When Everything Is Meant To Be Broken

Liberty heard the sound of May's frantic voice yelling for her to wake up, Liberty tried to open her eyes but her body was sinking deeper and deeper into oblivion on her, she could hear the voices of May and Nick's voices as well as others around her trying to bring life back to her body, with out warning her body began to convulse furiously. She heard screaming around her, and hear May say 'call an ambulance' she felt so tired and so drained her body couldn't fight anymore, she couldn't hold on, suddenly she began to sleep away.

" I'm losing a pulse" the paramedics yelled out as they started to shock Liberty

" Crank up to 250 watts" the second paramedic yelled

The shocked Liberty again and but still no pulse.

" crank it up to 300 watts"

They tried again and checked for a pulse they couldn't find anything and were about shock her again when

" we got a pulse, its weak but we have one, lets bag her and get her to the hospital" the paramedic exclaimed as the quickly put her on the stretcher and carried her away

" I'm gonna go with her in the ambulance" May told Nick as she walked towards the ambulance

Nick stood there in silence trying to make sense of this, when they found Liberty she was barely breathing, she was rapped in a blanket with only her underwear on, Nick knew something happened, the doctors just had to confirm it. Nick was pulled out of his thoughts by Anna

"come on, let's go have breakfast"

Nick shook his head " I'm going to the hospital"

" what, you would choose her over me?" Anna replied appalled

" Her life is at risk, she is one of my friends she needs me" Nick exclaimed as he walked away

Anna sighed, she walked after, she would have to keep a close eye on Liberty

" Maybe if were lucky enough she in to a coma" Anna laughed to herself

At the hospital May, Nick and others were waiting for the doctor to come out, since they had found Liberty laying in abandoned corridor of the university, things got from bad to worse, May checked to see if Liberty was wearing any clothes she only in her underwear and when May saw the bruises on Liberty's legs she removed the she slightly to she there deeper bruises on her inner thighs and that's when she knew Liberty had been assaulted, May paced back and forth and Nick sat on the uncomfortable plastic chair biting his nails an habit he never had before. They waited for what seems like forever before the doctor came in, they all stood up immediately and rushed to the doctor's side before the doctor began to speak

" Well um the patient is now stable, she had stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest, this is because we found a heavy drug in her system its call Pentamol Caratism, it's a drug that is a tranqilizer, this is for people who are cerebral unstable.

it is extremely strong and one is enough to make a person eradicate a person's control over their body, we found around three in Liberty's system, do you think she would have done this purposely ?"

May spoke up immediately "no, no way she was fine when we started the party but as we got through the night, she started to behave strangely, it was after she had drunk her coke, I think some one must have spiked it"

The doctor nodded "well it gets worse, we found a series of bruises on Liberty's legs and inner thighs , this is consistent with trauma from a rape victim, we did a raped kit and we found no fluid but we defiantly know by the trauma that she was raped, it looks like he beat her afterwards to her body is covered with bruises, she is still in a fairly bad state and………"

Just before he could finish his sentence, a beeping sound went off and a nurse came in

" doctor, she is crashing, I think we are losing her"

The doctor ran off and May collapsed on the floor , Nick held her tight just as Anna walked in, Anna gave May a dirty look and tried to comfort her boyfriend

" is she gonna be ok?" she asked sweetly

" I don't know" Nick choked out

Meanwhile in the room ……

" I need two CC's and 250ml of morphine, stat" the doctor yelled out to the nurse

" I think she is overdosing, on what was given to her" he said again

Suddenly a loud, sharp piercing noise filled the air, " she is flat-lining" the doctor yelled

Liberty felt light all of a sudden and her soul pull away from her body, she was out side her own skin and she could see everything that was happening, she watched as the doctors did what they could to help her, but she wasn't responding

"CLEAR" the doctor yelled shocking Liberty's body again

But there was no response

" CLEAR" he exclaimed again

Liberty looked scared freighted not knowing what was going to happen to her, she felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned around to find JT standing there

" scary isn't it" JT asked

Liberty nodded and cried a bit

" hey, hey its gonna be ok, you'll be just find I know it Lib"

She nodded furiously and JT pulled her into a hug

" what ever happens just know I'm here for you always" JT whispered in her ear.

