Dylan passed out after being beaten by the old drunken men. She wakes up and finds herself in a tent and all her cuts and bruises are treated. A man walks in and then Dylan faints again after a brief discussion with the man.
"Hey girl it's time to eat if you want to wake up its lunch time!" a man's voice calls out to Dylan.
Her eyes begin to open the light hurting her eyes. she looks over to where the sound came from. The man standing there with a bowl of soup. "What happened?" Dylan ask as she holds her head.
"Well I was coming back from town I heard and group of old men laughing and saying that they beat a girl up at the beach so I headed over there to check and you were laying on the sand bleeding all over so I picked you up and brought you back to the meadows with me. You woke up like an hour ago but you passed out again." The tall man explained to her.
"Oh yeah I remember. They chased me down and then I thought they were going to rape me but they were so mad all they did was beat me up," Dylan mumbles.
"No one can hear you when you mumble!" he says with a tone. "there's food over there girl its soup with some bread."
"My name is Dylan. You?" Dylan ask.
"You sure feel better huh." he switched subjects.
"that's not an answer, whatever,"Dylan says as she gets a bowl and starts eating. "not bad," she thought. Dylan looks at the man while he eats. She brings to blush she didnt realize he was so husband before. She snaps back and continues eating. "I wonder if Mimi is worried about me" she says.
"who's Mimi?" He ask. Dylan looks up in shock that she said that out loud.
"sorry I didnt mean to say that," Dylan replies. "I should leave soon I have plans, Thank you so much I won't forget your face since you didnt tell me your name."
"Its Aaron," he says as he continues to eat. Dylan shakes his hand and exits the tent. Dylan begins to follow the road. Her body feels better then what she thought she'd feel like the medicine he used must have been really good. Dylan keeps walking until she sees the fork and then turns down to her road. her eyes begin to fill up with tears as she gets closer and closer to her house she thinks about how grateful she is and screams out " Mimi I'm home!" she flung the door open and sees Mimi asleep in her chair. Dylan calms down and head to the bath to clean herself off so she seems better then what she is.
Dylan aches all over. She flinches everytime she goes over her body with the rag. The soap stinks with every stroke of her hand. The bruises on her ribs are the worst. She did her best to protect her face but Aaron's medicine really helped with the swelling. She begins to hear Mimi moving in the next room.
"Mimi everything okay?" Dylan yelled to the next room. As she moves closer to the door to listen for her response.
"Yes sweetie! I just need a drink," Mimi replied. Mimi is Dylan's care taker every since her mother got sick. Mimi is very old but shes the sweetest old lady you'll ever meet. Dylan reaches for the towel to dry off and get her clothes on for the festival. She has this very cute sundress prefect for tonight's festival. She checks out her face in the mirror so when she tells Mimi what happened she wouldnt freak out all the way. She looks in the mirror her blue hair still so silky and smooth. Her freckles are really dark today. and her dark brown eyes look black as always. She opens the door and walks out.
"Wow daring you look fantastic," Mimi blurts out with a smile.
"Thanks I thought I might as well dress up for tonight's festival, are you going?" Dylan ask.
"Oh heavens no," Mimi giggles. "I'm too old to go out and dance."
"Mimi you'll never be too old," Dylan explains. "welp never for me at least."
"oh my sweet little girl," Mimi says as she hugs Dylan.
"ugh!" Dylan flinches.
"what's wrong honey?" Mimi asks as she gives Dylan a worried look.
"Don't be mad," Dylan says,"but I was coming home last night and a group of men attacked me and beat me up. I wasn't badly hurt but another guy came and healed me up and took care of me."
"Whag the hell! DYLAN!" Mimi screams," did they touch you? who was it? tell me take a look!"
"Ah!" Dylan mumbles as Mimi starts to look at her wounds.
"I'm so reckless, I should have had Austin go with you, I knew it was going to be late when you head back but I never, ever thought this would happen, oh my poor little girl," Mimi apologied. Mimi's eyes fill with tears and she begins to ball.
"Mimi it's not your fault, dont take the blame on this okay," Dylan says as she hold Mimi in her bruised arms.
Mimi stops crying after awhile and she goes back to checking Dylans wounds, "who took care of you again?" Mimi ask.
"This guy names Aaron and hes dark and very tall," Dylan replies.
"huh he did a good job on healing you," Mimi says.
"do you think I'm good enough to go to the festival with Tyler and I was thinking about inviting Austin, get the old gang back together," Dylan says.
"Only if they pick you up and drop you off because I don't think your body could take being beaten up like this again," Mimi explains to Dylan.
"Okay I should go ask Austin then," Dylan says.
