Die By My Own Hand

Chapter 18

Faith

I want to get out of these binds! Just as Tim was about to speak police run through the door with Missi following. "Hands up!" they yell at Ben. He complies but he is not happy. Before Tim could get close I was whisked away in an ambulance. Bryon mad sure they were following. "Mrs. McGraw how did you acquire each of these injuries?" the paramedic asked. "Most came from being hit. The blood on my legs is from him raping me. Then the cut is from the man as well." "What about the black eye and bite marks?" "From the man as well." I whisper lying. "When we get to the hospital the doctors will examine you more properly and get that wound stitched up." the journey to the Emergency Room was quick and again I was whisked off to a room. All I want is Tim. "When can my husband come back?" "When we get you all cleaned up." that process felt like eternity.  I get placed in a temporary room and he finally walks through the door. I jump up and into his arms. "I am so sorry." he whispers crying. "I am never touching or drinking alcohol again." I hold him tighter and he returns the gesture. "Just hold me." I say crying now. Nothing could make me want to move. Then I remembered the huge cut on my side and I reluctantly pulled away. "Everything okay?" he asks panicking. "Yeah. This hurts." I said moving the section of my shirt away to reveal the bandage. "Wow. What was that for?" "Byron wouldn't admit to thinking about me sexually. Which he doesn't." "They didn't give you a change of clothes?" he asked referring to the shirt that Ben cut in half. "Nope." Tim sighed and unbuttoned his flannel shirt, leaving him in his white t-shirt. "Here." he says helping me out of my destroyed one and into this warm one. "Thank you." I said pulling it close and breathing in. "This doesn't even begin for me making up to you." he said rubbing my face. "We need to talk." I said as the doctor walks in. "Okay Mrs. McGraw, you confirmed that are of the trauma to your body came from the man who kidnapped you?" she asked. "Yes ma'am." I said not looking at Tim. "Okay. Well you should be okay to go. Just monitor the pain and if you start bleeding again you need to come back asap." the doctor said looking at my chart.
