, covered in blood and dirt. That's when she recognized who the girl was. She knew the girl, her name is Ashley Romow. Her mother Tiffany was best friends with Kayla's sister Becky.
"Ashley, what happened?" Kayla asked the girl.
Ashley looked at Kayla and started to cry. "I couldn't sleep, so I decided to take my dog for a walk. Well, I was walking Maxi when all of a sudden the bear came barreling out of the bushes and tackled me to the ground. I tried to fight it off but all it did was make it madder." The young girl said with tears running down her cheeks. Kayla took a step closer to Ashley to really examine her. She had puncture wounds on her fore arms and cuts on her face and neck.
"I'd probably be dead if Jamie hadn't heard me screaming and shot the bear." The girl continued.
