Divergent : Tris Pedrad

Chapter 46

I was immediately admitted and taken for an examination. It was incredibly uncomfortable but they said that doing a rape kit could help collect potential evidence of DNA of my attacker. Christina was waiting for me to be taken to a regular room. The examination was incredibly uncomfortable but I knew it was necessary to help find out who did this to me. I hadn't spoken a word to anyone except my doctor, who I briefly talked to. They offered to call the police and i agreed but I wanted to wait a little bit. They wouldn't let me drink anything. I could still taste him in my mouth. They also wouldn't let me shower. My blood still covered my legs and face. As soon as my exam was over, the doctors took me for X-rays and bandaged up all my injuries. They cleaned the blood off of me and finally let me drink some water. They took me to my room and gave me my phone, but took my clothes for DNA evidence. I had an IV which administered medicine which helped lessen the pain. Everything still hurt. I could still feel him inside me. I could still feel his hands on me. I could still smell him. I felt tears push at my eyes and I stared out of the window. Pain pressed between my legs. I was still waiting for my exam results from the nurse. I heard a knock at the door and it pulled me from my thoughts. I saw the door open and I saw christina's head pop in. "Hey tris," she said gently, giving me a small smile.

"Can I come in?" She asked, her eyes heavy with worry. 

I gave her a short nod, letting my head fall against the pillow, my eyes drifting shut occasionally. I glanced at the cast on my wrist. I felt my eyes grow wet and tears  began to spill over. "Tris.... you need to call Zeke... they said they'll call your mom if no family over the age 18 arrives," Christina said gently.

I turned my tear soaked face to her before giving her a weak nod, which made my head hurt. "I'll call him," Christina said.

She pulled out her phone and dialed his number. After a couple rings I heard his voice. "Hey Zeke. Um- I need-....Ok,listen, you need to come down to the hospital. It's Tris," She waited for his shouts, leaning away from the phone.

I heard his voice shouting on the other line and Christina cut off. "Just get down here. She's stable. Text me when you're here and I'll get you," She finished and ended the call.

I felt the pain between my legs and I couldn't get my mind away from what happened. I had my dignity ripped from me. My most private parts were seen by someone I don't know. My mind couldn't comprehend how any single person can commit such a heinous crime. How someone can hurt someone both physically, mentally, and psychologically. I could still feel the pain of him inside me, ripping me apart. My nurse came in and silently administered me more medicine. I lazily let my eyes drift shut and I fell asleep, escaping reality.

I released a groan, the pain returning as I stirred awake. I shifted my head, gently grabbing at the soft sheets with my good arm. I let out a dry cough, sending burning pain through my body. I turned my head despite the sharp pain and cracked open my eyes. I felt something warm slip into my hand and I quickly recognized it as a hand. Light flooded in my eyes and I groaned. My eyes slowly adjusted and my eyes fell on Zeke's face. I cringed in pain. His eyes were puffy, red from crying. "Zeke..." I mumbled, my eyes heavy. 

"I'm here baby girl. Im here," he replied, his voice tight with concern.

"Uriah's here too. It's all going to be okay," he said, gently running his hand through my hair. 

I now saw Uriah, who was seated beside Zeke, his eyes also puffy and red. "I'm..... S-sorry," I said, tears now filling my eyes. 

"Tris, this was not your fault, don't you ever apologize, okay?" Uriah said, wiping his eyes quickly.

There was a loud knock at the door and I jumped, my breath hitching in my throat. "Hey, it's okay Ri, it's just a doctor," Ezi said gently. 

A male doctor with dark brown hair entered the room and a blonde woman beside him and I felt myself tense up nervously. Zeke noticed this and grabbed my hand. I didn't know why I was so nervous around him, he was here to help me. "Hi, I'm Dr.Karev. I worked your case with Dr.Robbins. We have your rape kit results. Do you want anyone to leave?"

I looked at Zeke and Uriah quickly and I shook my head. "They can stay," I said nervously. 

The woman spoke, "Okay. It came back negative for any STD's. The attacker didn't wear protection so we took a sample and gave it to the police. The Examiner observed significant bruising and tearing of the vagina. You have some pretty significant lacerations that we treated all over your body along with severe bruising. You have some broken ribs, a broken radius, a pretty severe concussion. We want to keep you here for a few days for observation. In the mean time, we filed the report and the police will want to talk with you but we can push it to tomorrow if you would like."

My eyes found Ezi's. He looked furious. He was clenching his fists in fury, looking down at his lap.  "Um-..... yeah," I said, my hand shaking. 

"Can I check your bandages?" Dr.Karev asked. 

I gave a weak nod and he walked over. I felt myself tense and become incredibly nervous at his presence. He reached for my face and I cringed, jumping. "tris! It's okay, you're okay," Zeke said, grabbing my hand. He immediately stepped back. I opened my mouth and spoke, "I-I'm sorry I-"

"Don't be sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about. I think Robbins should change your bandages, if that's okay with you," he said, giving me a small smile. 

I felt myself relax a little and I stiffly nodded despite the pain. I couldn't help but feel broken. I was shattered. What happened hurt me more than anything before, and I don't know how to heal. 

My MRI went well!!! I get my results monday!!!! I'm so nervous but excited to see if I'm cleared
