Jasper felt Kate's arms around him, the sense of safety and love settling over him once more. He carefully let her see his hand, feeling blood drip from the knuckles where he had torn the skin, a scratch compared to what he was use to. He shook his head when she asked if he had ever received a moments kindness. Not until he had been sent away, Malora had been all hatred and pain, fear and punishment. Kate was the exact opposite.<br/><br/>He did his best to control his breathing, but kept coming back to everything Malora had said, including what she had said about Matt.<br/><br/>He felt Kate dabbing at his eyes and flinched slightly before settling. He listened to what Kate was saying. He knew he had to keep fighting, but after everything that had happened and this moment of reliving it, it seemed impossible. He had to do it though, if not for himself than for Kate. He nodded, finally looking up to meet her eyes.<br/><br/>"Thank you Kate, for everything." He meant it, he still didn't feel he deserved everything she did but Kate was a different sort of person than he was use to.<br/><br/>He also hoped Matt and Abi had gotten away safely. Having heard what Malora intended to do to Matt if he was found.
