                  Chapter 37: The Clinic

                   C H R I S T O P H E R: 🥀

       I stood out in the waiting room. And I just couldn't believe Emma and I sat here. We didn't sleep much after. We explained to our parents of what happened with Lara Jean except we didn't tell them the truth. Only because it would be complicated and too much to talk about. Especially if we had to explain that Josh Scott the CEO of Scott Enterprises is a fucking rapist. It would be hard to really clarify that especially when it's not up to us to tell them.

   Here we are at nine in the morning at a stupid clinic waiting for Lara Jean to get a rape kit done on her. And of course, Emma is calm while I'm not. Lara Jean begged me not to tell Ty about this but I can't. I have to tell him. He's my best friend too and I can't hide this. So I took my phone out and I decided to step outside the clinic right in the parking lot leaving Emma inside. And she knows I'm going through a lot as it is. So I just went into my contacts and I pressed on Ty's name calling him instantly.

   I wasn't sure how I was going to tell him. If I could even tell him. Will this be a shock? Will he blame me? What's going on in my head that I'm so fucking terrified. I thought my head would go to flames and I would catch on fire. I thought I might actually die. And I couldn't handle it. I still can't handle it. And it's driving me insane. What did Lara Jean do to deserve this? And I'm actually dying inside.

    In my head I just kept seeing the images. The images in my head of Josh raping her. The images of seeing him forcing himself on her. And I can't even breathe. It's like it's happening to me and not to her. And I can't even believe what is happening right in front of my fucking eyes. I keep seeing Lara Jean lying there while Josh just fucks her so hard that it's sickening. Especially when she is not in control.

    I knew I wouldn't be able to do it. I knew I couldn't. The line rang and I heard the line pick up.

   "Hey Chris." Ty answered, and his mind might be lost with happiness to hear from me. He knows that I babysat with Emma last night. "How did it go with Emma? Did you perhaps tell her about your plan?"

   The plan, yes. My plan that I actually want to move to Los Angeles. I meant to. But I still haven't. But that's not important. I was still having a hard time breathing from the anxiety. I was unable to. And behind me I saw Emma. She knew I wouldn't be able to do it. I heard Ty faintly call my name a few times as I let my phone slid down from my face while still in my hand and I held it down by my side.

   Emma looked ready to die. She quickly grabbed my phone and I watched her turn her back from me to speak.

   "Ty, hey it's me. Emma. Look, umm....there's been something. Something has happened." Emma said, and I heard distant talking coming from Ty's voice on the other end. "No, Christopher is fine. He's right beside me actually. We're at the clinic. No it's nothing about us. It's umm...it's Lara Jean. Look, I would explain it to you on the phone but I think you need to come here so Chris and I can tell you in person."

   I knew telling Ty might make things worse. But right now I felt like I was in a trance. But I was stuck seeing Lara Jean getting raped. And I was stuck seeing Maya Jude get bludgeoned to death by her abusive boyfriend. And I'm stuck seeing myself getting abused while at that stupid reformed school. It's all happening right in fro to of my eyes again.

   "Yeah that's the one. Meet us here. We'll be in the waiting room. Just get here. Okay? Alright see you soon. Bye." She hung up and then she placed my phone back into my jacket pocket. "Seriously?"
