Chapter One Hundred-Seventeen: I'm ScaredSamantha's POV“Sam, wake up,” I heard Nita call me. I slowly opened my eyes and sat on my bed, still sleepy.“Nita, what is it? It's the weekend.

Chapter One Hundred-Eighteen: His Cold Gaze"You know what? Let's just forget about what happened earlier. Come on, it's my treat today. You can pick whatever you want, guys," Jane said while we were in the mall."You said that, so I will literally get the expensive one," Anna said while walking through the store. I chuckled. It had been years since this happened before. She made us choose whatever we wanted, and she'd pay for it. But this time, it's different. The prices are higher than before."I mean just five things that catch your attention," she chuckled. We followed Anna into the bag store. She was choosing one of the bags that was released last week."Guys, I think we should all buy our bags. Besides, it's Jane who's going to pay for it," Anna chuckled. I was hesitant to do what she wanted because I didn't have much money today. Mom and Dad haven't sent me my allowance yet, but I understand them."Sam, come on!" she grabbed our hands.

I'm glad she is fine now."Thank you," I smiled and walked towards Nita. She's still sleeping; she hasn't woken up."I'm sorry, Nita. This is all my fault," I said while holding her hand. How could Andrew do this to her? He knew Nita.I wiped my tears as my phone rang, and I answered it."Sam? Are you okay, baby?" Dad asked me worriedly.

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Two: I'll Stay HereSamantha's POVAfter they visited us at the hospital, they went home since it was getting dark. I was left here alone. I thought he was coming back? Why isn’t he here yet?I sighed and tried to keep myself busy. I opened my phone while lying on the couch when I received a call from an unknown number. I thought it was Diego, so I answered it.“What is it?” I asked. No one responded. My forehead creased as I waited for a reply.