Liberty was stunned by what JT had said and gave him a look

"You know Lib, even when I'm gone that look still freaks me out"

They laughed and Liberty smiled slightly 'at least I'm with JT' she thought

JT held her as the doctors worked on her furiously

" come on Liberty, come on, were not going to lose you" he said as she placed another shock to Liberty's body

Suddenly the piercing sound faded away, Liberty turned around to she a steady heartbeat

She then turned to JT, he smiled

" ill always be here, whenever you need me" she smiled kissed her cheek and hugged her

She returned the gestures as she felt a pull in her body; she moved further and further from JT and into her rightful place and JT disappeared

The doctor came out of the room and again May and Nick immediately jumped out of their seats

" what happened doctor?" May immediately asked

" she is stable, she has a small but steady heartbeat and we had to pump all the drugs out of her but she is fine we are moving her to ICU, your friends a fighter"

May sighed in relief and Nick put his head in his hands, Anna was furious but tried her best to hide it

"may we see her?" May asked

The doctor nodded "one at a time"

May looked at Nick and he nodded to let her know it was ok for her to go in she accepted and walked inside

She walked in and saw Liberty hooked up to all different kinds of machines; she immediately started to cry and walked up to the bed

" you know, we ah nearly lost you today, I um was so scared when we found you, you looked so lifeless, we didn't think you were alive, but if anything Lib you're a fighter and we all knew you'd pull through" she wiped her tears and took Liberty's hand

" I'm here for you Lib, what ever you want ill be here for you I promise, so you just hang in there and we will get through this together, besides that what best friends are for right" May laughed a little and them sighed " well there is a whole bunch of people waiting to see if your alright, so I'm gonna let some of the talk to you" May walked out and it was Nick's turn to walk in he saw all the tubes and the machines and she sighed, he walked towards Liberty's frail body and took her hand gently

"you know when I find out who did this to you I'm gonna make them suffer, you didn't deserve this Liberty, not even for a second, you know people say that when you are about to lose someone you should tell them how you feel and well I might have lost you today, I don't ever want to make that mistake, so here goes nothing, Liberty I like you a lot I know this isn't the best of times to say it but I from the moment I saw you I know this may sound corny and you may use it against me later on but I lost all control in speech, in confidents it's like one look at you turns me to jelly, I hope you feel the same about me, and I know I have a girlfriend but the thought of actually losing you kills me inside, but now this had happened to you, this cruel, sadistic act and I just want you to know I'm here for you every step of the way morning, noon, or night ill be there no matter what" Nick sigh in relief he had finally gotten it all out of his system

Nick just sat there for twenty minutes just watching Liberty breathe, she looked so peaceful so serene but when se wake up she'll have to fact the horrific act that had happened to her, he kissed Liberty's hand before getting up

" ill be here for you Liberty no matter if it's as a friend or as something more, I'm gonna help you move past this" he kissed her forehead and walked away slowly

The light shun through the window and hit her eyes, she squinted slightly and moved her head away to block out the sun but it burned through her skin, she moaned in pain, Liberty eyes fluttered opened and she saw JT in the corner

" good morning, sleepyhead" JT smiled

Liberty smiled too "hey"

" how you feeling?" he asked sitting in the chair next to her

" I have had better days" Liberty sighed

JT nodded and took her hand " we nearly lost you there "

Liberty nodded " I know, but at least I would have been with you"

JT took her hand " it wasn't your time"

Liberty nodded " I know, I know"

" don't worry I'm still here" JT smiled

Liberty and JT talked for awhile before the doctor came in

" oh Mrs Van Zandt, I see your awake, that's great"

"yeah, can you get me anything for the my aching head" Liberty asked

" sorry this is all we can get you for now" the doctor smiled slightly

Liberty nodded, the doctor sighed and began to take again

" Liberty, what do you remember about yesterday?"

