HAYDEN'S POV

66Please respect copyright.PENANAmb2nJy1zIM
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAgE1pyZHkNR
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAebbhqMJ6Tz
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1m55DiXfGa
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbteqAoB2t7
I reached out to touch her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA6ArwwUakAt
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcm2VqaZbnf
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAv5YdRllyuJ
Her lips were trembling.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAtbndQaL3tE
It was all fault.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbIWmlYmNWP
"Please don't hurt me..."
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9wSZsdnlGT
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAHAbungUuHq
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAhs6HWQsxE7
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbvaLLb497l
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUApvjLeXrx
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAjcBVrud91T
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEEsS9GusBP
He walked towards me.
66Please respect copyright.PENANANVMI2wWQK8
"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."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkTKBL9tHLw
My heart tightened in my chest.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAefnePysuwd
"What?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzyiqXbeHan
The doctor nodded quietly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAd1OYz0zVoq
"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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAAkiB7nhggG
The doctor gave me a smile.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvkPq6xLcgM
He liked my guts.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAabscM7knRB
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAd4lkBJaEiA
I nodded quietly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ6faiRaGS
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvVUHTacD5W
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAKuCv6KVT54
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwynh2jlbLT
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAs9Php4Ablr
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAlS3bzhglQY
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAFLwMtGlhAW
She frowned.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbZxNcAWDWf
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAOxcKwENNKF
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA5NQVgqMG5S
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAk8oG8apmkk
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
66Please respect copyright.PENANABLKfiONE9Z
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZfjKcI5q34
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcnQP0UNCJ5
Crystal's face went pale.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAIcSR6MFlHM
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAjRMt2WfBbz
"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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANADHj5ODAe18
I released her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1jZhrzxPUE
66Please respect copyright.PENANA8AzswtA8Ro
" 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."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAw7hXl5M36n
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAhxpdjWARRr
"My stupid plan?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAnfma0lZneL
"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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwxkYtk8rLM
She was right.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAx8ToisoJZV
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA5xPulLlleZ
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUnOWw3u5iS
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAa3cS3qIzPi
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7UEaulwRn0
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
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzi8oQwYlav
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
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1x6XZWqUVv
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUrPAqcyvTp
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbZNG9s64sr
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
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZa4lrgetxo
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
66Please respect copyright.PENANAuCKIu854ve
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely

VERONA'S POV ( ELIZABETH'S MOTHER)
66Please respect copyright.PENANA82rYxJFtPX
66Please respect copyright.PENANAtwjZjLkbVk
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxCkeCn6Dqe
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZGoPG4bL4Q
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAXvtnHStIts
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUjQbWLGrq6
She must survive.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAD41HnBWAo9
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
66Please respect copyright.PENANANtQghXrRVf
The doctor was still checking her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAWu3ep8P7Tk
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbJjiNp8GMB
They didn't rape her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA3kJYvenSig
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAfIfpJkQin7
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUURNJRC2xa
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAtOBKlGFT8Q
66Please respect copyright.PENANA3vfuODNegJ
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAllkYyPNdSq
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvmr9TjMkPt
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAImi9kvByuQ
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2fAmIKXpl1
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA24gqnqQ85Z
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAdFftpb4dcB
I stopped in my tracks.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAaX9Gm7rYwp
And I faced him.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7x3qU63msy
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQbO9OufwCe
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
