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