Chapter 17

beep. beep. beep.

I could hear the feeble sound of the machine when I tried to open my eyes again. Just forcing every last bit of my brain to know, if I was okay? If mom was still with me? If all of this has all been just a nightmare?

A nightmare.

And all those feelings crept in again. All those, screams that left my mouth, all those hands that we're on me, all those who degraded me...

And my eyes shot up and panic flushed in me. I was still in hospital, on the same bed, surrounded by those same scary machines. I was here, I was suffering and I was degraded.

I want it all to end. All this pain & suffering. I wanted to let all these disgusting feelings out. Out of my body &  out of my memory.

So I screamed.

I screamed with all the energy I had. The energy that came from the very core of my stomach. I forced it out of my body & with a jerk, I sat up, screaming on the bed.

I was letting it all out. The feeling of disgust, anger, helplessness... Everything that brought me in this condition.

I was screaming on the top of my lungs when the door to my room opened and people rushed in. I could recognise the faces.

They were my people.

Tamara and mom rushed in the room. Kevin with the lady in white coat, following closely behind. I was still screaming when, a tearing Tamara came close to me & held my arm. And mom on the other side of the bed, hugging me as firmly as she could.

Their embrace was soothing but, not enough to calm the storm inside me. I stopped screaming and stayed still like that. Looking at the lady in white coat & Kevin. He had a look in his eyes. One that I never saw, especially not for myself. And now I knew.

Everything has changed.

I stayed like that for seconds until I realized my cheeks were drained in my own tears.

Mom seemed to notice it & held me tighter. So did Tamara. She was weeping & sniffling by now. And mom was in tears too. The two most important womans in my life were in pain, because something happened to me. Something that should've never happened. Something I wouldn't believe ever happened. Something no one should go through.

I was raped.

The lady in white, slowly walked closer to the bed & held mom. She was helping her calm down & comfort her. The lady then, again laid me back & I did, without uttering a word. She then, calmly held a little ampule & filled the injection with It's contents. I laid their, looking at her. As she cleaned the place on my arm with a cotton sob and injected the contents in my body. It should've hurt. More than it did. But it was nothing compared to the fire crawling under my skin.

I laid their, knowing I would pass out soon. But then I looked at Tamara. And she was still in tears. I could see the pain & sympathy in her eyes. Something I never wanted to see in her eyes for me. So finally I asked her the question, I've been dreading to ask her.

"Wh-where is Sa-sasha?"

My voice barely above a whisper. But she inhaled sharply & I knew she already heard me. She seemed to think for a while as her face changed color. She looked at Kevin at first & then at mom, before leaning in closer to me.

"H-he...he's still not here... He'll be here s-soon."

She whispered hesitantly. Those words were enough for me to lose hope. And I closed my eyes, hoping to get engulfed my darkness sooner.

Even through the closed eyes, I could feel my eyes filling. And finally tears rolled down through the edges of my eyes.

I lost everything.

My body.

My mind.

Hope.
