Hank bumped into will in the hallway walking out of the jays room.

Hank: oh hey, I've been looking for you

Will: ok what do you need

Hank: they are both asking whether they can see each other

Will: well, we need to get Erin situated into a wheelchair because it's pretty obvious that shes not gonna be able to walk. And we can't move Jay because that's to risky. So we can wheel Erin into jays room.

Hank: alright thank you, when can we do this

Will: well I can go grab Erin a wheelchair and you can go into her room and maybe help me lift her into the wheelchair. Or just do it yourself because she isn't letting anyone but you touch her right now.

Hank: ok thanks

Hank walked down the hallway and into erins room. He knocked on the doorframe. She flinched back.

Hank: hey kiddo

Erin: oh hey, she whispered.

Hank: sorry kid, I didn't mean to scare you

He walked across the floor over to her bed. She moved back. Trying to relax and remember it's just hank. She looked down and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. She moved them under the blanket. Not before hank saw them though. He moved closer to her.

Hank: can I sit on your bed er, I have something to tell you

Erin: uh yea sure

He moved closer to her sitting on the side of her bed. He reached down and touched her arm. She flinced back violently. Startling hank and herself.

Erin: "I'm sorry," she said in a small whisper that was barely heard.

Hank grabbed both her arms pulling them out from underneath the blanket gently. He looked down at her shaking hands. He grabbed both her hands and held them. It slowed the shaking a bit but it was still really noticable.

Hank: kid you don't have to be sorry. It was my fault I scared you.

She looked up at him. She didn't realize but she was squeezing his hands hard enough to make them go white. It wasn't to hurt him intentionally but she just needed to feel a little bit safer.

Erin: so what did you want to tell me

Hank: oh right, so will and I are going to take you over to jays room

Erin: "what, I can't, he won't want to see me" she spoke so fast he barely understood her

Hank: Erin he asked to see you

Erin: how, I know he won't want to see me after what I did

Hank: he knows everything you did was unconsenting

Erin: but some of it was

He looked down at her. Kinda shocked by what she said.

Hank: what do you mean kid

Erin: if I tell you, you have to promise not to think differently about me

Hank: I promise kid

FLASHBACK

He pulled out of her and moaned into her ear. She turned her face away from him. Just when she had thought he was going to get off he started kissing her neck again.

Erin: please don't, not again

Male: this is going to be a little different baby

He unhinged her from the mattress and got off of her leaving the room.
