Kim

I tried to breathe slowly but it was hard. I mean it was hard not to panic when I didn't know if Jack was going to survive. It was my fault to begin with and now I might have killed the boy I love.

Beside me Milton said nothing or at least if he said anything I didn't hear him. He played with my hair which calmed me slightly which was good but nothing could stop the sickness in my stomach rise to the surface.

"It's okay honey" Milton said.

I shook my head "How can it be? Jack is in hospital because of me and I don't know if he will survive it. I put him in danger"

"You saved his life" the policewoman said, I think Milton called her Sam.

I shook my head again "I put him in danger"

I rested my head against the cold window, watching my breath steam it up. "How long, until we get there?" I asked impatiently.

"Not long but we're being followed" the policeman who drove us said.

"Take the back route" Sam ordered. "I need you two to get on the floor if I am right then the hospital is going to be surrounded with the press"

As we drove along a car who was behind us knocked into us the policeman swerved to avoid hitting another car.

My heart was in overdrive and I didn't know how much more it could actually take before it broke beyond repair.

Sam was right we got to the hospital in no time at all but the press was everywhere and all I saw were flashing lights of cameras attempting to get my picture. Sam threw her jacket on top of my head as Milton tried to hide me from view.

Eventually we fought our way through the hospital. It all happened so fast that I can't remember it. I went straight to Jack's side despite the protests of the hospital staff and Sam and Milton.

I held his hand and broke down in tears "I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me and my mistakes"

"Kim come on now" Milton said gently "the nurse needs to check you over"

I shook my head "I'm fine"

"Honey, come on do it for Jack so I don't have to lie to him when he wakes up he'll want to know if you are okay"

I nodded and let one of the nurses take me into a cubicle which had a window. Another nurse came back in wheeling a trolley in with her. It had medical tools. "I'm sorry but I need to do a full body examination"

I nodded. "What's your name?"

"Saraiya" She lifted up the hospital gown very gently and pushed down on my stomach very gently. "You have some serious bruising around here" she pressed in my ribs.

I gasped "ow"

"Sorry you have a broken rib there's nothing I can do apart from strap you up and we let it heal on it's on" Saraiya said.

I nodded as she stitched up my other side where I had been caught with the knife. I had literally forgotten about it.

"This is a sensitive case with what you have been through" she said "I'm sorry but I need to examine you between your legs"

I nodded and spread my legs.

She ran a cotton bud around my bottom and then left me for a moment. She came back with a bedpan "I need you to pee in there just to check that everything else is normal"

I nodded slowly. I did what she asked, even though I was slightly horrified that they can check that everything is working by just testing it for something.

She took it away for tests.

I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes. I kept seeing that moment when Jack was knocked out.

"Kim"

I opened my eyes. "Milton, how he is?"

"He's awake and desperate to see you" he said "but the doctors need to check him over to make sure he's okay"

I nodded, my stomach grumbled.

Milton laughed "I'll go find the nurse and see if you are allowed to eat something"

Milton left the room.

Milton

I stopped by to check on Jack. He was busy fighting of the nurses who were trying to take a blood sample.

"It's not like you to be fighting attention" I told Jack.

He shook his head. "No I want to see Kim now"

"She's having tests done too" I told him "She wants to see you too but you both need to be checked for injuries"

Jack laughed "Have you been watching Casualty marathons again?"

I rolled my eyes "I just want to be a good doctor when I am older that's all besides you and Kim…"

"….have been through a traumatic experience" Jack finished off almost sounding bored as he spoke about it. "I know Milton but she had it worse than me. And I don't think she'll ever truly talk about it"

Jack flinched as the nurse took his blood. "Ow!"

The nurse smiled "I'm all done"

The nurse left and in came Sam. "Are you ready for some questions?"

Jack nodded slowly "I only know part of it, only Kim knows all of it and I don't think she'll ever want to talk about it"

Sam nodded. "Just tell me what you know then"

Jack nodded and closed his eyes. "I went to the warehouse. I searched for her in the warehouse and eventually found her in the last room. It was a dungeon or some sort of torture room, chains hanging from the ceiling. Kim was…." Jack took a drink of water "she was there slumped against the wall. She looked skinny, tired, she was naked and there were scratches and scrapes and bruises all over her body. One arm was handcuffed to the wall just above her head. She was unconscious."

Sam nodded "you're doing really well"

Jack nodded. "Kim woke up and she looked terrified she said 'no don't' I asked her why she said he'll hurt you. There was a bang, Kim told me to hide but there was nowhere I turned round and he was there. He grabbed my around the neck and told me I didn't know what was going on, that's when he head butted me"

Sam smiled "this is really good Jack"

"I felt weak after he head butted me, he came in, Kim was screaming and it seemed like hours until she stopped, she was panting, almost breathless. I think he raped her, he's been raping her, abusing her for weeks." Jack was crying "I should have done something sooner"

"This was not your fault" I said hugging him "she's safe now you're both safe. Why don't you come to see Kim with me I think you could both use each other's company"

We went back to Kim's cubicle, stopping off in café to grab some cakes for Kim, and we got a surprise.

Kim wasn't there.
