I woke up on the ground. It was raining out, I was cold and drenched so I knew I've been out here for awhile. Where the hell am I? I try to remember what happened. What can I remember last. I remember going out to the club with Adam for my birthday. I remember seeing him talking to that bitch, Sarah. Why can't I remember how I got here? Where even is here!! I have to get up. I open my eyes and see a long road with tall buildings on the side. I'm in the city. I get up, my head is pounding, my legs hurt and they're bleeding. Or my stomach is bleeding? Oh my gosh I have to get cleaned up.
I start walking down the road. No cars, no open stores, I see no one, nothing. I finally find a bar that is open. I go inside and head to the bathroom. Luckily I find an open stall. I push my way through and shut the door behind me. I start wiping the blood with toilet paper and notice bruises all up and down my thighs. What the hell? I can't even find where I'm bleeding from. Maybe it's not my blood? Oh my gosh. I run out of the stall and look in the mirror. My face, it's not even recognizable. My eye is swollen, almost shut. I have scratches everywhere, a busted lip. What happened to me? Where is Adam!!
"Mrs. Swayer Heart?"
I stand up to greet my nurse as she walks into the examining room.
"Hi Nurse."
"Mrs. Heart. Sit down please."
"What's going on? Am I okay?" She looks at me with dough eyes. She has a sly smile on her face, but it's not a happy smile. It's a sympathy smile.
"Mrs. Heart, we did tests on you. We examined the bruises and the scratches. All the examinations give us reason to believe that you were raped last night. I'm so sorry. We have a detective here who would like to speak to you" I gasp. Am I hearing this right??
