Doctor Marjorie Hunter walked into the waiting room and saw Brenda's parents and brother that was in the room when she came in to Brenda's hospital room but does not know their names since she was not introduced to them. She walked up to the group. "I am Doctor Marjorie Hunter and I would like to talk to Brenda's family and friends."

"I am her father Jim Walsh and this is her mother Cindy, her brother Brandon and these are her friends." Jim told the doctor wondering what she had to say about Brenda. Would Brenda be okay? Could this doctor help her?

"I would like to be introduced to her friends." Marjorie said counting one extra female wondering if one of them was Kelly Taylor.

Brandon stepped forward to make the introductions. "This is Andrea Zuckerman, Steve Sanders, Donna Martin, David Silver, Dylan McKay and Kelly Taylor." He pointed to each one as he said their names.

"I was told by Brenda that I could talk to all of you except Kelly Taylor. I cannot say anything about Brenda's condition while she is here. I am sorry but I have to ask you to leave the room." She told Kelly.

"That is ridiculous. I can stay." Kelly said. She was seething inside but doesn't want to show how angry she is yet.

Dylan spoke up. "Kelly, just do what she said. This is about Brenda not you."

"Dylan, how can you say that to me? I have a right to be here too since you are." Kelly told him not willing to leave him alone. She knew she was losing him and was trying to cling to him; maybe he would leave with her. "If I have to leave then so do you, Dylan."

"You have be kidding me. I am not leaving Brenda, Kelly. Go home, Kelly, and I will talk to you later. Brenda does not want you to hear anything and I can't blame her after what we did to her. This is about Brenda not you. You weren't the one who was raped and beaten last night she was, and she doesn't want you to know anything. So just go home, Kelly." Dylan told Kelly angry at her selfishness expecting him to leave just because Brenda didn't want Kelly to know anything. He was surprised that Brenda was letting him stay to hear what the doctor had to say. He took this as a good sign though that she wanted him to hear what the doctor had to say.

"Dylan, I don't want to leave you here alone with Brenda. I want you to leave with me. I don't want Brenda to get her hooks into her again just because she let herself get beaten and raped." Kelly told Dylan growing angrier than she had ever been in her life. She was angry at Brenda for letting this happen.. Not taking into account that Brenda could not stop what had happened to her. She blamed Brenda for Dylan taking Brenda's side, if she hadn't gotten raped he wouldn't be about to break up with her as she saw it. She knew he was about to break up with her and that was why she didn't want to leave. Everyone was shocked at Kelly's selfish attitude and her words.

"You have got to be kidding me! Kelly, how could you say that! Brenda is in a hospital bed after getting raped and beaten and you are more concerned about yourself than her! She did not let herself get raped and beaten she had no choice in the matter. What did I ever see in you? You have no compassion or sympathy for Brenda and what she is going through right now. You are thinking only about yourself and what you want. I don't blame Brenda for not wanting you to know anything, after what happened between the three of us. I'm just surprised that she's letting me stay so I want you to just go home, Kelly, and forget about me because I don't want to be with a selfish bitch who only thinks about herself when one of her supposed best friends is in a hospital bed after being raped and beaten. You don't think about anyone but yourself. How can you not see what Brenda is going through right now and not want to help her?" Dylan demanded disappointed in Kelly and glad that he can see Kelly for what she really was like now.

Kelly stormed out of the hospital madder than she had ever been. She blamed Brenda for this. If she hadn't of gotten raped she would still have Dylan. This is all Brenda's fault she thought. She blamed Brenda for her breakup with Dylan. She would get even with Brenda and get Dylan back. She didn't realize how horrible she was being she just wanted her own way. She just wanted Dylan back and didn't care who was hurt in the process as long as she got what she wanted. How could he call her selfish, just because she didn't want Dylan to stay at the hospital but to leave with her? Dylan was hers not Brenda's, how could Dylan not see that. She thought that even with what Brenda was going through, that Dylan should put her first not Brenda, that he should want to be with her and not at the hospital with Brenda. She thought that if she had to leave so should Dylan but, Dylan had taken Brenda's side.

Back in the waiting room everyone was in shock at Kelly's behavior and what she said. They didn't know what to make of it. They knew that they needed to hear what this doctor was going to say about Brenda so they forgot about Kelly for now and they turned their attention back to the doctor knowing that later they would have to deal with Kelly and her selfish attitude and remarks.

Doctor Marjorie Hunter when she was sure she had everyone's attention began to talk and tell them about Brenda and what she was going to go through over the next days, weeks and months.

Brenda's family and friends paid close attention to what Doctor Hunter said, focusing their attention on her. Doctor Hunter told them about the possible panic attacks, mood swings, that Brenda could be happy one moment and depressed and despondent the next. She told them of how scared Brenda was of her rapist coming back and hurting her again.

As they listened to what the doctor had to say their hearts went out to Brenda and all she had gone through and all she was going to go through over time. They wanted to know how to help Brenda and Doctor Hunter told them what they needed to do and how to help Brenda through this time.

Brenda's healing was going to take time, that it would not happen overnight but that it was a long process for Brenda and that Brenda had a lot of work to do to get back to being who she was before she was beaten and raped, that Brenda may never be how she was before because of the horror that she had gone through.

Doctor Hunter told them that Brenda was going to see her two to three times a week until they decided differently and until Brenda could cope better with what had happened to her. Brenda needed to learn good coping skills for when she had a problem so she didn't panic when something happened and right now she might panic. Doctor Hunter told them of the support that they all needed to give to Brenda and what needed to be done to make Brenda feel safe.

The doctor told them that she was giving everyone her cell phone number, her pager and her office number in case of emergency and in case Brenda freaked out which could happen. They needed to keep her as calm as possible. Brenda was scared of being alone. Brenda thought that her rapist could come back and do it again if she was alone. The doctor told them that someone, for now needed to be around Brenda as much as possible. The doctor was satisfied that these people cared and loved Brenda and would help Brenda in any way they could.

After the doctor was finished talking she asked if anyone had any questions.

Jim spoke up "Will Brenda be like she was before the attack?"

Doctor Hunter explained. "Brenda went through the worst thing that could happen to a woman and luckily she lived to tell about it. Brenda will never be able to forget what happened the best we can hope for is for her to heal and move on from it. Brenda will not be the same as she was before the rape and beating. Brenda will heal emotionally and physically with time and then we will see what Brenda is like afterwards?"

The Walsh's and Brenda's friends shook their head no that for now they didn't have any other questions. Doctor Hunter handed out her business cards to everyone and left them to think. She went to Brenda's hospital room and told Brenda what had happened and then left because she had to get to her office, but promised to see Brenda soon.
