Why oh WHY by Amanda C. Amundson (graded readers txt) 📖

a key’ I thought to myself as I walked towards the door. I opened and despair and fear ran through my veins. As I looked at the visitor I gasped. Heath was standing before me. “what the fuck are you doing here again?”I regreted not going with Andie and they were too far away to hear my scream. I tried to slam the door in his face,but he stopped it and said “now now don’t be like that.” I tried to run but he grabbed my arm. His hold nearly cut the curculation off in my arm. He pulled me into the house and upstairs to my room. When we reached my room Heath threw me onto the bed. I kicked him in his dick and ran down the stairs I tripped and fell. He finally caught up to me and he beat me I felt my ribs crack and I felt my lip split I also tasted the blood flow in to my mouth. Heath threw my head into the marble floor. I felt the blood rushing from my head at an alarming rate.I was sobbing “P..p….p..please d…d..dont do this” he just slapped me. he dragged me up the stairs.Then he ripped my clothing off and proceded to rape me. It was excrutiating every time he trusted it hurt more and more. He was getting pleasure everytime I let a sob throgh my lips. By the time he was finished I was cried out. He finally rolled off me and kissed the cheek where he slapped and wispered “now that wasn’t so bad was it?” I couldn’t awsnser him so I just looked toward the door. He then said as he was getting up “Im not going to insult you by saying ‘don’t call the police’ I just ask wait for me to leave.” When he said that he kissed my forhead and left. i couldn’t move I was to terrified. About an hour after he left I heard the front door open. I jumped and stifled back a scream I thought he was back for round two. Then I heard Andies voice calling my name. “Rachel? Rachel where are you?” I couldn’t move so I screamed. I heard all three of them running towards me Sky reached me first but skidded to a hault when she saw how beat up I was. she started crying then Kyle saw and his face went white with fury he took Sky and lead her to his room. Andie came in next and ran to the bed and gasped when she saw the blood and my split lip and black eye. She held me while I cried and sobed ruining her pink shirt the first words she said was “Heath right?” I just nodded my head she called Kyle after she covered me with a blanket “Kyle I want you to call the police and an ambulance please” he went down stairs and I could hear his voice telling the operator the address. His voice cracked when he said my name. We heard him dash up the stairs and he said “They will be here shortly we need to get her down stairs.” Andie nodded and looked at me “are you alright to walk or dose Kyle need to carry you?” I tried to stand up but I tripped and stumbled into Andies arms. “Kyle will you carry her?” Andie questioned him he resopnded by gently picking me up and gently cradleing me against his chest it hurt so bad I let out a little cry. Andie let out a single tear. We made it down stairs and I heard Kyle gasp at the blood from my head. Andie growled and said “he will fucking pay for this.” She saw the fear in my eyes and it only made her more pissed off but she reaigned it in to reasure me. ten minutes later a there was a knock on the door and I screamed and jumped. Kyle got the door while Andie stayed with me. a tall and skinny officer entered and he walked toward me while I was shaking in Andies arms. She wispered “baby its ok hes here to help.” She looked to the cop and started explaining what happened. “her brother, sister and I went to the store and Heath Ruben showed up after we left. we found her beaten and bloody in our room.” The officer looked at her with a perplexed look on his face wich caused me to say something. “ yes we are together.” I snapped at him. I felt Andies laughter shake me when the cop looked away. “I need to see the room where this occurred” Kyle nodded and led the him upstairs to the bed room. Then the medics came inside. I looked at the woman and the guy that came in then I looked for reasuance from Andie and she smiled “Im not going anywhere I will be with you from start to finish.” I sighed and I hurt a little bit. The female looked at me and asked “do you need the strecher?” Andie spoke up and said “yes” I glared at her and she pointed at my side where I saw a buldge I swollowed as I realized what it was. My rib. Andie rubbed reasuring circles using her thumb on my hand. “are you riding in the ambulance with me?” I asked her getting nurvous again I don’t want to be with out her. “yes I will I will have Kyle and Sky follow us in my car.” She said that when the medics came back in. “Um only family is aloud to ride along.”Andiegot pissed and said “ I am family this is my girlfriend.” The male medic sighed and replied “ ok you can ride along. We need to get her on the strecher now.” I nodded and felt dizzy and almost tackled the medics. Andie caught me and the male medic came over and picked me up. The last thing I remember is seeing Andie smile at me and saying she loves me. then I blacked out.
