At this point I didn't care. I am totally drained, to my luck my vision blacked out, and I fell unconscious.

My entire body ached horribly as I awoke especially my lower regions. The back of my throat burned, and my head strained with pain from the massive headache I had.
I opened my eyes looking around what was clearly a hospital the baby blue sheets rapped snug around my chest down.
"Sonny?" I heard.
It was Joel sitting their next to my bed, eyes red from possibly crying.
"Hey" I muttered, my voice hoarse from being invaded.
"Oh my god skrills Rob said he found you in an alley, he said....he said that." Joel stammered clearly distressed. "I was raped" I finished numbly. Joel nodded not being able to say it out loud.
"Robs at the police station pointing out who did this to you." He said after a few moments.
"They caught them?" I asked. Joel nodded, then shrugged "Well, Rob did anyway, the one with the red pants. He beat the shit out of him and called the cops. I guess he ratted out his buddies, but they wanted Rob to make sure."
I nodded, relived that my assailants had been caught.
"Rob called me yesterday, and said you were here....told me what happened. God. I-I flew out here right away." I smiled touched, and reached my hand out, touching his cheek. He leaned into my hand grabbing it softly.
"Here I got you something." He said suddenly reaching down into his bag that was next to his chair. He pulled out a case, handing it to me. I blinked, and opened it.
It was a new pair of the glasses.
"I picked out the thick kind that you like so much."
I sniffed and put them on my face, the prescription surprisingly correct. "Thank you Joel, thanks so much." He smiled, then frowned looking down at the floor.
"I wish I could have been there. To stop it." I leaned over to tapp the side if his face, and flexed my fingers in and out of a fist. He took my hand looking into my eyes sorrow etched into them.
"Neither of us could have seen this coming, I don't blame you Joel, there was nothing you could do." He shook his head.
"I just, h-how are you though are you alright?" he paused closing his eyes tight "that's a stupid ass question." I giggled shaking my head.
"I-it hurts everywhere, I feel dirty" I looked away from him "but I...I'm just so glad you're here. You make all this easier to deal with." I glanced at him as he stood up slightly to lean over the bed near my face.
His eyes were intense as I gazed into them, and I felt a rush of emotions go through me. So I leaned in and pecked his lips innocently. We pulled away and looked at each other, neither of us making a move further. Understanding that this wasn't the time, that I wasn't ready for anything to extreme at this point.
He got up, and pulled himself onto the bed right next to me. Burying his face into my hair as I rested my head into his neck.
No, nothing to extreme right now.
This would suffice for now, just laying with one another.
"I love you" He whispered, and all I thought was that I was going to be alright.
