When He Saved Me

--- Madisons Pov ---

I open my eyes my vision is blurry I blink a couple of times and try and lift my head. I look around I'm in a room with machines and wires beside me the walls are completely white.

I know this place all too well. Hospitals all look the same completely plain and dreary but I personally didn't mind it because growing up I quickly learned that if I was here I was safe my Dad or Cade wouldn't hit me around doctors and nurses. 

A nurse comes in interrupting my thoughts. "Hello Madison my name is Tara do you know why you're here?" I shake my head. "Your friend Noah brought you in with severe injuries. Can you tell me how you got them?" I shake my head again.

She frowns. "Okay, that's okay sweetie I'm just going to take your vitals and a doctor will be here shortly." She grabs my arm and starts taking my blood pressure.

After she leaves an hour later an older man comes in wearing a white coat. "Hello, Madison I'm Dr Stephan Neal I was the doctor on call when your friend brought you in. Whats your pain level right now." 

"About a 7. What happened?" I grimace as I try and sit up. "Well that's what I was hoping you'd be able to tell me." Flashbacks run through my mind. Cade did this but I won't tell them that. 

I shake my head. 

"Hmm well you came in with a couple broken ribs a strained wrist a concussion and an alarming amount of bruises and cuts." "How can that be when I got on the plane I felt completely fine." 

"In cases that involve such traumatic injuries victims will often go into shock which causes them to not be able to feel the full extent of their injuries. When you got off the plane you came out of shock and felt all of it at once causing you to lose consciousness." 

"Madison theres one more thing we need to discuss." He takes a deep breath and sits down in the chair next to me. "Were you aware you were pregnant?" 

"No." I hesitate my hands trembling.

"When was the last time you were intimate with someone." "2 months ago." 

"You were about 6 weeks pregnant." "Were?" "You lost the baby." "No!" 

"Madison your injuries were too traumatic that the baby could not have survived there was nothing you could have done. The blood and the stomach cramps was you having a miscarriage."

I barely hear his voice my thoughts were too loud how could I have let this happen. I allowed him to do this I should have never gone back. This was all my fault.

"No, no, no what have I done." I sob tears were falling down my face so fast soaking my hospital gown but I didn't care. "I lost my baby." I sob harder. 

"Madison can you tell me who did this?" I shake my head my breaths coming harder and faster. I'm hyperventilating my whole body trembling. I'll never get away from him. I feel a needle prick me and my whole body relaxes before I lose all consciousness. 

(POSSIBLE TW - talk of domestic abuse and rape-)

I'm pacing the waiting room when a doctor approaches us. "Jake?" "Yes thats me." "We have news on your sister."

"Okay go ahead." The doctor looks hesitantly at Noah. "He's fine to hear anything you have to say he was the one that brought her in."

 "Your sister has an extensive amount of injuries. She had 2 broken ribs a sprained wrist an alarming amount of several cuts and bruises we suspect domestic abuse." A shaky breath escapes and it takes everything in me to remain standing. Noah squeezes my arm trying to offer his silent support.

"Do you have any idea who might've done this?" "I uhh I don't know."

 "We took a look at her medical history and she has an alarming medical history starting at the age of 3 for similar injuries."

"At 3 that can't be right are you sure?" "Yes sir. But theres more." "Okay." 

"Your sister she was 6 weeks pregnant she lost the baby. Because of her medical history as well as the extent of your sisters injuries we suspect sexual abuse sir but we can't be for certain unless we do some tests but we need her permission to conduct those tests."

"What are you saying?" "Sir your sister might've been raped by whoever was abusing her."

I collapse in the chair behind me. My eyes well up with tears. I was supposed to protect her why wasn't I there. Why did she not call me. My head falls into my hands and I allow myself to cry for my sister and what she's been through. Sobs shake my entire body. I feel Noahs hand on my back silently telling me he's there for me.

When I look up I see his eyes are full of tears too. The doctor is still there. "Is she awake?" "She was we had to give her a sedative she was on the verge of a panic attack when we told her about the baby so she's asleep now. You may go in and see her now if you would like." 

I nod my head and he motions for me to follow him. Noah stays back.

When I walk in the room and see her lying there hooked up to several machines looking completely helpless it takes everything in me not to start crying again but I don't allow myself to I have to be strong for her.

--- Ashers Pov ---

I'm at the gym taking my anger out on my sparring partner. Boxing helps me manage my anger and my emotions in some ways it's my escape. I hear my phone going off for the thirteenth time.

"Pause." My sparring partner rolls his eyes but walks away to get water.

I look down at my phone Noahs blowing up my phone he never does that so I pick up. "Noah whats wrong."

"Are you with anyone?" "No I'm at the gym why whats going on?" "Something has happened to Madison I'm..." "What the fuck do you mean somethings happened to her." "Let me finish. I'm with Jake at the hospital I'm not going to tell you anything else because if she wants everyone to know she should be the one to tell them."

"Just tell me whats going on Noah!" "I can't do that Asher I need you to calm the fuck down I called you because I need you to tell everyone and get the girls to the hospital. She's sleeping now but I think when she wakes up it'll help her if she sees the girls."

"Okay." Is all I say to Noah before hanging up. Fuck what is wrong with her I told her not to go to California why didn't she listen to me.

I dial Nickys phone. "Hey Ash." "Hey can you make sure you and the girls and Ethan are ready to go when I get there? I'll be there in about 15." "Are we going to see Madison?" "Yeah." "Okay we'll be ready."
