Yvonne felt her eyelids open. She winced when she came directly with bright lights. It was just plain white. She blinked several times before her eyesight cleared. 'Where am I?' she thought to herself.
"You're awake."
A voice startled her. "So how are you?" a nurse asked looking at her straight in the eyes. Yvonne didn't know what to do. Was she supposed to answer it or make things difficult? "I'm pretty sure you're not a statue so talk young lady," the nurse added.
"I-I'm fine," Yvonne croaked out. Her throat felt dry and the nurse noticed it.
"Right, she needs water," the nurse mumbled to herself before giving her a glass of water. "I know you have a lot of questions but I need answers first. First of all, do you remember what happened?" she asked.
Yvonne zoned out at that moment. She only answered with a 'yes,' 'no,' or 'I don't know.' She felt dirty. It was as if someone touched her in the worst way possible. Suddenly, memories rushed back to her like a wave of tsunami.
She was raped.
Her breath hitched as tears started to form in her eyes.
She's not a virgin anymore.
Yvonne felt a traitorous tear slip down her cheek. She held back a sob when she recalled the feeling of his hands all over her body. "Hey hey are you okay?" the nurse asked with genuine concern. An expression Yvonne rarely see.
"I'm fine," she replied her voice cracking at the end.
"No you're not. Come on tell me what's wrong?" the nurse shook Yvonne's shoulder slightly while looking at her straight in her head. Yvonne stared at her slowly shaking her head.
"I can't. I can't do this. I can't," she chanted again and again. Her knees were closed to her chest as she cried out her misery. Her sorrow was getting the best of her. She didn't want any of this to happen. She didn't want anything to do with this.
She was helpless again.
