Chapter 5: Time to Heal
Carrie cracked her eyes open to see sun streaming through an unfamiliar window. She sat up in the bed she was sleeping in and looked around the strange room. Monitors were hooked all over her body and Kevin was sound asleep in the chair beside her bed with his head leaning against the mattress. The ivy hanging above her bed was dripping steadily into her arm. Nurses bustled down the hallways and patients were wheeled into different rooms.
Kevin woke up suddenly to find Carrie soaking in her surroundings with one hand on her stomach. He smiled and sat all the way up; the crick in his neck made him regret sleeping in such an awkward position. Carrie still hadn't noticed him because she was staring out the window on the other side of the room with her long brown hair streaming halfway down her back. When she pushed a strand behind her ear, a bruise on her wrist caught his attention. He felt sick when he thought of what that man did to her.
"Good morning," he greeted her quietly.
Carrie snapped her head around completely startled by the sound of another voice. She still felt jumpy all the time, even though she knew she was safe. Glenoak was miles and miles away from New York, where Sam lived. Kevin didn't miss the fear that shone in her eyes when she heard his voice. That was when he realized the damage that had been done to her.
"Oh, hi," she replied when she regained composure.
"Are you feeling okay?" Kevin asked her with concern.
She smiled at him, "Yeah, I'm feeling great."
A young woman came into the room pushing a cart with some sort of a monitor on it. She introduced herself as Dr. Harrison. She explained that she needed to take a sonogram of the baby to double-check anything that could be wrong. Carrie nodded and pulled up her gown to expose the slight bulge of her stomach. The doctor rubbed some gel on Carrie's stomach after warning her it was cold. When the probe touched her belly an image appeared on the screen.
"Here's the baby's head," Dr. Harrison told Carrie and Kevin while pointing to it on the monitor.
Seeing her child on the screen made the entire situation real, "Wow."
The doctor continued, "Here are the arms and the legs, oh would you like to know the sex?"
"Um..." Carrie started and looked at Kevin.
Kevin just shrugged, so she answered, "Yeah, I guess it would be easier."
Dr. Harrison smiled, "Congratulations! You're going to have a healthy baby girl in six months."
Carrie grinned and was filled with blithe at the news she had just received. She was having a girl! Her baby girl wouldn't have to go through what she went through, she promised herself. Kevin sat on the bed next to Carrie and hugged her. A smile danced across her face and this gave her a small amount of happiness. Even though the entire ordeal was a living nightmare, she was getting a piece of heaven out of it. A child of her own. The doctor said she was okay to go home in a few hours if she was feeling okay. Carrie nodded zealously because she hated hospitals and the way she had no privacy.

X was filled with exhaustion as he passed the sign that said 'Welcome to Glenoak' He hadn't slept in several days and he only stopped to fill up the gas tank on his motorcycle every few cities. He pulled into the hospital parking lot and took his helmet off. As he walked into the building several girls admired his hot looks. He was wearing low-rise, boot-cut jeans and a black Metallica T-shirt. His leather jacket was slung over his shoulder and he was carrying his helmet under his right arm. His dark hair was messy and spiked in a fashionable style.
Ignoring the looks he received, X walked up to the reception desk and asked what room Carrie Kinkirk was staying at. The nurses had been given instructions to screen all the people who wanted to visit her and asked him his name and his relation to the patient.
"My name is X and Carrie is my girlfriend," he informed her honestly.
She frowned in response, "All right, we'll see what we can do. Take a seat in the waiting room and I'll call you when I hear something."
"Yes ma'am," he politely replied and obliged her request.
A few minutes later he saw a twenty something year old man walk down a corridor towards the waiting room. The man spoke quietly with the nurse and she pointed towards where X was sitting. The man walked over to the teen and sat in a chair across from him.
"Who are you?" the man asked.
X honestly stated, "I'm Carrie's boyfriend, X."
"X? Is that your real name," the man inquired with his frown still on his face.
X took a breath and tried to remain calm, "It's short for Xavier, but my own mother doesn't even call me that."
"Oh," the strange man simply returned.
X was puzzled and decided to be a bit forward, "Excuse me, but you never introduced yourself."
