HAYDEN'S POV
68Please respect copyright.PENANASFrPqPpkwo
68Please respect copyright.PENANAU5GvItUebt
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0D71UtSP6J
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFmyb1ZY4ZA
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtLjcGfmFqk
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxKKecNxD8i
I reached out to touch her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANADlMaCKn7KD
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dn8DTdoVu
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIiefX0xiHV
Her lips were trembling.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlsXuM0jn4h
It was all fault.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlsVwvLYFy7
"Please don't hurt me..."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAA7NXw9oA8P
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtpibMUPAhe
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPAbKvEVpLA
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1eWNkv7KyC
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5STBmjbHkU
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqR40EWXipu
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAv13pO7TSic
He walked towards me.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAI7iBEGr91H
"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."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAoYd7lPpih3
My heart tightened in my chest.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ZL12rODk
"What?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQg5t26Yb1M
The doctor nodded quietly.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzYYoa4bbgR
"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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUjB4q8h3Wo
The doctor gave me a smile.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAyc9zaOwdje
He liked my guts.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAInAPJySUXi
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkzuXQCkkB3
I nodded quietly.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUjEHkK7fsq
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
68Please respect copyright.PENANARLD6zkwEnk
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYsxmnPFSd2
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAK1clmE50jH
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAY18mVvXsSY
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAS2iLzHEwXn
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjMDYKMe5fz
She frowned.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUdSIVoi5qG
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVAbMLmqBZn
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2r4LjiJbKP
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiI9pVEb5C8
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
68Please respect copyright.PENANArQQ0piFBCr
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJb5i1g5vkd
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVql2ZoqxHh
Crystal's face went pale.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXXjnQC1TEs
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5MxVbt0TZI
"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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcK59FXkbVH
I released her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMU4lzvkiFj
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnJciKxgprt
" 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."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAoMMD8Ilcgu
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAj4KPCNqQze
"My stupid plan?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAeVX4uOZjpF
"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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7SwMzEQshF
She was right.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAM5CEUGTdd4
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0EXFncqKkG
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVbjIPiPZCB
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.
68Please respect copyright.PENANASIpIIU9wdX
68Please respect copyright.PENANArSUBf2JqAw
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
68Please respect copyright.PENANAeJSZ4fHC8r
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
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkLy34yUjeh
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZVseeaVPzl
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzxr0tFCyBj
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
68Please respect copyright.PENANA72QHmErH5L
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
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHodhuQoAqt
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely

VERONA'S POV ( ELIZABETH'S MOTHER)
68Please respect copyright.PENANADZtVM31Owb
68Please respect copyright.PENANABDd9QT4sZR
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAsK6aDCroRA
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA38AL6LsxJX
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZuD4Gvu357
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6MvCbtiG5l
She must survive.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4H5zgGbgoE
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhI1vSul7UA
The doctor was still checking her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOm4NKDU7OC
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXQjCoT2gBu
They didn't rape her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4WwrhNwdrw
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAovYbB8Ynl1
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlcGh0PECi4
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAz2CjJWNMaU
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlLnkTHMFoW
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1qVCreqQhy
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKSAbGpzukW
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaTfzCzcrWp
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7WCtRulXjI
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5cAwl3PHfY
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtf4ja8MZgj
I stopped in my tracks.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXi02tOMqaM
And I faced him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPMy8BMnXag
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApaJT63An5N
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
