[12] Runaway Love

Reese

Raegan alerted the Doctor that I had woken up and then called our family. They were all on their way to the hospital.

I watched with curious eyes as the Doctor poked and examined me to make sure everything was alright. I was still a little fuzzy and my body ached but for the most part I felt okay. My limbs felt heavy and I had a hard time moving my arms and legs but the Doctor said that with time and the help of physical therapy I shouldn't have any problems.

"You're a very lucky girl Reese." Dr Carmichael said still performing a medical exam on me.

I didn't feel so lucky but I did feel blessed to be alive though. God knows that I could be in a worst situation. "Thanks Dr. Carmichael, when can I go home?" I asked already anxious to leave. Hospitals creeped me out.

He laughed, "Well of course we want to monitor you for a couple of days but if things don't deteriorate then you should be able to go home on Tuesday at the latest.

"What is today?" I asked. It hurt to try to think about it.

"It's Saturday, you've been in a comatose state for a week now. Do you remember what happened to you?" Dr Carmichael asked.

I saw that my sister Raegan was eager to know the answer as well. Did I remember? Of course I did. Who could forget the most terrifying moment of your life? I don't know how I got my head injury but I do remember the last person I saw before I blacked out and it was James.

"No I don't remember." I lied. I saw Raegan put her head down. I knew what she was thinking; I could almost hear the words in her head. She wanted me to say James; she wanted it all out in the open. I don't know why I couldn't say the words. Maybe one day I would be able to say the things he has done to me but at this point I couldn't. It sounds stupid but I was embarrassed and disappointed in myself for involving myself with James and I didn't want to face my father if he ever found out.

James was a famous football player and things would get ugly if this ever came out and I couldn't do that to my family.

After Dr Carmichael was done, Officer Hudson from the Miami Dade Police Department came and took my statement. I lied again telling the officer that I didn't see who attacked me.

"Are you sure Ms Washington? We can help protect you if there was someone hurting or threatening you." He said staring at me. He knew I was lying, I could tell by the way he was looking at me.

"I'm sure."

"Well if you ever remember, I want you to contact me personally." He said handing me his business card with his number on it. "I had a daughter, but she was killed by her boyfriend 2 years ago. She waited too late to get help and I would hate for something like that to happen to you. I know it's hard to talk about those things but when you're ready just give me a call."

I was speechless and didn't have anything to say so I just nodded my head and watched him leave. Raegan and I were left alone. She came and lay on the bed beside me.

"Reesey, you have to tell someone about him."

I sighed; I didn't want to have this conversation again. "I did tell someone, I told you." I said looking at her. She didn't like what I said. I grabbed Raegan's hand in mine and squeezed it. "Just give me some time."

"But Reese he could've raped or killed you."

"But he didn't." I interrupted. "Listen I promise that if something else happens, I give you permission to tell the whole world."
