HAYDEN'S POV
55Please respect copyright.PENANAHvyKmSJIf0
55Please respect copyright.PENANAdjNSw82X4P
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAjFN711sPD4
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAIuYdCpL9ze
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA2E6eQoaIxT
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAiWIpyji8db
I reached out to touch her.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAOAiwYy1JrQ
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAxFTGeivR0q
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAdMa08NUH4J
Her lips were trembling.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAvp69f767n5
It was all fault.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAevS0lvwECS
"Please don't hurt me..."
55Please respect copyright.PENANAtqPNzytevI
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAAjauTfVTds
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
55Please respect copyright.PENANAzg2cRbnudn
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAl1Wb9e8dPz
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAMyXU3ceTwz
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAj8JD0FFdv8
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
55Please respect copyright.PENANACpTIHv0HEE
He walked towards me.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAxB7BqGrPlp
"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."
55Please respect copyright.PENANAzUoVQsTzQa
My heart tightened in my chest.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAokmLw9yrpN
"What?"
55Please respect copyright.PENANA3FD54BvvCl
The doctor nodded quietly.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAnardwZEfOb
"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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAHFKTqtJTqH
The doctor gave me a smile.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA7qYB1srH67
He liked my guts.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAzqxBRaeV6r
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
55Please respect copyright.PENANANNcpI1TKGp
I nodded quietly.
55Please respect copyright.PENANADAe1gJbVWN
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAwajsipqyY3
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA0q6rPYzQ8q
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAQlGZAtbm0B
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAa9a1fQcMsG
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAjvIOmWaN0k
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
55Please respect copyright.PENANAZZqVI9KJRV
She frowned.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hjh4D2iQc
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ8G5C04kX
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA5frZlSRMij
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAkguVU9pmdz
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
55Please respect copyright.PENANADirKDyxMO6
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
55Please respect copyright.PENANAux9MRw0GKI
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
55Please respect copyright.PENANA2Eve0hrTEe
Crystal's face went pale.
55Please respect copyright.PENANANz3xypFqR6
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAMt5JvWenUL
"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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAje1YkOwsNT
I released her.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA4KbUbfoFWh
55Please respect copyright.PENANACk5pun6pgC
" 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."
55Please respect copyright.PENANAA6NNgVFmeH
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA7qoOq3u0PP
"My stupid plan?"
55Please respect copyright.PENANAi5hZGKNqrQ
"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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANABakZqw1xvU
She was right.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAnh06UrjW6B
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAvAmWuGmHWZ
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAOnsxWaD3S9
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.
55Please respect copyright.PENANArNDYFKowSC
55Please respect copyright.PENANAQO495RMJyJ
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
55Please respect copyright.PENANAgun3egCmhp
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
55Please respect copyright.PENANAMk671ZDqQy
55Please respect copyright.PENANANR6CExe5cp
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
55Please respect copyright.PENANAGLr64tu1Ke
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
55Please respect copyright.PENANAvLALoi560d
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
55Please respect copyright.PENANAYOmfGpf7SI
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely

VERONA'S POV ( ELIZABETH'S MOTHER)
55Please respect copyright.PENANAPQLwMt9NXs
55Please respect copyright.PENANA2VZxfft6O8
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
55Please respect copyright.PENANALRKbOrDXmC
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
55Please respect copyright.PENANATFbgYwuvn8
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
55Please respect copyright.PENANApVPMbamWSQ
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAOJQVINiC8i
She must survive.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAGXpDPAoxFL
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAmegr74QCKw
The doctor was still checking her.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAv1GlmYW1Hl
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA1bdXRh1b3B
They didn't rape her.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAmbL3kPPlVL
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA5VvbBegitF
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAac4e96aoUd
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
55Please respect copyright.PENANApSPpV05wDE
55Please respect copyright.PENANAnHsIZDr2ET
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAGNm7S7yVbw
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAxENeho9GdB
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAPKU01dDycU
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ68meOMJS
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAeSJzhwQMRm
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
55Please respect copyright.PENANA1tBOnCbvzo
I stopped in my tracks.
55Please respect copyright.PENANANn4oFLDu4E
And I faced him.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAo3sN5hMzED
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
55Please respect copyright.PENANARE26ur0KRK
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
