Scattered, chapter 28
After sitting in the hospital for 2 hours Dawna found out that her nose was broken, and so was a few of he ribs. She also found out that Matt had broken a lot of blood visuals on her arms and on her face as well.
"So Miss we looked into your file and last time you came her with marks like this you charged your boyfriend with assault."
"Yah?"
"So... uh did you really get mugged tonight or did you boyfriend just beat on you again, causes if so we can get you help."
"No, this has nothing to do with my boyfriend, I was mugged!"
"Ok Miss, I'll just need you to sign these forms and you can be on you way." Dawna signed the forms and soon she and Billie had left the hospital.
In The Car
"Why didn't you tell them what happened Dawna?"
"Because, they say they can help me but they can't."
"What do you mean? They can put you in some kind of woman's shelter, where Matt can't get near you at all."
"Yah and live my life in fear!"
"While that's what you're doing now isn't it?"
"Its different you don't understand."
"Sure whatever you say. Anyways tomorrow I'm gonna drive you home, and if I have to I'll deal with Matt for you."
"You don't have to, don't worry about it, you've done enough for me already."
"No I'm going to drive you home." Billie instated before getting out of the car and walked to the front door.
"Alright fine, but I'm telling you, you don't have to." Dawna followed behind Billie.
"I know but..." Billie said while opening the door.
"But what?"
"Nothing. Never mind."
Once in the house Billie went upstairs got Dawna a few blanket and a pillow.
"You know Billie you never know how much I appreciate everything you've done for me and had to deal with tonight."
"Mhmm... anyways I'm going to bed see you in the morning." Billie turned off the hall way light and went upstairs to bed.
Early Next Morning
"Billie, wake up." Dawna shook Billie who was still sound asleep.
"What?" Billie looked up to see Dawna standing there. "What's wrong?" Billie mumbled still half asleep.
"Can you drive me home now?"
"Now?" Billie looked over at the clock by his bed. "It's 5 in the morning?"
"Yah, I know."
"There's no need to leave now."
"Yes there is, come get you get dress. I'll be waiting downstairs."
"Fine," Billie muttered while getting out of bed.
"Thank you," Dawna left the room while Billie was getting changed.
Once Billie got down stairs Dawna had a coffee ready for him, and his coat shoes and car keys.
"Why do you wanna leave so early?" Billie asked still half asleep.
"Because, Matt went out drinking last night, and he mostly stayed the night at some girl's house."
"So?"
"So that means if we leave now I can beat him home, and he'll never know I came over here."
"Yah I guess but what are you gonna tell him about the rapping around your ribs and why your nose looks they way it does?"
"I'll tell him, I did it myself, and Billie he isn't that smart."
"All right, all right. Let's go." Billie walked out the door.
"I can't leave yet." Dawna stopped in the door way.
"Why?" Billie walked back to the house.
"I need Matt's gun."
"Alright but I get the bullets from it." Billie reached up in the closet.
"Fine I don't care, I just need the gun." Billie took the bullets out and handed Dawna the gun.
"Ok now let's go, so I can come back home and sleep."
Once in the car it was pretty quiet, till Dawna broke the silence.
"Oh before I forget. Mike called you."
"When?"
"Last night, when I picked up the phone."
"Yah?"
"While it was Mike."
"Oh ok thanks."
"You know I'm really sorry for showing up at your house with a gun... "
"Mhmm."
"No I really am, I'm so sorry."
"Ok, I know you are, just do not worry about it. In addition, never come to my house again and try to kill yourself, or me."
"I won't. And you probably won't hear from me anymore."
"Mhmm... " Dawna just looked at Billie. "Where do I turn now?" Billie asked trying to get Dawna to look away from him.
"Uh, right... then drive down the street a bit, and I'll tell you when to stop."
"All right, Billie turned the corn and did what Dawna told him.
"Stop." Billie pulled over to the side of the road.
"Is he home?"
"Nope, thanks a lot Billie."
"For what now?"
"For driving me home?" Dawna opened the car door.
"No problem. "
"Yes it is, anyways bye." Dawna left the car before Billie could say anything back.
"So Miss we looked into your file and last time you came her with marks like this you charged your boyfriend with assault."
