PLEASE BE KIND. IT'S MY FIRST FANFICTION... EVER :-)
Thayer is getting concerned.. he tried texting and calling Emma, but she wasn't answering. He went to Arroyo to see if Laurel or Mads had seen or talked to her and they haven't. He tried Ethan's and got more of the same; no Emma. The only other place he could think to search for her was at the Cabin. Quickly, he jumped into his car and sped off. Terrible thoughts were racing through his mind as drove; was Emma okay? Was she hurt? Did he do something to upset her? Nothing could prepare him for what he was about to discover.
As he parked his car outside of the cabin, he raced in to see if there was any trace of her. Frantically he searched room to room and had yet to find her. One more room to look and when he opened the door, he was totally unprepared for what was in front of him. Laying in a bawl was his sweet Emma... she didn't have any clothes on. Instantly, Thayer tried to sort out what happened as he raced over to her.
"Emma? Emma, baby, it's Thayer.. are you okay? What happened?"
Almost instictively, Emma recoiled from Thayer's embrace and began to panic. Suddenly, Thayer realized what exactly was happening. He noticed blood coming from between her legs and then it clicked; Emma was raped.
Emma looked up at him with those big beautiful brown eyes that were laced with fear.
"Thayer?" she was able to whimper.
"Yes, it's me Emma, I'm here, I'm here. No one is going to hurt you again. I promise."
"Oh Thayer, it was horrible.."
"I know, I know.. I'm here now. Can you move? Do I need to carry you?"
Emma tried to stand up, but the pain encased her as she began to double over.
".. Ahhhh... Thayer, it hurts really bad." said Emma with tears in her eyes.
"What hurts, Emma? Where are you hurt?"
The look on Emma's face answered his question... "Well duh, you idiot" Thayer thought to himself. "She was just raped, and she was a virgin, of course that's where she's hurt."
"Emma, I need to get you to a hospital. You need medical attention."
"Noooo! Thayer, no! I can't! If they find out I'm not Sutton, they are going to throw me in jail for attacking Travis and supposedly stealing from Sherice! I can't, I just want to go home and shower and forget this ever happened.. please Thayer.."
Thayer's heart broke for her, but he knew better. She was bleeding and in pain; she needed a doctor.
"Emma, okay, I understand you don't want to go to a hospital, and maybe you don't have to.. but I'm going to need you to trust me on this, okay? You only have 2 options; one being I take you to the emergency room, and the other option you may not like, but it's the better alternative.. Emma, we need to tell Ted and Kristen about you.. Ted is a doctor, he can help you. Please, I can't stand to see you in pain. You have to see a doctor.. It's time they know."
Emma cringed at the thought, but deep down, she knew he was right. She has felt guilty for so long lying to them.. but telling them under these circumstances? But on the other hand, the pain she was feeling was a good motivator.
"Okay" Emma said, "But please, let me tell them."
"Alright, let's get you home. Can I carry you?" Thayer asked as he grabbed a blanket to cover her up.
"Please, but be gentle."
Thayer scooped Emma up in his arms carefully and sat her down in the car. Before long they were pulling into the Mercer's driveway.
