Attacked

Chapter 4

After he left and the doctor came back in and told me I had 2 fractured ribs and that I needed to take it easy for awhile but I was free to go. He wrote me a prescription for some pain meds but overall there wasn't anything he could do for my ribs. I slowly slipped back in my leggings and hoodie. I stepped into my slipper boots and slowly walked out to the waiting room. My eyes were red from crying and I knew I looked like s**t but honestly what did it even matter? When I rounded the corner I heard them before I saw them. Tj was here now and looked super frazzled. Of course she would go into labor today. Tj ran over to me and bent down looking me over, "Fia are you okay? Jen went into labor and when I called Trent to watch Sam he said he was already here." I cut him off, "Go be with Jen we'll keep Sam here. Just go be with your wife." He was hesitant but nodded after a minute and bolted. I saw that Sam was sitting on Trent's lap so I made my way to the other side of the waiting room and sat by the window. I wasn't ready to talk to them yet. Plus now that Sam was here I was going to have to put on my Aunt Fia face and pretend all was well. Pretty soon Tyler came over, "Why didnt you tell me?" I shrugged, "I dont know. I guess I didn't want you all to know how stupid I am. Plus you know I hate hospitals." His gaze hardened immediately, "This in no way is your fault. I see it in your eyes you're blaming yourself. Fia it doesn't matter if you invited him over it doesn't matter if you invited him to the bedroom and changed your mind last minute. As soon as you say 'NO' he needs to stop." He sat down next to me and grabbed my hand, "Fia you cant blame yourself for this. Believe me I see this all the time, but I promise you, no one here will ever think you were stupid or think it was your fault. No means no I don't care if a girl invites a guy over and the whole point is to have s*x but changes her mind. I don't care if she teases the s**t out of a guy and just to be mean says nevermind I'm not in the mood anymore." He sighed and dropped his head in his hands whispering, "I didnt tell them. I know its not my place and I wouldnt of even known if I hadnt have walked in that room." I could feel the tears rolling down my cheeks but couldn't bring myself to talk so I just nodded. His partner walked over and coughed getting his attention. He stood up patting my shoulder, "I have to go are you good here?" He started walking out but I managed to squeak out, "Tyler wait!" I got to my feet just as he ran back over, "What's wrong? What happened?" I threw my arms around him and mumbled, "Be safe tonight.... and thank you." He must've understood what I was talking about because he kissed the top of my head saying, "Anytime sis. If you need any resources or just want to talk to someone let me know. I have some contacts I can get you in touch with." He passed the guys nodding at them and giving a quick hug to Sam before he hurried out the door behind his partner.
