Marlena woke up a few moments later to see a police man standing over her giving her oxygen. �Miss are you okay? You are bleeding.� The police man said.
Marlena pulled herself up and felt pain in her lower body. She was bleeding from the rape. A man from the ambulance came over. �What happened?� He asked her while examining her body. �I�I was raped.� Marlena said and then once again collapsed.
Marlena woke up this time in a hospital bed. It was a white room and at the time she woke up no one was in there. She was exhausted and moved herself up slowly, sitting on the bed. After Marlena looked around the room for a bit a doctor walked in. �How are we doing?� She asked. She was a young doctor with blond hair straight hair and glasses. �What happened?� Marlena asked. �You fainted in the middle of the street after you told a police officer you were raped.� She responded. �Ohhhh� She said in agony holding her forehead. �Marlena,� the nurse said walking closer to her �the police are going to have to come in when you feel up to it and question you about the rape.� �I don�t really want to answer questions right now.� Marlena responded. �I understand but when your ready let me know.� The nurse replied �Okay, thanks.� Marlena said. �Oh, there�s a man to see you, you didn�t have any identification on him and so we called the number on your hand.� The nurse told her. �John?� she asked. �Yes, would you like him to come in?� She asked. �Yes, please.� Marlena replied.
The nurse walked out and a minute later John walked in with a bouquet of lilies. �These are for you Marlena.� John told her while handing her the flowers. �Oh, John really you didn�t have to.� Marlena told him. �I know but I thought maybe it would make you feel better.� John told her. �Oh well then thanks.� Marlena told him while he put the lilies next to her hospital bed. �Marlena what happened? The nurse won�t tell me since I�m not family.� John asked. �He did it again John, he raped me again.� Marlena said while looking out the window. �What, when?� John asked her. �About an hour after you left this morning.� Marlena replied. �Oh, Marlena.� John said while walking over and sitting on Marlena�s bed. �Well, there�s more John.� She told him. �What do you mean more?� John asked raising an eyebrow. �Did you hear about the man who got hit by a car?� Marlena asked him. �Yah, it was on the news earlier, he died earlier this night.� John told her. �It was him John, it was him.� She told him. �That was him.� John asked her.
She shook her head as John toke her in his arms as she began to cry again. The nurse once again walked in. �Marlena, the police are here to question you now if you are up to it.� The nurse told her. �I am, bring them in.� Marlena told her as she walked out to get them. �Marlena are you sure, you�ve been through a lot you need your rest.� He asked her. �Yes, John I have to do this.� Marlena told him. �Do you want me to stay?� John asked her. �No, that�s okay I can do this.� She replied. �Okay, I will be in the lobby if you need me.� He said while giving her a wink.
He walked out the door as the 2 police men walked in. �Miss Evans, we have a few questions for you.� One of the police men asked.
They questioned Marlena for a good 20 minutes as she told them all about the rape the night before and him raping her in the morning. After it was all over John walked back in. �How did it go?� He asked her. �It wasn�t as bad as I thought it would be.� Marlena told him. �Well, that�s good.� John replied grabbing a seat and pulling it up next to Marlena. �It�s just that, you know, the man died John, so he can�t even go to jail or anything.� Marlena told him �I know Marlena but at least he is out of your life forever now.� John told her. �Yes that�s true, I just wish it didn�t happen at all you know.� Marlena told him. �Marlena, listen to me okay, I told you before, I�m here for you whenever you need me, and I am only a phone call or a visit away.� John told her. �John I��Marlena began to say but John stopped her. �Wait Marlena, let me finish, I want to talk to you about last night. I chose to stay with you because you were in a lot of emotional pain and I know you might think that was my only reason for staying but it wasn�t. Marlena, I really care for you, and being your friend is really important to me.� John told her. �Why John thank you, that means a lot to me.� She told him.
John reached and held Marlena�s hand and kissed it. �You are the most important thing in my life right now, thank you for just being in my life.� John told her as he smiled. �John?� Marlena said. �Yes?� John asked. �What about Cindy, I mean isn�t she important to you?� Marlena asked. �Marlena, I�I�m going to break up with Cindy.� John told her as Marlena looked at him with confusion. �Why?� Marlena asked him. �It�s not working out, I am not committed enough to the relationship and well other reasons too.� John replied. �What other reasons?� Marlena asked. �Well�� John began to say but the nurse walked in. �John its end of visiting hours, I need to ask you to leave so Marlena can get some sleep.� The nurse told him. �Okay,� John said then turned towards Marlena �Remember if you need anything, I�m here for you.�
John walked out as the nurse came over and checked over Marlena�s reports. She then left Marlena and shut off the light as Marlena closed her eyes and went to sleep.
