Cry

A/N: This story is about a girl who gets attacked by her boyfriend at school. She tries to break up with him… but he doesn't take it very well. Each chapter is named after a song by Kelly Clarkson. I don't own SVU or Kelly.

A/N2: I messed up on some names in the last chapter, the EMT is Patricia, and the Principal is Mr. Willis. I guess I wasn't paying attention… oh well.

Chapter 3: Hear Me

"Hear me I'm crying now, I'm ready now, turn my world upside down, find me, I'm lost inside the crowd it's getting loud, I need you to see I'm screaming for you to please hear me, I'm restless and wild, I fall but I try, I need someone to understand, I'm lost in my thoughts and baby I've fought for all that I've got, hear me…" Kelly Clarkson

The women help the teen onto the gurney, Coach Evans watches as Madeline grips onto one end and squeezes Coach Yearwood's hand with her other hand.

Mrs. McBride follows them out and says, "I'll drive behind. I've just got to get my stuff from my office. I'll be right there."

"Okay. I think we're all good to go." Patricia states.

Madeline tries to control her emotions and Coach Yearwood can see another panic attack coming on. "Shhh. Take a deep breath. I'm not letting go."

The EMT closes the door to the ambulance and tells the driver he's ready to go. He pulls off and Mrs. McBride watches as she gets into her Black BMW convertible.

AMBULANCE HEADED TO ST. CATHEREINE'S HOSPITAL
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK
10:30am

Madeline squeezes the life out of Coach Yearwood's hand as the EMT begins to talk, "We need to get an IV in her, and hook up a monitor."

Madeline tries to fight with the EMT as she begins to stick the needle in her arm. "Honey, shhh, it's okay. It's okay." Coach Yearwood tries to reassure her.

The teen basically ignores the woman trying to comfort her and is paying too much attention to the needle entering her arm. She starts kicking and screaming, crying, and yelling at the EMT to stop. Coach Yearwood looks at the woman with apologetic eyes and says, "She normally doesn't do this…"

"It's okay, I've seen worse." Patricia reassures her.

"DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS!" Madeline screams.

"Honey, look at me, no one is going to hurt you ever again, I promise." Lindsey Yearwood reassures her.

"I don't believe you." the redheaded teen replies.

The EMT notices Madeline's continuing struggle against their help and says to Lindsey, "We can sedate her until we get to the hospital and through the examination."

"NO!!!" Madeline screams.

By now Madeline is crying so hard she can barley catch her breath. The women notice and Lindsey rubs her shoulder, "Take some deep breaths, sweetheart, you need to calm down."

"Madeline, lay back and relax, I'm not doing anything more to you now." the EMT tells her.

The teen takes some raspy deep breaths and the EMT grabs the oxygen mask from the hanger, "honey, this will help you breathe easier," and gently places it over the teen's face.

Maddie takes a big breath of the oxygen and tries to stop crying. Patricia notices that Maddie's breathing has slowed, and returned to normal so she gently removes the mask. Maddie tries to smile at the woman, but it won't come.

Lindsey sees that she's trying to calm herself, instead of having a panic attack, and smiles, "You're doing great, I know this is a lot to go through, but I won't let you do it alone."

ST. CATHERINE'S HOSPITAL
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK
10:45 am

The ambulance pulls up under the awning at St. Catherine's hospital ten minutes later. The ER doctors at the hospital pull the doors open, "What've we got?"

"Madeline Hanson, seventeen, raped, beaten, no other signs of trauma." the EMT informs them.

Madeline hangs her head in embarrassment because the woman has just told them what happened like it was nothing.

Patricia helps the doctors remove the gurney from the ambulance and Coach Yearwood follows. A short, strawberry blond woman approaches the group, "I'm Suzie Avery, I specialize in sexual assaults, I'm going to be taking care of you today." she shakes hands with Coach Yearwood and smiles down at Madeline.

Closely behind them, a black BMW convertible zips into a parking space close to the ER door. A tall brunette woman gets out of the drivers side and slams the door shut. She quickly walks to catch up with the gurney. She sees her friend Suzie talking to the EMT.

When she catches up to them, "Suzanne Avery."

"Nicole McBride?" the nurse asks.

"Yep. It's me." the brunette answers.

"What are you doing here."

"I'm with Madeline. I'm her Assistant Principal, well not really, but hers was out today." she answers.

Nicole sees Madeline shaking in fear and crying on the gurney. She brushes the red, sweaty, curl out of the girl's forehead and smiles, "It's okay honey, we're not going to hurt you anymore."

