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