HAYDEN'S POV
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhVqiyiUaoN
52Please respect copyright.PENANAG8BiZ0jSMP
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAWeaY2zDQi5
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAyxHOJ2erwW
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAgtDC8Y6grz
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA7HlvMpYFKs
I reached out to touch her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAvZz5jEb6zX
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA0jiHb8O4wJ
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
52Please respect copyright.PENANABzbtClQNFb
Her lips were trembling.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJxugAiDTZi
It was all fault.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAtU5bXWmy5O
"Please don't hurt me..."
52Please respect copyright.PENANARYyjanXtST
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAWW8EbkULxE
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
52Please respect copyright.PENANALuCrk0CrY4
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFrLAK54kJW
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPixNdbvZBf
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAVgpc0LeauV
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA4DB2YfyPIs
He walked towards me.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAvWIhrzXjMN
"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."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAwhd5Ng1vjV
My heart tightened in my chest.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAK37bIhxHtE
"What?"
52Please respect copyright.PENANA0QkGFmXupq
The doctor nodded quietly.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAj2rfU6wB8m
"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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJfueggxWTn
The doctor gave me a smile.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAoMp2oZmqEq
He liked my guts.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lo2Vodivc
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAk9avv1MvRm
I nodded quietly.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAEIw0FUGkN8
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAu9EE4RMHBv
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdiw9sjTqZP
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdQQkBTHZtp
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAxFslyoYDQx
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA8lvxqAc2pf
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAUFmtsrA1xD
She frowned.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5yMJJ4rtzS
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA48TLyIXdER
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
52Please respect copyright.PENANASpqi4qQn3Z
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9arT8CCXbo
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ6bh0YxL5
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAgTGl1w1mJD
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANA1QBjGiWibW
Crystal's face went pale.
52Please respect copyright.PENANACvnxCuT7WQ
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAw6ETpMTbOW
"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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA194oTT0kxA
I released her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAe0uJgBAKO8
52Please respect copyright.PENANAClLMxOsdF4
" 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."
52Please respect copyright.PENANAq6CLsBJhNu
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAyqMs8xAmXb
"My stupid plan?"
52Please respect copyright.PENANAiMqcy6ipbD
"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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAo3tHQL3Uvm
She was right.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhrRgGOdKQC
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAKNS7cz50Vs
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA4jQwpW4LHK
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA7ev5fVnsJ3
52Please respect copyright.PENANA2B702iYa6a
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
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6jaHsXh40c
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
52Please respect copyright.PENANAHwePeVfTWR
52Please respect copyright.PENANAXho24FTmPb
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
52Please respect copyright.PENANAuV00NOecVD
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
52Please respect copyright.PENANANhLQY33jZB
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
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJba5CuOFAL
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely

VERONA'S POV ( ELIZABETH'S MOTHER)
52Please respect copyright.PENANARrr7yoPROU
52Please respect copyright.PENANAxe3HojmNhj
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAgAQ71uKje7
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9pct4Wk5Xd
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAcJLeZvcYz8
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAy1Fqd5RwVn
She must survive.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAS1NT7lBg8O
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAa2LhLmB0BQ
The doctor was still checking her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYJiMBvephz
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.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdgPQFd1WYL
They didn't rape her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAY5W5ZyOYv4
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
52Please respect copyright.PENANATp96MwnqIt
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
52Please respect copyright.PENANARPCkA78XfD
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
52Please respect copyright.PENANATfOLhyWgWJ
52Please respect copyright.PENANAT5IgJrqZD9
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3DjAaLHnSt
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAaUYXO5dzgy
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAXnqOk2NdTR
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZWedxs6HLX
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAI9YuIGZaAa
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
52Please respect copyright.PENANA2oDq9z2h5i
I stopped in my tracks.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAktZijthAnH
And I faced him.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZk0l6cxldC
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdPv7WdYfGO
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
