HAYDEN'S POV
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeHeyrj6CHy
53Please respect copyright.PENANAgsxosSotPy
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAPkZlpP92QX
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIKXYw4ylSw
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA4jl4Sstwru
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
53Please respect copyright.PENANASHJKEOZCeN
I reached out to touch her.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0Klpk5Dax
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAPrr95zEYok
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzEwAxSrfnN
Her lips were trembling.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAylpgiPDc6F
It was all fault.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA1O2KPNRw0q
"Please don't hurt me..."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAg7sfRWIXZ1
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHqEJ6lVogQ
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
53Please respect copyright.PENANA7qhVBEIh1k
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzoNSKFbGk0
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHYU6SieVrS
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAaxWICgk5GC
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6ul2uc8fWG
He walked towards me.
53Please respect copyright.PENANASnWPUEVVer
"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."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAOpZodSmSvz
My heart tightened in my chest.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAUMecXe9iHZ
"What?"
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0u52Dfju9W
The doctor nodded quietly.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA489IsBFIWE
"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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAqzcLCSyg5I
The doctor gave me a smile.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAR1IguUgqql
He liked my guts.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHEDodj7b63
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzqAZOIARX1
I nodded quietly.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAiejdCnSTBC
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0cSwaD9t4I
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA5H402D3BoM
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA2CWPzthGjy
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA1bAuCybuAy
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
53Please respect copyright.PENANATteZXeBOI7
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzjB2T2Wy4x
She frowned.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtYMKQ1NShP
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAl03uJvZvET
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
53Please respect copyright.PENANARmlacYo1CH
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6EkAeTI6WY
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
53Please respect copyright.PENANArQoehPba8Y
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAblfJU5bbqz
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9rBwHpuz6t
Crystal's face went pale.
53Please respect copyright.PENANADhEO0UPUlW
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAaRd7jkvuzM
"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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAyuiH8c72wP
I released her.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAUJQanXRj50
53Please respect copyright.PENANAPTdoejVWwt
" 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."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAq0IbB5vSm6
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAwMFO8xsU3i
"My stupid plan?"
53Please respect copyright.PENANAYmnw5AfQdM
"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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAWNX63SiWr4
She was right.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA12IFoYwrSl
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA7sOWxWtu6s
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
53Please respect copyright.PENANABXQDcg7EAi
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAdNY6Owlg69
53Please respect copyright.PENANAVyRJbuKjiY
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
53Please respect copyright.PENANAo1zHJeo8lU
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
53Please respect copyright.PENANA1WOEFMXXAH
53Please respect copyright.PENANAgCZjfS2EJv
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
53Please respect copyright.PENANAggDPuXLmG2
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
53Please respect copyright.PENANAVeJNvuWPdc
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
53Please respect copyright.PENANAShSOTIqEOa
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
I'm so lo-o-o-onely

VERONA'S POV ( ELIZABETH'S MOTHER)
53Please respect copyright.PENANAuQfMWVi6SO
53Please respect copyright.PENANAc5qkOXJcjk
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHDA6yEhatu
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeKxJ9SSl83
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAWEsCupy2Wf
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAAACRcxSpL0
She must survive.
53Please respect copyright.PENANACQgXW0XFaJ
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAI06pOOVgaz
The doctor was still checking her.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAOm1lzXppWj
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAmsSj5C1OTn
They didn't rape her.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAfVJKCZLBeS
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAedajKbnWgh
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAZF4rgbRK8L
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
53Please respect copyright.PENANANuoyWsuvDy
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtPr9OB3TNm
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA73F36oZjyL
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHkuy6Xyo5f
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIsZYK8VwDM
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
53Please respect copyright.PENANArSE30gmsWR
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAUW9UNSLx27
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
53Please respect copyright.PENANArNFxHlnNgx
I stopped in my tracks.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAL8OyaTYEdR
And I faced him.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAkaGhfedvqJ
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
53Please respect copyright.PENANApo8Ev4rvtg
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
