Next Day

My eyes started to open slowly, I could see the light as my eyes opened. I looked up at the celling it was plain white with little dots on it.

I slowly turned to the side to see Mum sat there, I couldn't speak something was on my mouth. I wiggled my fingers then slowly brought my fingers to my face my fingers traced what was around my mouth and nose.

It was a mask. A lady in blue uniform walked over to me and moved the mask away. She looked at me and gave me a smile "Hi River "

"Hi "I said my voice was croaky

She nodded at me then slowly helped me to sit up on the bed. Daniel and Nate was sitting on the chairs in front of my bed asleep snoring and drooling on each other.

I smiled at them it was so hard to make them get along.

Cara walked in and she looked at me she ran to my bedside and threw her arms around me into a bone crushing hug. "I'm so glad you are okay "Cara said not letting go of me "You don't know how much I missed you "

"I was only gone for a few hours probably "

She let go of the hug and tear streamed down her face "I'm so sorry " she sat by my legs on the bed

Then it all came back to me. I was raped. Beaten up to death. Left for dead.

I felt dirty. Used and Abused.

"River "Mum said softly "Are you okay?"

I looked at her. What kind of question was that? I'm okay?!

"Mrs Allen "Alex said as she walked into the room "Mr Allen is outside waiting for you "

She nodded and got up from her chair she looked at me she kissed my cheek "I'll be back dear "then she left the room.

"Hey "Alex said as she took mum's seat "Want some food?"

I shook my head for no, Cara looked at me "You are going have to eat "

"I don't want to "I snapped "I've been raped okay! I feel dirty and filthy. I feel used and abused. And all you guys want to do is want to give me food! Just leave me alone "

Alex looked at me "We just asked "Alex sighed "We know "

"Then if you know then why are you asking stupid questions?"

"Because we just don't want to approach the topic just yet "Cara said

"Well guess what? I went through it! It is going to replay in my head every single day of my life. I just want to be left alone "

Nate yawned and opened his eyes he looked at me "River!"

I looked at him I was going to cry. He quickly got up from his seat and walked over to me. He hugged me. His hug was different. It was meaningful. It made me feel a tiny bit safe.

He let go of the hug "You don't know how long I've been waiting for you to wake up "

I looked at him then the tears started streaming down fast like a waterfall. Nate looked at me and rubbed my hand "It's horrible what happened to you "He said "It is so horrible but I'm here for you "

Then his phone buzzed he checked it and sighed "I have to go got work "

I nodded and wiped my tears away with the blanket I had over my chest "It's fine "

He looked at them "Take care of her "then he left the room

Cara looked at me and got up "I'm going to get a coffee"she turned to Alex "Wanna come?"

She shook her head for no then Cara left. She looked at me "River "

I looked at her "Yes?"

"What's wrong?"She asked as she bit her lip "you are normally not like this "

Did she honestly just say that? I chose to ignore her question. "Has Max came by yet?"

She looked at me her eyebrows furred together "Why would he come?"

"He was the one who called the ambulance "I replied "He was looking for me then found me in the alleyway he was telling me not to close my eyes "

"Maybe you should get so rest?"

I looked at her "What if I don't want to rest?"

"I'm going to get a Taco Bell "She got up from her seat "I'll get you one "then she left.

Daniel rubbed his eyes and stretched his arms as he opened his arms. He looked at me "River!!!" He ran to my bedside "You are awake!"

He threw his arms around me and gave me a tight hug he let go of the hug "I'm so happy to see you awake "

"Thanks nice to see you awake as well "

His stomach started to growl I looked at him "Go and get yourself something to eat "

"Will you be fine to be left on your own?"

I nodded he hugged me again the left the room. I looked down at my hands. The nail marks still there. My dressing gown had sleeves I slowly rolled the sleeves up to see the marks. Blue and purple bruises.

A few tears slipped I wiped my tears away then I saw my bag. Just by my bedside.

That was at the office. Max would of brought it. He would of. He knows I leave my bag under my desk.

I swayed my feet in front of me and placed my feet on the floor as my hands were on my lap. I slowly brought myself up and walked towards my bag.

I picked my bag up and sat down on the chair. I pulled out my phone from my bag. Two missed calls from Dipshit. Max called me when I left his office. I did my passcode and went on texts.

Me~ I'm awake.

There was no reply.

Me~ Thanks. I owe you one.

Still no reply.

Me~Can you come and see me?

Nothing.

Me~ I don't know why you are ignoring me but I want to talk to you.

Nothing.

Me~ DONT ANSWER MY TEXTS! THEN!

Me~Fine don't. I have had such a bad day and the fact that I'll have tests and everything by the police and you won't be there means I won't do it I swear Max.

Still nothing.

Me~You are still selfish. When I need you right now. I just found out what kind of friends I got. I haven't got no one. I bet my mum just left for work. I want to be left alone but I want to be left alone with you. It doesn't make sense but I need you right now.

Me~Play it this way. Thanks a lot. Now I really haven't got anyone. I'm dirty and filthy. A dead rat is better then me. I've been raped.

Tears started and I cried and cried.
