Chapter Three

The Horrors of a Dream

Kevin hadn’t left his wife’s side for two whole days. He was sick to stomach and his heart was broken in two at the thought of everything she had endured. He blamed himself even though logically it made no sense.

Lucy had barely spoken to anyone yet she seemed to be off in another world. She’d answered yes or no questions but otherwise she was silent. He had tried to get her to talk to him with no luck. She seemed content on keeping everything bottled up.

“Luce?” Kevin said placing his hand on hers, “I’m here.”

“I know.” She said turning away from him, “Can you just leave? Can you just give me sometime alone?”

“Ok.” Kevin said feeling his heart break. That had been the most she had said to him since all of this had happened.

“I just need a little time alone.” Lucy said still with her back facing him,

“Ok…um…I’ll go get some coffee, but I’ll be back.” he said, walking out into the hall Kevin Ran his fingers through his hair and let himself cry for the first time since this had happened. He just didn’t know what to do to make it better.

Once alone Lucy let a single tear slip down her cheek, she wanted to get out of the hospital. She wanted to take a shower. She felt like her skin was raw and naked. She felt dirty. She wanted to scrub it all away. Every last bit of evidence of him. She wished she was like a snake. She wished she could get rid of her old skin. She wished she could get brand new skin. Skin untouched. Skin that didn’t feel so damaged. She began to scratch at the bracelet on her wrist that said Glen Oak hospital and her name, Lucy Kinkirk. She didn’t want to be Lucy Kinkirk. She wanted to be someone else. Anyone else. Anyone but Lucy!

Annie stood in the hallway looking at her sons and her only granddaughter, Savannah. Her heart was ripping in two at the thought of her baby daughter Lucy, the mother of the beautiful little girl playing before her. She could see so much of Lucy in her. In the way she smiled and in the way she laughed. Savannah was defiantly her mother’s daughter.

“What’s rape mean?” David said shocking her and breaking her heart even more.
”Where did you hear that?” Annie asked biting back tears.

“At school,” Sam said, “Bobby Havers said his mother said Lucy was raped but he didn’t know what it meant.”

“I’ll be right back.” Annie said closing the doors and heading down the hall to her bedroom. She shut the door behind her and fell to the floor. Her heart couldn’t take anymore. A mother’s worst fear was the thought or knowledge of her child in pain or suffering and Lucy was defiantly suffering.

Matt Camden had caught a flight as soon as he heard that something was wrong. Upon landing he’d learned from his father that his baby sister had been….had been…raped. He didn’t know how to react or what to do. The first thoughts in his head had been that he needed to see her. He needed to see Lucy. So he borrowed his father’s car and headed straight to the hospital. Opening the door of room two eighty two he found his sister asleep but she looked like she was caught in the middle of a nightmare.

“Lucy?” Matt Said coming to stand beside her.

“Lucy?” Matt repeated causing her eyes to open. They were filled with terror and fright. She seemed to be still caught in her dream for she screamed, “No, no, no.”

“Lucy?” Matt said again touching her hand.

“No, no, no, no, PLEASE!?” She screamed now thrashing about and fighting him with all the strength she had.

“Lucy?” Matt said again feeling tears fill in his eyes.

“No please don’t hurt me.” She screamed tears falling down her cheeks frantically, “Please!”

“Lucy, its Matt!” he said grabbing her wrist to keep her from hurting herself, “It’s me. It’s Matt.”

“Matt?” Lucy said coming out of the dream and back into to reality.

“Yeah Luce.” Matt said pulling her into his arms he held his baby sister while she cried and felt his heart break. The horror he’d seen in her eyes was something he was afraid he would never forget.
