Chapter 23

I'm REALLY REALLY sorry that it took me so long to write this chapter. But I've been working on another SeanEm story. It's about Sean and Emma NEVER breaking up in Gangsta Gangsta. Emma invites Sean to her bedroom at midnight instead of just breaking their date because of Snake. They soon discover that they love their little rendezvous and continue them. But sooner or later their hormones will catch up with them. What will happen when two teens fall in love so soon? We all know how Romeo and Juliet ended up. Let's just hope that Emma and Sean's fate is much different. Ok well here's the next chapter.

Scene-Sean, Craig, Ellie, and Paige just ran Emma into the hospital. The doctors put her in a hospital bed and said they couldn't examine her until morning because the drug knocked her out too much. They would have to wait a few hours for her to wake up. Spike and Snake showed up a few minutes later followed by Spinner, Jimmy, Ashley, Alex, and Jay. Spinner couldn't figure out why Jimmy and Ash wouldn't talk to each other in the car. And he just figured that Alex and Jay weren't yelling because hearing about Emma seemed to sober them all up. Marco and Dylan were left at Paige's house to make sure no one stole or broke anything. There were still tons of passed out people there after all. Spinner couldn't find Hazel when he went looking for people and he didn't want to waste time searching. When Sean carried Emma into the hospital she wouldn't let go of his neck even though she was unconscious. So Sean laid in the hospital bed next to her. The doctors told him she would cry out from time to time but she was not going to actually wake for a few more hours. Sean's heart was weighed down with guilt. He felt as if it was his fault because he left her alone at a party. Sean really wanted to kill Derrick. He didn't know how far Derrick got, but he still wanted to kill him for hurting the love of his life.

After a few hours everyone fell asleep in the waiting room. Sean fell asleep still holding Emma, but he woke up when Emma cried out in a panic. She started thrashing her arms and legs around kicking and screaming no. Sean tried to stop her arms.

"Em, it's ok. You're ok. It's just me! Sean! Me! Your boyfriend!" Sean said as panicked as Emma was. The doctors heard her scream and came rushing into the room. Sean helped them hold her down so they could give her a shot that would calm her down. Although it didn't put her to sleep. When Emma finally calmed down she noticed that she was not in one of Paige's bedrooms. That Derrick was not on top of her, ripping at her clothes, and slapping her, and trying to tie her hands to the bedposts. She realized that she was in a hospital room and that Sean was sitting next to her. She knew she was now safe. She started remembering everything that happened the night before.

"Oh God…." Were the first words that she spoke.

She collapsed into Sean's arms and starting crying. She let out all of her emotion on her tears. She was sobbing so hard that she could barely breathe. After hearing all of Emma's screaming, everyone from the waiting room was now woken up. They all tried to run in at once but the doctor stopped them.

"Let us in! I heard her! I heard my daughter scream!" Spike yelled trying to do anything to get into that room to check on her daughter.

"Ms. Nelson Emma has just woken up. Her mind is just starting to register what happened and where she is. She's fine now. We gave her a drug to keep her calm, but it won't affect her memory so she can tell us what happened. She's broken down into sobs. Her boyfriend is comforting her. We've called the police station and they're going to send over an officer to write down the evidence so we can try to catch this kid."

"But what if she wasn't actually raped? Then what will happen to him?" Ellie accidentally wondered out loud.

"He can still be sent away to a juvenile center for attempted rape and he'll get time for possession of an illegal date rape drug. Trust me; this kid will get what he deserves."

"He better!" Alex mumbled.

"Well you can all see her when her examination is done."

"Examination?" Craig asked.

"Yes, she'll have to be examined for rape. Even if you think he didn't rape her, we still have to do it because there's a chance he threatened her and she's scared. Now when you all see Emma she's going to look very…bad. He definitely roughed her up. She's got a nasty bruise over one eye, her nose is swollen and red, her hands have scratches all over them—probably from trying to escape, her stomach has some scrapes, and her ribs are very tender." The doctor warned.

"But the guy…the guy we saw…he wasn't very strong. How could he have done so much damage?" Jay questioned.

"Well he gave Emma a very high dosage of a date rape drug. A four year old could have done as much damage. Emma was incapable of protecting herself. Besides…the smaller quiet ones…are the ones we sometimes have to look out for. Well I'll let you know when Emma is done with her examination."

Spike and Snake mumbled a thank you although they were mad that they couldn't see their daughter. The doctor turned around and went back into Emma's room.

Scene-Emma's Hospital Room. The officer sent from the police station finally arrived so the examination could start.

"Ok, Emma it's time to start. Sean, I think you better go back to the waiting room while this happens." The doctor instructed.

Sean started to get up but Emma wouldn't let go of him. She was still a little panicked from what happened.

"Sean where are you going? Sean you can't leave! You can't leave me!"

"Em, it's ok. I'm just going into the waiting room so you can get examined now." Sean said in a soft soothing voice.

"Emma, it's always better if you're alone during the examination because you have to tell the truth. And you might not if your boyfriend is in the room." The doctor told her.

"Sean and I don't keep secrets. I'll tell the truth. I have nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed of. Please let him stay!" Emma pleaded with the doctor.

The doctor sighed.

"Ok, fine. But you have to tell the truth!"

"Like she said we don't keep secrets." Sean said as he took his seat back next to Emma. She laid her head on his shoulder. The doctor started the examination while a police officer asked her what happened.

"Ok Ms. Nelson, do you know the guy who attacked you?" The police officer asked.

"Yes, I know him through my good friend Jimmy. His name is Derrick Whitman (I just made up his last name because I have no clue)."

"Ok, Ms. Nelson you'll have to tell me exactly what happened." The officer asked.

"Well Sean and I were at a party at my friend's house. It started getting late and people were starting to leave. Sean and I were talking in the kitchen when someone he knew from one of his classes asked him to help carry his drunk friends to his car. Sean left to help and I stayed in the kitchen. That was when Derrick came up to me and started talking. He's has a crush on me for a while. He asked me on a date last Monday. I told him no and that I had a boyfriend. I thought maybe he'd get the hint and leave me alone after that. But then he came back up to me at the party. He started talking about a movie or something. I tried to quickly drink my drink so I could make getting another one an excuse to leave. But by the time I had finished it, I felt completely trashed. I don't know why though, I only had two drinks the whole night. And I asked Derrick to help me find Sean. He took my arm and helped me walk somewhere. But after that I don't remember much else, except the attack. I must have passed out."

"Ok. Ms. Nelson did you see Derrick slip anything into your drink?"

"No….if I did I wouldn't have drank it."

"I mean do you think of any time that you left or turned your back to the drink? Left it unattended?"

"Um…OH! I remember now. Derrick knocked my purse off of the table! I bent down to pick it up."

"Well it's very possible that he could have slipped the drug into your drink while you were picking up your purse."

"Well we're done examining you now Emma. You weren't raped. Sean must have gotten there just in time. But you do have some injuries. So I suggest that you take it easy for a while. You can go home as soon as the officer is finished with his questions. I'll give your mother some sleeping pills that you can take to help you sleep." The doctor said taking off his gloves and leaving the room.

"Ms. Nelson do you plan on pressing charges against Mr. Whitman?" The officer asked.

Emma had a short flashback of Derrick hitting her and ripping at her clothes.

"I want him to get what he deserves for what he did to me. I want to press charges." Emma said.

Sean squeezed Emma's hand when she said that.

"Ok, I'll send this to the police station. You'll have to get a lawyer. The station will let him know what's going to happen." The police officer put his hat back on and left the room.
