CHAPTER 18
ALLY:
I had just had a long, exhausting day at Tiffany. I just couldn't wait to get home. On my way back, I saw a car stop in front of me. It was the number one person I was trying to avoid- Kevin Harvard. He opened the door, and gripped me tightly, giving me a very threatening look.
"I know you slept with your doctor,"
he said to me, scaring me to death.
"It was a stupid drunken mistake, Kevin!"
"It wasn't a mistake! You're just a little hoe!"
He held me on his car and started screaming,
"YOU ARE A FUCKING SLUT! YOU REFUSE SEX WITH ME YET YOU HAVE SEX WITH HIM!"
Then he yelled out a string of four letter words and the more curse words he said, the more he beat me. Right then, I fell unconscious. I woke up several hours later, Trish standing over me.
"Ally? Ally? Ally, are you OK?"
I said,
"My head hurts."
Trish let out an ear-piercing shriek.
"What is it?"
I asked.
"ALLY I SAW A BIG ASS WOUND ON YOUR HEAD! I'M TAKING YOU TO THE ER RIGHT NOW!"
She called an ambulance and I was in the hospital.
TRISH:
I couldn't believe Kevin assaulted Ally again! She filed a restraining order against him, yet he still went near her. I let her live with Jace and I on a cold, rainy night when she had broken up with him and she was at my doorstep with a black eye and a scratch on her face. I was in the ER when I saw Dr. Moon, sitting at his desk filling out papers.
"DR. MOON!"
I yelled,
"I've never been happier to see you!"
He told me,
"Hey, Trish. What's going on?"
"Ally's in the ER! Her ex-boyfriend assaulted her!"
"What?"
I heard a male african-american voice on the PA, saying,
"Dr. Austin Moon to Emergency, please. Dr. Austin Moon to Emergency."
I asked,
"Can I go with you to see her?"
"By all means. You're a good friend for wanting to support her."
"I'm her best friend."
Dr. Moon asked me,
"What exactly happened to her?"
I said,
"She was assaulted by her ex-boyfriend and I saw a big lesion on her head."
"She told me about her ex-boyfriend. I hope she's alright."
Ally was just lying in the bed, with a tube in her throat. Dr. Moon was just looking around her head, obviously searching for the lesion on her head.
ALLY:
I could feel Austin feeling my head with his hands.
"Are you OK?"
he asked me, with obvious concern and yearn to console me.
"I hope so. Last I remember, my abusive ex-boyfriend beat me."
He touched my face and I felt another bit of pain.
"Ow,"
I whimpered quietly.
"What's wrong?"
"My face. It hurts."
"Your head has an open wound and you have touch of an abrasion on your face, but you'll be fine. You just need some TLC."
I could hear him say to himself,
"That poor thing."
Later, I got some stitches from him and he told me,
"Your head's all fixed. You should keep it clean and dry and keep your hair dry for five days. Now let's clean that abrasion on your face."
I saw him go over to a sink and wash his hands with soap and water. He put on a pair of gloves, wettened a paper towel and rubbed soap into it, and got some gauze and tape, setting the bandage on the beside table and dabbed at my wound, covering it in the gauze and tape. He gave me a kiss on my forehead for consolation.
"There. Does that feel better?"
he asked me.
"Much. Thank you."
"It's part of my job. Ooh, by the way, when was your last tetanus vaccination?"
"I think when I was a baby."
"Well, we should give you a booster to be on the safe side. And I'll prescribe you some antibiotics that you should take for ten days."
"OK."
He told me,
"I'll be right back,"
he gave me another kiss on my forehead. Trish was stroking my forehead, saying,
"You're such a trooper."
I said,
"Thanks."
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I'm so proud of the publicity In love with my Doctor is getting! I love seeing all the nice reviews you guys leave on it. On another note, ironically, I'm participating in my school blood drive. Almost eight years ago when I was nine, I had to have a blood drawing because I was constantly throwing up in my sleep and I guess they wanted to a pathology test to see what kind of illness I had. Hugs and kisses! :)
