The next day the authorities were all over Bridgette's house, which was off-limits for investigation.
Bridgette was wrapped in a towel and was being comforted by Geoff.
'Bridge, why did this happen?' he thought looking up in deep concern. *Flashback*
"Why isnt she answering?" Geoff looked at his cellphone worriedly. After several voice message and unsuccessful calls, he decided to visit Bridgettes house.
*knocks several times* "Bridgette are you here?" To his surprise, the door was open and he walked in, calling out her name.
"Bridge, babe are you here?" He noticed stairs which hes never seen before and slowly walks up.
"Hey Bridge are you-" he stopped when he saw her naked body across the room.
"Oh my god, Bridge what happened?" Geoff cried, checking to see if shes okay. She slowly opens her eyes and sees Geoff. "Bridge, whats going on?" he asked. She sat up and it wasnt long before tears started pouring from her eyes again. Geoff had then called 9-1-1 and the police and ambulance had arrived an hour later.
Bridgette and Geoff were watching in sorrow as they saw Bridgettes mother being put in a black bag and into a van for an autopsy.
"What am I gonna do?" Bridgette said mournfully. "My mom was all that I had after my dad died. And now shes gone too..."
"Shh, its ok Bridge. Im sure my parents can work something out. You can stay with me." Geoff said softly, patting her back.
A tall, brown haired policeman started walking toward them. "So ma'am, did you say you were raped?" he asked. Bridgette nodded slowly.
"OK, do you remember who raped you?" He took out a notepad. Bridgette bit her lip, which was still a lil sore, and looked down nervously.
Should I tell everyone he did it? she thought, worried that he might come after her again if she did tell.
"Look here Officer..." Geoff started. "Riddick." the policeman replied. "Officer Riddick, cant you see shes going through a bad time right now?"
"I completely understand." Riddick replied, "But we're doing everything we can to help. If Bridgette can tell us who did all this, then all your problems will be solved."
Bridgette shook her head. "Everyone just leave."
After all the cars left, Riddick went up to the couple. "Remember, if you can remember who did this to you, let us know ok?"
The two nodded, and he left. Once they reached Geoffs house, his parents quickly rushed to Bridgette and gave her clothes to wear after having seen everything across the street. They then let her stay in the house out of pity and said she could stay as long as she wanted. The two then went up to Geoff's room.
"Hey its ok now. You can talk about it when you wanna talk about it." Geoff said stroking her arm.
Bridgette looked down in sorrow, it seemed that not even Geoff could comfort her.
"Hey listen Im gonna go call the doctor so he can check up on you to see if you're...expecting something or not."
Bridgette snapped up. "Oh my gosh! I almost forgot about that! I hope not, I've got enough problems already!" she cried out.
"Bridge relax! We wont know til you get checked out alright!" Geoff said gripping her shoulders.
He sighed and looked at her eyes. "Look, I know its hard after what happened to you but whatever happens, Im here alright?"
"But Geoff..."
He pulled her into a hug. "Im your boyfriend, and Im not gonna let anything happen to you."
She looked at his calm and soothing face and she smiled at him. "Alright fine, but only if you get me a smoothie."
The two laugh and then share a kiss.
