Eli's POV:

I ran as fast as I could to the Toronto public hospital when I noticed the girls eye's were closed. It took me about ten agonizing minutes of strained muscles and sweaty skin to reach my destination. I busted through the large glass doors and demanded a doctor. They all rushed into a cluster around the girl in my arms, with concerned faces they examined her and loaded her unconscious body onto a rolling bed. I glared down the hallway that usually held death in its rooms, still in shock at what had just happened. The sting of adrenaline still hanging in the air. I went over to the waiting area and slowly sat on a plain covered couch starting to plunder through my mind.

The girl kept appearing in my mind, the look on her face when I pulled Fitz off of her, it was unforgettable. Her red curls were all in her face, her breast's exposed, and then her big oval blue eye's filled with fear. She looked like she hadn't eaten in days.

Then there was Fitz, who was taking something so innocent and special from a girl he didn't even know. I never thought he would take it this far, I mean, he talked about other girls at school, but I never thought he would actually rape someone.

I sat there for what seemed like forever. I don't know why I stayed, I didn't even know the red head. I noticed a doctor walking towards me and I stood up quickly waiting for any type of news about the girl.

" Mr. Edwards, I presume? The middle aged man asked.

"Oh no. I'm just the one who found her." his eyebrows raised.

"So your not the male who had sexual intercourse with her?" I just told him I was the one who found the girl!

"NO!" I said annoyingly.

"Ok well we were unable to contact Ms. Edwards mother or any other family members in our file ,so I'm concluding you are one of her friends, is that correct?"

Oh no! what do I say? Do I lie and tell him that I am a friend when I'm really some random guy off the street who just decided to help someone in need. Or do I tell him the truth, that she was raped by my best friend and I saved her?

"Yes." I lied

" Well Ms. Edwards has contracted a rare disease for her age, she has uterine polyps, which is where the polyps attach to inner wall of the uterus and sometimes these polyps can slide into the vaginal cavity which results into bleeding." I did not need to hear this. I wasn't even the girl's friend.

"Now what we are going to do is go inside her and scrape the walls of her uterus until all the polyps are removed." All I want to do right now is go throw up violently in a trash can somewhere.

" Is she going to be ok?" I asked in anticipation.

" Yes. But she was very lucky. You have no idea how close she came to bleeding out tonight… She is awake, would you like to visit her?" My mind raced for an answer, what should I say? It be kinda weird for a friend to leave another friend in the hospital alone.

"Sure." Sure! Really Eli all you could come up with is sure! I followed the doctor down the hall and up the elevator, we came to room 663. I stopped before I went in and took a deep breath. How would she react when she saw me? Would she be afraid of me or would she thank.

Clare POV:

I stared motionless at the boring hospital wall trying to hold back the tears that were threatening me. I looked down at my abstinence ring on my left hand and could start to feel the edges of my lips waning down on my mouth. I ran my hands over my chest and my mid section to cover me. I know had a gown on but I still felt naked.

My head flipped towards the door to see my doctor and the boy from last night. He stood in the doorway staring at his feet with his hair in his face. He wore a black dead hand shirt with skinny jeans that all matched with his converse.

"I'll leave you two to talk." The doctor said and quietly left the room. Awkward silence screamed from every corner.

I gawked at him waiting for something. Why did he stay? He didn't even know me? I bet if he knew what I did he would leave.

"I'm sorry." he finally said. I gave him a puzzled look and motioned him to come and sit by me. He obeyed.

"Why are you sorry, your not the one who…who-" I broke off unable to speak the nightmare.

" But I knew the guy who… did that to you and he was one of my best friends and I feel like I could've stopped him." The boys face was filled with agony.

" Its ok… Thanks for stopping him…" my voice broke, talking about what happened made my eyes water up.

"Your welcome… Please don't cry… I hate it when a pretty girl like you cry's." He smirked trying to lighten the mood but failed as a one tear landed on my cheek.
