The first thing Eugenia realized when she first started to come to was the tube in her mouth. The second thing she noticed was the throbbing pain that coursed through every nerve of her body. Her lungs felt oddly sore and she was instantly grateful for the nubs in her nose that were pushing air into her lungs. If her sore tailbone was anything to go by, she’d been in this bed for a good while. Her sore lungs and throat let out a low groan once she was fully aware of her situation. Her eyes searched around to find the button that called the nurse. After pressing it she leaned back and tried her best to get comfortable. A few moments later, her nurse walked into the room. She looked relieved to see Eugenia's green eyes watching her.
“Hello! I’m Tina, I’ll be your nurse until 9 pm tonight!” the nurse informed her. She took a dry erase marker out of her pocket and wrote her name on the whiteboard that was across from Eugenia's bed.
“Wha happen” Eugenia tried to talk around the large tube that was in her mouth. She was starting to hate it the longer she was awake.
“You’ve been here for about 24 hours and this is the first time you’ve woken up. We’ve called your family and one of your sisters is on her way. The cops have your boyfriend in custody” Tina continued telling her what was going on but Eugenia had zoned out. Earl had finally tried to do her in. Just like he always said he would. She couldn’t remember what had started their argument, but at that point, everything started an argument. Her head throbbed and she tried not to think about what had happened after the first blow. Tina promised that she’d bring back a soda and a few crackers once the doctor came in to take out her tubes. Eugenia nodded softly before leaning back into her pillows. She could already tell she was going to hate this. Her anxiety was gnawing at her heart; telling her to be afraid of Earl and the possibility of him coming back. But the near-constant feeling of fire in her veins and the prospect of one of her sisters coming kept it slightly in check. It had been two years since she’d seen her sisters. This lapse in communication was not what she had wanted when she initially moved down to Texas, but Earl had insisted upon it. Eugenia had told him about her adopted family during the two years that they had spent in a long distance relationship. When he had finally come up to New York for a weekend, he had seemed put off by her odd family. She understood that a heterosexual cisgender man meeting her family for the first time was going to be overwhelmed. The issue came when she moved down to Texas. About a month into their living together Eugenia had been talking about flying back to New York for her sister’s high school graduation later in the year. Earl had vehemently disagreed and even went so far to threaten to break up with her if she went. Eugenia, not wanting to start fights so soon into their living together, let it drop. But as the two years went on, Earl became more and more restrictive of how much time she spent talking with her family. Ironically, the less she talked to them, the more physical he was becoming. After a year of living together, he had already proved himself to be abusive. She wasn’t blind to that. She was, however, helpless. Earl controlled her phone and saw who she contacted. He also insisted that she didn’t work and that they have joint bank accounts. Everything had happened so fast and whenever he presented his ideas to join their bank accounts or for her to not work, they always made sense. He had told her that it would be easier for her to get to know Houston if she wasn’t working and went out to explore on her own. It would be easier for her to buy things for the apartment with a joint account. It had all made so much sense then, even when she had a sinking feeling that she was being played. It wasn’t until a year after they moved in together that Eugenia had decided that enough was enough. She had stood her ground and told him that she wanted to move home; she was done with being his Trophy Girlfriend. The next thing she remembered after that was waking up on the kitchen floor with a black eye and a bruised wrist. This last time he had caught her trying to escape. She had made friends with one of Earl’s friend’s girlfriends. Laney had helped her save up for a few months for doing side work while Earl was out of town. He was always out of town now. She had packed up what few belongings she had left that hadn’t been destroyed in one of his outrages, and tried to sneak out the window in the bathroom. It was around 4 in the morning and she thought she was safe. Once she snuck out and felt the ground under her sneaker she felt finally free. Without worrying about Earl waking up, she had walked across the yard and headed for Laney’s house. She was going to drive her to the bus station. They had decided that a bus ticket was the cheapest and easiest thing to buy for Eugenia to get back to New York. Just as she was walking up the driveway to Laney’s house, where the blonde woman sat on the front porch with a wine in her hands, Earl’s white mustang had screeched to a stop right behind her. Laney’s eyes had gone wide and she got up to run inside just as Earl got out of the car. Eugenia had always asked for the cops to never be called. She thought that would make it worse. But as Laney saw Earl’s hand grab a fistful of Eugenia’s orange locks, she had pulled out her phone to call the police. Laney had woken her husband up and he had tried to keep Earl off Eugenia. However, his punches and kicks had already done their damage. When the cops arrived, the red-head was lying on the paved driveway in agony. The police had immediately called an ambulance when they noticed the pool of blood forming around Eugenia’s lower half. Her world had gone black just as she heard the second set of sirens coming closer.
