I slowly opened my eyes, and took a deep breath. All my body ached and my head was spinning. I found myself in a bed; I was probably in the hospital.
I felt so bad that I just wanted to throw up. I stayed that way for a little bit, and then looked at my hands, they we´re involved in bandages. That was when I remembered that I burned that guy´s hands, I don´t know how I did that.
Someone entered the room and I had to focus my eyes to see who it was.
-Hi, Sam, how are you feeling?
It was my little friend Dice, thank god I see someone. I don´t know what happened after I passed out.
-A bit bruised.
-It´s normal. -he pushed a chair and sat next to me. -you were really assaulted.
I growled.
-And why do I have these bandages?
-Well the doctor said that you had your hands a bit burned. It was probably what those bad guys did to you. Don´t you remember?
-No. I just remember that when he was raping me, he screamed in pain, he said that it was me who burned him. It all happened so fast, I am still confused.
-Don´t worry, you will get better, and maybe then you will remember.
Suddenly the memories of Cat being violated by that fat wad raised my mind and I couldn´t stop tears from falling, I wasn´t capable of protecting her.
Dice seized my hand carefully.
-hey…it´s everything fine. You're safe here.
I wiped the tears away with my thumb. I couldn´t believe I cried in front of him.
-Thanks, and other thing. Don´t tell anyone about seeing me cry, okay?
-Yeah, sure.
-Where…is Cat?
-She´s in another room, but she is fine.
I slowly got myself upright. And I felt like fell to the ground, and then I inhaled some more and felt a little steadier.
-What are you doing?
I could feel concern on his voice.
-Take me to Cat.
-You can´t go.
-Please I need to see her!
-She didn´t wake up yet!
-I don´t care! If I had forced her to stay in our apartment this would never happen to her. It would just happen to me, but I wouldn´t care if that happened to me, Cat is more important to me, than myself!
He´s eyes wide opened, I bet he was really surprised at the confession.
-Okay, If it´s that what you want.
He helped me getting out of the room. He looked around him, probably he didn´t want to be caught but any doctors.
-She´s in here. Her Nona it´s inside. -he said gesturing to the room. I took a deep breath before entering the room.
I looked at Cat´s broken form. She was asleep. She wouldn´t never fully recover from the mental damage she had suffered. Her Nona was sat next to her.
-Sam?
-Nona.
-You shouldn´t be here. You should be resting.
-I know, but I needed to know how Cat was.
-Well, she didn´t woke up yet. I just hope she is okay.
-Nona…could you… I mean…
-Of course you can stay here with her alone. I´m going outside drink a coffee.
She left the room, we we´re alone. The only sound was of Cat sleeping.
She looked so fragile, I gave her a caress on the cheek, and I think it was that that made her wake up. The look on her face was only one: panic.
-Get away from me! -I was caught in surprise by her scream and I fell to the ground.
She snatched her pillow and started beating me with it, and then the room door opened.
-What´s happening? -Dice cried out.
Cat pointed her pillow to him.
-Cat, everything´s fine! We´re safe. -I had to talk calmly, I didn´t want Cat to be more panicked. -we´re safe now.
Even with me saying this, she refused to lower her pillow, I tried to approach her and communicate.
-It´s me, Sam.
When she heard my name she collapsed on her knees and started crying. I quickly sat beside her and wrapped my arms around her.
-I´m here, don´t worry…I´m here with you.
I looked at Dice and he left us alone, he understood that we needed some privacy.
Cat´s sobs we´re breaking my heart. I can´t take the images of her being raped by that guy. Thinking of this was just making me even furious. And I felt my hands hot again, I looked at one of them and saw that the bandages wanted to start burning, but then I thought in calming myself, and it went all back to normal. I didn´t know what has happening to me.
Some minutes later her crying turned into sniffles.
She looked at me broken, and lost.
-I'm not a virgin anymore Sam…
-I know…I don´t either…
-I feel so filthy.
I embraced her tightly and she returned the embrace.
-We will get through this…- I doubted my own words.
-And if we don´t?
I pushed her away from my chest to confront her.
-We will, Cat. Don't be negative. We have to always think positive.
-Thank you Sam. -she looked at me worried. -what is that on your neck?
I touched my neck and it hurt.
-It was probably when that guy was raping me. He bitted me.
-Oh Sam… -she touched my neck and I winced with the touch. -sorry.
-Don´t worry. This will disappear in a couple of days.
Then she placed her forehead on mine.
-Thanks for trying to save me.
-I had to. You're the most important person on my life…
-And your mine…