"Oh! I'm Kevin, Carrie's brother," he replied sheepishly and stuck his hand out to make the teen's acquaintance.
"Pleasure to meet you, sir. How is Carrie doing?" X asked earnestly.
Kevin sighed and motioned for X to follow him. They ambled down the same hallway Kevin had come down originally and turned into a room. All of X's worries came back when he saw her. He felt his stomach drop at the sight of his love. The jackass that made her react this way had to die! X knew he'd be the one to kill him. He didn't save her the first time, but he would be her knight in shining armor this time.
*****
Carrie and Kevin had been talking about everything but the reason she was here. She knew he didn't want to pressure her and she was relieved. Carrie didn't want to talk about it any more. Her stepfather had raped her, and now she was pregnant. The whole ordeal was too much for her to handle right now, so she chose to ignore it. That choice had been working well so far.
There was a call and she picked up the phone next to her bed. It was the receptionist wanting to speak to Kevin. Carrie handed him the phone and lay back against her bed while he spoke. Finally, he hung up and told Carrie he would be right back. She didn't miss the concern etched into his strong features as he kissed her forehead. Now, Carrie was lying in her bed all alone waiting for the return of her older brother. After a few minutes, Kevin's voice floated into her room. Her heart stopped when she heard another male voice with his. Carrie didn't know who it was and fear started to well up within her.
Her breath caught in her throat and she scrambled off the bed. There was an IV in her arm, which made her feel trapped. Panic spread to every nerve in her body and it told her to hide. Desperately, she grabbed at the wire and was able to successfully pull it out of her arm. Blood gushed from the hole as soon as she took it out, but she didn't allow her mouth to scream. Carrie looked around for a hiding place, but she couldn't find one. With her right hand covering the bloody opening on her right hand, she huddled in a corner trying to keep the tears from falling. She failed and reprimanded herself when she heard the strangled sob escape from her throat. Carrie shook in terror at the fate she was sure awaited her.
*****
Kevin ran into the room to comfort his hysterical sister. X just stared at the girl he loved in horror. She was huddled in a corner with her knees pulled to her chest. The gown was up and he saw all the bruising on her inner thighs and feminine areas. They had never had actual sex, but the two of them had experimented in oral sex and he had seen everything then. His stomach churned when he saw her bawling her eyes out into her brother's shoulder. X couldn't do anything but stand there like a moron staring at her.
"Carrie," Kevin said calmly, "Sweetheart, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Honey talk to me,"
Carrie tried to talk between her tears, "I.. he *sob* d a...*sniffle* vo *gasp* s."
Kevin had no idea what she was saying, so he just held her and continued to whisper soothing words in her ear. She composed herself slightly and looked up into the big brown eyes that belonged to her X. Relief and guilt came over her as she pulled herself into a standing position and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck. X hugged Carrie back lightly. He didn't want to hurt her any more than she already had been. In one easy motion, he scooped her into his arms and laid her back onto her bed. Kevin buzzed for a nurse and X wiped Carrie's tears away with a tissue.
Carrie spent the next ten minutes calming down as a sympathetic nurse bandaged up the gash where Carrie had ripped the IV out. The nurse didn't put a new IV in since she was going to check out in another hour or so. She smiled at the three and left the room to attend to other patients. X wrapped his arms protectively around the girl he loved and stroked her long hair. Carrie didn't say a word for the rest of her stay in the hospital. Dr. Hastings gave her one last pelvic exam and told her to take antibiotics and he scheduled an appointment for the following week to check her progress.
The only clothes she had were the ones she was wearing when she arrived. Lucy's mom had washed them for her. She slipped on the revealing top and didn't care what anybody thought. When she had finished dressing, she walked out to join her brother and the love of her life. She just hoped he still loved her. They walked to Kevin's car, but X told her he had to ride his bike to Kevin's house. Carrie only nodded slightly in response. X squeezed her hand and followed them back to the house. Once they arrived at the Camden's, Carrie didn't get out of the car. She saw a lot of people sitting in the living room and she didn't want to deal with any of it. Carrie just sat in Kevin's car and stared at her legs clad in fishnet stockings. Kevin knew she didn't want to go in yet, and he just sat with her in the car to wait for her to get ready. Carrie only needed time. Time to heal, both physically and emotionally.
