Picking up the Pieces

Frank pulled up a chair next to the hospital bed and held my hand. I felt a needle go into my arm and push a fluid into me that put me into a deep sleep. I remember being asleep for 2 hours. “Yeah, she’s here-“ “I don’t know man, I just cut her-“ “I think I raped her, dude-“ “I couldn’t help it” Were just some of the blurbs I heard while half-awake. Frank started crying and was no longer holding my hand. “She’s just so beautiful.” Frank was talking to someone, I heard another voice. “Frank, you can’t do shit like this, you hurt her really badly.” It was clearly a male’s voice. Frank yelled back with rage, “No shit, Gerard. I know that, fucktard!” Gerard! He was here? In this room!? What does he think of me? I hope I look pretty! Frank’s crying got more intense. “What was I supposed to do?!” he screamed out. “Oh, I don’t know, how about you don’t fucking rape innocent girls, dipshit?!’ gerard said, with a disgust. “Calm down, you two!” said someone else from across the room “she’s going to be okay.” Who was that? I know that Frank and Gerard were in the room, but who was the other person? In that moment, someone else opened the door. “Frank, I got your call! What’s going on?” said someone else. “Oh just same old, same old. New curtains, new shoes, getting drunk, slicing up and fucking teenagers against their will. Just the normal rountine.” “Oh Fuck off, Gerard!” said a distressed Frank. I had had enough of this. “Frank, look at her!” said Gerard. Ok, that was it. Time to wake up! “Holy Shit, is she okay?” another voice said from across the room. ‘’We don’t know.” Someone else said. “Frank, she’s hooked up to a fucking heart monitor! Do you honestly think she’s okay?!”

Gerard walked up to me and kissed my cheek, just like in the dream.


I could feel myself blushing and I heard the heart monitor fluxuating and Frank screaming. “Sadie, no!” his whimpers turned to sobs of agony. I turned over once in the bed just because I could and received four gasps, all from the same direction. Now was the time, I slowly arose from the sheets, “Frank?” I opened my eyes to see Frank crying in the corner of the hospital room. ‘’Sadie!” he screamed with joy. He ran out of the corner with a smile on his face and gleefully jumped on the hospital bed. He squeezed my waist a little too tight and plunged his tongue deep into my throat. He started moaning and kissing me. “Frank, what the fuck are you doing to her?!” I heard someone say. It wasn’t long until the 3 men pulled him off of me. A man I had never seen before slapped him hard across the face. “Take him home!” Gerard said. “No!” Frank said, as he went crashing down to the tiled floor. The 2 men picked him up by his arms and carried him out of the room. Then Gerard, the only other person in the room shut the door completely and turned to me.
