Chapter Eight

Seeing an ambulance pulling up, I mentally thanked Lee, knowing he was the one who

had notified them. One of the paramedics came running over to me, he tried taking Sheena from me, but I couldn’t let her go. I didn’t want anyone touching her, I felt a hand squeezing my shoulder, and I spun round only to see Lee standing there. The sad expression on his face made me breakdown. “Damon please, they need to help her” Lee pleaded, while looking down at Sheena’s limp body.

Taking a glimpse at the paramedic, and then back at Lee I nodded my head. I placed her body gently onto the gurney, where the paramedics went straight to work, I watched as they shoved needles into her, and placed a breathing mask over her mouth. I heard a high pitched scream and Cherelle running over towards us. I heard Lee saying “I thought I told you to stay in the car”. But she totally ignored him and ran straight over to Sheena. Then she turned to face me. ”What happened? What have they done to her?” she asked, while hitting me on my chest in between sobs. I could hear her, but my body and brain just wouldn’t respond. As I continued to stare at Sheena’s lifeless body and the paramedics. I felt dizzy as I watched everything that was going on in slow motion, as I welcomed the blackness.

Waking up to a loud beeping sound I jumped up startled. “Where is she” I scream out in panic. But no one was here, realising I was in hospital, I ripped the needle out of my arm and went looking for Sheena. As I was running down the corridor towards the nurse’s station I bumped into someone, I shouted sorry over my shoulder as I continued to run.  But whoever I bumped into grabbed hold of my arm, stopping me from running. “Let go of me now” I shouted, as I tried to break free from the deadly grip I was held in. “Damon,” that stopped me as the tears released.

I looked up to meet Lee’s stare, he was looking at me with so much worry. ”where is she?” I asked standing there nervously. “Come on I’ll take you” he said as he walked off with me following. We were now standing outside the intensive care unit, where I could see Cherelle asleep on a chair. The palms of my hands were sweaty and my heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to leap out of my chest. “Damon, are you alright?” Lee asked, “I will be as soon as I see Sheena” I replied in a whispered, but I knew he heard me, as he started to lead me towards her room. As we arrived outside her door I hovered my hand just above the handle, as I started feeling scared and nervous at the thought seeing her. I didn’t know what to expect when I opened the door, as no one had told me how bad she was. As I couldn’t remember much from when I found her only her beautiful face, However, I knew she was alive and right now and that is all that mattered to me!  As everything else we will take a step at a time. I thought to myself.

 After finally building up enough courage I began turning the handle but before pushing it opened Lee stopped me. “Do you want me to come in with you” he asked concerned. I thought about it before I answered him. “I will be ok, but thanks Lee” I replied before pushing the door opened.

My heart broke as I seen her lying there with heart monitors and other machines all wired up to her. Sitting on the edge of the bed I stroked the few stray hairs behind her ears, before placing a kiss on her forehead. I took hold of her hand in mine,”Sheena I am so sorry I didn’t get to you in time, I am so sorry I left you in the train station. I’m so sorry” I said as the tears started to stream down my face. I don’t know how long I sat there, holding her hand and just looking at her. I had so many different emotions running through me right now, but there was only one that really stood out to me, and that was my feelings for her.  

The doctor walked in starling me, “Hello you must be Damon, I am Sheena’s doctor, Dr Long” he introduced himself ,with a caring gentle voice ,while holding his hand out to me, I shook his hand with my other hand as I did not want to leave go of Sheena’s. “Can you tell me how bad her injury’s are please” I asked so nervously my voice was breaking, I felt another tear escape and rolling down my cheek, wiping it with my sleeve I looked up at the doctor. He looked at me nervously before speaking “ well I think it would be best if you take a seat first” he said as he brought a chair over to me, I thanked him and sat down but without letting go of her hand. At this moment her hand was the only comfort I could offer her and I was not going to leave go until she wakes up, I thought to myself.

“Ok before I tell you everything, you must remain calm, because what I am going to tell you, you are not going to like,” he told me sternly. However, the sadness and anger he was trying to hold in, I could see it clearly written across his face. “I promise” I replied as I thought of the worst.

 “Well she has to broken ankles, which we have already operated on, but we still are not sure how well she will recover, “he stopped then so I could take in what he had said so far. I nodded my head for him to continue. “Also, she has multiple cuts and grazes but all will heal perfectly in time.” I could see he was holding something back and although my heart was telling me I didn’t want to no, my mind was telling me I do.” Please tell me?”  I pleaded crying, not caring what I looked like, I just needed to no the truth now. “She has been sexually assaulted” I could hear someone screaming as it echoed around the room. Feeling a hard slap go right across my face, feeling shocked and numb, I looked for who had hit me; I noticed the screaming had stopped. The doctor gave me a symphethtic look before apologizing for slapping me.

My body began shaking with temper as I clenched my fists , realising I still had hold of Sheena’s hand I eased my clenched hand and  brought it up to my lips kissing it repeatedly, feeling guilty for hurting her. Seeing the doctor looking at me with concern, I had to ask him, even though I was dreading the answer. “How far did they go?” I asked in a whisper. He looked at me with sad eyes, right at that moment I regretted asking. “Well let’s just say they must have been interrupted as her virginity barrier is still intact, however we have found sperm on her clothing and over other parts of her body”. I looked at the angel like figure, just lying there lifeless on the bed.

I leaned my head gently against her chest. Taking in a deep breath and smelling her sweet scent which seemed to calm me a little. “Angel, I will find who did this to you and make sure they will pay for it!” I promised her as I continued to breathe her in. I heard the doctor leaving the room but didn’t say anything, as I just wanted to stay where I was and try to calm myself down a bit. Because right now if Sheena was awake I would be out there hunting whoever done this to her down.

I must have fallen asleep for a while, as I woke up to Cherelle shaking me to wake me up. “We are going to go home for a while are you coming?” she asked, looking exhausted. “No I am going to stay here, but could you bring me a change of clothes back with you please” I asked, as I still had my clothes on from yesterday. “yes I will bring them with me in the morning, as I  have to work as I cant get anyone to cover my shift, Although  I have managed to swap with a nurse from here, so at least I  will be here  caring for Sheena” she said with a small smile. I gave her a small smile back and thanked her. Lee then came over beside me and patted me on the back. “We will find who did this Damon I promise” he said. “Thanks Lee, can you call in work and tell them I am taking a week’s holiday please?”” yeah I will sort something out don’t worry” then they left. As I sat there just looking at Sheena, everything from the minute I met her flashed through my head, as well as everything that Cherelle had told us. I hated thinking of how much she had been through and as I was thinking I could feel a tugging at my heart. That was the moment that I realised the feelings I had for her was not just liking, or sympathy, it was something stronger. I was falling in love with her.
