He would be so disappointed

Faith wakes up and lifts her head immediately when her eyes open. She pulls her arms towards her, ultimately failing to remove them from the handcuffs that bind her to bedposts above her.

Her legs are tied to two opposite bedposts on the other end of the bed.

She immediately takes note of the pain she feels in her body.

She feels like all of her muscles are tight. Each and every inch of her body aches with pain with even the slightest movement.

She moves her head slowly to look around at her surroundings.

She sees that she is tied down to a bed. The sheets are made perfectly underneath her. It appears to her that she was just laid on top of the blankets.

She wonders why Calum chose to bring her in here rather than leave her in that dark room.

She looks down at her body and sees that her pants have been pulled down around her ankles.

She slams her head back down on the pillow, already knowing what has happened.

Her brain immediately puts all of the pieces together and completes the puzzle.

Calum has sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious.

Faith begins to sob. She never imagined this would happen to her.

She feels violated and disgusting now that she knows what has happened to her. She feels dirty. She wishes it was possible to take a shower. But she needs a shower that is powerful enough to wash away all of her guilt.

She is absolutely terrified of what he might do to her next.

Faith is worried about what her dad would think if he could see her now. She knows that he would be so disappointed in her because she didn't try hard enough to fight back against her kidnapping.

He tried to teach her how to fight after Calum was locked up but she didn't want to learn. She just wanted to stay home and never leave the house again.

If she had just woken her dad up that night, she would never be in this situation. She regrets not listening to her paranoia.

She wishes she could just tell her dad that she is sorry for putting him through all of this.

But she can't. And she knows she may never get to see him again.

*flashback*

Faith opens her eyes and sees a sea of color surrounding her.

People have come and gone from the room, leaving flowers for when she wakes up.

Pinks and purples and reds and yellows bring a sense of magic and help to brighten the dull, white room.

In the corner, she sees her father sitting in a chair, his head leaning on his fist as he sleeps.

"Dad," she whispers, her voice cracking. "Dad."

Faith's dad jolts awake at the sound of his only daughter's voice. He jumps out of his seat and runs over to her, collapsing at the side of the bed as he looks at her face.

Faith almost smiled at the sight of her father. She has missed him so much.

"I missed you pumpkin." Her dad speaks shakily as he grabs her hand, subtly looking at the cuts on her wrists from where they were bound together.

"I missed you too dad." She says, touching his arm, missing the feeling of warmth she gets from hugging him.

But he won't get to hug her for quite a while. She is still recovering from her surgery and any contact to her stitches can cause infection or cause the wound to reopen and bleed. He is going to have to be extremely careful for the next several weeks.

He will be able to give Faith his first hug since he lost her in just over a month. However, the hug will have to be very light so he does not hurt her when touching her.

He won't be able to give her a real hug for about a year.
