Chapter 22 Dr. Martinez
Alex
Athena's head snaps in my direction, and for a second, I think she's about to fire off some smartass comment -
tell me I'm imagining things, that I'm overreacting again - but she doesn't.
Instead, she swallows hard, her hand gripping the thin hospital blanket like it's the only thing keeping her anchored.
"I'm fine," she says, but her voice lacks the bite I'm used to.
It's flat.
I step closer, ignoring the doctor now. He's just an annoying blur in the corner of my vision.
"What did he do?" My voice is lower this time.
Her eyes widen just a fraction. "Nothing. He did his job, Alex. That's it."
But I see it
the slight tremble in her fingers, the way her throat bobs
when she swallows again. She's not okay.
"I need to speak to the nurse's station,"
the doctor interjects, clearly uncomfortable with the tension swirling
in the room. He's
already edging toward the hallway like he can feel the noose tightening around his neck.
I let him go. For now.
The door shuts again, leaving us alone.
"Athena,” I say, stepping closer, my voice rough. "Tell me the truth."
She looks away, her jaw clenching. "There's nothing to tell. Just drop it."
Like hell I will.
My hand grips the edge of the bed frame, my knuckles turning white. "Did he touch you wrong? Say something?" My words are clipped, hard enough to cut through the thick air.
Her lips press together, and that's when I know - something happened.
Whatever he did has messed with her and she's
trying to convince herself it wasn't a big deal.
But it is.
To me, it is.
"I'm fine," she repeats, quieter this time.
I don't believe her.

Athena is very stubborn and doesn't easily give in.
So I try another approach.
"Should I get the footage and check?"
She snorts. "We both know there isn't any footage. He's not that stupid."
"So he tried something? Just tell me I just want to know." I coax.
