Chapter 26
Kay's surgery last 12 hours. Once Eve was out she came and talked to everyone.
"Dr. Russell, how did it go?" Miguel asked once he saw Eve walking toward them.
"We'll I'm optimistic. I think she can survive the night, but anything can happen."
Miguel sighed with little relief.
"So my baby girl is going to be alright?" Sam asked.
"I didn't say that. I said that she might make it through the night. If she does make it through the night then I think she'll be fine." Eve informed Sam.
"God will let her survive." Grace said. "He won't hurt our baby girl."
"Kay will make it." Miguel began, "And I'm gonna to be here when she wakes up." He vowed. "I'm not going to leave Kay here alone."
"Miguel, you need your rest and if anything happens, we'll be sure to let you know." Ivy told Miguel.
"I'm sorry I can't leave here knowing Kay may not make it during the night. I won't leave her side." He said.
"Miguel, please." Sam begged.
"I'm sorry, I won't leave."
"Mijo, please compromise."
"Mama, I'm going to marry Kay and I'm not about to leave her alone."
"But she won't be alone." Jessica said butting in.
"I want her to know that I'm sticking by her side no matter what. None of you can change my mind."
"Fine. We'll I'm going to go home. Call me once you know anything." Pilar told Grace.
"Of course. Thank you for being here."
"It's alright, Grace. Kay is like my own daughter."
Grace and Sam smiled at each other.
"Well, good night, Pilar." Said Sam.
"Night everyone."
"Wait Pilar!" Ethan called out. "I'm gonna head home myself. It's getting pretty late. Make sure to call me if there is any change."
"I will." Sam said.
"Good night, Ethan." Said Grace.
Ethan ran to catch up with Pilar.
"Do you need a ride home?"
"I would, thank you."
"No problem."
"I'm very sorry about Kay." She said once they got into the car.
"I know. I'm going to find out who did this to her." He vowed.
"Well, be careful."
"I will. I always am."
"Theresa and Fox seem happy don't they?"
Ethan became sad and said a little depressed, "Yeah, but they had a big fight the other night."
"Really? Theresita didn't tell me about that."
"Well, they were throwing things all over the room and Fox just left then because he couldn't stand the heat between them." Ethan informed Pilar.
"I must speak to Theresita about her temper."
Ethan just laughed. He remembered Theresa's temper and said, "Boy does she have a temper!"
"She takes after Martin. All of the children except Antonio took after Martin. I hope Antonio and Martin are watching over us. Hopefully over Kay."
"Yeah me too. Well, here we go. Do you need help getting upstairs? I noticed that your balance isn't good today."
"I'll be fine. Thank you though."
"Okay good night."
"Night, Ethan."
Back at the hospital.
Everyone except Miguel, Jessica, Sam, and Ivy left. Kay moved slightly and opened her eyes.
"Daddy? Miguel?" She asked being confused.
"Right here, Kay." Sam told her.
"Kay? She's up? Your up!" Miguel said running to her.
"Miguel, what happened?"
"You don't remember anything?" He asked.
"No. The last thing I remember is coming home from school."
Miguel and Sam gave each other worried looks.
"Kay, honey," Sam began to speak softly, "I don't want to have to tell you this, but I have to. Okay?"
She nodded her head.
"Well, you were kidnapped, stabbed, and raped." He informed her.
"No!" She screamed. "This can't be! I was suppose to wait until I married Miguel." Kay began to cry. "I'm so sorry, Miguel."
"Oh no, Kay. It's not your fault at all." He comforted her. "I promise you that I'm never going to leave you."
"I love you so much!"
"You have no idea how much I love you."
Eve walked in and saw Kay talking to everyone.
"Kay, your awake."
"Yes, why is something wrong?"
"No, it's just that you were in a coma."
"I was?" Kay asked as she scratched her head.
"Yes. Sam, Miguel, Ivy, Jessica could I speak to you all in private?"
"Sure." Sam said heading for the door.
"I'll be right back." Miguel said as he kissed Kay's hand.
They stood outside of Kay's room. Eve looked a little worried.
