Ronnie was sitting on the hospital cama 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 dicho for the umpteenth time.
“Yeah, I got that from the first zillion times” Ronnie dicho 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 tu leave us alone for a second?” he asked.
“Yeah, sure” Tyler said, wondering why though. “I’ll just wait outside, okay?”
“Maybe tu can go back to the Grill, where tu dicho you’d go as soon as I got here?” Ronnie dicho a little nervous. If only one dollar was missing…
“Hey, tu can’t blame me for wanting to make sure you’re okay” Tyler replied.
“You’re a sweetie” Ronnie dicho sarcastic. “Now off tu go”
“Yes, ma’am” Tyler dicho and he left the room.
The doctor turned back at Ronnie. “I take it he’s the reason you’re injured?”
“Yeah” Ronnie dicho careless.
“You know I have to reportar it when patients are being violated, whether it be por their boyfriend, their father o a stranger” the doctor continued. Ronnie turned around quickly.
“No! tu can’t reportar Tyler! It was totally my fault! I forced myself on him!” she dicho desperate. “If anything I violated him”
The doctor raised his hands. “Okay, then I won’t” he said. “But I hope tu come to your senses. There are too many jerks like that walking around free, because women like tu are too afraid to stand up to them”
“Tyler is not a jerk” Ronnie dicho getting angry. “And I am not afraid” she added soft.
