Sorry for the short chapter...

"I'm so sorry for what happened to her Mr. Hernandez, I truly am. It's a terrible thing and I hate that this has happened." The doctor — Dr. Quintez said for the fifth time.

My heart was aching strenuously as I watched Adaline's unconscious figure lay there, limp. She peered so lifeless and pale compared to her usual enthusiastic self. I clutched her flaccid hand and kissed it connect it to my lips gently while a tear rolled down my cheek. I hated seeing her like this. She didn't deserve this.

Dr. Quitntez bit his lip and nodded curtly before proceeding. "Considering her...condition...she might be eligible for panic attacks, flashbacks of what happened, depression or anxiety of persistent fear. She won't be herself for a long while, don't try to rush her back into her normal everyday life," He picked up a piece of paper from a nearby counter, he sent me a sad look before hiding it.

I snatched the paper and quickly skimmed it. "What the fuck is all this? Zoloft? Ativan?" My eyes skimmed the list of hefty medication for anxiety and panic disorder. "How do you know it'll be enough or too much?"

Quintez sighed heavily. "Considering she passed out and was bleeding out her vaginal area, I believe that it is only good that we try and keep her as healthy as possible."

I flung myself hard in the back of the seat while running my hands over my face and into my disheveled, unkempt hair. "This is my fault...Fuck. If I had gotten there quicker or-or fucking kicked him out..."

"Mr. Hernandez, It's okay. I understand how your feeling..." He said with a sigh. "Does she live alone or stay with you?"

"She lives with her family but that fucker keeps coming to her house and weaseling his way into it."

He nodded taking the sheet back and drawing a few things on it before glancing up. "If that's the case if it's okay with you, could you keep her with you? If you don't mind me asking...what is your relationship with Ms. Adaline-Rose?"

"She goes by Adaline and we're dating."

"Well, Once she wakes up we'll be holding her overnight and performing a few tests. Then we'll see what meds she needs."

A Few Hours Later

She unexpectedly jerked up, breathing heavily as her eyes flickered around frantically with fear-filled eyes. I heard her heart pounded harshly and loudly in her chest.

"Baby, Baby," I quickly got up and grabbed her hands in mine, what her reaction to this hurt me hard. My heart stung when she flinched and trembled at my touch. "Your safe, I-I would never hurt you, baby."

She hesitated before practicality jumping in my arms, wrapping her around my neck. She clutched me tightly and sobbed into the nape of my neck. I wrapped my arms gently around her, she discovered against me as I held her close and embraced her. I cried with her.

"I-I know. I-I know. I'm sorry baby. I really am."

She whimpered and cried for a few minutes before I pulled us onto the bed gently and carefully laying beside her shaking body. "H-He's n-not here r-right..." She stammered out shakily.

"No, he's not...Baby your safe with me. We're gonna go home a-and I'm-"

"H-Home? I-I d-don't want to...M-My d-dad an-"

I brushed my thumb over her bottom lip and rested my forehead against hers. "No, no. My house. Your new home. I-I won't let you be unprotected even if he is gone. I want you to live with me and Esme for a few months before you get better...then you can decide, okay?"

She nods her head slowly in agreement, tears staining her cheeks as she continued to cry silently into my chest — A soggy, wet spot blotted my shirt. "H-He touched m-me L-Lorenzo..."

"H-He t-took my v-virginity."

I was crumbling inside. To know that he took her innocence, her virtue. It demolished my soul. She broke her in ways women shouldn't be, he ripped something precious from her. And I was going to make sure he paid.

"H-He t-told me that'd b-be the l-last thing h-he'd d-do."

"Baby...I'm so sorry." I whispered planting my lips on her forehead. "I fucking hate myself for letting him do something like this to you."

He'll pay. I'll fucking kill him.

"I swear it to you. I put it on my life, I'll never fucking ever let him touch you again. I'll handle him. He'll never come near you again," I kissed her forehead repeatedly. "I promise, baby."

"Y-You promise?"

I blinked back hard tears as I listened to her meek, quiet, dullened voice. "Baby I promise. I swear it."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Adaline stiffened in my arms.

"Is this Adaline-Rose's room?"

I nodded and Dr. Quintez came in with paperwork and a brown paper bag. "I'm prescribing her a heavy amount of Xanax, only one pill a day before dinner. Watch her eating habits, let me know if she's not eating right or enough. If her stomach not keeping anything down come back. And I have one more thing to do before you go home," He set the bag down beside me and handed me the paperwork.

"What?" I asked as my eyes skimmed the paper.

"I know this may be unnecessary but you can never be too sure," He took a box and sat it in my lap. "I need her to take a pregnancy test if she's capable to get up."
