    The ride to the clinic was quiet.  I can tell Penny is nervous.  Cherise is reassuring her that she will stay with her the whole time.  I speak up and tell her I will also be close by if she needs me.  We arrive at the clinic and sign in.  We are the first ones there so hopefully she will not have to wait a long time.  I see her wringing her hands and chewing her lip.  They come out and call her name.  She stood up and then froze but Cherise walks up to her takes her hand.  They give each other a smile and follow the nurse to the back.  I am keeping an eye on everyone that comes in.  I see a woman walk in and sit in the corner.  She looks familiar to me but I have no clue who she is.  I text to let Prez know she is in the back so hopefully we will be out soon.  I will be glad to get back to the club where I know she will be safe.  

Cherise

     I am in the room as the nurse ask Penny some questions.  It breaks my heart to hear that she was raped for her first time too.  I nearly sob out loud when she tells the nurse that she has been treated for STDs several times.  Last treatment was six months ago for gonorrhea.  The nurse steps out of the room as I help Penny undress for her exam.  I see the bruises all over her back.  Some are fresh so are a few days old.  I also see a foot print bruise on the middle of her back.  She has a big bruise on her left side near her ribs.  I see scars that look like someone may have cut her.  This poor girl, the pain she must have felt.  She gets her gown on and I help her get settled back on the bed.  The doctor and nurse come back in the room.  She does the exam and ask her some questions.  The doctor lets us know she will send off the test to check for STDs and also she wrote her a prescription for pain medicine.  She felt her ribs but determined they are most likely just very bruised not broken.  She instructed Penny to rest and take the medications when the pain becomes too much.  She looked over to me and told me she would be in touch in few days when all the test results are in.  I help Penny off the table and to get dressed after the doctor left.  I get the paperwork to check her out from the nurse.  I watch Penny as I settle the bill with the receptionist.  She is so pale and looks so tired.  I plan on making sure she gets plenty of rest so she can recover and hopefully figure out what she wants to do.

     As we step out into the waiting area I see Razor standing looking at the window.  I walk over to him but right before I make it to him I hear someone say "Cherise."  I know that voice, it belongs to the woman who gave birth to me.  I haven't seen her since the day my father sold me 10 years ago.  I begged her that day to save me.  i mean what kind of mother watches her daughter be raped and sold.  Apparently mine does that's who.  I ignore her and grabbed Razor's hand then dragged him and Penny to the van.  I continue to hear my name being called as I hurried to the van.  I do not want to see or talk to that woman ever again in my life.  She may have given birth to me but she is no mother of mine.

     I heard the older lady calling Cherise's name.  I am shocked when she grabs my hand and dragged me out of the clinic.  I don't say anything as we pull away to head back.  As I look in the rear-view mirror I see the lady run outside then see an older man meet up with her.  They watch as we drive away.  As I ask Cherise " Do you mind explaining to me what just happened?"  She turns her head to look out the window and says nothing.  I know I need to inform Prez about this because I got a bad feeling about it.  I head to take the girls to the pharmacy to get Penny prescription filled.  Thirty minutes later we are finally heading back to the clubhouse.  I plan on finding Prez and talking to him as soon as I get back.  We park the van and I open the door to help the girls out.  Cherise steps out but stops.  She says "That was my past calling me Razor."  She had such sorrow on her face.   She then steps inside the clubhouse.  You can't help but wonder what has this girl been through.
