Chapter 57: Nightmares and Panic

⚠️Harm⚠️

Y/N's POV:

I dream of being back in my foster home when I am about 14. 1 accidentally trip, causing the coffee to spill all over my foster dad. His anger is instantaneous, and I run upstairs to my shared bedroom, sitting on the bed, biting my nails, terrified and unsure of what to do. The door swings open, and there he is, belt in hand.

"You stupid bitch, how dare you ruin my morning coffee!" he screams.
Tears well up in my eyes. "Please, no, no," I beg.

"TURN AROUND AND PULL YOUR SHIRT UP!!" he bellows. I do as he says. He hits me hard, over and over.
Tears stream down my face as I cry out in pain. When my back feels numb, he puts his belt back on and sneers, "Make me another coffee.
If it's bad, I'll hit you in the stomach next time." He leaves, and I gingerly touch my back, wincing at the blood.

I wake up, terrified, screaming a little and breathing hard. The monitor beside my bed starts beeping rapidly, and soon nurses rush in.

"NO, NO, DON'T TOUCH ME!" I scream. "WHERE IS ALEXIA? GO AWAY!"

A female doctor enters the room, clapping her hands loudly. "Okay, girls, get out. I'll handle this." The nurses leave, closing the door behind them. The doctor sits in a chair next to my bed, putting on gloves. I'm still breathing hard and crying.

"Okay, Y/N, hey, look at me. You're having a panic attack, okay? I need you to calm down, hey?" She soothes me, placing a hand on my waist and back, moving it up and down gently.
Gradually, I calm down.

"Okay, that was a first impression," She chuckles softly. "My name is Lena. You can call me that, okay?"
"Mhmm," I nod.

"Can I look at your leg?" she asks.

"Yes," I reply. Lena carefully touches my bare leg and opens the bandage.

"Your leg looks better. I'm going to press at some points, and you tell me if it hurts, okay?"

"Okay," I say. She first touches near the wound where l wince a little. She moves a bit higher, very near my thigh, and goes up and down.

"What are you doing?" I ask, feeling uncomfortable.

"Doing my job," she says, pressing a spot that makes me wince. "Okay, all done." Lena puts on a new bandage and says, "You're going to need to stay here for the night. Tomorrow, we'll see if it's better and if you can go home. Also, Y/N, I called your team therapist in Barcelona. You'll need to do a minimum of two sessions a week."

Just then, Alexia enters the room with two cups of coffee. "Hey! You're awake!" she says with a smile.

I smile back. "Oh, you know what I was thinking? I need that coffee."
Alexia wants to hand me the coffee, but Lena takes it. "Sorry, Y/N, but you have to drink this with a tablet."

"No," I whine. "Fuck the tablets!"

"Y/N L/N!" Alexia says sternly. I take the tablets and drink my coffee.

Before Lena leaves, she says, "Oh, and Y/N, no sex for a minimum of a month."

"WHAT?!" I exclaim. "WHY?!"

Alexia puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Hey, it's fine, only one month."

Lena adds, "You should rest now, both of you. We'll see each other again."

"Thank you, Doctor Lena," Alexia says.

"Yeah, thanks," I say reluctantly.

"It's Lena and no problem." She leaves the room.