"Has something happened?" Ivy asked.
"Not yet at least."
"What do you mean, Dr. Russell?" Jessica asked.
"Well, when Kay was rapped that meant that she could have a few problems in the future."
"What do you mean?" Sam asked becoming impatient.
"You see since we don't know who raped her we don't know if he used a condom. I doubt he did."
"So you're saying that Kay could become pregnant." Miguel put two and two together.
"That or she may contract AIDS or some other disease."
"I don't believe this!" Sam shouted in an angered tone.
"Calm down, Sam. We won't know for sure until a month."
"So we're just suppose to sit back and relax?"
"No, please try to understand."
"I'm sorry, Eve. It's just so hard to comprehend."
"I know. It's a lot to deal with."
"We have to tell Kay." Miguel told them.
"She'll be devastated." Ivy said.
"I know, but she has a right to know."
Back at the mansion in Ethan's room.
"Ring, ring!"
Ethan ran to the phone thinking it was Sam or someone from the hospital.
"Hello? Dad?"
"Ethan, it's me." Theresa whispered.
"Theresa, why are you whispering?"
"Because I don't want to wake Fox."
"Oh okay. What can I do for you?"
"I need to talk to someone."
"About what?"
"I can't say it over the phone."
"Okay. Do you want to go downstairs?"
"No! We can't. Could we go for a drive?"
Ethan looked at his clock and said, "Uh yeah. Give me a minute to get dressed."
"Okay. I'll be downstairs in my car." She told him.
"Alright."
Ethan wondered what Theresa needed to speak about. After get dressed he ran downstairs and went to Theresa's car. Theresa was sitting in her car looking around for someone and Ethan knew that she wasn't looking for him. He noticed that Theresa had tones of make up on. She didn't look like herself. Ethan knew better than to ask her about it. He got in her and they drove to the beach before saying a word.
"Theresa, what's wrong?"
Theresa grew pale and said, "Let's take a walk."
"Okay."
They were walking quietly around the beach for a little bit before they said anything. Ethan could tell that Theresa was hiding something.
"Theresa, please tell me what you're hiding!" Ethan said suddenly.
She was quiet at first then she said, "What are you talking about? I'm not hiding anything." She tried to cover up.
"Theresa, I know you better than that. Something is wrong. Please tell me."
She looked into his eyes and debated whether or not to tell him about Fox.
Theresa thought, "If I tell him he can help me, but then again he'll hurt Fox and then Fox will hurt me. Why am I even here? Fox is gonna find out that I've gone out with Ethan. He'll kill me. I should just go home....but what am I going to tell Ethan. I told him I have to talk to someone."
"Theresa, I'm waiting."
"Well, I just asked for you to come with me because I need your advice, not because I'm hiding something." She lied through her teeth.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I just thought that you were hiding something."
"Well, I'm not. Listen I'm thinking about letting Fox adopt Little Ethan. What do you think?"
Ethan thought, "God, how could she even consider doing that!"
"I think it's a good idea." He lied himself.
"That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I thought I should ask you because you're his Godfather."
"Oh," He said.
"Well, let's get back. I don't want Fox to worry." She told him, but thought, "I really don't want him to hurt me again."
Ethan went to pat her on her back when he noticed that she moved like she was uncomfortable. he thought that he made her uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry." He apologized. "I know that your married to Fox and that I probably make you uncomfortable when I touch you."
"It's not that." She said.
"Then what?"
"Nothing, nothing. Don't worry."
Ethan then knew that she was definitely hiding something now. He had to find out before his time was up.
"Um..why can't you tell me?"
"Because!" She shouted.
They got into the car and rode home not speaking. Before they got out of the car Theresa spoke.
"Listen, Ethan, I'm sorry for snapping at you, I'm just very stressed out right now."
"Oh no I should be the one whose sorry. I have no business to be interfering with your life."
"It's okay. Well, good night."
"Night."
Theresa crept into her room softly without waking up Fox. She thought that she was safe when she slipped into her bed, but Fox surprised her.
"Where were you?" He seemed angry.
"I went to get a snack." She said.
