Chapter 12

Carter got a phone call in his meeting so he ignored it. It wasn't until his receptionist told it was important that he actually answered.
"Hello?"
"Hi is this Carter Jackson?"
"Yes I'm in a meeting right now so if you don't mind unless it's really important."
"I'm calling from the hospital. We have Rocky here."
"What happened?"
"We don't know. She was brought in by a couple she's pretty tore up."
"I'm on my way."
Carter rubbed his temple and waved to the men in suits as he walked out the room. He told his receptionist to tell the men what happened and he made his way to the hospital. When he got there the nurse showed him where Rocky was. He was surprised to find her awake when he walked in. He rushed over to bed and looked her up and down. The doctor was right she was pretty tore up. She had cuts all over her face and her right leg and left arm was bandaged up.
"What happened?"
"I was walking home alone and some guys captured me. They brought me to an abandoned house and he did something to my arm. H-he raped me and then let me go. I fell on a bear trap. Some couple picked up and drove to the hospital. If it wasn't for them I would've died I think."
When Carter heard this he walked over to her and hugged her.
"I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry it's all my fault. I'll be right back I'm going to ask the doctors what he did to your arm ok?"
"Ok."
He walked over to the doctor.
"What did he do to her arm?"
"He put a ruler in it."
Carter stepped back when he heard this. He didn't want to tell her. He walked back over to her relieved that she had fallen asleep. Hopefully she forgot what she asked him...
Finally she was released from the hospital. Carter watched her sleep after he laid her in the bed. He couldn't believe all the stuff she had gone through. He pulled off his pants and jumped into the bed with nothing but his boxers on. He tried to fall asleep but couldn't help thinking about how it was all his fault. He sat there in his misery before getting up and walking into the kitchen. He pushed his fingers through his hair and rubbed his temples. He couldn't stop thinking about somebody else touching her. He shivered and tried to push the thoughts aside. The thought was creeping away when he fell asleep on the kitchen floor.
