Brother + Jealousy = Hospital

Tinka found herself in a predicament. With the cast on her arm, she one, couldn't write, and two, she had to make up two plausible excuses for why her arm was broken, one for Liz, and one for Tinka.

She put on her clothes with no help at all, which was proving difficult since she only had mobility in one arm.

Tonight was critical. She and Ty were going a double date with Rocky and Deuce.

She didn't really want to go. She wanted to spend time with Ty, but because of the insistence brought on by Cece, they had to go.

"Rocky, come on, you've been in your room for an hour. This whole double date thing was your idea, so finish getting ready and let's go." Ty grumbled.

He thought of what Tinka might be doing. She was probably waiting in the lobby, looking out for Gunter.

"He won't hurt her if it's in public, right?" He thought as he grimaced at what might become of her when faced with the wrath of Gunter Hessenheffer.

"Ready." Rocky said as he snapped out of his daze. She was wearing a dark purple strapless mini dress, that hung on her body, complimenting her skin tone.

"Don't you think that's a bit much?" Ty said raising his eyebrow as if to give her the 'bitch please' look.

"Well since Deuce is coming, I thought that it would be best it I dressed up." She said, standing her ground.

"Oh, so you like him, do ya?" He said leaning forward as if to scrutinize his sister.

"This is what Gunter and Tinka should have." He thought as he looked down, remembering the broken arm incident.

"Yes I do, there's nothing you can do about it. Now get your car and let's go, I'll go get Deuce." She said walking out of the room.

"Hey Rocky, do you know mouth-to-mouth?" He said jokingly.

She strolled back into the room," Ya, why?"

"'Cause when Deuce sees you in that dress, he's gonna need it." He teased.

"So Liz, how did you get the broken arm?" Rocky asked while picking at her salad.

"I was playing basketball with some people from the apartment, and a guy accidentally pushed me over, even though it was an accident, it was a hard fall, and then I got this." She said motioning to her left arm.

"You like basketball too? We should play sometime." Rocky said, ecstatic.

This was so uncomfortable for Tinka. She knew that the slightest cocking of the head would trigger her wig to start sliding off.

Ty saw her worry and squeezed her hand under the table.

"So, what school are you going to." Deuce asked, taking a break from tearing apart his pasta.

"Um… well, my parents are looking over the options. I think I'm going to trial your school for a day, but most of the time, I'll be at other schools. See my dad's job is weird right now because his firm is setting up an office in L.A, and they might want him to be the head of it, so I might have limited time here, which is horrible." Tinka said looking down at her soup.

Ty knew she was smiling a bit. The fact that she had them at her fingers was priceless. She had really thought ahead.

Curious, Rocky asked," So you might be gone?"

"In about two weeks, then they give the verdict." Ty felt like laughing. Deuce and Rocky looked genuinely sad. Little did they know.

"That was great." Tinka said as Ty walked her up the fire escape.

He had driven Rocky and Deuce home first, so he could have some alone time with 'Liz'.

Sure enough, there Gunter was sitting, Glitter and all, seething.

"So, vhere vas the slut tonight?" Gunter asked folding his arms, ready to claw.

Ty stepped in front of Tinka and said," Don't you dare call my girlfriend a slut!"

"Don't!" Tinka said stepping in between the two.

The tension was building. She could feel it, choking her.

"Ty, just go." She said putting a reassuring hand on his chest.

"But-" He stuttered.

"Bye." She said kissing him on the cheek.

He started down the fire escape, but listening intently. He was scared for her.

Tinka stepped into her room, and a fuming Gunter stepped in.

"Vhere vere you?" He said, teeth grinding.

"I wasn't even out late, Gunter, I was on a double date with Ty and Rocky and Deuce."

"You need to stop. You're not being Tinka-" He said before he was cut off, this time was an enraged Tinka.

"Who are you to decide who I am? I don't care what you think, I really, really like Ty, and now half-witted idiot is going to tell me I can't date him because it is not what Tinka would do."

"Are you screaming at me?" Gunter said, stepping a little too close. She pushed him away, but that only made his angrier.

"How dare you!" He said, pummeling her with punches.

Her chest felt like it was on fire, each and every punch like a bullet, delving deep into her, but it was the mental pain that had hurt.

She tried to fight back, and managed to get a good shot at his face, then everything went black.

Beep, beep, beep…

The sound of the hospitals went around her, and she didn't even realize it.

Beep, beep, beep…

Her eyes fluttered open, to find Ty Blue standing beside her, along with Cece and Rocky.

Remembering to use the accent, she weakily mustered up," Vhat am I doing here?"

"You were found beaten in your apartment. Gunter said you were attacked by some gang members.

She looked at her injuries. She assumed that her chest would be riddled with bruises. "May I have a mirror?"

Rocky handed her a small mirror, and instantly, horror came across Tinka's face.

She had a black eye, a busted up lip, and a cut on her neck.

"You're so lucky to have a brother like Gunter, he saved you." Cece said admiringly.

Tinka's eyes grew wide with fear. She remembered now. He was beating her and she managed to punch his face, and that's when he took out the pocket knife, and gave her the cut on her neck.

"Vas I? Vas… I…" She started to weep.

She could see the anger in Ty's eyes. He looked like he could kill Gunter then and there," You weren't raped, but you were brought to the hospital in a ripped shirt."

"Could everyone leave? I'm really tired." She said and she knew her face was going pale.

Rocky and Cece were the first ones out, but Ty stayed for a bit longer.

"I want to kill him." Ty said, looking into her eyes. They were tainted with drowsiness, fear, and anger.

"I do to but, but he's my brother… I have to love him." She said trying to wipe the tears off of her face.

"No you don't. Tell them the truth. You'll be free. He'll be punished." He insisted, wiping the tears for her.

"I don't… know… Ty, just go." She said looking away.

He obliged and closed the door, and the world seemed to lose its color.

So what did you think? Gunter is such a jerk, it was so tempting to make him rape her, but that would go way to far, so he almost got to it, but yah… I think it's because the emotional fear is greater than the physical pain so it made it that much scarier to think he could do it again.