Suzie smiles and pushes Madeline's gurney inside the hospital doors. Once they reach the examination room, Madeline has calmed down some, and still hasn't let go of Coach Yearwood's hand.

Madeline notices the recliner - like bed in the room and realizes what the doctors are about to do. Coach Yearwood can feel Madeline tensing up and gently rubs her shoulder to soothe her.

"All right honey, let's get you up here and start the exam." Suzie calmly says.

Madeline glances around the room and shakes her head no. "DON'T MAKE ME."

"I wish you didn't have to honey, but it's the only way to prove he did it." Mrs. McBride tells her.

Suzie notices the girl's fear of her attacker and says, "we can give her something to calm her down, and then do the exam."

"I wanna go home!" Madeline pouts like a small child.

Before anyone can say anything else, a tall, muscular blond man walks in the room, and Madeline freaks out.

"I'm Doctor Perry." he introduces himself.

"Brad, I thought Dr. James was coming in for this one." Suzie quietly says to him.

"She can't." he states.

"This is going to be tough." the strawberry blond woman sighs.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" Madeline screams when she sees Dr. Perry approach her.

The man sees Coach Yearwood holding the girl's hand and asks, "Are you her mother?"

"No, sir. I'm her track coach. Her parents are out of town on a business trip." the woman politely answers.

Suzie looks at Madeline, "Honey, let's get you situated on the bed for right now. I'll talk to Dr. Perry and see if we can get you a different doctor."

The redheaded teen looks at her with frightened green eyes and nods in agreement. The women help her off of the gurney and she walks over to the bed, not letting go of Lindsey's hand the entire time.

Patricia smiles and says, "Looks like I'm done here, it's going to be fine Madeline, trust me."

"Bye Pat, see you later." Suzie says, smiling at the woman as she walks out of the room.

The women turn their attention back to the terrified teen sitting on the examination table waiting anxiously for them to say, or do something.

Suzie looks at Mrs. McBride, "Is it okay if I give her something to calm her down?"

"Yes. Is it going to make her go to sleep, or just calm her?" the brunette asks her friend.

"we can do one or the other." Suzie offers.

"I don't care." Madeline replies, "Just get this over with."

"Honey, if I put you to sleep, it will be over before you know it." Suzie informs her.

"Do it. I don't wanna feel anything." the teen instructs.

"Okay honey, but first we need you to change, and take some pictures for us real quick." Suzie explains.

"NO!" Madeline objects.

"Sweetheart, it's going to be okay, I'm not going anywhere." Lindsey reassures the teen.

Suzie helps the small teen off the bed, and puts some paper bags down on the floor. "Are those the clothes you had on when you were attacked?" she asks.

"no" Madeline answers.

"do you have them?" the nurse asks.

Mrs. McBride grabs a Wal-Mart sack out of her purse and gives it to the nurse, who then puts the different pieces in the bags.

Suzie then asks Madeline to take her sweats off so she can take pictures of the bruises on her back. Once they finish taking pictures, Madeline is handed a white paper gown to put on while they do the exam. She puts the gown on and walks back over to the bed, and jumps onto it.

The door opens and a tall African - American woman comes in with the medicine to make Madeline calm down. She hands Suzie the sedative and smiles at Madeline.

Suzie hands the cup of clear liquid to the teen and says, "It's okay honey, this is going to make you calm down and relax."

Madeline reluctantly drinks the liquid and hands the cup back to Suzie. They wait for it to kick in before they start the exam.

While they are waiting, Dr. Perry returns with two other adults. The brunette woman shows her badge to Suzie who smiles in return.

"Madeline, I'm Detective Benson, and this is my partner, Detective Stabler." the woman calmly says.

Madeline looks at her, and then the man and the doctor standing on either side of her. "I don't wanna talk to him."

"You don't have to. He can wait outside if you want." the brunette smiles.

"Please…" the redheaded teen replies.

"Elliot you heard her…" the brunette says.

"Fine. I'll leave." Elliot replies and leaves the room.

"Have you started the exam yet?" Olivia asks the nurse.

"No. We've given her a sedative to make her calm down. She's very shaken, someone's really done something to her." the nurse answers.

"Okay. Well to me it looks like she's calmed down now." Olivia says, looking at Madeline who's laying back on the table, with her eyes closed, still holding onto Coach Yearwood's hand.

Suzie smiles and says, "I believe so. Let's get started."
