"Alex…are you being abused?"
Alex was silent, before more tears fell from her tired eyes. "Yes."
"By who?""My Ex boyfriend…Mason."
"And you haven't told anyone?"
Alex shook her head, glancing at the clock above the door. "I keep trying to get away from him, but he keeps finding me. My boyfriend and I had been going out for two years, then he left for a while, because he move. While he was gone, Mason came along and we began to date. But…then he became…abusive. I broke up with him and he left for a while. Dean's been back for two years and Mason's been back for a year, abusing me."
"Is this why you've stopped eating?"
Alex shook her head, glancing at the clock once again. "There's nothing wrong with me."
"Alex it's okay to admit it."
"Okay. What do you want me to say?! That I think I'm fat?! That I was sexually abused?! That I'm tired of living like this?!" Tears exploded from her tired eyes, glancing at the clock for a third time.
"I'm so sorry. I'm going to help you get through this. We're done for today."
"Can you send my boyfriend in?"
Samantha nodded, before quietly leaving the room. It had been another eight minutes, before Dean had arrived in the room. "Hey babe. How you doing?"
Alex shrugged, even though she knew the answer was, "terrible." She had wanted to tell him her secret, but now that he was standing in the room, she felt as if the words wouldn't slip from her mouth. "I…I…"
"You can tell me anything Alex. You know I won't tell anyone."
"I can't." Alex's tears began to fall for the umpteenth time, glancing at the clock for a fourth time. "If…if Ma…Mason comes to the hospital…tell him…tell him I'm not here."
"Mason? You mean that jerk who broke your heart and almost killed you guys?" Dean asked, as he watched her nod her head. "Why? Why would he come?"
"I…I…he…I can't tell you."
"You can tell me anything."
"He's been…abusing me." The words finally slipped from her lips, more tears tracing her pale cheeks.
"What?! You haven't told me?! What…what has he done to you? I'm going to kill him! How…how long has this been going on for?"
"A year."
"A year? This has been going on for a year, and you haven't said anything?!" Dean's voice began to grow tense and Alex could hear that he was angry.
"I'm sorry." Came Alex's meek voice, as her tears continued to flow down her sickly face.
"I'm not…I'm not mad. I'm just angry at this disgusting jerk! If he ever lays a hand on you again, I'll kill him."
"Dean…I love you."
"I love you too."
