Luke had been drinking for a couple of hours when Bron came out of the bathroom.

“I think you’ve had enough to drink” Bron said walking back from the bathroom.

“No I haven’t” Luke said taking a swig of beer, to prove Bron wrong.

“I think you should come to be now,” Bron said walking over.

“WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW?” Luke yelled at her, swinging his bottle, smacking her in the face. Bron fell backwards onto the floor; she quickly scrambled off the floor and into the bedroom. 15 minutes later Luke walked in and lay down beside her. He grabbed her and started kissing her.

“Luke stop it: Bron said pushing him off.

“Oh so it’s ok when you want to but not when I want to” He said grabbing her, pinning her down on the bed. He started kissing her and removing her clothes. Bron knew what happened next was wrong but she couldn’t do anything to prevent it. After it only took a few minutes for Luke to fall asleep. Bron stood up, weak and in pain. Her butt hurt like hell, but she knew she had to get away before he woke up. She got dressed, gingerly pulling on a pair of loose track pants. She grabbed her keys and walked to her car. She was going to Charlotte’s.

10 minutes later Bron stood on Charlotte’s doorstep waiting for Charlotte to answer.

“Hello Hun” Charlotte said seeing Bron. Charlotte also noticed Bron was rather withdrawn.

“What’s the matter?”

“I’ve been…r…raped” Bron said, before bursting into tears. Charlotte pulled her into a hug. As soon as Charlotte touched Bron she flinched pretty bad. Charlotte immediately let go.

“Are you hurt?” Charlotte asked

“Um my face is sore” Bron said revealing her bruised cheek.

“And my bum really hurts” breaking down again, Bron just collapsed. She sunk slowly to the floor. Charlotte immediately rushed to her side.

“Ssshhh, it’s going to be ok, do you want me to call Ben?” Charlotte asked

“Yes” Bron said, still sitting there, tears streaking down her face. Charlotte got up and rang Ben.

“Hello this is Ben” Ben said when he picked up the phone.

“Hey Ben it’s Charlotte. I think you should get over here, it’s Bron” Charlotte said

“What’s the matter?” Ben asked worried

“Just get over here,” Charlotte said

“And hurry” before she hung up the phone and walked back to Bron

“I called him and he is on his way”

“Thanks” Bron said, still staring at the floor

“Can I get you anything?” Charlotte asked

“No” Bron said

Minutes later the doorbell rang and Ben walked in. Seeing Bron on the floor he rushed to her side. But when he touched her she flinched pretty bad so he withdrew his hand.

“What happened?” Ben asked

“Well she was with Luke and then she came over here crying and she told me she had been raped, and she also had this bruise on her cheek but I’m not really sure what happened” Charlotte said glancing at Bron

“Don’t worry, I’ll talk to her” Ben said, before going back to where Bron was

“Bron honey, are you listening?” Ben asked kneeling beside her.

“Yes” Bron said

“Can you tell me what happened?” Ben asked

“Um…” Bron said, slowly looking up and into Ben’s eyes. One look in Ben’s eyes and Bron knew her would never hurt her; she could see the trust in his eyes.

“Would you like to come and sit on the couch?” Ben asked extending his hand to help Bron up. Bron took it thankfully and when she was standing on her feet, she suddenly felt very weak. Ben saw her knees start to shake so he carefully held her waist as she walked over to the couch and sat down.

Charlotte bought her a blanket, which she thankfully accepted and wrapped it round her waist.

“Can you tell me now?” Ben asked coming to sit down next to her. Charlotte sat on the couch opposite.

“Um… Well I was at Luke’s and he had been having a couple of beers and I told him that I though he should got to bed and stop drinking, then he hit me in the face with his beer bottle.” Bron said careful not to stare anyone in the eye. Ben carefully pushed her hair behind her ear and touched the bruise. Bron flinched in pain.

“Charlotte can you get some ice please” Ben asked

“The I went back to bed and he came in and…and…” Bron couldn’t go on, tears leaked out of her eyes and down her face. Charlotte returned with the ice and Ben gently held it against Bron’s bruised cheek.

“It will be ok honey,” Ben said. Bron leant in Ben’s chest, but when she moved her bum she was reminded of the pain.

“Oooowwww” Bron cried

“What is it?” Ben asked

“My bum, it’s really sore.”

“Charlotte can you get Bron some painkillers” Ben said, before he got up and lay Bron down on the couch. Charlotte handed the painkillers to Ben and Ben made Bron swallow them. After that, Ben walked off to the bathroom,

There was a knock at the door but before anyone could open it Luke stormed in looking for Bron. When he saw her he walked over and punched her in the face.

“Aaahhh” Bron cried as he punched her already bruised cheek.

“That’s for leaving me, and this is for being a bitch” and Luke smacked in the cheek again. Hearing Bron’s cry Ben came running out. He saw Luke standing over Bron and Charlotte huddled in the corner, but when he saw Bron lying on the couch helpless, being a victim to Luke’s punches, he couldn’t take it.

“STOP, right there” Ben yelled stepping forward

“Get out! Before I call the cops” and with one last punch Luke left, slamming the door behind him.

“Bron? Bron are you ok?” Ben asked rushing to her side

“My cheek” Bron whispered tears sweeping down her face. Ben quickly glanced at the cheek and told Charlotte to call an ambulance straight away.

“Can you still hear me?” Ben asked, gently pressing the ice on Bron’s face

“Yes” Bron whispered, the colour slowly draining out of her face.

Moments later the ambulance arrived. Scott and Alex walked in

“What happened?” Scott asked kneeling beside Bron and checking her pulse.

“She’s been punched in the cheek several times, but I am not sure wether it is broken” Ben said, slowly taking off the ice to recover a series of marks that were slowly swelling.

“Right do you know if she can walk?” Scott asked, putting an oxygen mask on to help Bron breath

“No I don’t think she can, she’s also been raped” Ben said taking Bron’s hand to let her know he was still there.

“Alex, get the board. Charlotte do you want to come?” Scott asked

“Yeah I’ll go in and start my emergency shift early” Charlotte said going upstairs to get changed.

When Bron was in the ambulance Ben and Charlotte both got in beside her.

“Am I going to be ok?” Bron asked her voice barley more than a whisper

“Yes darling you’ll be fine. Charlotte is going to treat you in emergency.” Ben said

“Ok” Bron whispered, closing her eyes, her breathing coming out in short breaths.
