After

What happened?

I woke up to loud music downstairs. I sat up not knowing where I was. I then realize that I'm naked, and I have no idea what happened. I have a really bad headache and my jaw hurt. I tried to find a bathroom and finally found one. I didn't have to go downstairs. I looked in the mirror to see a large bruise on my right cheek. I also noticed a few hickeys on the left side of my neck. I started to freak out a little once I noticed I'm not home. I then start to remember little bits of what happened. I first remembered when I first got to the club for my party. I then remember getting drunk and making out with a guy. I told him I was getting married so I could make out with him and he pulled me back in anger. Then he dragged me up the stairs to the bedroom I am guessing I am in now and I tried to run. Once I got out of his grip he grabbed me again and punched me in the jaw, and that's all I remember. I looked around the room and found my dress. Thank god it wasn't ripped. I put it back on after putting on my undergarments and looked for my phone. I looked around the floor and found it near the door. I picked it up and turned it on.
          Luckily it was still charged. I opened it and went to call Luke. I dialed his number and waited for him to answer. It rang three times before he answered.
"Kara? Is that you!? Where are you and are you okay? Where are you?" He asked in a worried voice.
"L..Luke I need help. I don't remember where I am. I woke up in a random room without my clothes and there's loud music downstairs and my face is badly bruised..." I tried to continue but the door was slammed open.
All my attention went to the man standing in the doorway. After staring at him for a few seconds he started to move towards me. I started to move myself back, I still had my phone up to my ear. I could here luke asking me if I was still there. When I was moving back to get away from the guy I bumped into the bedside table. I could move anymore so I just stood there not knowing what to do. He finally reached me and knock my phone out of my hand. I watched it land on the floor and go under the bed.
I looked back at the man, but as I did I felt a sharp pain in my cheek and I yelped in pain. Being slapped like this brings back so many memories that I want to forgot. It reminds me of when mark slapped me in school and when I was kidnapped. When I was beaten for months. I just want to get this out of my head, all of the bad memories from all those years ago. I looked back up but to be slapped once again. This time I fell to the floor while I screamed. I fell close to the phone so I could hear Luke yell my name. The guy picked me up and made me look at him.
"Who are you on the phone with? I'm only going to ask once." He said with a powerful voice.
"No one." I lied.
"BULLSHIT!! Who were you talking too!!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.
" I'm not going to tell you and you can't make me." I said with a straight and my voice full of confidence. He then threw me to the wall. I then slid to the floor and my vision was blurry and I couldn't see anything for a couple seconds.
When my vision was restored I looked over to the guy and saw him down on the ground unconscious. My vision was still a little blurry and my ears were ringing slightly. Then out of no where someone bent down in front of me talking. I could barley make out what the person was saying.
"Kara! Kara are you alright?" It almost sounded like Luke. I could tell what was going on all I knew was that it was really loud and was making my head hurt. Then out of no where I blacked out.
**3 days later**
I could hear beeping; that's all I could hear. No people, no cars, no birds, nothing. I could feel warmth on my right hand though. I opened my eyes only to be blinded by bright light. I opened my eyes again to get them to adjust to the light. I looked to my left and saw sitting chairs and a dresser. I then looked to where I could feel the warmth. When I turned my head to the right I saw Luke sleeping in a chair next to my bed, with his hand on top of mine. I smiled a bit but then it quickly faded. This reminds me of the first time I was in this situation. The only thing missing was my parents, my doctor, my conversation with Luke, and the kiss.
               I looked back at our hands and I intertwined our fingers. I noticed him move is head and slightly opened his eyes. He looked at our hands and smiled.
"You know what this reminds me of?" I asked. My voice very soft. He looked at me and his eyes grew wide.
"Kara!!!! You're awake!" He said excited.
"Yea I am and my face and head hurt." I said
"Yea I bet. Your face is badly bruised." He said.
"How long have I been out for?" I asked.
"3 days.... Kara do you remember what happened?" He asked. I sat there in shock. I've been out for 3 days and should I tell him what happened. I don't think I should. I don't want him to get upset with me because I was the one who got myself in this position anyways. I was the one who got drunk and I was the one who decided to make out with the guy. I tried to make it right though. I tried to stop it, he just wouldn't leave it alone.
"All I can remember is partying then waking up in the upstairs lounge bedroom naked and bruised everywhere." I said partly lying.
"Okay well your safe now." He said "get some rest you look really tired."
"Okay. Don't leave." I said. He smiled and sat right next to me. Once he did I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
NEXT MORNING
I woke up and noticed that Luke wasn't there next to the bed. He was probably getting something to eat or at work. I looked to my hospital bedside table and saw my phone. I grabbed it and saw that I had a few messages, and they are all from the same person; my mother. They all said the same thing,
'Are you okay?'
' what happened!?' And so on. I was still mad at her when she started to yell at me for not telling her about the first incident with Mark. I decided I will talk to her later, I wasn't in the mood. I was still super tired so I decided to go back to sleep, hoping I can go home soon.
