This came to me in meditation. I was thinking of A Darkened Mind. But then this came into my mind...
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
Sam opened her eyes and instantly felt the soreness in her body. She groaned as she was nearly blinded by the white lights. She closed her eyes and took in the sounds of the beeping. She tried to remember where she was and why she was there. All she could remember was...Sam shook slightly as she remembered. She couldn't believe what had happened.
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
"Say you want this…"
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
Sam tried to sit up, but she was too tired. Too weak. Sam hated being weak. She always prided herself on being strong. Sam did not need anyone. She was her friends' defender. No one needed to take care of her. She could do that for herself. She opened her eyes and saw that she was in a hospital room. She was in a white gown with dark blue spots. She glanced over to her arm and saw that it was dark and bruised. She was hooked up to a heart monitor. She looked over to the other arm and saw that it was bruised as well. There was also a cast around the wrist.
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
"Tough girl, huh?"
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
Sam then heard the door open. A nurse came into the room. She was a young woman with a round face and brown hair. The hair was in a limp ponytail that went down to her neck. Her eyes were silver, like the color of the metal. She was of sturdy build. Not weak looking at all. The nurse went over to the bed, "Sam, how are you feeling?" She had a kind smile about her. Now that Sam got a closer look, she saw that she had a motherly look about her.
"I'm fine" Sam croaked. Her throat was tight. She glanced at the nurse and asked, "How long have I been out?" She remembered…after…But then it was all a mystery.
"I do not know. The nice boy that brought you here said that you found you unconscious. That was four hours ago. No one knows how long you have been out," The nurse said. She then asked, "What is the last thing you remember?"
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
"Never tell anyone."
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
Sam said nothing as she looked to the white wall.
The nurse sighed and said, "…We did a rape kit. So we know."
Sam turned back to the nurse as memories flooded her mind. She then asked, not wanting to talk about it, "Who brought me in?" There was only a few people that would care enough to take her to the hospital. Virtually none were considered "boys".
"Your friend. Freddie Benson was his name," The nurse said. She then smiled, "He barely left your side for two hours. He kept looking over you. Holding your hand. It wasn't until his mother came and dragged him out that he left."
Sam could vaguely remember the feel of a hand on hers earlier.
"…Sam, do you know what did this to you?" The nurse asked after a few minutes. Her silver eyes showed geniune concern. Sam was not used to have people being concerned about her. It was a foreign and alien concept. Sam then remembered that she had asked her a question.
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
"Hey, how was detention?"
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
Sam said nothing once more.
The nurse sighed as she said, "Well…You have a broken wrist, a nasty black eye, and a split lip. We have not found any other injuries. Is there anyone we need to call?"
Sam shook her head.
"Family? Friends?"
Sam began to think of her best friend, "Carly Shay. Her number is in my cell phone. It's in my jacket."
She hoped that she still had her jacket.
Beep...
Beep....
Beep....
"I want to see you...I want to see all of you..."
Beep...
Beep...
Beep...
The nurse nodded as she left the hospital room.
Sam closed her eyes and tried to take everything in. She remembered what had happened. She remembered every single detail. Her eyes opened once more. She didn't want to remember. She did not want to see his face. Sam looked down at her gown and she felt naked. She wondered why. She felt like everyone could see her. Sam knew that she could be a little paranoid, but this was different. Sam then closed her eyes once more, wanting to go back to the restful sleep.

"You'll be my first, too…"