Chapter 25
Dr. Eve came out and by the expression on her face it didn't look good.
"Eve, tell me how is Kay?" Sam asked. He was a nervous wreck.
"I don't want to lie to you, but we'll see if she makes it through the night. She was rapped and the stab wound punctured two of her organs. She's in a coma right now from due to a blow to her head. We want to take her up to surgery, but first you and Grace need to sign some papers." Eve told them truthfully.
"Grace? Does she have to? I'm here already and God only knows when she'll get here."
"I understand what you mean, but Grace has to sign the papers also. Do you want me to call her for you?" Eve offered.
"Uh...yeah, could you? She would listen to you better."
"Sure. I'll be right back."
"Can I see Kay?" Miguel asked. He was in tears and his eyes were so red from all the crying he did.
"Sure. Come with me. After Miguel we can send a few of you in at a time."
"Thank you, Eve." Sam said.
"It's no problem."
Miguel followed Eve to Kay's room. Kay laid in that bed lifeless. She was so pale and she was hooked up to so many machines.
He sat by her bedside and said, "Kay, please don't leave me. I love you more than words can explain. You know.." he whipped away his tears, "I always knew that you'd be the one I would marry. Your perfect in my eyes. I'll never leave you. I hope you can hear me. Please, God, don't take her away. Take me just not her!" He screamed out in pain.
Sam, Jessica, and Ivy walked in just then. Jessica saw how much pain he was in so she asked him to come with her and get something to drink while Sam and Ivy have time alone with Kay.
As they were walking Miguel said, "I'll die without Kay."
She hugged Miguel and said, "Don't talk like that. God has given Kay a plan in life and if she passes away, then God has something stored for her in heaven."
"I hope you're right."
Back in Kay's room. Ivy and Sam are holding Kay's hands and praying to God to spare her life.
"I don't know what I'll do if I lose Kay." Sam told Ivy.
"I know. I haven't always known Kay that well, but I'm afraid to lose her so soon. I know that we can be the best of friends."
"I know you two could have been the greatest of friends."
"Yeah, I just hope it isn't too late." Ivy and Sam held each other tight.
Simone asked to go in next by herself. She burst into tears once she saw Kay hooked up to all those machines.
"Oh God, Kay! Why you? What did you do so bad? Please don't take away my best friend!" Simone just sat there the rest of the time telling Kay about all of their adventures.
"We've been through a lot, but we've never stopped being friends. I love so much Kay." Simone said goodbye and left the room. It hurt too much being in their.
Theresa, Fox, Chad, Ethan, and Whitney went in together next. They couldn't really say anything. Their was so much pain everywhere. In everyone's life.
"Kay, you're like my sister. I want to make it official when you marry Miguel. Please, I know you can survive. You've always been a fighter." Theresa cried.
"Related by blood or not, Kay, you're my sister. May God watch over you no matter what happens." Whitney said next.
"Kay, I don't know you well enough, but I hope you can pull through this." Fox said.
"Kay, girl, come on and pull through. We have a lot to talk about yet. I still have to be your dj." Chad joked.
Everyone gave a weak little smile.
"Kay, you're my sister and I regret not risking my life when you were kidnapped. Maybe you would've been at home with our family. I hope you'll survive this so we can become closer like a brother and sister should be." Ethan struggled to say the right words.
Meanwhile Eve was on the phone with Grace.
"Listen, Grace, Kay really needs you. I know that your not the type to abandon your own flesh and blood. Please come down here sign the papers and be here for your family and your daughters."
"Kay doesn't love me!" Grace protested.
"She does. More than you know. Simone has told me that she wishes that you both we close. Just like when Kay was younger."
"Really?" Grace asked trying to hide her tears.
"Yes."
"I'll be right down."
Eve walked out into the waiting room and told them all what Grace said.
"Grace is coming over to sign the papers."
"Yes! Thank you, Lord!" Said Sam.
Grace arrived at the hospital in less than 15 minutes.
"I'm here." She told Eve. "Let's sign these and get my daughter healthy again."
"Thank you for coming." Sam told her.
"It's no problem. I love Kay."
