After being in the hospital
For a couple of days,
I finally worked up
The courage
To ask the nurse,
Who was making sure
I didn't hurt myself,
If I could get a test done,
To see if I'd been raped.
She widened her eyes
When she heard me speak,
Then practically choked
On her own spit
When she processed
What I asked.
"Oh honey,
Do you want to talk about it?"
She asked me
After telling me
Of course I could get a test done.
Tears threatened to poor out,
So I shook my head.
She just let me cry
Into her shoulder
Like a big fat blubbering baby.
When she left,
I went into the attached bathroom,
And threw up.
I didn't want to,
But if I didn't
I would have all over the bed.
And I have to sleep there.
After the test was done,
I fell asleep.
When I woke up,
The nurse had the results.
She handed me the paper.
I sighed.
I hadn't been raped.
I still don't know
What in the world I did
After the guy drugged me,
But I still have my innocence,
Which I am extremely grateful for.
The next day
I was released from the hospital,
But now,
I have to go through
Rehabilitation
For my problems.
I also have to see
A therapist,
And my school counselor,
Every single day.
I don't get
Why they're wasting their time
On me.
They don't care.
At least,
Not really.
They just do it for the money.
So when I went
I didn't say anything
And fiddled with my hands.

A boy
Was shoved into me
Today at school
When I was on my way
To the guidance counselor.
He looked into my hazel eyes
And said,
"I am so sorry!
I didn't mean to run into you.
Some guy,
Alex, I think his name is,
Shoved me."
I was too busy
Staring in his light blue eyes
To get back up.
"My name is Shane,"
He said.
"Daiha."
I barely heard myself
Whisper
In reply.
I can't believe
I talked to this boy,
Especially a boy.
The last time I talked to a guy
Was 3 years ago.
3 freaking years,
And I randomly
Talk to the first cute guy
Who talks to me?
"That's a pretty name."
He smiled at me, then helped me up.
"Oh crap! I'm going to be late
For class!
I'll see you around!"
Then he disappeared into the crowd,
Leaving me standing there.
I'll see you around, maybe,
I thought to myself,
Before going into the counselor's office.