Now, here she lay, in a hospital bed getting tubes pulled out of her.
“Eugenia, your sister’s here” Tina whispered softly as the doctor left with her used tubes. The frail woman turned her head slowly to face the doorway. There, as if in a dream, stood Desi. Her sister smiled softly and Eugenia had to use everything she had left in her not to cry.
“Hey, Skeeter” Desi finally broke the silence as she walked over to her sister. Eugenia smiled. Despite hating the nickname, she had never been so happy to hear her sister’s voice say it.
“What’s the haps” Eugenia gave a dry chuckle, trying to prove that she was still the same older sister that left two years ago.
“Got maself worried sick aboutchu” Desi replied as she sat down in the chair next to Eugenia’s bed. Eugenia’s eyebrows knitted together at the accent her sister had. Had she always talked like that?
“I’m okay” Eugenia assured the blue-headed woman, reaching out her hand to press it on top of her sister’s.
“Are you? Cause when I got here the nurse told me all of the shit that happened. Prince didn’t even tell me about all that! A miscarriage? Damn, Skeeter”
A miscarriage?! Eugenia’s eyes frantically searched her sister’s for signs of a joke. They didn’t hold their usual mirth, but instead were solemn and searching.
“M-miscarriage?” Eugenia ventured, hoping that Desi would explain. As far as she knew she wasn’t pregnant.
“The nurse said that you weren’t that far along, from what they could tell. She also said that you had a broken wrist, rib, and multiple fractured phalanges along with a wound to your scalp.” Desi’s eyes were scanning her sister’s body for any indications of the injured bones.
“Just say fingers, nerd” Eugenia teased softly before venturing to wiggle her fingers. She hissed in pain as her right arm seemed to light on fire. She turned to examine the damage. Her fingers were purple and black, as well as the outside of her arm from shielding herself from Earl’s hits.
“Wanna talk about it? About him?” Desi offered, her hand coming up to push the hair out of Eugenia’s face. At that moment, Eugenia finally noticed that there was bandaging on the top of her head; no doubt from the damaged caused by Earl holding her entire weight by her hair.
“I’m not ready to. I just wanna go home” Eugenia sighed and brought her sister’s hand up to her face. She had missed her siblings more than anything. They were always a cuddly bunch. Well, all of them except for Tera. Earl was never much for soft touched or cuddles. He was always so harsh and sexual. She had missed feeling love through touch. Desi smiled and leaned in to kiss her sister’s forehead.
“I’ll go get the nurse. Maybe they can tell us when you’re getting out of here” Desi stood as she spoke and squeezed Eugenia’s hand before heading out of the room to find the nurse. She was pregnant, or at least she had been. Her head fell back into the pillows and she could slowly feel the emotions enveloping her. Had he known? Did he realize after the fact? She was only 22, she couldn’t have a child. She didn't even have a job! Her lungs were starting to struggle and her heart rate was increasing rapidly. A second later, Tine and Desi came running back into the room.
“Miss. Parks, I need you to calm down” Tina’s voice was panicked as she took Eugenia’s hand in hers.
“What’s going on?” Desi asked, her hands coming to rest on Eugenia’s shins and squeezing.
“Miscarriage?” Eugenia breathed, squeezing on to the hand her nurse was offering her.
“Skeeter, you need to breathe. We can focus on that once you're out of here” Desi’s soft voice and the pressure on her legs brought Eugenia out of her trance. Her breathing slowed and she was able to focus on the blue-haired sibling at the end of the bed.
“Hey, Skeeter, once you get out of here we’re going to get on a plane straight back to New York. Mama will make your favorite dinner and we’ll all sit around and watch movies like we did in high school” Desi’s voice shook slightly as she spoke. After year one of Skeeter being gone, Desi and her sisters were afraid they would never see their favorite redhead again.
Eugenia smiled as she began to calm down, the thought of being with her family again bring her back. Letting out a long breath she didn’t realize she had been holding. Desi saw the anxiety leave her sister’s eyes and she smiled back at her.
“So what’s next?” Eugenia asked, still sounding breathless as she came back down to Earth.
