“She’s fine.”

The security guard went to take Dimitri out of the room and he shoved them off, claiming he could do it himself. Once he was out of the room, I took a deep breath, “Please don’t let him back in here again.” I closed my eyes and let the medicine take over.

With my sense of false security, I woke up not knowing what was reality or a dream. I was sore and really had to pee. I pressed the nurse’s call button and waited. “Yes ma’am, everything okay?”

“Yeah, I just have to pee. I was wanting to make sure I was okay to get up and pee.”

“If you feel up to it, go for it. I can get someone to help you.” I nodded knowing I would probably need some help. I scooted to the side of the bed and tried to force myself to move against the pain. I needed to get better. I was already behind in my classes, and I needed to see how Kale was doing.

Chloe wasn’t in here when I woke up this time, I was alone. Thankfully. I felt like I could get up and walk. As my feet felt the cold tile of the hospital floor, I felt a burning electricity run over my body. I wasn’t ready for that at all. I managed to make it to the bathroom, sit, pee, and reflect. It just dawned on me that I hadn't had my period yet. With Chloe’s revelation and everything that has gone on, I really needed to make sure I put myself on birth control and ensure I wasn’t pregnant. I kept saying I was going to do it, but I delayed it for whatever reason.

Once I finished, I made it to the room and walked around a little bit. The more I moved, the better I felt. Although I was sore, it wasn’t a paralyzing soreness. I fought through the pain. I found a bag with a note beside it.

Hey sweetness, I know you’re probably going to wake up while I’m in class, if so, I have a bag of all of your favorites. I’ll be back after classes to check on you and Kale. Take a shower, and enjoy the quiet. I’ll bring your schoolwork so you can study while on vacation at the two-hour sleep shack. Get it? They check on you every two hours! Anyways, I love you. Xoxo ~Chloe

I looked over at the bag and pulled out a dress, my boots, makeup, and body washes. Since the aide and nurse hadn’t been back in here to check on me, I took this as my chance to take a quick shower and freshen up. A shower never sounded so good!

Once I took off the hospital gown, I realized I had a bruise from my right breast all the way to my knee. It was various colors of blue and purple, some had yellow on them. I guess that’s good. I didn’t know what else to look for. I went to touch where it was the darkest and I couldn’t, the slightest pressure actually hurt me.

The hot water felt amazing on my body. After bathing what I could, using my vanilla bath wash, and washing my face, I felt mostly new. I walked into the room and noticed my father was standing with my mother.

“Get out,” I screamed, “you’re not wanted here. Get out!”

“Starlight, please listen to us. You’re not in any danger.” Mom said. How could she defend him?

“What? What could you possibly say that would make me feel better about this situation? He’s raped me, molested me, and proclaimed he wants to put another child in me so he can abuse her too. How are you going to defend that?!” I screamed. I wasn’t being quiet. Fuck being quiet. They lost the decent daughter they had before. Astara was reborn.

“Listen. Your father made mistakes that jeopardized our name at Groveton. Dean Groveton wants to speak with you first thing this morning.” Mother said, glaring at my father.

“What could he possibly want to tell me? I just want to be left alone, finish my years at Groveton and never see any of you again.” I snapped.

I’m glad I had the shower, because at this point, there was very little separating them from me. I’m glad my boots had a small heel on them.

“Groveton is going to grant you a transfer to any university of your choice as long as you drop the allegations you have against your father.” My mother said, urging me to take the deal. I wanted to see pain in her eyes. I wanted her to take my side on these matters, but she didn’t care. I was just a pawn, a lost cause, a cumdumpster for her husband to use as he pleased. I shook my head waiting for her to push him away. Instead, he pulled her closer. Her eyes bore into me. I swear it was as if she was ashamed of me.

“More hush money?” I laughed. There was never any accountability with these people.

“You can all it what you want b-”

“It’s hush money. I didn’t have allegations, I admitted what took place. Your husband, Eric, and Kevin raped me.” I sobbed. “It’s a miracle you haven’t caught any diseases because there’s no telling who else he’s slept with.” I paused for a minute staring at her. She was stoic, void of any emotions, just blank. Perhaps she didn’t know about it.

“Not to mention, he’s admitted to getting Chloe pregnant, he came in here and wouldn’t let me go back to sleep until I had an orgasm. I had to have him forcibly removed….why are you still taking up for him?” I cried.

The nurse finally returned to the room. I was cornered in the bathroom. In order to get past them or near an exit, they needed to move.

“I see you made it to the bathroom. We need you to come with us to have a few more tests done…” The nurse said. She looked at my parents, then looked at me. I pleaded with her to get me away. I hoped she was fluent in body language because I was yelling for help.

I nodded at her, and she guided me to another room. “Are they abusing you?” she asked.

“It’s hard to explain. They lied to me my entire life. I feel like this is all a lie and a fabrication. He’s not my biological father, so he feels like he can sleep with me and use me how he wants.” I admitted. It. hurt so bad saying it out loud.

“Is that what caused the accident?” She asked.

“I don’t know. I don’t remember the accident…” I whispered, “is Kale okay?” I hated asking but I needed to know.

“He woke up a few hours ago and was asking about you.” She smiled.