Liberty shook her " I ah, cant remember much, I remember being at the party and dancing and eating and drinking"

" Liberty, this is important to know, what did you drink?"

"I drunk a coke why?" Liberty asked stunned

" did it taste funny?" the doctor asked

Liberty looked at him stunned " ah, yeah it did, but I thought it just because I felt it out for to long"

The doctor sighted " Liberty you were drugged, with a tranquilizer someone deliberately spiked it"

Liberty was shocked she could do or say anything

" do you remember anything else?" thee doctor asked

Liberty shook her head

The doctor walked outside and brought in May inside and then started talking again

"Liberty, something happened while you were drugged "the doctor lamented

Liberty looked from left to right from the doctor to May "what, what's going on"

The doctor swallowed hard before starting up again

" well Liberty, the drugs must have taken your short term memory, well Liberty ah, I don't know how to tell you this but ah" the doctor began

Liberty began getting frustrated , she looked to JT who was standing behind the doctor, she saw JT put his head down in shame and she knew something bad happened

" what the hell happened to me?" she yelled out

"Liberty when you were drugged, someone found you and ah took advantage of you "the doctor chocked out

" how so?" Liberty asked confused

May decided to speak up " Liberty you were raped"

As soon as May said those words, her body went numb; she felt a cold shiver run through her body. She could say or do anything she just stared blankly in to the air; she could hear May call out her name but couldn't answer her. She was numb from the pain all she could hear was May's voice in her head "Liberty, you were raped" she hear again and again. Liberty looked up and saw JT, pain filled his eyes, and Liberty knew what the doctor was saying was right. Liberty body immediately shut down, she crawled up in to the fetal position and shut herself out from world refusing to eat, drink or take any medication. She wouldn't even respond to the doctors or nurses talking to her, this event hit her head on and she couldn't cope with it, JT came to her from time to time and talked to her for a while

" I should have just died" Liberty said as fresh tears stained her pale face

" don't say that Lib, maybe this is for the best" JT tried to comfort her

" I was raped JT, my life will never be the same again" Liberty cried

" your life will never be the same only if you let it, Liberty you're the toughest girl I know, you can get through this, you have your friends and your family to help you through this tough time" JT tried to comfort her

" my family, oh god, I haven't even told my parents yet, what am I going to tell them?" Liberty cried

" don't worry about that right now, just focus on you and tried to get some sleep"

Liberty nodded and watched as JT kissed her head " I love you" JT smiled

" I love you too" Liberty said looking directly in to his eyes

Liberty closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep, she began to dream but started to remember bits and pieces of what had happened

" where you going sweetheart?" The husky voice asked

" answer me" he yelled, his breath stained with the stench of alcohol

" glad your awake" he said deviously

" where am I?" Liberty said in fright

" my room" he laughed

"leaving so soon" he laughed wickedly moving his fingers through her hair

" now we are gonna have some fun" he whispered in her ear

" please, please don't, no" Liberty begged but it was no use

He grinned and whispered in her ear " no one can save you now

Liberty woke up in a cold sweat, panic ravaged through her body she felt as if she was losing control, she panicked and pulled the morphine drip out of her arm, she got up and ran out of the room. Soon enough the doctor found out she was gone and started to look for her, with the help of May. After looking for Liberty for twenty minutes May finally found Liberty curled up on the bathroom floor crying, May walked up to her and hugged her tightly as Liberty cried in her arms

" I cant deal with this, I close my eyes and I remember parts of it, I can still feel his hands on my body, his breath on my neck I cant do this, its just to much to handle" Liberty cried

May cried with her " I know honey, I know"

They both sat in the bathroom and cried together not knowing, Liberty cried for herself, for what she lost, and for the journey ahead of her as well as how she was going coping with this traumatic event.