"I know you do."
Once they signed the papers, Grace wanted to see her daughter before she went into surgery. No one knew for sure if Kay would survive the surgery.
"My little girl!" Grace cried when she fist saw her daughter.
She wasn't the same little girl full of life. She was helpless; almost dead.
"Kay, I know I haven't been around lately, but I want you to know that I'll always love you. I'll see you when you get out." She finished before they wheeled her up to surgery.
"Wait!" Miguel screamed. "Kay, I'll always be here for you. Even if you stay in a coma forever. I'll always love you." He kissed her and then she was gone.
Theresa yawned and Fox saw her.
"Are you tired, dear?"
"Very."
"Well, do you want to go home?"
"I think so. Mama, please call me once Kay comes out of surgery."
"I will, Mija. Good night."
"Night Mama. Night everyone."
When they were in their room, Fox started to get annoyed by Theresa.
"Fox, do you think we could go on vacation? Just the two of us." She smiled as she put her arms around him.
He moved her arms off of him and, "Smack!"
He hit her.
"Fox, why are you doing this?"
"None of your business. Now you should go to sleep before you get more."
"I can't, I have to get things ready for tomorrow. I have an important meeting."
"Smack!"
"Ahh!" She screamed in pain.
"I'll take over the meeting tomorrow. Your going to stay home tomorrow."
"Why?" She asked.
"Do you not ever listen to me?"
"Smack!"
"Stop!" She screamed.
"Smack!" again.
"Don't ever question me. Remember?"
When she didn't answer him he hit her again. He face was just starting to heal again. He had to go and start this violent behavior.
"I'm sorry." She apologized.
"Damn right you are! Now go to bed!" He told her.
"Yes, Fox."
Theresa couldn't go to sleep, she was worried that Fox may hit her again. Fox slept like a baby.
Meanwhile at the hospital.
"I wonder who did this?" Ethan asked.
"I don't know, but they are going to pay." Sam assured his son.
At the Book Cafe.
"It worked!" A very happy woman said on the phone to a man. "No more Kay!"
"It was hard trying to rape her. I never did that before. She was a hard one to hold down. she kept hitting me up."
"Well you won't have to do that anymore. She's probably dead by now in that ally." The girl laughed.
"You're right. I just hope that they don't find my shirt with her blood on it."
"I've taken care of it already, so don't worry."
"Okay, then I'll be in touch for my money."
"Bye."
"No you didn't. I went downstairs and you were no where to be found."
"Well, that's because after I got a snack I went to check on my mother."
"Oh really?"
"Really."
"Theresa, cut the crap! You can't lie to the best liar."
"I'm not lying, Fox. Why can't you ever believe me?" She raised her voice.
"God, Theresa! Why do you have to be such a bitch?"
"Excuse me!"
He said slowly, "W h y...d o...y o u...h a v e...t o...b e...s u c h...a...b i t c h?"
"I know what you said! Why are you being such an @#%$?"
"Oh don't even start with me!" He warned her.
"And what if I want to?" She asked.
"You'll end up dead." He laughed.
Theresa gasped and said, "You wouldn't dare!"
"Oh wouldn't I?"
Theresa was convinced that fox would kill her.
"You're nuts! If you ever try to hurt me again I'll.." Fox cut her off.
"You'll what? Nothing! You know why? Because you'll be dead. Did you hear that? D E A D. Dead!"
Theresa ran to her door and tried to run out, but Fox caught her and puller her to the bed by her hair.
"Stop!" She screamed.
"Shh," he said as he covered her mouth with his hand. "Don't make me pull out the tape. What will people think of you when you tell them that your own husband is crazy? You know what I'll just have to tell them that your crazy. I have so much that I can tell everyone to destroy you. Hell I'll even make it so your own son will hate you when he's older."
He moved his hand and she cried, "No! You can't! Leave my son out of this!"
"Okay, now I must get the tape out."
"No! I promise I'll be quiet." She cried out louder.
"Gee let me think....um...no! You blew it!" He laughed some more.
He took out the tape and covered her mouth again.
"Now we are going to make love, if you have a problem then let me know."
