HAYDEN'S POV

69Please respect copyright.PENANAsttKjt96PE
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAwlqN0JFrHS
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAqjGTQe3RmM
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAwTyAa9Tnxw
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAS0lgQRkVH0
I reached out to touch her.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAC8WJ0HsoSn
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
69Please respect copyright.PENANACpkTZFh7vB
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAhEw6rliO7f
Her lips were trembling.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAwDDZ0ZVzQs
It was all fault.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA5mfU8Klt6C
"Please don't hurt me..."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAIidR5HgawV
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAOORaoOV6o0
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAw3vfISB3dT
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA6wfbEydj31
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAQRFi9zM0M7
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAWEylN7wBQq
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAl98GiEcjLN
He walked towards me.
69Please respect copyright.PENANALrPvasDrI3
"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."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAjvUHO4sQTF
My heart tightened in my chest.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAa89M4LSM7Y
"What?"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAUaT3ycmFlO
The doctor nodded quietly.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAK88bLZAasY
"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.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAwkaELueJBN
The doctor gave me a smile.
69Please respect copyright.PENANANRtrHaIEfo
He liked my guts.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAwhJ3rKus9Q
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Gc18BJQe
I nodded quietly.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA7knoeo6622
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAWwYFvanxPg
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAdEdefuwUCK
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA2NUCHXkBbR
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAbyk4a96rVS
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAM3zvNH3LLp
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAgg5vN1qS8P
She frowned.
69Please respect copyright.PENANApRkuzdjU9Z
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAKleHR1qdrH
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAeTtELFokY2
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAA4yVHQWVmk
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAY3CKbibzp8
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
69Please respect copyright.PENANANwLzCGbcV1
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAtnNy9PxAcE
Crystal's face went pale.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAuQsvbhH0Ex
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAPbgvmuyNoT
"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.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAlkF7WA2UJr
I released her.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAd9CwrKJE6P
69Please respect copyright.PENANAWx89tDYRU2
" 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."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ZERWks76
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAJdhxfpevSr
"My stupid plan?"
69Please respect copyright.PENANAAcaycWVYpl
"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.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAa8cDmWyrrD
She was right.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAsVixUnooso
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAXYNB3vqXKX
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAerjtHROLDU
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAbvqDOO5Yy1
69Please respect copyright.PENANAyY6xDgFfd2
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
69Please respect copyright.PENANAo5zdzWuNDh
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
69Please respect copyright.PENANAP3vwdKxLne
69Please respect copyright.PENANAHSSuYLr9hl
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
69Please respect copyright.PENANAnVxSgpaFbD
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
69Please respect copyright.PENANAHXiPAFYzPk
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
69Please respect copyright.PENANAVfwdrcteSv
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely

VERONA'S POV ( ELIZABETH'S MOTHER)
69Please respect copyright.PENANA6UnWuODu2U
69Please respect copyright.PENANAPTP7JIuU7N
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA5LfnYeIRY9
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA297R3RhpU9
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAenhJILTzQb
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAQQjpnTkQkp
She must survive.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAA2VUGwszej
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAVRMRMVcr2D
The doctor was still checking her.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3kMGA630gL
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.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAzXjkhOvoeX
They didn't rape her.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAyMHHaIwZff
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAYgrmBYLaj7
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAjIFzuWXNfj
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAlEGyRMWR8v
69Please respect copyright.PENANAh6ZRDYxoeH
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAU9QMEYoCJI
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
69Please respect copyright.PENANACE6CY18vMc
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA6pTNdfOx01
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAP7l0zuGXAq
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAwrUaz3dOfg
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
69Please respect copyright.PENANA38YDmYwCcg
I stopped in my tracks.
69Please respect copyright.PENANARXycr8wvp6
And I faced him.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4DHWqusS5
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAAbdY2x3m7S
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
