I did not attend breakfast the next morning nor go for lunch either. My eyes were swollen from crying the previous night and my hair looked like a birds nest. We all depended on Charytin's hair products but since we were many females it wasn't enough. I dragged my lazy self to the washroom and after doing my business went back to bed.

What if, you escort them and once they have departed safely, you can come back" Derek suggested and I couldn't agree more."That'

    TChloe's POVI opened up my eyes to see Derek sitting by the bedside typing on a laptop. I tried to get up but he was quick to stop me. I don't remember how I got to the hospital."You finally awake. You scared me, love" Derek stood next to me, battling whether to touch me or not."Derek? Come sit next to me" I slowly scooted as he sat on the empty spot next to him."The earrings, look good on you" He began and I smiled. I was glad I still had them.As if I remembered, "They....they shot me""Don't worry. You made it!

"How did I get here?' I wondered.My head felt heavy and I could not recall a thing and I wanted to get out as soon as possible. I slowly sat up, ignoring the pain in my arm.
