(Y/n) POV
I awoke in a hospital bed, an IV in my arm and cords hooked up to me. Robbie was sitting in a chair right next to my bed and I could see my friends sitting in the hall through the glass window. "Hey." I whisper.

Robbie looks up and smiles at me. "Hi baby. How are you feeling?" "I hurt. A lot." I answer. My whole body hurt.

A few minutes later, a doctor walked into the room holding a clipboard. "Hello, I'm doctor Shwartz. You are (y/n) (l/n), correct?" "Yes" I choke out.

"Okay. Looks like you are being treated for stab wound to the stomach, stab wound to the leg, massive blood loss, dehydration, and starvation. You were rushed into an emergency surgery when you first arrived and it was successful. You were given a blood transfusion and your stab wounds were treated. Luckily, the knife didn't hit any vital organ. As for the dehydration and starvation, you are receiving fluids through that IV for nutrition. You're going to need some time before you can eat solid food. You went a long time without eating so your stomach needs to work itself back up. Now, this part may be hard to talk about but it needs to be discussed."

I know what he means. The rape. I start to tear up and Robbie notices, leaning down to kiss my head.

The doctor continues, "I was informed that you were raped, is that correct?" I nod my head. "Okay, how many times did this happen?" I look over at Robbie, knowing he's gonna freak when I say this. "28 times," Robbie gasps and grips my hand tighter, but quickly releases when he sees me flinch due to my bruised up wrists. I continue, "almost every day for 5 weeks." The doctor nods and takes notes. "Okay Miss  (l/n), I'm gonna order a vaginal exam. We want to make sure that everything is okay down there." I nod again and look down, trying to hide the tears that are sliding down my pale cheeks.

"Do you have any questions?" Dr. Shwartz asks. I shake my head and look at Robbie. "Actually yeah, how long do you think (y/n) will be here?" Robbie asks. "Well, her injuries are pretty severe so we want to keep her for observation to make sure that everything stays on track. She also needs to stay a while for fluids to get into her system. So I would say at least a week, maybe two." Robbie sighs and nods his head.

"If you need anything else, don't hesitate to press the call button. Your friends are welcome to come in if you want." The doctor gives us a small smile then turns and heads out the door.

I look up at Robbie and I immediately start to sob. He brings his chair closer and softly puts his arms around me. "Baby, it's okay. Try to breathe, you're safe now."

"Robbie," I whimper, "it was terrible. He took my clothes when I got there and then he beat me and raped me and starved me and left me there." I sob into his shoulder. "Sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I wish I could've protected you. I'm so sorry for everything you've been through. God, I've missed you so much." He buries his head in the crook of my neck. "I love you." He breathes out, muffled against my skin.

"I love you too."
