Christmas dreams

Trauma

Mia POV

I wake up on my kitchen floor, I lift myself up slightly, feeling pain radiate through my ribs. I look down and my trousers are gone and so are my pants and I see blood. Oh god! Did he rape me? No he wouldn't he couldn't. I don't remember anything after he punched me. I touch my face and flinch. It's so swollen and sore. I reach for my bag and grab my phone. Calling the only person I can think of right now.

Lisa POV

"What do you mean Chris?"
"He seemed off. I don't know Ma, something ain't right about him"
My phone rings and as I grab it I see Mia's name.
"It's Mia" I answer and I hear her crying "Mia honey? What's wrong?"
Chris is looking at me confused.
"Oh god! Okay Mia I'm coming okay"
I hang up and grab my bag, as I'm rushing around Chris grabs my arm.
"Ma what's wrong with Mia?"

I look up and him and I feel the tears fall, he wraps his arms around me and I cry into his chest. How could someone do this to her?
"Mia's been attacked. We have to go to her place now okay"
"What? Who?"
I look at him and I see the anger in his face.
"Chris, calm down. She is the priority right now"
He nods and grabs Luca. We drop him at Scott's on the way. Not explaining why.

As we pull up, I look back at Chris "you have to stay calm okay?"
He nods and we make our way inside.

Chris POV

I look around and I see Mia's bag on the floor and I see blood. I feel my anger boil, but Ma is right I have to stay calm.
"Mia honey"
We walk through to her bedroom, my mum running in, as she moves I see Mia on the floor, wrapped in a blanket. She is bruised and swollen and is crying.

"Oh honey" my mum wraps her in her arms and Mia sobs into her chest. My heart breaks, that disgusting man did this to her. As my Ma is cradling her the blanket moves and I see her with no pants on. Oh god!
"Did he?"
Mia looks up at me, not realising I was here.
I kneel down in front of her, reaching out to touch her and she flinches away.
"Mia......did he rape you?"
She looks into my eyes and I don't even have to hear the answer.

My Ma pull her close again and she continues to cry. I have to hold in my anger I have to breath before I find this guy and kill him.
"Mia, sweetheart we need to go to the hospital okay?"
She nods and my Ma helps her up, I see her fall slightly forward so I rush to hold her.
She grabs my arm and looks up at me, I see the hurt and pain in her face. She leans her head on my chest and I wrap my arms around her.

"I'm so sorry Mia"
She sobs more and more, I gently bend down and lift her into my arms. She wraps her arms around my neck and snuggles into my chest.
My Ma walks in front, opening the door so I can get her into the car. She doesn't let me go, so I sit with her on my lap the whole way to the hospital. My Ma pulls up and parks and I walk inside.

"My friend needs to see someone, she was beaten and raped"
The nurse looks up and I can tell she is shocked that it's me looking back at her. She composed herself and walks me to a side room.
"Can you put her on the bed?"
Mia tightens her hold and shakes her head "Mia, I have to put you down so they can examine you. I'm not going anywhere okay"
She nods and I gently place her down, she reaches for my hand and holds it tightly.

The doctor comes in, a woman with another 2 woman nurses.
"I'm sorry Mr Evans but you can't be in here"
"She won't let me go"
They look to Mia and she shakes her head "please. Let him stay"
"Okay, but he has to stand in the corner okay?"
"Okay" she whispers and reluctantly let's go of my hand.
From there the doctors question her, asking her what happened. The more I hear the worse my temper bubbles. They take photos and swabs and gather all the evidence possible.

I stand there watching Mia, I can see her staring at me. But there is nothing in her eyes, she is void of emotion. This man took a beautiful and wonderful woman, with an amazing spark and broke her. He needs to pay for this. He will pay for this.
