"I'm going to give you some stronger medication which will help with the pain. The nose bleeds which you've explained, I believe that you know how to handle them but if you have any concerns then call me." The doctor hands Leo a piece of paper which has all my medication on it, and I don't say anything as he is paying for the stronger medication. "Is there anything you would like to talk about?"

I turn my head a little to glance at Leo, but I quickly turn back. Taking a pen from the desk, I write can we talk alone and push it to the doctor so she can tell Leo for me. I know he won’t mind and will be happy that I want to talk to the doctor.

"All you had to do is ask," Leo says and I hear the humor in his tone.

"Hope, is Leo hurting you?"

I shake my head. “No.” There is not one part of me that feels in danger with Leo. After so many years of feeling scared or feeling alone, I actually feel safe.

“How can I help you then?"

"In... the thing is... I’m not sure what it is. All I know is they needed to change it every three years." I point to my arm. They never told me what the implant was or why it was there, the doctor would come and change it for them.

She walks around her desk to me and asks if she can have a look at my arm. I nod, and she presses my upper left arm. She explains what it is; an implant to prevent me from getting pregnant. Suppose that makes sense seeing as they never used protection with me.

I ask her to tell Leo, as I can’t hide it from him; I mean there is a huge Band-Aid on my arm. She also wanted to do some tests, as they had unprotected sex with me and she wants to make sure I’m okay.

I told the doctor it was fine for Leo to know about the tests, as he’s the one paying for them.

"When do we get the results?" Leo asks.

I peel the skin from my hands as they both start talking about my medication. I know it's my own fault. I've not really been putting lotion on, and it's starting to really hurt me now.

Leo's hand moves to mine to stop me from peeling the skin. "You need to stop, or it won't heal," he tells me, and my hand stops.

"Hope, if you can just look after yourself, use the medication and the lotion for a few weeks, the skin will be a lot better, and the pain will be a lot less," the doctor tells me. She turns to Leo for
