The day I stepped off the bus in LA, I knew the life I had once known was gone. That first meal I went to eat and I ended up spending $20 on a hamburger and fries, I knew I was screwed. I had nowhere to stay and no one I knew. I came out here with the same dream everyone has when they make bus trip, my name in the lights. SHANE MCCUTCHEON.

That’s the last thing I remember, until I wake up in the hospital. With tubes protruding from every crevice in my body, I wonder what the fuck just happened. All I hear is this annoying beeping from the side of my head. All I smell is myself, god how long has it been since I took a shower. Finally I find the nurse call button, when she walks in the door it was like heaven. She had these beautiful brown eyes, wonderful smile, her scent (wow), blonde hair, but her ass was the best. She introduces herself as Tina.

And that voice, seriously I must be dead because she took all of that pain away when she spoke. Except I didn’t like what she was saying.

"Shane, you have been mugged, raped and left for dead"

I try to tell her she must be mistaken, because I just got to LA, I then realize I still have a tube stuck down my throat. So I motion for her to take it out and she does. Coughing and puking, this is not the first impression I would like to be making on a goddess like this.

"How long have I been like this?" I ask

"Two weeks." Tina replies.

"So that’s why I smell."

She chuckles. "Yes that is the reason"

"I get your doctor"

As I lie there waiting, all I can do is cry. This is just too much to process. Mugged, raped and left for dead. I wonder if my parents have found out yet, oh god does Rose know. I can still hear her last words from me, "I don’t know where you’re going out there, you’ll be nothing there." Ha, proved her wrong in the first day, I’m a statistic.

I’m lost in my thoughts when I feel a presence in the room. I look over to she another drop dead gorgeous blonde enter the room Dr. Alice Pieszecki.

"Hi Shane, I’m Dr. Pieszecki."

"Doctor what?"

"That’s ok just call me Alice"

"Alright Alice how the fuck did I get here?"

"Well, as Tina has probably told you, you are the victim of a sexual assault. Now physically, you will be fine, but mentally that is a different story. Do you have anywhere to stay here in LA?"

"No, every penny I had was with me."

"Well there is a shelter near by, I will arrange for you to be taken there after you are feeling better. Is there anything you would like to know?"

"Hell yes, I mean, sorry. I don’t understand, I remember walking out of the restaurant, and that’s it nothing else. Did they catch the people who did this? Does my family know? What in the hell am I suppose to do now? I don’t have any fucking money, nowhere to stay and I know noone. I left my semi comfortable life, because I wanted to take a chance and this is where I end up…in a fucking hospital. How long do I have to stay here?"

"About another week, you’re still pretty bad. You have 4 broken ribs, a shattered nasal cavity, dislocated shoulder, and a fractured wrist. So until you can stand up and walk on your own with relatively little pain, you should stay here."

"Great"

"There’s one more thing"……

TBC ?????
