My Joy But Pain

Chapter2

*EDITED*

When I woke up the next morning I got in my car and wept. There was nothing I could do but go home and try to get cleaned up. I had no idea how I was going to tell my mother. She would be absolutely heart broken.

After a what seemed like a ten hour drive home I park my car in my spot and walk inside hoping my mother is still asleep.

"Good morning Vanessa . Did you stay at Tessa's last night?" My mother turns around and gasps.

"Vanessa what happened? There is blood running down your leg, your dress is torn, and your hair is messy? Who did this to you?" When my mother stops speaking I begin to cry.

" I ..I was raped and I think his name was ...was Tyran.. No his name was Tyler."

"Okay hunny, we are going to go to the hospital and I am calling the police . Now just change your clothes except your underwear and brush your hair, don't do anything else." She's being sweet but stern.

I really don't want to but I have too. I put on some sweat pants and a t-shirt,brush my hair and meet my mom in the car.

" Sweetheart can you tell me what he looked like?" She's on the phone, driving cautiously.

"He had brown hair and green eyes." Chilling green eyes.

"Okay,that is all we will need for now sweet heart." She gives me an empathetic smile and I look away.

When we get to the hospital the nurses pity me and one even gives me a small hug. My mother called in ahead of time and called the hospital so that we wouldn't have to wait.

"Vanessa we are going to clean you up . The nurses will take you and your mother may go with."

"Ok. " Is all I can say. While it only takes me two hours to get cleaned up, it feels like days.

"Vanessa lets go home and then you can take a real shower." I nod and get in the car,then we go home. I keep my head down the whole way.

When we arrive at my house I go inside and take a shower right away . When I step into the shower it is the perfect temperature and feels nice because my muscles were tense. After a somewhat quick shower I put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt then pull my wet hair into a pony tail.

"Mom, I am going to Chads I will try to be home before dinner."

"Ok drive safe and just be home before six."I nod and walk out the door. Chad is my boyfriend and I feel like I need to tell him what happened and hope he is not upset. Chad's parents have the same expectations as my mother. So we both wanted to wait until we were married, so sex wasn't a big thing that we had to do right away.

When I get there I knock on the door and he lets me in.

"Hey there is something really important that I have to tell you and cannot wait." He nods and I tell him what happened to me just yesterday. After that he told me that he couldn't date me knowing that this has happened and hoped that we could remain friends, also that he felt really sorry that this happened .

"I totally understand. Bye Chad." My heart broke a little inside. He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. With that I left. When I got home I told my mom what happened.

"Well I am glad that you two worked things out like adults and decided to remain friends. I have work tomorrow and you have a weekend of sleep ahead of you think it's time we call it quits for the day."

I say okay and tell my mother goodnight then go to bed. My sleep was awaiting but I was terrified to close my eyes, but I did anyways.
