Alright, so this is what's going on...I wasn't going to continue with this story, but all of your encouraging words have convinced me to keep going. I have started writing the next part of the story and I'll try to get it up as soon as possible. Once again, I never thought my story would get this big, but it did, so thanks for sticking around with me. It means a lot.
I might be able to update before the weekend, but I make no promises as I have a huge test this week and I really want to do well on it. :P
Much love, and stay safe!

I think I might be addicted to Domo-kun. "Let's go to Tokyo!" Me:"Tokyo? But what about Japan?" "Mer, you idiot...Tokyo is in Japan." Me:"Really? Since when? OH...damn it..." "How the hell do you have an IQ over 170?" Me:"Oh, shut it!"
A broken down doll, that’s what I saw when I opened the door. Cecilia looked so pale and fragile.
I.V.s were sticking out of her arms and her wounds were more apparent on her porcelain skin.
It was so ****ing difficult to look at, and that wasn’t even the worst part.
Her arms were out in the open, her struggles with life visible to anyone who happened to walk in. My heart dropped because I noticed that some of those cuts were new. As I went to cover her arms, a doctor came through the door.
“Oh,” he gasped. He had a nametag pinned to his lab coat: ‘Xavier Hensley.’ “I hope I’m not interrupting anything.”
“No,” I said, moving away from the bed. “So what’s going on with Cecilia?”
Dr. Hensley grabbed the clipboard that was hanging on the front of her bed.
“She’s suffering from moderate heat exhaustion and dehydration.” I guess he was reading down a list of some sort. “From the rape test, we are certain that Cecilia has been sexually assaulted.”
“No ****,” I thought to myself. “What gave it away? The bruises? The hickeys? Really, was it that hard to figure out?”
Dr. Hensley hesitated a moment before speaking again.
“I have also noticed a rather large amount of lacerations on her left arm.” His tone seemed as if he were disgusted with her. “Perhaps we should contact her family and get her into some sort of treatment.” He suggested.
This guy was really starting to piss me off…
“I really don’t think involving Cecilia’s parents is a very wise idea, Doc.” I smirked in the same tone he spoke in. “My friends and I are all she needs.”
“Ok then…”he said, but I totally ignored him.
“If you could please wrap up her arm, I’d really appreciate it.” I said, not looking away from Cecilia. “I’m pretty sure she doesn’t want it out for the whole world to see.”
Without a word, Dr. Hensley got the first aid kit out of one of the drawers in the room and began bandaging her arm.
“Is there anything else I can help you with?” He asked as he walked over to the door.
“Nope,” I said, still not looking at him. “I’m pretty sure I have everything under control.”
“Have a nice day, sir.” He said, walking out of the room. “I’ll let your other friends know that they can see her now.”
I know what you must be thinking: I’m a ****ing asshole. I’m sorry, but seeing Cecilia like this really destroys me. She looks so helpless, so weak, and all I can do is sit here and look at her. I feel so ****ing useless…goddamn it! I wish there was a way for her to tell me what I could do to help her…
“Ahren…” I heard my name, ever so faintly.
“Huh,” I gasped, looking at her face. Am I hearing things?
“Ahren…” this time, I know she said something, I saw her mouth move!
“Cecilia,” I took her hands into mine and moved closer to her. “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Her eyes flickered for a moment. I gazed at her, fixated on her closed eyes. A moment later, they opened, joining with mine.
“Don’t worry, I’m here for you.” I whispered softly, picking her up into my arms.
“Oh, my, God…”she said, her entire body shaking, her eyes welling up with tears. “What happened to me?”
