All Chapters of To Catch a Dream: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I woke up to a loud banging coming from the entryway. When taking a look around the room, I found my clothing draped neatly at the foot of the king sized bed. I stood up and quickly got dressed. I exited just in time to find my older brothers gawking at me leaving Koa’s bedroom. I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms across my chest. “How was your sleep, little sister?” Isaac teased. I glared at him, causing him to erupt into loud fits of laughter. “Mother wants us at the house. Now.” Dominick interjected. I nodded and walked past them. I spotted a folded piece of paper that had carefully been placed on the top of the piano. I picked it up, skimming the words scribbled, then placed it into my pocket. “Was it a love note? Are you and Koa an actual thing now?” Ethan whispered. I gave a small shrug and chewed on my lower lip. He was one of the people in my life that always wanted me to be safe and happy.“I don’t know…” I mumbled under my breath which he nodded in understanding, deep in th

I was walking home from the post box when I noticed a black SUV watching the house, and more closely, watching me. I pretended not to notice and walked quickly yet casually into the house. “Hey Ethan…” I greeted him breathlessly as he passed me in the foyer. He turned to face me with a worried look. He knew not to ask what was troubling me, until completely safe within the family house. “There’s an SUV that’s been watching me…I’ve noticed it a couple of times now…” I whispered to him. A guilty look crossed his features causing me to crease my brows together in confusion. ‘What the hell is everyone hiding?’ I angrily thought. First there was Koa, then Dom, and now my own twin brother is hiding things from me. I cornered him in the foyer. “Spill. Now. Because you know that we don’t keep secrets from each other. No matter what.” He let out a deep sigh before pulling me into the large family office. “The people who took Mr. Jinx for ransom has been threatening Koa. Apparently it wasn’t j

I dropped to the ground weakly, landing on my back next to Karla and tried to see if I was shot after all when I felt the sticky liquid spreading towards me from Karla's limp body. I heard seven pairs of footsteps echoing throughout the warehouse as they came racing towards me, Koa easily reaching me first since he had always been the fastest out of the group. He pulled me gently into his tight embrace, "Shh, shh, I've got you..You're safe now.." He was smoothing my hair out of my face while checking over my injuries. I looked over at the now lifeless body of Koa's mother and felt my eyes beginning to sting. "It's okay, just let it go.." I buried my face into his chest as the tears quickly made for their escape. I couldn’t believe that this might be finally over. Ethan nervously dropped to his knees beside us and quietly mumbled, "Is she gonna be okay?" I turned my face towards him and saw him beginning to break. I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck as I hugged him, wincing slig

I was anxiously bouncing on the hospital bed while Koa was filling out the release paperwork. I was ecstatic to be finally going home after a week in this dreaded hospital. He came back into the stark white room, seeing me bouncing like the impatient child I was being, and smirked, slightly shaking his head. "Come on, little Dawn. You are now officially free." I squealed and hopped out of the bed. "Was it really that bad for you here?" I nodded, exaggerating slightly.He grinned and held out his hand for me to take, but then looked at me puzzled when I shook my head, smirking. He rolled his eyes, his grin unfaltering then turned his back towards me knowingly. I giggled as I jumped up, then he carried me on his back out of the hospital. Once we were outside, I flipped off the building, "I hope to never see those bitches again!" I shouted towards the hospital doors. I felt Koa shake with his laughter which I quickly joined in.The ride home felt too long, yet too short at the same time.

"Koa?" I whispered as I ran my fingers through his hair. He hasn't moved from his kneeling position in front of me. When he finally lifted his eyes to mine, my heart began to break. His eyes were red-rimmed and the normally icy blue color had turned to a stormy grey."I'm so sorry..." His voice was weak and broken. My eyebrows creased together and he gave a small, sad smile. I leaned down, placing a light kiss on his forehead, then stood up making him follow suit."What are you apologizing for?" I made him look at me. He took a shaky breath attempting to look away again, but I refused to let him."I'm constantly reminded of what I put you through, but I swear that wasn't my intention. Please believe me..." His voice broke especially on the last part. I gave a small smile while I pulled him into a hug."I believe you. I've forgiven you, now it's time to forgive yourself." I whispered into his ear, my arms wrapped tightly around his neck. His hands that were resting on my hips tightened
