HAYDEN'S POV

67Please respect copyright.PENANAsChqSQ0aEX
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAjyM6STBTYd
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAPhckrPYIJC
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwr2g3gSLw0
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAP0ZLDoOC8q
I reached out to touch her.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ51ERr2yq
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFsHS4QmnzX
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5CLLn00jT5
Her lips were trembling.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZM32J7Wc7l
It was all fault.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnV5fZ2fqlb
"Please don't hurt me..."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKaGqa3KmdZ
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA2btRk2TqZf
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHkBsAiXTx1
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFOyb8HQJkU
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkPedvkcK9N
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAIKjqN4DURO
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaA5CxVzvC3
He walked towards me.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0of0xadZUL
"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."
67Please respect copyright.PENANALyF5oW8FPh
My heart tightened in my chest.
67Please respect copyright.PENANARLe7JDoJp2
"What?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANABVDwTYDUFc
The doctor nodded quietly.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkBOHfx64Av
"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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAE5nt6KnNOJ
The doctor gave me a smile.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAPi63AI1cWx
He liked my guts.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5ByX1mT7AV
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
67Please respect copyright.PENANA9OzFYNOpYA
I nodded quietly.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsgOD6Y6Yq7
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdnYzjjttcX
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAusSohynLBU
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUg8MVd5ZNv
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJcuG4QugGe
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHHrJlrBvpl
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANADRz4umqwJ8
She frowned.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoygpmft4tl
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKFRoglEuDu
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKMHBJtDn6r
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA9GDiW1R2CE
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA32ZpGlPfYC
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAT1aWoSTTzd
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANA3pSstkV2WZ
Crystal's face went pale.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAPsSHc51XHo
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAu3666d245q
"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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAb9U5hXTwBO
I released her.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7x7MhZwgoc
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8DDLlmkaBK
" 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."
67Please respect copyright.PENANApXEXRmK3EN
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7lcBwPTKE1
"My stupid plan?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAappbLtecc9
"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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANALUvzR50Zbs
She was right.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAE5UKdZMcJ0
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4f76YS1kRx
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA9fFQSzMUqw
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.

67Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5fPA1EKKa
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
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJVatz1ERRh
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
67Please respect copyright.PENANAp5Rl1LpeHZ
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMKI7FgCR9D
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
67Please respect copyright.PENANABcgxnF90pn
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
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWdRcpEdpg9
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
67Please respect copyright.PENANA73eCTvUrrM
I'm so lo-o-o-onely

VERONA'S POV ( ELIZABETH'S MOTHER)
67Please respect copyright.PENANAqSEgjT8n74
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQerF8LukBu
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAV9Ih94kxxq
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAc5Hihiu4zg
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFH5dI3Rxtl
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5oYRf5xnSo
She must survive.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAzmOMlBgxVf
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEbBIefCN5h
The doctor was still checking her.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5H0RzD36uL
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFIm3hSFwc0
They didn't rape her.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbsY9r8ayo0
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoJL0mSgb7Z
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAyi1okNmy9o
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdSIMAIlteR
67Please respect copyright.PENANAVn8K4e0H1F
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZB2ZKycNx2
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
67Please respect copyright.PENANATfJCT87sID
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdUBCweR5fX
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAiSJGOBewx1
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxPLDUA7Bzd
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcubElMIAZf
I stopped in my tracks.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlqngeabD72
And I faced him.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwDQqqURM75
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAff3kkMdf2u
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
