HAYDEN'S POV

57Please respect copyright.PENANAWposCLqxZx
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
57Please respect copyright.PENANASE1aedcA7N
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAx7wqczKOW4
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAriTIeY5b2V
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAnw3cSfiNXL
I reached out to touch her.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA4DIqFds0Q4
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
57Please respect copyright.PENANArHzDX2bM7P
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAU9OwHVgOvs
Her lips were trembling.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAwknp5dJw6e
It was all fault.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAoTJrISXgak
"Please don't hurt me..."
57Please respect copyright.PENANAqags6tkFdY
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAUCzKIB2igs
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
57Please respect copyright.PENANABH4hnqFiZ8
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAFGnXFl9zqr
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAv1Ow0Bi9IH
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAPApRWjY5Lh
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAN6yUSs0C1L
He walked towards me.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAAgNuVqZSiJ
"She's traumatized Hayden and her case is very delicate. She continues to be in shock for much longer. She'll be unstable and she will need to be put in a mental health facility."
57Please respect copyright.PENANA9x7DkKgM5v
My heart tightened in my chest.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAWIepUWw0v5
"What?"
57Please respect copyright.PENANAzJlbBXfJ2H
The doctor nodded quietly.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAw265BAPoPO
"How do I get her out of her shock?" I asked curiously. I got Elizabeth in this mess and I'm going to get her out at any fucking cost.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAVrkyCc5i3y
The doctor gave me a smile.
57Please respect copyright.PENANABgyZDkD6DQ
He liked my guts.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAjxfv3V8xQa
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
57Please respect copyright.PENANA6mH3Dt4Ds6
I nodded quietly.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAD6SGbcPBZn
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA3UdYCbwTL4
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAHXUxkoXQat
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA6dOToaoCxI
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
57Please respect copyright.PENANARywR9rpAfE
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAztoGadTKV0
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
57Please respect copyright.PENANA8dR4df6Y4Z
She frowned.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA9FJ54ZT9w1
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA94pWvDpdvC
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAygytjdWJ3X
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAirXOttBQn4
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAoSGTLYyRM5
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
57Please respect copyright.PENANAP2IlYn87M5
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
57Please respect copyright.PENANAtjKeW34UYR
Crystal's face went pale.
57Please respect copyright.PENANArzUUmPH5OP
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAXR4WgWzufD
"Oh my God that's not fault Hayden I didn't know that Mark would take things personally. I'm a girl as well Hayden I would never get Elizabeth raped" she sobs.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAf8oR8CxtoW
I released her.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ84PICFrY
57Please respect copyright.PENANASuAjfp8tMg
" Well your plan your stupid plan backfired and Elizabeth is traumatized all this and she's in a fucking hospital tied to a bed because she won't stop screaming."
57Please respect copyright.PENANAxVVVlAYCUz
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAtwyMgha8fT
"My stupid plan?"
57Please respect copyright.PENANAGt0A4QVoEA
"Don't you fucking put the problem on me Hayden you were also a part of this it's also your fault!" Crystal yells and storms off leaving me feeling like shit.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA66sGfhyGTy
She was right.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA58xQzKlk1E
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAGbxpIRdyaD
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA8vhJ5EeaMV
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAWlbtX0CWHJ
57Please respect copyright.PENANAi8sVQ9Nkvw
Everybody knows my name now
But somethin' 'bout it still feels strange
Like looking' in a mirror, tryna steady yourself
And seein' somebody else
And everything is not the same now
It feels like all our lives have changed
Maybe when I'm older, it'll all calm down
But it's killin' me now
57Please respect copyright.PENANAUNi3Il2nEu
What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just fuckin' lonely
57Please respect copyright.PENANAjaErkonGwm
57Please respect copyright.PENANA2btufa1tUz
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
57Please respect copyright.PENANAKEGdB9K79d
Everybody knows my past now
Like my house was always made of glass
And maybe that's the price you pay
For the money and fame at an early age
And everybody saw me sick
And it felt like no one gave a shit
They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid
57Please respect copyright.PENANA32h9hQKui9
What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just fuckin' lonely
57Please respect copyright.PENANALM4x3Sr2WB
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
I'm so lo-o-o-onely

VERONA'S POV ( ELIZABETH'S MOTHER)
57Please respect copyright.PENANAzIv90n0Lza
57Please respect copyright.PENANAu2mAeKx3LW
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAY1fxUyQoD7
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA4A7gOYVUqL
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAfLXiGouMmV
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAHKCatwAgkh
She must survive.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAv9E5nnQrDl
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
57Please respect copyright.PENANACaKPgVPdmg
The doctor was still checking her.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAXw4TBSKWwT
The nurse told me that she had a lot of bruises on her body and that her blouse was torn but there was no sign of intercourse.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAFw2vSeWqnZ
They didn't rape her.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAw95mNAWqif
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAZDXQsFT4cJ
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
57Please respect copyright.PENANA8blEV1Qmsy
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAGQg4smT3Zj
57Please respect copyright.PENANA95ibQFXsO9
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAWLumj4T8aJ
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAogukul1f8X
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAwLMAlPxjSK
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAgJzAw097vo
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAM8diCwaTMO
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
57Please respect copyright.PENANALA2tsJtKae
I stopped in my tracks.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAWf39OxIpk9
And I faced him.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAiO9TiXTxGg
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
57Please respect copyright.PENANAwlrlNTv71u
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