"No!" She tried to scream through the tape.
"What's that?" He teased.
"No!" She tried again.
"Oh you want me to use the handcuffs? Okay."
He handcuffed he to the bed and then forced her to have sex. She didn't do anything, but cry the whole night.
Theresa thought, "Why is he doing this? I love him so much, but why? I can't ever leave him. If I did, God only knows what he'd do to me."
Back at the hospital. They all walked back into Kay's room. Kay knew something was wrong because they all looked worried.
"What now?" She asked them all.
"I'll tell her." Miguel said.
"Tell me what, dear?"
"I hate to tell you this, but when you got rapped, we don't know if this guy has AIDS or some other disease, so you might contract a disease. And we don't know if he used a condom." He told he through his own tears.
Kay's surgery last 12 hours. Once Eve was out she came and talked to everyone.
"Dr. Russell, how did it go?" Miguel asked once he saw Eve walking toward them.
"We'll I'm optimistic. I think she can survive the night, but anything can happen."
Miguel sighed with little relief.
"So my baby girl is going to be alright?" Sam asked.
"I didn't say that. I said that she might make it through the night. If she does make it through the night then I think she'll be fine." Eve informed Sam.
"God will let her survive." Grace said. "He won't hurt our baby girl."
"Kay will make it." Miguel began, "And I'm gonna to be here when she wakes up." He vowed. "I'm not going to leave Kay here alone."
"Miguel, you need your rest and if anything happens, we'll be sure to let you know." Ivy told Miguel.
"I'm sorry I can't leave here knowing Kay may not make it during the night. I won't leave her side." He said.
"Miguel, please." Sam begged.
"I'm sorry, I won't leave."
"Mijo, please compromise."
"Mama, I'm going to marry Kay and I'm not about to leave her alone."
"But she won't be alone." Jessica said butting in.
"I want her to know that I'm sticking by her side no matter what. None of you can change my mind."
"Fine. We'll I'm going to go home. Call me once you know anything." Pilar told Grace.
"Of course. Thank you for being here."
"It's alright, Grace. Kay is like my own daughter."
Grace and Sam smiled at each other.
"Well, good night, Pilar." Said Sam.
"Night everyone."
"Wait Pilar!" Ethan called out. "I'm gonna head home myself. It's getting pretty late. Make sure to call me if there is any change."
"I will." Sam said.
"Good night, Ethan." Said Grace.
Ethan ran to catch up with Pilar.
"Do you need a ride home?"
"I would, thank you."
"No problem."
"I'm very sorry about Kay." She said once they got into the car.
"I know. I'm going to find out who did this to her." He vowed.
"Well, be careful."
"I will. I always am."
"Theresa and Fox seem happy don't they?"
Ethan became sad and said a little depressed, "Yeah, but they had a big fight the other night."
"Really? Theresita didn't tell me about that."

"I must speak to Theresita about her temper."
Ethan just laughed. He remembered Theresa's temper and said, "Boy does she have a temper!"
"She takes after Martin. All of the children except Antonio took after Martin. I hope Antonio and Martin are watching over us. Hopefully over Kay."
"Yeah me too. Well, here we go. Do you need help getting upstairs? I noticed that your balance isn't good today."
"I'll be fine. Thank you though."
"Okay good night."
"Night, Ethan."
Back at the hospital.
Everyone except Miguel, Jessica, Sam, and Ivy left. Kay moved slightly and opened her eyes.
"Daddy? Miguel?" She asked being confused.
"Right here, Kay." Sam told her.
"Kay? She's up? Your up!" Miguel said running to her.
"Miguel, what happened?"
"You don't remember anything?" He asked.
"No. The last thing I remember is coming home from school."

"Oh no, Kay. It's not your fault at all." He comforted her. "I promise you that I'm never going to leave you."

"No, please try to understand."
"I'm sorry, Eve. It's just so hard to comprehend."
"I know. It's a lot to deal with."
"We have to tell Kay." Miguel told them.
"She'll be devastated." Ivy said.
"I know, but she has a right to know."
Back at the mansion in Ethan's room.
