Things Happen
Kim just finished her shift. She went upstairs to get changed. She was getting ready for a date with her boyfriend George. She was wearing a short light blue skirt and a pastel pink Spaghetti strap. She had her hair pulled up in a french twist.
Kim walked downstairs and ran into Bobby. "Hey Bobby," Kim said in a cheery voice.
"Hey. You going to a party?" Bobby asked unable to keep his eyes off her.
"No I'm going out with my boyfriend," Kim replied. She liked Bobby, but she didn't think he liked her back. So she decided she had to start dating.
"oh, well have fun," Bobby said disappointed. He liked Kim, but he could tell she didn't feel the same. Otherwise she wouldn't have a boyfriend.
"Well I have to go. George doesn't like it when I'm late," Kim said with some fear in her voice. She was afraid of what George might do to her if she was late again. She didn't want a repeat of what happened last Tuesday. It took her forever to cover the bruises he gave her.
"Yeah, okay, bye," Bobby said with a concerned look on his face.
Kim left. And Doc walked in the room. "Hey Bobby what's wrong?" Doc asked.
"I'm not sure yet. That's what I'm trying to figure out," Bobby said. He was worried with the way Kim looked when she said George didn't like it when she was late.
Kim knocked on George's door. The door slowly opened. "Kim hey. You scared me. At first I thought you were some one else," George said. He just got off the phone with his partner. It wasn't good news.
Kim walked in. "So are you ready to go?" Kim asked.
"Well I thought maybe we could just hang out here tonight. I don't really feel up to going out anywhere. That is okay with you right?" George asked with some edge in his voice.
"Yeah that's fine," Kim replied with fear in her voice. She didn't want George to hurt her again. George moved closer to her. He started kissing her neck.
"George stop. I don't want to do this," Kim said moving away slowly. She didn't really want to be with George, or sleep with him.
"Are you telling me to stop?" George asked in disbelief.
"Yes," Kim said now shaking. She knew he was going to hurt her again.
George moved closer to her. He started hitting her. Then everything went black.
Catherine, Joey, Bobby, Jimmy,and Alex were waiting at the hospital for some news on Kim. They all looked up to see the doctor right in front of them. "Mrs. Zambrano, I'm doctor Rodgers. I have some news on your daughter," Doctor Rodgers said.
"Is she okay?" Catherine asked.
"She has a broken rib cage and a lot of bruises all over. But other than that she's fine. Everyone let out a sigh of relief after hearing Kim was fine.
Bobby was in Kim's hospital room. He's been there for some hours. He saw Kim stir. "Bobby hey," Kim said with a soft smile.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" Bobby asked with concern.
"Better, except for a lot of pain. Thanks for staying with me Bobby. I really appreciate it.
"Kim who did this to you?" Bobby asked. He had a feeling it was George. He wasn't quite sure if she'd tell him, but it was worth a try.
"Um.. I don't know. It was dark. I couldn't see," Kim lied. She wanted to tell Bobby the truth, but George said if she told anyone he'd hurt her worse.
"The doctor said you can go home tomorrow. I know Joey's worried about you," Bobby said. He knew Kim didn't tell the truth about who did this to her, but he decided to drop it. He didn't want to pressure her.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see him. Is he staying with my mom or Jimmy?" Kim asked.
"With Your mom. Do you want me to stay with you for the night?" Bobby asked.
Kim was about to answer but then some one else did. "No that's okay Bobby. I'm sure Kim would rather have me here. Isn't that right Kim?" George asked giving her a warning glance.
"Um.. Bobby if you don't mind I'd like to spend time with George," Kim said.
Bobby looked at Kim. He saw the fear in her eyes. He nodded his head and slowly left. He ran into Alex outside. "Hey Bobby what's up?" Alex asked.'
"I don't like Kim's new boyfriend," Bobby said.
"Bobby, you never like any of Kim's boyfriends," Alex replied laughing. She knew Bobby had it bad for Kim.
"No Alex I'm serious. Kim seems scared of him. The guy seems dangerous," Bobby said with concern. He wasn't sure, but he was going to find out. He didn't want anyone to hurt Kim.
"Well what are you going to do about it?" Alex asked. She knew Bobby had good judgment of people. And usually if he felt some one was dangerous, they were.
"I'm going to find out who he is, what he does, and make sure he doesn't hurt Kim," Bobby said.
Alex looked at him she could tell he was serious. "Well I have to go. Ty just pulled up," Alex said.
Bobby said good-bye and decided to go home. He knew George wouldn't be stupid enough to hurt Kim in a hospital.
