This chapter is inspired by the Celine Dion song This Time. I recommend you listen to the song to get the feel of this chapter. Also there is some violence in this story.
Ji Yeon lay in the hospital bed listning to the ticking clock up on the wall. She noticed it had been a few hours since her parents left. She couldn't sleep in the stiff white sheets that covered the bed. The dim light from outside offered little comfort. She jumped as she heard footsteps outside the door, his footseps. The all to familiar heavy footsteps that meant trouble.
She sat up, rubbing her small baby bump."Don't worry baby. I won't let him hurt us anymore." He always told her she deserved what he did to her and then the next day he would act like nothing happened. She was a victum of a poisoned love. She had been living this nightmare for years now and she had had enough.
She lay down and pretended to be asleep as she heard the heavy wooden creak open and those same all to familiar heavy footsteps come closer. Every nerve in her small body fought to stay still. She flinched as she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." The kind male nurse said."I just need to check a few things but if you want I can get your mom.
Ji Yeon nodded." Yes please." She felt like a child once again in the hospital and needing her mom. She couldn't help it. She really didn't want to be alone with a man right now, even one she knew wouldn't hurt her.
As she waited on her mom to come do the whole stay in the hospital routine she vowed that this time was the last time.
