Telling Ramin
My hands are shaking so bad. I dial Ramin's number and wait for him to pick up.
"Hello." He says sleepily
"Hi Ramin....."
"Sie? Why are you calling me at 3 in the morning? I still have jet leg."
"You're back in New York!?"
''Yes. I got back around 5 this evening. Why are you calling me at 3 in the morning?"
"I.....ummm.....I'm in the hospital...." I mumble and I hear him fall onto the floor.
"What!?!? I'm coming Sie. Which hospital?"
"The one that's close to Summer's."
"Mercy. I'll be there soon." He tells be before hanging up. I set Summer's phone back down and wait. He's not going to like my explanation at all. Summer isn't either. About 30 minutes later Ramin comes into my room. Summer was still asleep on my shoulder.
"What happened?" He asks looking at my bandaged arms. I gulp.
"Summer....wake up....you wanted an explanation....I'm getting ready to give it..." I tell her waking her up. Summer gets back into her chair and waits. Ramin sits beside me in the bed. I start shaking, I'm so scared to tell anyone. Tam said if I did he would kill me.
"T-Tam......" is all I get out before bursting into tears. Ramin hugs me gently as I clung to his shirt.
"Tam what Sie?" Ramin asks
"Tam beats her Ramin. I've seen the bruises." Summer tells him. I freeze. I feel Ramin's body go ridged. I start trying to get away from him.
"No! No! Not again....not again....get away! Get away!" I cry pushing on Ramin. Ramin holds my hands in his.
"No! Get off me! Please! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!" I sob.
"What makes you think that I will hurt you Sie?" Ramin asks looking in my eyes.
"Ramin, you need to let go of her. She's having a panic attack." Summer tells him and he automatically let's go and backs away. I curl up in a ball and cry more. I hear Ramin calling my name as I black out. I can't believe Summer knew.
I wake to Ramin talking to a police officer. He's whispering something, I can't tell.
"Ramin......." I mumble and he looks at me.
"Sie. You're awake. This is Detective Rizzoli. She's not normally on abuse cases but she owed me a favor. I wouldn't trust anybody else on this." Ramin tells me. I wave slightly at her and she waves back.
"Now Ms. Boggess. I nee...."
"Please just call me Sierra. Ms. Boggess is my mother." I interrupt.
"Alright Sierra, I need to know what happened 2 nights ago."
I gulp.
"Tam....my fiancé, well he's not anymore. He came home drunk as usual. He told me to get him another whiskey. So I did, not wanting to get hurt. I was coming back and I tripped on the elevation in my apartment and I dropped the bottle. He got angry because I dropped his precious whiskey. I started apologizing and he threw me to the floor and onto the broken whiskey bottle. He screamed for me to mop it up. I did. Once I was done he said it was time for my real punishment. I didn't even wait, I took off out the door and 30 blocks to my sisters." I explain. Ramin looks like he's going to cry.
"That's.....a good start. We'll need more about other times. You can call me Jane. Here's my cell number, call me at anytime." She tells me before walking out. I wait for Ramin to say something.
"Sie......... I'm so sorry......"
"It's alright, not your fault. I guess I just wasn't being a good fiancé...." I reply looking down.
"Is that what he told you?" Ramin asks. I nod.
"He's wrong. You're perfect the way you are."
I smile and look at him.
"I'm going to try and get some sleep. Goodbye Ramin." I say turning the light off.
"Goodnight Sie....." He says before leaving. I fall asleep quickly.
