Scars

I woke up with a deep pain in my lower abdomen. I sluggishly moved the sheets and lifted my gown up. There was a horrible looking scar along the entire portion of where my ovaries should be. I could only think of one thing that would cause such a bad scar. Letting out a loud sob, I clutched my stomach. A nurse ran in and I paid her mind as I couldn't wrap my head around it. "Hey Raelyn, you have to calm down okay." 

That voice! I knew that voice. My glassy eyes shot up to see Georgia. Georgia! "G! You-You're here! What-why-how-just what?" I couldn't get my sentence out through the hiccups. She smiled and wrapped her arms around me. "Jensen called me. Told me what happened and we booked the first flight here. Raelyn, why didn't you tell anyone?" I hung my head in shame. "I mean, I had been hurting pretty badly lately, but I was selfish and didn't want to hear what was causing the pain because I knew. God what are they gonna say?" Georgia looked confused. "They? If you're talking about your foster family, I know they'll be very supportive and help you with this. If you're talking about the fans, they can shove it if they have anything to say. No one is going to be mad about this anymore Raelyn. That terrible woman is behind bars for good." I started tearing up again. "I can't get past her G. She's always going to be in the back of my mind. I still flinch when Danneel comes near me too quickly. The look on her face Georgia, the look." Georgia pulled me closer to her warmth and I rested my head on her shoulder. 

"I know that you'll never be the person you want to be since that woman took a hold of you. I know you know that they aren't her, but you have to really believe that. This may be something that you never will get past. People may say that things will get better, but sweetie, she put you through some horrible things and none of that is on you. The blame is on that demon of a person." Her kind words and her slight rocking helped ease my mind, but like she said, I'll probably never get over it. "Did-Did they have to...?" I trailed off and gestured to my lower stomach. Tears quickly filler Georgia's eyes as she nodded. "They tried to just remove the tumor and cancer cells, but it was better if they just fully took them. I'm so sorry baby." I couldn't get a word out so I kept nodding my head, letting the tears fall. "I love you Georgia, but can you go get them?" I choked out. She nodded in understanding and rose to get them, but kissed my head before she left.
