Dirty
Loreen struggles with life, like most teenagers. But unlike a lot of other teenagers, her father is abusive, sexually and physically. It really gets to Loreen but it isn't like she can do anything about it, she has no other family except for...
"She doesn't remember anything about anything," I say looking at her.
The nurse goes over and checks her vitals. "The doctor will be here shortly. He will talk to you," is all she says before she leaves.
Her father stands in the corner with his arms crossed. He stares at me, still. Loreen stares at both of us with confused looks.
"I'm not going to ask you again, boy. Who the hell are you?" he says to me, his voice low.
"Fuck off," I say. "You don't have any right being here and as soon as I can, I am getting your ass arrested," I say back to him. I walk over and grab Loreen's hand. She gives me a quizzical look but doesn't remove her hand.
The doctor walks in.
"Hello. It is good to see that you are still here. Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were here. I am going to assume you are the father, am I correct? Hello, my name is Doctor Buckner. I am the lead doctor on this case. Unfortunately, your daughter took a nasty fall or something and hit her head pretty badly. From what we could tell in surgery, it looked like a table or book or something of the sort. Her brain was bleeding so we took her into surgery to stop it. She has been asleep for the last 18 hours. This young man has been with her from the beginning. He saved her life," he said.
Loreen squeezed my hand but she still looked confused.
"I understand that you might have some questions. First, I want to clear up that she did have a brain surgery and that she might experience memory loss for a while. It could be permanent or just temporary. From what we see, it shouldn't be permanent. It will wear off or just go away completely. Any questions?" Dr. Buckner finished.
Loreen's P.O.V.
The very hot guy grabbed my hand and just held it. I knew that the man in the corner with his arms crossed was my father, but I have no clue what he does or who he is. He seems sketchy and I don't really trust him. I feel comfortable with the guy holding my hand.
When the doctor says that I hit my head, I get flashes of the man in the corner pushing me and my head hitting a table. I squeeze the guys hand.
After the doctor ask if there is any question, the guy holding my hand asks me if I am going to gain all of my memory. The doctor says I should. He just keeps firing questions and the doctors answer them all.
Finally, the doctor asks, "Is that all?"
My dad speaks up and his voice hurts me, "When do I get to take her home?"
Everything floods back. The monster he is. The things he does. And Ethan. The doctor is in the middle of talking and I interrupt him.
"You won't take me home. You won't ever touch me ever again. You will leave this hospital and never look back and I am moving out. Either that or we can do it the long way. I will take everything of mine and leave and you will let me," I say to my father. He looks shocked.
Ethan looks at me and I smile.
"Where do you want your stuff dropped off at?" he asks like he doesn't care.
I don't know what to say. Where am I going to live? Ethan speaks up and says to bring it all here tonight and they will load it into Ethan's truck. All I can do is be happy for the moment.

The doctor tells me that I will be able to leave in the morning but I will have to take it slow on everything. He writes a doctors note saying that I am to be excused from school for two weeks and that I don't get all the homework I missed.
Grayson comes by to say that Emily wants to come in and see her and that she will be here in a little. Grayson takes the note to the school for me. Ethan stays with me the whole time until it is time to go get my stuff from my father. Gray comes back with Emily as Ethan is heading out the door. Grayson says he will go with him just in case there are any problems. Some staff goes with too.
Emily comes over to my bed, her face red from crying.
The only thing I can muster up to say, "So you didn't tell the school... I'm so sorry, Emily. I didn't know," I told her.
"It is okay. I shouldn't have said anything to Grayson. He didn't mean for it to happen," she says.
Before I know it, we are chatting about everything and nothing. She tells me that Gray is so sweet to her and that he stayed with her last night because she was so upset and that he has been treating her like that all day too. She is considering getting back together with him.
I tell her about me and Ethan's kiss and that I am scared. I tell her that it feels like there is a tornado in my stomach whenever he is around. She says that we should go out together.
A little while later, Ethan and Grayson come back up. Ethan had got a small bruise on his face that wasn't there before. Grayson's knuckles are bruised.
Ethan walks over to me and I grab his face. "What happened? Are you okay? What did he do? Are you okay?" I question.
"I'm okay. We had a little trouble but we got it. He tried to hit me when I wasn't looking and he got me, but Grayson-uh- he got him back," Grayson chuckled.
I pull his face in closer to mine and kiss him. He kisses me back with the same force.
"I can't lose you. Please, Please, stay beside me forever," I tell him.
"Always," he says back. He leans in and kisses me again.
*Quick lil note*
