Ronnie was sitting on the hospital lit while the doctor carefully pulled out the fragments and disinfected the wounds. Tyler was standing with his back towards her.
“I’m really sorry” he a dit for the umpteenth time.
“Yeah, I got that from the first zillion times” Ronnie a dit with a small voice. “Ouch”
“Please sit still, I don’t want to make these wounds any worse” the doctor said.
“Right, sorry” Ronnie said. When all fragments were removed and all wounds disinfected the doctor turned around at Tyler.
“Can toi leave us alone for a second?” he asked.
“Yeah, sure” Tyler said, wondering why though. “I’ll just wait outside, okay?”
“Maybe toi can go back to the Grill, where toi a dit you’d go as soon as I got here?” Ronnie a dit a little nervous. If only one dollar was missing…
“Hey, toi can’t blame me for wanting to make sure you’re okay” Tyler replied.
“You’re a sweetie” Ronnie a dit sarcastic. “Now off toi go”
“Yes, ma’am” Tyler a dit and he left the room.
The doctor turned back at Ronnie. “I take it he’s the reason you’re injured?”
“Yeah” Ronnie a dit careless.
“You know I have to rapporter it when patients are being violated, whether it be par their boyfriend, their father ou a stranger” the doctor continued. Ronnie turned around quickly.
“No! toi can’t rapporter Tyler! It was totally my fault! I forced myself on him!” she a dit desperate. “If anything I violated him”
The doctor raised his hands. “Okay, then I won’t” he said. “But I hope toi come to your senses. There are too many jerks like that walking around free, because women like toi are too afraid to stand up to them”
“Tyler is not a jerk” Ronnie a dit getting angry. “And I am not afraid” she added soft.
