She has been unconscious for four days? That is very long. She heaved.
She balanced her back on the wall and faced the doctor. The nurses went out of the room.
“I am so happy you are alive and awake, young lady. What is your name?” The doctor asked holding her hands.
“Ashley “ Ashley said glumly.
“Okayy….. that is a nice name. Do you want to eat anything?” The doctor asked gently.
“No, I'm fine” she said.
“Okay, I just hope you are fine”
“Yeah”
“Alright….. actually, I want to ask about what happened. Do you wanna talk about it?” The doctor said.
“No”Ashley replied sharply.
“Alright sweetheart “ the doctor replied clumsily.
“I hope you are feeling better “the doctor said not sure of what to say.
“If you are well rested, you can check out this form. Make sure you fill it. It is for the hospital's use” the doctor said referring to a book on the table. He left the room afterwards.
Ashley rest her back on the wall. She feels some aches in between her thighs. Gosh!
Her mind went to the event of the r**e. Layla and the nasty boys. She decided to keep them out of her mind. Now is not the time to think about it.
The most important thing right now is to find a way to die. Yes! She has to die. What on earth is she doing on earth? No family, no friends and no dignity. She is greatly traumatized with no hope of ever recovering. It is more safe to die.
How will she die? Maybe she should look for any sharp object, or go to the toilet and drink disinfectant. Yes. She should just go to the toilet.
She looked around the room.There is no one in the room. It is a private room. She made to stand up but the pains in her legs stopped her immediately.
What? She can not even stand up. She feels so weak from the waist down. She sat back furiously and angry.
She should just die. There is nothing worth living for again.
#Later in the evening.
Ashley is resting on the bed. She heard people enter the room she was staying. They were talking. She opened her eyes to see the doctor and a woman Walking inside.
She stared at the woman. Beautiful, looking classy and posh. She looks more like her mother. She sat up.
“Hey Ashley” the doctor greeted in her usual big smile.
“Hi pretty” the woman smiled.
“Good day” she greeted curtseying a little.
“I am glad you are here, I am so happy “ the woman said sitting on the bed.
“She is the one who found you and brought you here. I will leave too now” the doctor said and walked out of the room.
Ashley was surprised. Found her? Where?
“The doctor told me your name is Ashley” the woman started. Ashley nodded.
“I am Tricia Macke. You can call me Tricia or anything that suits you.” Ashley nodded again.
She held Ashley's two hands and stared into her eyes. Ashley looked at her.
“Ashley, I know you are hurt and I know you feel so bad. You know, I found you by the road side, cold and bleeding badly” Tricia said and Ashley tries to look unfazed, like there is nothing wrong.
“I don’t know what you think Ashley,but I want you to trust me, I want you to see me as an helper because I really want to help you Ashley “ Tricia, the woman said and Ashley scoffed.
Trust her?
Again? Gosh!!!
