Chapter Seven

Etta

Mom had tears in her eyes and a crumpled tissue in her hand. Her dyed blonde hair was pulled up into a messy braid and her usually neat makeup was smudged along the tops of her cheeks.

"I was so worried I thought I was going to die," she said as she ran a hand through my hair. "It's a miracle you're okay. The police said the other driver, the young boy, he..." her face fell and she looked away, distressed. "He died..."

As much as I prided myself on being usually empathetic, I was now glad he was dead. He'd nearly killed me with his stupidity.

"Yeah, well he should have been watching where he was going."

I stepped into my shoes and began pulling my clothes out the tiny cupboard beside the bed. It had been almost a week since the crash and the nurses were sure Dr Bosworth would be discharging me today.

Bosworth... The man with the golden touch. There were times when I'd almost faked feeling unwell just to see him again but I knew how obvious it would have been. Having worked in hospitals, I knew how annoying attention seeking patients were when there were genuine sick people to attend to.

But Dr. Bosworth, he was putting things in my mind I wasn't entirely comfortable with. Filthy things I'd never imagined before. Maybe it was the painkillers or being bedbound but my mind was running rampant. And when he came into the room and his eyes were on me, he spoke as if I was the only person in his life. When he pulled my gown to the side and tickled me with his stethoscope, I always felt my heart beat a little faster.

"Etta? Sweetheart?"

Mom shook my shoulder and gave me a concerned look.

"I lost you there for a second."

I shook my head.

"Sorry I just... I dunno."

Mom smiled and sat me down beside her. Pulling me into a warm hug, I relished the smell of her powdery perfume and how her skin was always so soft.

"So I guess you'll be getting ready to go home," she said as she kissed the top of my head.

I looked up, confused.

"Home?"

"Of course," she nodded, "Back to Craig."

My stomach tightened.

The son of a bitch. I hadn't told her all about him yet. With all the commotion of the crash, there just never seemed to be the right time.

"Craig..."

It felt like a filthy word.

"What's wrong honey?"

She pushed me at arm's length and looked into my eyes. With true mother's intuition, she had the uncanny ability to read my mind.

"Is something the matter with Craig?"

I opened my mouth to speak with the intention of letting everything spill out but for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to tell her. It could have been that she loved Craig as much as I did and had accepted her as a son since he was a teenager, or it could have been that I was ashamed of his behavior. Either way, I found myself saying, "Nothing's wrong. It's just that.