"Ring, ring!"
Ethan ran to the phone thinking it was Sam or someone from the hospital.
"Hello? Dad?"
"Ethan, it's me." Theresa whispered.
"Theresa, why are you whispering?"
"Because I don't want to wake Fox."
"Oh okay. What can I do for you?"
"I need to talk to someone."
"About what?"
"I can't say it over the phone."
"Okay. Do you want to go downstairs?"
"No! We can't. Could we go for a drive?"
Ethan looked at his clock and said, "Uh yeah. Give me a minute to get dressed."

Sam, Jessica, and Ivy walked in just then. Jessica saw how much pain he was in so she asked him to come with her and get something to drink while Sam and Ivy have time alone with Kay.
As they were walking Miguel said, "I'll die without Kay."
She hugged Miguel and said, "Don't talk like that. God has given Kay a plan in life and if she passes away, then God has something stored for her in heaven."
"I hope you're right."
Back in Kay's room. Ivy and Sam are holding Kay's hands and praying to God to spare her life.
"I don't know what I'll do if I lose Kay." Sam told Ivy.
"I know. I haven't always known Kay that well, but I'm afraid to lose her so soon. I know that we can be the best of friends."
"I know you two could have been the greatest of friends."
"Yeah, I just hope it isn't too late." Ivy and Sam held each other tight.
Simone asked to go in next by herself. She burst into tears once she saw Kay hooked up to all those machines.
"Oh God, Kay! Why you? What did you do so bad? Please don't take away my best friend!" Simone just sat there the rest of the time telling Kay about all of their adventures.
"We've been through a lot, but we've never stopped being friends. I love so much Kay." Simone said goodbye and left the room. It hurt too much being in their.
Theresa, Fox, Chad, Ethan, and Whitney went in together next. They couldn't really say anything. Their was so much pain everywhere. In everyone's life.
"Kay, you're like my sister. I want to make it official when you marry Miguel. Please, I know you can survive. You've always been a fighter." Theresa cried.
"Related by blood or not, Kay, you're my sister. May God watch over you no matter what happens." Whitney said next.
"Kay, I don't know you well enough, but I hope you can pull through this." Fox said.
"Kay, girl, come on and pull through. We have a lot to talk about yet. I still have to be your dj." Chad joked.
Everyone gave a weak little smile.
"Kay, you're my sister and I regret not risking my life when you were kidnapped. Maybe you would've been at home with our family. I hope you'll survive this so we can become closer like a brother and sister should be." Ethan struggled to say the right words.
Meanwhile Eve was on the phone with Grace.
"Listen, Grace, Kay really needs you. I know that your not the type to abandon your own flesh and blood. Please come down here sign the papers and be here for your family and your daughters."
"Kay doesn't love me!" Grace protested.
"She does. More than you know. Simone has told me that she wishes that you both we close. Just like when Kay was younger."
"Really?" Grace asked trying to hide her tears.
"Yes."
"I'll be right down."
Eve walked out into the waiting room and told them all what Grace said.
"Grace is coming over to sign the papers."
"Yes! Thank you, Lord!" Said Sam.
Grace arrived at the hospital in less than 15 minutes.
"I'm here." She told Eve. "Let's sign these and get my daughter healthy again."
"Thank you for coming." Sam told her.
"It's no problem. I love Kay."
"I know you do."
Once they signed the papers, Grace wanted to see her daughter before she went into surgery. No one knew for sure if Kay would survive the surgery.
"My little girl!" Grace cried when she fist saw her daughter.
She wasn't the same little girl full of life. She was helpless; almost dead.
"Kay, I know I haven't been around lately, but I want you to know that I'll always love you. I'll see you when you get out." She finished before they wheeled her up to surgery.
"Wait!" Miguel screamed. "Kay, I'll always be here for you. Even if you stay in a coma forever. I'll always love you." He kissed her and then she was gone.
Theresa yawned and Fox saw her.
"Are you tired, dear?"
"Very."
"Well, do you want to go home?"
"I think so. Mama, please call me once Kay comes out of surgery."
