The knock on the door was soft.
“Who’s there?” Blue asked.
Klyee opened the door and walked in. She was dressed in a black knee length skirt that had a slit at the side and a pale pink chiffon blouse.
“We’re going to the hospital, get dressed” she said authoritatively.
Blue climbed down from the bed and walked to the mirror. She didn’t have any bruises, I on the other hand was beaten up.
My lip had a cut at the side, my face had blotches of blue black marks. My temple had a cut and it was swelling, if not for the doctor that came yesterday, I would have been swelling in different parts of my body.
I quickly left the mirror, ashamed of the girl staring back at me but proud too. I had fought that mad man with all the strength in me and I won.
Blue and I swallowed together and we get dressed. I was wearing black shorts and an oversized t-shirt with sneakers and Blue was wearing a sundress, she looked different, more peaceful and calm.
A good different.
“Let’s get going ‘ Klyee said holding the door open.
“Where uncle C?’ Blue asked Kylee.
“He went out”
“Where?’ I asked and she just shrugged.
“He didn’t tell me”
“But you have his schedule arrangements, right?’ I felt I was being pushy.
“I do but he asked me to cancel every meeting and clear his schedule. Meaning that tomorrow would a very busy day” Kylee said bemused.
“Get in” Kylee said opening the doors of the car.
“We were already getting in” Blue retorted and rolled her eyes at Kylee who didn’t seem to mind when she said.
I sat in the passenger seat while Blue sat at the back.
“What about Ryan, where is he?” I asked.
“He took that girl to the hospital yesterday. He is not back yet”
The ride to the hospital was quiet. The pain killers the doctor had given me yesterday was staring to wear off and die down, now I was really feeling bolts of real pain, my entire head was aching.
Like a mother hen, Kylee let me and Blue to a certain doctor. He took me for examining and when he was done, he pursed his lips, pulled a chair from the side and sat in front of me.
“You’re being beaten” he simply said.
“No, sir” I said feeling heat crawl up to my cheeks .
“Your bruises tell me otherwise” the man said grimly, his lips was set in a hard line as if he was angry at me.
“No. I was attacked yesterday” I said.
“You have a boyfriend?” He asked with a raised brow.
Of course he would ask that, I saw him staring unapprovingly at a hickey on my belly.
“Yes” I said and I swallowed when my mouth was dry.
He breathed in and out as if he was doing yoga breath work.
“Miss, we see this all the time. I… See this kinds cases, a male lover beats the female up and then she comes in and cover up for him. She says I was attacked or I was in accident… Girlfriends beat up Boyfriends, I’m not going to say it doesn’t happen because it does..”
I felt very embarrassed by the topic.
“Sir, I’m telling the truth, I was attacked, my boyfriend would never hurt me” I said cutting him off.
He nodded and went in search for a pen and paper.
“There are no cuts and I’ve checked for internal bleedings, just take some meds and your body will do the rest” the doctor said dismissively as if he was eager to get me out of his sight.
He took a pen and scribbled something illegibly on piece of paper.
I went back to where Kylee and Blue were waiting.
“Are you okay, you look flustered ” Blue said.
I shook my head.
“The doctor thought I am being beaten by my boyfriend ”
Kylee and Blue laughed.
“On the other hand, Christian did make mention of spanking you. He says if you do anything as careless as that again, he’ll put you across his knee” Blue said.
I felt my cheeks heat up with embarrassment.
“Give me that” Kylee said taking the piece of paper from my hand.
“I’ll take this to the pharmacy and buy the medicine” Kylee said.
“I want to come with you, I need to ask them if they have a certain drug” Blue said seriously.
“You might not get it if you don’t have a prescription”
“I’ll just try” Blue Said stubbornly.
I watched them walked off and I sat down in one of the soft leather chairs.
I closed my eyes and sagged against the back rest.
“Sorry, are you Jenna”
My eyes shot up at the mention of my name and the closeness of the voice.
It was a woman with Auburn hair.
“It’s you” she said with a full smile.
I was reeling on the inside, a lot of things were going on in my mind, I wondered if this was one of Christian’s ex’s.
“Can I have a seat?” She asked pointing to the chair beside mine.
“No” I said firmly.
She sat down anyways.
“Who are you?’ I asked her.
I did a great job at hiding the fear from my voice, I didn’t want to be embarrassed again. The woman was beautiful but in a conservation way. She didn’t look elegant or majestic… Like Christian’s former subs, all of them looked like sirens. This one had the normal beauty, she was not Christian’s type.
Or maybe she was just faking the look, how did she find me?
“I’m Tina” she said stretching her hand out.
I nodded once failing to take her hand.
She smiled awkwardly.
“I have some questions for you Jenna, I hope you can shed light on something” she said with a small frown.
“Okay…”
“What relationship do you have with your step uncle ‘ she asked quickly.
The question took me off guard.
She searched my face, her eyes were like typewriters, moving back and forth swiftly taking note of every emotion that showed on my face.
I breathed in and out, trying to steady my madly beating heart.
“What?” I asked her.
She pulled out a picture.
It was that picture, when the spotlight had some down on me and Christian had kissed me on the cheek.
I sucked in air and my lungs felt sore.
“He’s my step uncle , Tina” I said firmly.
“This looks very intimate, don’t you think?’ she asked with a smile, as if she was getting what she needed from me.
It made me feel like I was loosing and letting too much out.
“Jenna ‘ the familiar voice called and I let out the breath I had been holding.
