Shattered |Maxxie Oliver|

Empathy

Maxxie and I danced after our kiss. We went inside Anwar's party and had fun. After a few songs, a few men came up to Chris,

"Give it back, mate." The man in the middle demanded,

"Huh?" Chris questioned,

"My ring's gone walkabout, cobber, and I've come over all shonky." The man elaborated,

"I've heard that can happen." Chris replied,

"You looking for a touch of this?" The man held up a fist,

"Oh, Merve, we hardly know each other."

"You don't want me and my Joeys to spit the dummy. Because they'll take you lower than a dead dingo's donger." The man, I assume his name is Merve, replied,

"Right. Now they've lost me." Anwar commented,

"Stop it! Stop it, all of you, for fuck's sake!" Angie stood in between the two, "Give it back, Chris."

"Give what back?" Maxxie asked,

"All right." Chris took the box out and it dropped onto the floor

He went down on one knee and picked it up, handing it up to Angie,

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a happy event! A very happy event! Everyone, whoo!" A spotlight shined on the two and everyone cheered,

"No. No, it's not that. Listen!" Angie exclaimed as the music started again,

"It's yours, Angie. Do you want it?" Chris asked,

Angie took out the ring before turning to Merve, "No." She said before leaving,

"Yeah. She loves me." Chris said before Merve punched him. 

A fight broke out and I quickly left the building. I was walking down the street when I noticed Tony on the phone in the road.

"Tony?"

He looked up at me with tears in his eyes,

"I need her."

With a sigh, I wrapped my arms around him, "I know."

I heard a truck honk it's horn and I opened my eyes to see it coming straight for us. Tony put himself between me and the truck.

I screamed as the truck impacted the both of us and everything went black.

...

Maxxie left the club and wiped the blood from his lip. He tried calling Annie but had no luck. With a sigh, he began walking to her house. 

He was nearly outside the house when he saw a police car parked. Two men were talking to Annie's parents, who were crying.

"Where is she?" 

"Oh, Maxxie." Annie's mum sniffled, "She's... There's been an accident."

Maxxie backed away, shaking his head, "No, no. I just saw her. An hour ago, I just saw her."

"She got hit by a truck on her way home. Maxxie, they don't think she'll make it." Her father explained, "We're heading to the hospital now. Come with us."

Maxxie sat in the waiting room for hours with Annie's parents, waiting for news on Annie.

Soon enough, a doctor came out and greeted them,

"She's going to be fine." He said and everyone let out a sigh of relief, "A few broken ribs and a fractured leg. Mentally, though, we don't know how much damaged is done."

"What do you mean?" Annie's mum asked,

"Are you aware that your daughter has been raped?" The doctor asked and everyone's eyes widened,

"How do you know this?" Her father asked,

"Her genitals and breasts are heavily bruised, and it wasn't from the crash." The doctor answered. "We could do a rape kit on her, but if it's been longer than 72 hours since the incident, then nothing will show up."

Annie's mum covered her mouth and let out a sob. Maxxie turned and punched a wall before storming out of the hospital.
