Chapter Three- Examinations and Accusations
(Callie's POV)
Addison and Charlotte came back into my room after a few minutes. I knew that Addie had to examine me, but I was scared. Addie and I had been best friends for a long time now, but I never imagined that she would have to do a rape kit on me. Fresh tears threatened to prick my eyes, but I managed to hold them back. Charlotte came and sat in the chair beside me. She grabbed my hand and I felt a bit of comfort. Addie stood at the foot of my bed.
"Callie, I've got to give you a pelvic. We're also going to get you the morning after pill and start you on some antivirals just in case. Are you ready, Cal?" She asked with a very solemn look on her face.
"As ready as I'll ever be. Charlotte will you please hold my hand?"
"Sure thing. Arizona went to go get you some clothes. She'll be back soon." As she said this, Addie started the exam. I tried not to focus on what was going on. I tried to think about Arizona, because she always made me happy. All I could think about was how scared she was in the ER. I never wanted her to see me in that posistion. I never wanted anyone to see me like that. The thought of my fellow surgeons and friends seeing me like that made me want to vomit. It is so embarassing to think that they all saw me at my lowest. I hadn't realized that I started crying again until I heard Charlotte's voice.
"Callie, I know how hard this is. Trust me, I know. It is not your fault. You have to know that. It is NOT your fault."
"How can I ever face anyone in this hospital again? By tomorrow morning everyone will I know. By the way gossip flows in this hospital, I wouldn't be surprised if people are calling and texting everyone with the news that Dr. Callie Torres, badass orthopedic surgeon was raped in the freaking parking lot!" Sobs came from out of now where and I felt Charlotte's arms around me. I cried on her shoulder for the rest of the exam. When the tears stopped, she looked me in the eye.
"You have nothing to be ashamed of. The bastard that did this to you is who should be ashamed. Not you. "
"Okay, Callie, the exam is finished. The police are going to want to question you now and then the attendings will be here to explain our plan of action for your treatment." Addison said trying her best to be upbeat. I knew it was hard for her to have to do this.
"Thank you Addie. I know that wasn't easy for you." As I spoke she came over to my bed.
"I am here for whatever you need, okay? I will be here evey step of the way." She hugged me and left my room.
"I was leaving my office. Never saw him coming. After he was done, I ended up in the ER supply closet. Pete found me and took me to a room. At first, I didn't tell anyone. I just said he robbed me. I eventually told Cooper and then the man who raped me ended up at my hospital. is girlfriend almost killed him afer he attacked her." I never expected Charlotte to tell me what happened to her. Honestly, I never thought that Charlotte would be the type to talk about her attack.
"I don't know what to say Charlotte."
"You don't have to say anything. I just want you to know that you are not -" Charlotte was interrupted by a knock at the door. Two male officers came in.
"Excuse me Dr. Torres, I'm Detective Matthew Frost and this is my partner Detective Andrew Baker. Are you feeling up to a few questions?" Detective Frost was a relatively tall man with brown hair. He had a sincere smile and brown eyes. His partner was shorter than him and seemed standoffish. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. His eyes weren't hypnotic like Arizona's. They were dull and lifeless.
"Sure. What questions officers?" I squeezed Charlotte's hand and she gave me a reassuring smile. Detective Frost got out a notepad and pen.
"Dr. Torres, where were you when the man attacked you?" Frost asked me.
"I was walking to my car after shift."
"What time was that?" He continued "Did you make it to your car?"
"I guess it was around ten. The pit was overrun and we all had done so many surgeries. And no, I didn't get to my car. He came up behind me, pulled my hair and put a knife to my neck. He pulled me over to a shaded part of the lot." He gave me a look that was mixed with pity and worry.
"Dr. Torres-"
"You can call me Callie."
"Okay then, Callie, I know this is hard to talk about and I am really sorry this happened to you but can you tell me what happened next?" I took a breath to settle myself. Charlotte gave my hand a reassuring squeeze.
"He pushed me down on the ground. He hit me over and over and then-" I had to pause. I looked to Charlotte and she nodded. "And then he raped me." It was almost a relief to say it outloud, but it made my attack become more real.
"Can you tell what he looked like?" Frost asked me.
"I didn't really get a good look at him, he came up behind me and it was dark." I said with an apologetic look. I heard his partner chuckle and Charlotte and Detective Frost gave him a death glare.
"Baker, go get some coffee now." Frost said sternky and then Baker left the room slowly and after the door closed, Frost looked at me.
"I'm sorry about him Callie. Is there anything you remember about him? His height or anything like that?"
"He was a lot taller than me. My head came up to a little lower than his chin. He was clean shaven and he smelled like scotch."
Detective Frost smiled at me. He seemed like a very nice man and maybe had we met under different circumstances, we would've been friends.
"Thank you Callie, I'll be in touch okay? I hope that you have a speedy recovery. Call me if you remember anything else or if you need anything." He handed me his card and left my room. As soon as he was gone Charlotte hugged me.
"You are very very brave. That took a lot of guts Callie!"
"Thank you." I heard another knock at the door. When it opened, I saw Miranda, Derek, Addison, Owen and Arizona enter. Arizona had been crying. Seeing her upset made my heart break. As soon as she was in the room, she ran to my side and hugged me.
"Calliope, I am here for you. I love you so much and I am going to help you through this." She wiped a tear from my eye and then grabbed the hand that Charlotte just let go of. I looked at my closest friends and just wanted to disappear.
"Callie-" Derek began "Your injuries are pretty bad. You have a broken nose, eye socket, clavicle and four broken ribs. You have a mild concussion which is why we're going to keep you overnight. The wound on your neck is pretty superficial and it diesn't need to be sutured." I nodded to ket everyone know that I understood.
"You guys have to let me go home. I need to get out of here. Everyone will know what happened and if people keep looking at me like you all are than I would rather just be at home. I'm a doctor I know all of the things to be aware of. Please, Chief let me go home." I begged him.
"Callie, you need to stay here overnight. I want you to take a week off and then you can come back to work, but you need to give yourself time to heal. If you need longer, than you can take as much time as you need. Your job will be here waiting for you."
"Chief, you can send her home. I will take care of her. She might feel safer at home. I am gonna need to take some time off. I want to take care of Calliope." Arizona said.
"Robbins, take as much time as you need. And I guess you can take her home. But you have to promise me that you will take care of her and if she shows any signs of getting worse that you will bring her right back here." The chief said in his stern Chief voice.
"I will always take care of Calliope. " She turned and looked at me. "Always."
