HAYDEN'S POV
58Please respect copyright.PENANAb7QCBbbZ1r
58Please respect copyright.PENANAhWXgBloRWR
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAgdbAJzG9Tu
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAagOn1zrOns
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
58Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q9VvWaGb4
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAVXS6gHMl4H
I reached out to touch her.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAZKdjoeKMEA
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAZHQFL5WsjS
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAfBKOLYLxOf
Her lips were trembling.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAtyCz8NETZt
It was all fault.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAFxAQOpQ96C
"Please don't hurt me..."
58Please respect copyright.PENANAkStzvS9lI0
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAhxnV7TLFVP
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
58Please respect copyright.PENANA3wbPVwMfqU
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAQetUHpV5f8
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAWspId0ThxO
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAJGrZrqV9WF
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAXwA4Xwpbf8
He walked towards me.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAgMMw6kWuOP
"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."
58Please respect copyright.PENANAT0KktMdy8p
My heart tightened in my chest.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAmSWMLWCLKT
"What?"
58Please respect copyright.PENANAMXPiRFZUsq
The doctor nodded quietly.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAWRXEDc37tb
"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.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAqEEl4RESdt
The doctor gave me a smile.
58Please respect copyright.PENANANflygkDVZ0
He liked my guts.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAr1JrqBQ0YY
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
58Please respect copyright.PENANAHASa5Bz8AX
I nodded quietly.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAWIPLYbF4Z6
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAZY5KrLG6p2
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
58Please respect copyright.PENANA2VHVBiq84S
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
58Please respect copyright.PENANASLjSx31ZcU
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2BWTXOBa4
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAiWMEZt3oVf
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
58Please respect copyright.PENANAPTagOyNenv
She frowned.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAFPeWwqGtXT
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAz72Gbficno
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAe2f6zkj0Z6
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAOoQ21BWtZs
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
58Please respect copyright.PENANABFusRtb2JQ
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
58Please respect copyright.PENANAiKktF7EEA7
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
58Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ald7nGbTy
Crystal's face went pale.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAXXeosliwdG
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
58Please respect copyright.PENANATXqbtGBO7k
"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.
58Please respect copyright.PENANASQ5uMe5ok1
I released her.
58Please respect copyright.PENANApHlkdkCcw8
58Please respect copyright.PENANA1jAd4ik1rV
" 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."
58Please respect copyright.PENANAX3h7qMfoJC
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAi9K74VetzE
"My stupid plan?"
58Please respect copyright.PENANAeKhl1JY5RI
"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.
58Please respect copyright.PENANALqSYjDR42p
She was right.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAlyI1btcAlI
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAiXW9FJXQqt
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAg0IS8h1HAm
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAbjkZsujVQO
58Please respect copyright.PENANALuQCUC7gmq
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
58Please respect copyright.PENANAiVVbSekP7i
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
58Please respect copyright.PENANASq9cKHCLXO
58Please respect copyright.PENANAExYjGiaENZ
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
58Please respect copyright.PENANAmAoukk3hKx
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
58Please respect copyright.PENANAZWMlDuVmr8
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
58Please respect copyright.PENANAiFxZEuN4tR
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
I'm so lo-o-o-onely

VERONA'S POV ( ELIZABETH'S MOTHER)
58Please respect copyright.PENANAqSubtgF0ul
58Please respect copyright.PENANABL7Wu9iQYB
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAHKuT4MmVWh
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAzYSrkANFyB
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
58Please respect copyright.PENANA659mmOCLg4
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAqddSJaRBv9
She must survive.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAhueiNCkcel
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
58Please respect copyright.PENANA49HW1CdY2f
The doctor was still checking her.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAOB3CziydKy
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.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAK8XSxfqK4V
They didn't rape her.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8rpYFqvD1
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAZLBHMM3Za1
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
58Please respect copyright.PENANALVLevbs2KL
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAZtaUgLS9Uf
58Please respect copyright.PENANANXCvJjox69
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAokkrh8uGCw
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAxo0HOYhIIl
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAp03ox8DbMK
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
58Please respect copyright.PENANA432BGHiZci
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAt5S9x5GbaG
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
58Please respect copyright.PENANAWh37fyCWMj
I stopped in my tracks.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAuqQLXsZpbV
And I faced him.
58Please respect copyright.PENANAzXNjYczoeN
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
58Please respect copyright.PENANA2IUqrj7Yvk
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
