HAYDEN'S POV
54Please respect copyright.PENANA1vZnseUCtk
54Please respect copyright.PENANAe0zbGIrSmG
Five hours later the doctor had informed that Elizabeth was fully awake but in bad shape.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAOxsqNghz1x
I ignored his warning and barged in like a wild animal.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAWV17wvdFis
I spotted Elizabeth sitting on the bed she had curled into a ball. Her head buried in her lap she was sobbing uncontrollably.
54Please respect copyright.PENANApoJoNvdGc0
Guilt sliced through me like a sharp knife.
I needed to make sure that she was okay.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAxGvrlveOY1
I reached out to touch her.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAvhECLT3qOs
Once my hand made contact with her skin her head immediately jerked up in alertness.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAdOMa2AH7X8
"Don't touch me!" She screamed.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAI3c6FMqB2m
Her lips were trembling.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA02rszlPpEs
It was all fault.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ru7QeEEp
"Please don't hurt me..."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAVqeOUc5Gdt
I backed away as guilt consumed me whole. I recalled Crystal's words.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA1zdNN0UdoS
"I'll teach her a lesson, leave the planning to me."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAh2WkALisru
When Elizabeth started having a panic attack three nurses rushed in accompanying the doctor.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAyOJ95onLKp
They tied Elizabeth against the bed because she was struggling and she was being violent.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAlnpH7lLZw3
I just stood there staring. I was stuck.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAKlmVEMCzZ3
The doctor injected her with something and she slowly closed her eyes.
54Please respect copyright.PENANALwr3vR9mDE
He walked towards me.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA3aQqHCRsOa
"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."
54Please respect copyright.PENANA1HwYcOs1Zh
My heart tightened in my chest.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAUnv9TWGS5A
"What?"
54Please respect copyright.PENANAp4bd4HI4TW
The doctor nodded quietly.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAFLkkvJSLW4
"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.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAp71hyyCZWH
The doctor gave me a smile.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAsQrrRjyxTe
He liked my guts.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAVFLw4QrYhV
"Make her remember about her positive memories that will bring her in terms of reality. Mostly let her cry, trust me it will help."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAEt5DTl5FEp
I nodded quietly.
54Please respect copyright.PENANATiAkWLXc8p
The hospital notified Elizabeth's mother to come to the hospital.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAWH8h40fvjr
She would be coming soon. And that was my cue to leave.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAfbeIWmQih5
I left the hospital and went back to college. I'm sure I would find Crystal there when it was time to confront her.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAoFj8yEadWl
An hour later I was dragging Crystal behind the gate where we couldn't be seen.
54Please respect copyright.PENANATJcZYHEKUP
"Hey let go of me!" She snapped angrily and I released her.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA5RRsHZYtah
"Did you send Mark and his friends after Elizabeth?"
54Please respect copyright.PENANApctEQ4UVn8
She frowned.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA091gMIE2wT
" Answer me."
" Yes I did it's not a big deal" Crystal replies coolly.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAuU5zXb6Owe
I slapped her across the face.
She gasped in shock and held her sore cheek.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAalMhiU0RmG
I gripped her shoulders tightly digging my nails into her flesh making sure to leave the bruises I saw on Elizabeth's body.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAOWQfREFka0
She winced in pain and her voice was filled with fear.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAiY7eiWOlo4
"Hayden you're hurting me..."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAbooBsG9Gpg
"Are you crazy Crystal? getting Elizabeth fucking raped by Mark and his fucking friends wasn't a good idea!"
54Please respect copyright.PENANApaC51NWccL
Crystal's face went pale.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAkCX4LiDM4K
" Raped by Mark?" She repeated in shock.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAp0xM0ZHPsZ
"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.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAMKunseWxju
I released her.
54Please respect copyright.PENANARLajQydICV
54Please respect copyright.PENANAhIlmd3EY9f
" 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."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAlPpuuY9fKV
Crystal flinched and her teary eyes met mine and she gave me a taunting look.
54Please respect copyright.PENANANAP9Nn5q7S
"My stupid plan?"
54Please respect copyright.PENANAPntN8A1Jqi
"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.
54Please respect copyright.PENANARbZ6tM1gEV
She was right.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAGmRxfE63Dt
This was all my fault.
I was more guilty than Crystal.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAV99QOkLXxt
I pushed the wall in anger and it cracked.
54Please respect copyright.PENANACUEJbmUnkh
She was right. I'm also at fault.
I left and went back home.
54Please respect copyright.PENANADRcTy6rGSM
54Please respect copyright.PENANA6LyhgxwJRg
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
54Please respect copyright.PENANA4i3SzkHunh
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
54Please respect copyright.PENANAmW1Hb6xVtw
54Please respect copyright.PENANAm0dbt4tb3O
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
54Please respect copyright.PENANAKH4Nb9kEhI
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
54Please respect copyright.PENANAk2uHq4d6BD
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
54Please respect copyright.PENANAXaGv616OYw
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)
54Please respect copyright.PENANApv5d4NHORk
54Please respect copyright.PENANAQWKF1GVGCO
When the hospital called and told me what had happened to my daughter I was already in the car driving to the same hospital.
54Please respect copyright.PENANApFf7wTgEOU
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
Some guys wanted to hurt my baby girl.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA9dqzCxE8AZ
When I arrived at the hospital I was already crying my eyes out.
54Please respect copyright.PENANArp73x4iuZS
I already lost Azalea. I couldn't lose Elizabeth as well; she was the only thing that kept me going.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAv4iwEgp66a
She must survive.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAWL11CFaksP
The nurse had offered me a glass of water I had flatly refused her offer. I just wanted to see my daughter.
54Please respect copyright.PENANATT82TmGIDS
The doctor was still checking her.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAkGRPfgH1dm
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.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA7grhGPk4YJ
They didn't rape her.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAPQsxK71zLy
But their intentions were clear.
The police were already investigating the case. A guy who brought Elizabeth had told them what happened.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAaLUcv0W9aD
I wanted to personally thank him but the nurse told me that he had left an hour ago.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAua5eFncLZm
He saved Elizabeth and I owned him my life.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAGCfhd7zTas
54Please respect copyright.PENANAe6ZgYB9Xvh
A girl's screams filled the hospital halls and I immediately recognized the voice it was Elizabeth.
54Please respect copyright.PENANASHrSfhs4Lo
The nurse tried to stop me but I pushed her away and barged into the room where they were keeping Elizabeth.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAXXGI8kuhHK
The mere sight of Elizabeth sent me into a dark tunnel and I broke down crying.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAwJR3d8bR1H
"Why was the universe against me and my only child? I sobbed miserably.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA2BqQ41yPbV
I couldn't bear the pain.
I rushed out of the room and the doctor followed me.
54Please respect copyright.PENANABsP2TrKkOZ
"Ms. Verona please wait!"
54Please respect copyright.PENANAeXfKJem477
I stopped in my tracks.
54Please respect copyright.PENANABAr0PbD6jM
And I faced him.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAwUBApaukZy
He wrapped his arms around me and sank into his embrace.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAHWUz9JZKsD
"She'll fine trust me" he said firmly.
