The Broken One
Can You Stay?
***Cynthia’s P.O.V***
“He raped me”
I blurt, my heart pounding in my chest as my face grows hot. Andy just stares at me for a second, a shocked expression frozen on his face.
“What…by who?”
He asks, his face starting to turn into an angry frown.
“Quinten...he-he was the nu-nurse that gave out medi-medicine to everyone”
I stutter through my sobs.
“Oh my god”
Andy mutters as he pulls me into his arms.
“I'm sorry”
I say quietly, my voice cracking.
“No, don’t you dare apologize, none of this is your fault, do you understand me?”
He says, pulling me off him and taking my head between both his hands, forcing me to look at him.
“But it was”
I sob, tears leaking from my eyes.
“No”
He says, shaking his head and pulling me back into his arms.
“I was the one who made him mad, he didn’t want me talking to the other girl”
I cry.
“There were others?”
He says, angry now.
“Y-yes”
I stutter, shrinking against him, scared of his anger. Rather its directed at me or not, angry people have always freaked me out.
“Jesus fucking Christ, we have to turn this guy in”
He mutters angrily.
“No, no, please no”
I beg, the thought of having people find out about this whole thing making me cringe and instantly start to panic.
“Why? You want this guy to keep on raping people?”
He asks, sitting me up and holding me in front of him once again. He looks at me as if I were crazy.
“I don’t want people to find out”
I sob. I look up at Andy and see his eyes soften a little.
“Cynthia, this guy can’t keep doing what he’s doing, I know this is probably embarrassing for you but it shouldn’t be, if we stop him, then no one else is going to have to go through what you did, isn’t that what you would want?”
He says, his voice gentle instead of angry. I just look at him, tears pooling in my eyes. The last thing I want is to turn Quinten in, I just want to move on and forget about what happened.
Andy sighs.
“How about we talk about this in the morning, you need to get some rest”
He says, standing up.
“Can you stay?”
I ask, my voice shaking a little.
“Why?”
He asks, sounding tired.
“I don’t want to be alone”
I whisper. Andy looks at me sadly and then nods. I get under the covers and lay down, waiting for him to do the same.
“Goodnight hun”
He says after we’ve both got comfortable and situated on our own side of the bed.
“Goodnight Andy”