“Well, now that you’re awake we can get the doctor in here and he can look you over. All of your bleeding has stopped and all of your bones have been set so you should be out of here within a week” Tina spoke quickly as she flitted around the room before administering Eugenia’s next dose of painkillers. Once Tina left to get the doctor, Eugenia’s eyes flitted tiredly over to her sister who sat in the chair next to her. She was looking at her phone and smiling, her fingers flying over the keys.
“Who ya texting?” Eugenia teased quietly.
“My boyfriend” Desi responded after a moment, a slight blush covering her tan cheeks.
“Ooo~,” she cooed, “what’s his name?”
“Raphael” Desi’s blush was slowly spreading across her face.
“That’s a fancy name” Eugenia smirked at her sister who was refusing to look at her while she turned red as a tomato.
“I’ll have to meet him when we get back to New York,” she remarked and watched her sister’s eyes widen in fear before her.
“N-no! You can’t meet him yet. Mama and the others don’t know yet”
“Why don’t they know?” Eugenia prompted, Desi’s eyes refusing to meet hers.
“It’s complicated”
“What kind of complicated, Desiree” Eugenia’s voice had hardened but remained quiet as she searched Desi’s eyes.
“O-oh! Nothing bad! We were just trying to keep things private until we felt comfortable. He’s a really private person and it took us a while to even tell his family” Finally, Desi’s eyes met her sister’s to show sincerity. Eugenia visibly softened at the reassurance that her sister wasn’t about to go through the same thing she just had. A moment later the doctor walked in with a clipboard in her hand.
“Look who’s up!” She exclaimed, her dark brown eyes scanning the redhead’s battered body.
“Up and ready to go home” Eugenia chuckled softly.
“Well, according to your scans we should be able to get you out of here within two days” The doctor, whose name tag read ‘Dina’ assured the two women. After the doctor checked a few more things on Eugenia she asked the girls if they needed anything before leaving the room.
The rest of the night, the sisters spent time catching up in between Eugenia dozing in and out of consciousness. When Eugenia was asleep, Desi would quietly video call Raph and send updates to her family to keep herself occupied. The nurse had assured her that when visiting hours ended at 8 PM, that Earl wouldn’t be able to sneak in. Either way, Desi couldn’t sleep while being worried about her sister’s abuser coming back to finish the job.
Once Eugenia had gotten out of the hospital the sisters made a beeline for the airport. During the time Eugenia was in the hospital, Laney had stopped by to drop of a duffle bag of Eugenia’s belongings that she had snuck into her old apartment to retrieve. So now the pair sat in their aisle seats, each with a book that they were determined to read during the four-hour flight. Despite her wrist being wrapped in a hard cast and body still being sore from what she endured, she had never been happier. She had come to terms with not being able to get any of her belongings back from the apartment, but when Laney showed up she just about cried. Now, here she was, sitting next to her little sister who was constantly snuggling up to her. While her sister was still just as affectionate as before, maybe even more so, Eugenia was curious about her sister’s new item of affection. Desi was never very romantic in high school. She focused on her studies and working to help the family get by during the hardest times of their lives. Eugenia moved to Texas just as Desi went into college; a time that had apparently changed her for the better. Her sister was much more confident, albeit shy whenever Raphael was brought up. She had heard her sister talking with her boyfriend when Desi thought she was asleep. His voice was deep and his New York accent was thick - almost comically so. She could understand where her sister's new accent had come from. They had talked about Raphael’s family, more specifically about a brother named Leonardo. From what Eugenia gathered, Leonardo had gotten on Raphael's nerve about cleaning his room. The eldest sister couldn’t sympathize to his issue since she was the one whose room was always clean and the one Prince sent on her sisters to clean.
“So Prince has your favorite dinner ready for when we get back. Terra and her girlfriend, Tani, are picking us up from the airport” Desi broke the redhead from her stupor just as the plane was taking off.
“I’m just glad to be outta Texas” Eugenia sighed, a weight lifting off her shoulders the further into the air they went. She had dreamed of leaving Texas every minute she was with Earl. Earl, she cringed at the thought. She had spent most of the time in the hospital trying to think of anything but her miscarriage. Desi had kept her talking most of the three days, but when Desi fell asleep it was hard for Eugenia to keep her mind on track. Letting out a slow breath, Eugenia leaned back and opened her book. She’d be damned if she wasn’t going to use this time to relax.
