Chapter
9
Once we arrive at his doctor's after a
twenty minute drive, I'm basically shaking.
"What's wrong?" Asher asks me.
"I'm just worried that the fall was serious." I
lied. I was afraid that the doctor will notice that I was abused
and recently ran away two days ago, changing my name.
After the doctor examines me a bit, he asks to speak to me
alone.
He's young, kinda handsome, must be new. "There's
more injuries than such a fall could've made," he
informs me. Crap. "Would you like to tell me
how you got them?"
I decide to be mostly honest, "My mother abandoned me when I
was little. Ever since she left, my father's been
abusive."
"And your name is?"
"Olivia," I lie again, but that's the lie I tell
everyone.
"Well, Olivia," he begins. "Why don't we...
Talk?" He said that in a weird way, as he begins to unbutton
my shirt. I swat him away.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
"Calm down.." he says, doing such again. I scream a
bit, as he has my shirt halfway undone, being stronger than I
am.
Asher bursts in, "Greg! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
DOING?!?!" he shouts, prying the doctor, Greg, off of me.
"You're not getting paid. Oh yeah, and
you're fired!" Asher then puts his hand on my back,
pushing me gently out of the door.
Once we're in the lobby, I button my shirt as he talks to the
lady at the desk, Greg's boss.
"He tried to what?" she asks. Asher explains
it all, as she looks at me for clarification. I nod slightly,
giving her a look of a mix of fear and upsetness. Quickly, she
has fired Greg, and called the cops on him. I hug Asher.
"You can stay at my place tonight if you want." I look
at him with the same look I just gave the lady. He pulls me back
into a comforting embrace, "Don't worry, I'm not
going to try anything." I cry a little bit as he rubs his
hand up and down my back.
In about seven minutes, we were back in the car, driving to his
house.

Holidays! This was a bit of a more eventful chapter.
