When they released me from the hospital my whole body felt numb from the pain. The doctors said I had a concussion , a small cheekbone fracture, some fractured ribs and a dislocated elbow they managed to put it back in place which hurted like a bitch but I didn't want to take any pain meds.

When I changed into comfortable clothes I saw my body and my face in the bathroom mirror. My ribs had bruises that where now turning purple and in my arm you could see bruises in the shape of his hand but my face was the worse. I had a black eye, a cut in the fractured cheekbone, and a split lip.

I put some joggers a tank top and one of Aaron's sweatshirt. Wearing it made me feel safe, I felt so scared. That guy managed to trigger my memories and made me remember some horrible things about my past.

I asked Stefan and Santi to take me back to LA I needed to leave Long Beach it brought to many bad memories. And I didn't want my dad to see me like this. By the time we started driving back to LA it was already 2 in the morning.

When we got there I was asleep so both of them just carried me inside so that I could rest, but when they laid me in the couch I asked them to please stay. They both stayed the night and when we woke up this morning they made me some breakfast. They helped me unpack my bag and clean the house.

It was now 6 and Stefan went with Sofia to a date he had promised her, and Santi said he would stay here with me. I decided I wanted to take a shower and Santi said he would order some pizza and wings to lighten my mood.

When I got out of the shower I wrapped myself in a towel because there was a knock in my door. Santi said he needed to run to his apartment real quick but that the pizza should be there in about 15 minutes. I told him it was okay. When I looked at myself in the mirror and looked at the bruises I had a flashback of the attack and I kind of just stood there. Until there was a knock at the door.

I quickly put on a bra and panties and got my blue robe and gently put on my arm sling back on. I grabbed a pair of sunglasses to cover my black eye. On my way to the door I grabbed my wallet and opened the door looking at my wallet.

"How much do I owe you" I asked looking up "Stephanie" Aaron said looking at my face concerned. He was carrying two boxes from the pizza place and on the other hand he had roses.

"Aaron what are you doing here?" I asked moving to the side so he could come in. "Santiago called me and told me he ordered pizza and told me I should come over, that you shouldn't be alone" he said walking in and leaving the stuff in the kitchen counter. "Of course he did, he really likes you" I said with a bit of a chuckle trying to avoid the topic about my bruises.

He got closer to me and slowly took off my glasses and I tried to look away but he gently turned my face so I could look at him. "Oh dear God what did he do to you" He said examining my face and looking at my arm. "Its not as bad as it looks.... Did Santi told you what happened?" I asked curious to know how he knew. "No I um.. I was at the station listening to the operation when it happened" he said trying not to cry. "Aaron.." I said caressing his cheek.
