Witness Protection

Chapter Twelve

"Hayleigh? Hayleigh, wake up!" I opened my eyes; Chris was gently slapping my face. I looked around; I was still in the bathroom, but what was weird was, I was in my bra and underwear. I sat up, backing away from Chris.
"What did you do to me?" I yelled at him, tears falling down my face.
"Nothing, Hayleigh, I promise. I noticed you had been for a while and people said they saw you come in here, so I came and found you. Just like this."
"I need to go." I looked down at my arm. Blood was running down it. I ran to the sink washing the blood away. Not only had I been cut by something, but there was a little needle hole in my arm.
"Are you okay?"
"Chris, take me to the hospital."
"Um, are you-"
"NOW!" Chris scrambled around looking for my clothes. He found them in a stall, and I put them on. We made our way out of the bathroom and through the crowd. He, once again, opened the door for me.

Chris kept trying to talk to me the whole ride to the hospital, but I was more worried about figuring out what happened to me. We pulled in and I ran into the ER. The nurse immediately put me in a room, and pulled the door shut.
"Ma'am, may I have your name?"
"Hayleigh Sweeney." She wrote it down.
"What happened?" I looked at her, scared, tears starting running down my face again.
"I was at a party. I had an I counter with a friend and after she left, I felt dizzy. I blacked out, and when I woke up, I was only in my underwear." She looked at me shocked.
"Did you come here straight from the party?"
"Yes."
"Alright, sweetie. We're going to have to take some blood. I'm going to get someone in here to do a rape kit. I also need to notify the police." I cried harder. I didn't want to notify the police. I didn't want Derek to find out. She left the room, and shortly after a nurse came in to draw my blood.
"Hayleigh, I'm Addie. I'm going to take your blood and do your rape kit. The police will be here shortly. Would you like to call someone." I thought about it for a minute. I didn't want to tell Derek, but I knew he would help me with anything I needed.
"Yes please." I pulled out my phone and texted Derek.

Hayleigh- Derek, I'm in the ER. Come to the hospital, please. Room 104.

I didn't get a text back, but it wasn't more than ten minutes and he was here.
"Hayleigh, what happened?" He looked worried, which helped me relax. He cared and that's all that mattered right now.
"I'll explain on the way home. Was Chris still out there?"
"Yes. I'm sure he'll be here until you leave. He's worried." Addie walked back in, looking at Derek.
"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave for a little bit." He looked at her confused, and then saw the officers standing by the door. As he walked out, he pulled them to the side.
"Hayleigh, this will only be a few minutes. I promise, and I know this is scary, but it'll be over before you know it." I sat there while Addie did the rape kit. I had never felt so violated in my whole life. Finally, it was over and I was able to get dressed again. She bandaged up the cut.
"Now Hayleigh, not only did we find a date rape drug, but we found heroine in your system. Is there something you need to tell us?" I looked at her shocked.
"Have you seen my arms? Does it look like I'm hiding anything besides that one needle mark? I've never done drugs before in my life." She hugged me.
"You're going to have to talk to the police officers and tell them everything. We won't know anything about your rape kit until tomorrow. I'll be in touch. Until then, get some rest." I walked out of the room and over to Derek.
"Take me home. I'll talk to them tomorrow." I turned away walking out of the hospital, Derek following behind me. What was going to happen to me? Did someone rape me? I couldn't stop thinking about it.