I woke up in an unfamilar room and an uncomfortable bed. with a lumpy pillow I sighed –which hurt so bad- as I remembered where I was and why I was there. I looked over and saw Andie sleeping in the most uncomfortable looking chair. The door opened slowly and I saw Sky walk in with a cup of coffee she was trying to be quiet. She smiled hugely when she saw I was awake. “Rach, oh its so good to see you awake. Andie hasn’t left your side once this cup is actually for her.” she sat on the edge of the bed as she spoke. I tried to sit up but the tubes I was hooked up to held me down. “how long have we been here?” I asked in a shaky voice. “almost a week” Sky said sadly. Wow I was out for almost a week? “where is Kyle?” almost as if on que he walked in. worry was the dominant emotion on his face until he saw I was awake. “OH MY GOD your finally awake.” He shouted “SHHHH” Sky and I shushed him together “Don’t wake Andie up she needs to sleep.” I scolded. He came to my side and huged me I felt a warm tear fall on my face. “you guys havnt been staying here have you?” I asked. Kyle sighed and said “Sky and I have been trading on and off the only one hasn’t left is her.” he pointed to Andies sleeping form. Then I asked the question I was dreading “how bad was it?” Sky looked to Kyle who awnswered me. “well the doctor said you have two broken ribs, a crack in your skull, a broken ankle, and you had internal bleeding.” Kyle gritted his teeth when he said this. From the corner of my eye I saw Andie sit up. She looked at Sky who was still siting on the bed, and was about to scold her when Sky looked at me and smiled. Then Andies whole face shifted into pure happiness. “oh my Rachel oh I was so worried.” She cried and rushed to my side. Now I was completely surrounded by people who I loved and who loved me. I made room so Andie could sit my me I wanted to be held in her arms. After all I had been through I needed to be in my girlfriends arms. That’s the place I feel safest. “I have a question.” Andie looked at me telling me to go on. “can I get some water please.” She smiled and nodded she got off the bed got a cup and filled it for me. she held it to my lips so I could get a drink from it. When she took the cup away from my lips the doctor came in. “well I see you’re awake. How do you feel?” he asked. “well uh.. im kind of groggy and im really sore and thirsty.” The doctor was looking at my chart when he spoke again “well, I want to monitor you for a couple more days then you can go home.” I was so happy when he said I could go home in a couple of days. “Andie have you left at all? To do anything?” I looked at her clothes and got my awnser and it was no her shirt had dried blood. She shook her head no and I sighed “you could have gone home to at least change your clothes.I would have never known or minded.” At this she looked into me eyes and said in a quiet voice “I couldn’t even stand be in the waiting room while you were in surgery Kyle had to hold me in my seat because I wouldn’t stop pacing. I nearly hit the doctor when he said you flat lined in surgery. Kyle stood between the doctor and I while Sky grabbed me from behind and held my arms.”I gasped when I heard I flat lined. Andie heard me and thought I was in pain. “What hurts baby? Your ankle? Ribs? Head?” “No im fine I guess I was a little taken by surprise about flat lining.” “the doctor said it was only for a minute” Sky spoke up in her little voice. “Rach, your girlfriend kicks really hard.” Sky laughed Andie grimaced “I said I was sorry like a hundred times Sky.” “I know but I told you I was going to tell her.” Andie nodded I could tell she was too happy to be mad at any one right now. “Kyle and Sky I want you guys to go get Andie some clothes and food for all three of you” I commanded, they looked to Andie she looked at me and I nodded then she threw her keys to them. “they still have your car?” I was confused as to why Kyle wasn’t driving his truck. After they left I turned to look at Andie she was worried she had a her eyebrows scrunched up. “whats wrong sweetheart?” I grabbed her hand and gently pulled her down to the bed so she was right next to me. She sighed and spoke gently “ I was so worried Rach I didn’t know if you would pull through this I was terrified of losing you” she started crying into my chest. “shh baby please don’t cry im fine baby I promise you that I am fine.”she nodded and looked up at me. I smiled in response. “I love you” I wispered in her ear she sniffled and sat up. “when they get back you will go in the bathroom and take a shower alright? Sky will be here to keep an eye on me and will tell you if something happens.” “but-“ I cut her of f “no buts you havnt taken a shower
