Abby

I got home and I felt numb. Why was this happening to me? What should I do? I couldn't burden the Mathews with this.

I was at the front door. For some reason I couldn't go inside, I hope Chase isn't home. I opened the door and went inside.

I saw someone on the living room. When I found out who it was, my heart started to race.

"What are you doing here Michael?" I asked him.

"Well, well, we'll. If it is isn't nerdy Abby. Or should I say slutty Abby" he said as he rose from the sofa.

I slowly backed away. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see Chase. He bought my story about not knowing what my sister was up to. He forgave me and said I could hang around while he was at school." He said giving me an evil look. "Why don't we have some fun while we wait for him" he said. As soon as he did I tried to run but he caught up to me.

He carried me over his shoulder and took me into my room. I kicked and screamed all I could. He slapped me hard in my face. I started bleeding from my nose. He pulled my shirt over my head. I was screaming and shouting at him to stop. He ripped my pants down I kept on resisting and he slapped me again. I was able to knee him in his balls and got out of the bed. I was I only able to reach the door of my room when he yanked me by my hair. He took me back to my bed. He was on top of me.

"Please stop" I cried.

"Shut up you bitch!" He said and he slapped me again. I could taste blood in my mouth.

I was starting to dose off but I never stoped protesting. Then I felt Michael get pulled off me and everything went blank.

I woke up in the hospital. Chase was by my side. "Chase?" Talk about a Déjà vu.

"Oh my goodness Abby. Are you ok? Did he... Did he....?"

"No he didn't." I told him.

He nodded. "Did he try this before." I looked away from him and nodded.

"That son of a bitch, I should of killed him!" Chase said.

"What happened?" I asked him. He looked away.

"I forgot my homework at home, so I drove back. When I opened the door I heard yelling and crying. I ran to your room and I saw him on top of you. I yanked him off and beat the shit out of him. Then I called the police and he got arrested. The police came and interviewed the doctors about what happened to you. They should come in shortly to ask you some questions" I nodded at him.

The police came about 10 min later. They took my statement and left.

Then my doctor came in. It was Dr. Lansky, my hematologist.

"Miss Avery are you ok? I just saw you in my office. The bleeding you you had today was substantial. With your condition you have to be more careful."

Chase cut in "condition?" He asked the doctor.

"Yes Miss Avery needs to be careful. Any type of bleeding could be life threatening."

"Doctor what are you talking about?" Chase asked him.

Shit. I haven't told anyone. "Miss Avery, I suggest you talk with your family. You can't go thru this alone. I'll give you two a minute." The doctor said and walked out.

Chase turned to me. "What the hell was he talking about Abby?"

I sighed "Chase I have aplastic anemia." I said.

"What the heck is that Abby?" He asked immediately.

"It a condition where my body doesn't produce new blood cells" I said.

"Ok how bad is it? What's the treatment?"

"Um I'm not sure" I said looking down.

"Abby don't lie to me" he said with a stern look. He never called me Abby. Unless he gets mad at me.

"I need a bone marrow transplant and immunosuppressants. It's hard to explain" I said looking down.

"Ok I'll donate some" he said.

"It's not that simple. I have a weird blood type and I can't receive it from just anyone" I said still not meeting his gaze.

The doctor came in and Chase asked a billon questions. He wouldn't look at me. I could tell he was upset.

"Ok Miss Avery, we have to give you a few transfusions and some antibiotics and then you'll be able to go home. Make an appointment to see me next week." The doctor said before he walked out.

"Why Abby?" Chaee asked me. "Why didn't you fucking tell me?!" Chase asked me.

I started crying "because Chase. I didn't want to burden anyone. I just found out myself. I didn't know what to do. I was scared ok!" I said crying.

He punched the wall and screamed "awwww!" Then he walked out of the room and left me there crying.