"I will, Mija. Good night."
"Night Mama. Night everyone."
When they were in their room, Fox started to get annoyed by Theresa.
"Fox, do you think we could go on vacation? Just the two of us." She smiled as she put her arms around him.
He moved her arms off of him and, "Smack!"
He hit her.
"Fox, why are you doing this?"
"None of your business. Now you should go to sleep before you get more."
"I can't, I have to get things ready for tomorrow. I have an important meeting."
"Smack!"
"Ahh!" She screamed in pain.
"I'll take over the meeting tomorrow. Your going to stay home tomorrow."
"Why?" She asked.
"Do you not ever listen to me?"
"Smack!"
"Stop!" She screamed.
"Smack!" again.
"Don't ever question me. Remember?"
When she didn't answer him he hit her again. He face was just starting to heal again. He had to go and start this violent behavior.
"I'm sorry." She apologized.
"Damn right you are! Now go to bed!" He told her.
"Yes, Fox."
Theresa couldn't go to sleep, she was worried that Fox may hit her again. Fox slept like a baby.
Meanwhile at the hospital.
"I wonder who did this?" Ethan asked.
"I don't know, but they are going to pay." Sam assured his son.
At the Book Cafe.
"It worked!" A very happy woman said on the phone to a man. "No more Kay!"
"It was hard trying to rape her. I never did that before. She was a hard one to hold down. she kept hitting me up."
"Well you won't have to do that anymore. She's probably dead by now in that ally." The girl laughed.
"You're right. I just hope that they don't find my shirt with her blood on it."
"I've taken care of it already, so don't worry."
"Okay, then I'll be in touch for my money."
"Bye."
"No you didn't. I went downstairs and you were no where to be found."
"Well, that's because after I got a snack I went to check on my mother."
"Oh really?"
"Really."
"Theresa, cut the crap! You can't lie to the best liar."
"I'm not lying, Fox. Why can't you ever believe me?" She raised her voice.
"God, Theresa! Why do you have to be such a bitch?"
"Excuse me!"
He said slowly, "W h y...d o...y o u...h a v e...t o...b e...s u c h...a...b i t c h?"
"I know what you said! Why are you being such an @#%$?"
"Oh don't even start with me!" He warned her.
"And what if I want to?" She asked.
"You'll end up dead." He laughed.
Theresa gasped and said, "You wouldn't dare!"
"Oh wouldn't I?"
Theresa was convinced that fox would kill her.
"You're nuts! If you ever try to hurt me again I'll.." Fox cut her off.
"You'll what? Nothing! You know why? Because you'll be dead. Did you hear that? D E A D. Dead!"
Theresa ran to her door and tried to run out, but Fox caught her and puller her to the bed by her hair.
"Stop!" She screamed.
"Shh," he said as he covered her mouth with his hand. "Don't make me pull out the tape. What will people think of you when you tell them that your own husband is crazy? You know what I'll just have to tell them that your crazy. I have so much that I can tell everyone to destroy you. Hell I'll even make it so your own son will hate you when he's older."
He moved his hand and she cried, "No! You can't! Leave my son out of this!"
"Okay, now I must get the tape out."
"No! I promise I'll be quiet." She cried out louder.
"Gee let me think....um...no! You blew it!" He laughed some more.
He took out the tape and covered her mouth again.
"Now we are going to make love, if you have a problem then let me know."
"No!" She tried to scream through the tape.
"What's that?" He teased.
"No!" She tried again.
"Oh you want me to use the handcuffs? Okay."
He handcuffed he to the bed and then forced her to have sex. She didn't do anything, but cry the whole night.
Theresa thought, "Why is he doing this? I love him so much, but why? I can't ever leave him. If I did, God only knows what he'd do to me."
Back at the hospital. They all walked back into Kay's room. Kay knew something was wrong because they all looked worried.
"What now?" She asked them all.
"I'll tell her." Miguel said.
"Tell me what, dear?"
"I hate to tell you this, but when you got rapped, we don't know if this guy has AIDS or some other disease, so you might contract a disease. And we don't know if he used a condom." He told he through his own tears.
