Without being told Maria knew why Max was acting different, she could remember her words yesterday morning and she felt bad about it. As she sat in the sitting room she heard a strong knock on the door she was startled

“Do you want to break down my door?” she yelled as she walked to the door and opened it to she Yvonne

“Yvonne?” Maria said and Yvonne quickly ran into the house before she could say another word. Maria was surprised at this attitude

“Yvonne what is it again?” Maria said coming inside to sit down; Yvonne rested her head on the arm of the chair

“Yvonne talk to me”

“There’s a big problem” Yvonne said raising her head

“Ok, what has he done again?” Maria asked

“Its not about that faggot” she said loudly

“Ok relax”

“No I cant” she replied as she was sweating

“Ok talk na”

“A piece of paper just keeps following me around, even after I asked somebody to burn it, it came back to life” Yvonne said and Maria just stared at her in silence. The only thing Maria could think of was taking her to a psychiatrist.

“Maria say something” Yvonne said

“What do you want me to say? Oh or you want me to say its ok just shoot the fucking paper”

“What are you saying Maria”

“No Yvonne I should be the one asking you that. What the fuck are you saying?

“My Life is at stake here” Yvonne said

“Yeah its hanging from a paper, right?” Maria said

“Stop it”

“Ok, calm down and tell me, what is it?”

“Alright” Yvonne then narrated everything to Maria from how she got in the hotel to how she got here

“Well, that will make a good movie” Maria said

“Why are you fucking with my life” Yvonne said

“Ok sorry, but are you sure its not a dream”

“Ok look stop it, ok?” Yvonne said

“Alright, how the hell did you get in it? Did you do any supernatural activity or what?

“Of cause not, you know I don’t believe such shit”

“Even with what’s happening now?” Maria asked

“Well, I don’t know what to do” Yvonne said

“Good then, that guy is an Angel” Maria said

“What? Angel? Please be real” Yvonne said

“This is the point you believe anything, babe” Maria said

“Whatever” Yvonne said and looked on the floor and suddenly screamed

“What is it?” Maria was startled

“That is the paper” She yelled pointing to the floor, Maria saw the paper

“What? That’s nothing” Maria said going closer

“No, don’t touch it” Yvonne yelled

“Its nothing” Maria picked it up and opened it and saw a phone number on it

“Its just a…” before Maria could speak Yvonne had fainted

“Oh my God Yvonne!” Maria yelled and ran to Yvonne who had fainted

“Yvonne! Yvonne!! Oh my God”…

Yvonne opened her eyes gradually, she was weak, where she laid felt soft, she looked beside her and knew that she was in a hospital with a drip pipe flowing and connected to the hand. She was feeling sleepy, the door opened and she turned to look at who and saw a very handsome white fellow who sat beside her bed, he was putting on a white shirt and black trousers, she was weak and sleepy she was thinking if it was a dream

“Hello there, don’t be afraid” he said smiling

“Who are you” she said in a weak voice as her eyes weaken

“I’m your friend, I’m here to help” he said

“Help? Help do what?” she asked

“Relax, you need to clear your mind first” he said and touched her forehead head and she slept off…

When she opened her eyes again she saw Maria, Audrey and a doctor

“What am I doing here? Why am I so weak” Yvonne asked

“Relax honey everything is fine now” Audrey said touching Yvonne’s hair

“Can you guys stop saying that, I feel my head dizzy and I feel so sick” she said

“Yvonne, you have a high fever” the doctor said

“What fever? Is that why you put me on drip?” she asked

“I think you are giving yourself too much worries” Maria said

“No am not… you guys should just stop… I am not a baby”

“Relax” Maria said

“A man came here and sat beside me, I didn’t know him” she said

“No man came here, Yvonne” the doctor said

“No I saw a white man and good looking, the most handsome thing I have ever seen” Yvonne said, Maria and Audrey looked at each other

“Yvonne you are imagining things” the doctor said

“No am not” she said then removed the drip pipe in her hand

“No don’t do that” the doctor said holding her down

“Let go I'm fine” she said

“Alright” the doctor helped her sit down

“I want to leave” she said

“No Yvonne you cant” Maria said

“What? You are not my mama” Yvonne said

“Don’t worry she is good… if she wants to go that’s fine” the doctor said

“So she doesn’t need to stay one more day” Maria said

“No, I’ll just prescribe some drugs for her to take” he said

“Thank you” Yvonne said standing up and looked at herself

“Who changed my clothes?” she asked

“I did” the doctor said, her mouth fell open

“You’ve got to be kidding” she said

“Yvonne what’s the problem?” Audrey said

“You know what girls? I am out of here” she walked away—Yvonne was naturally dramatic and sturbborn

They walked out of the room and to the reception, the doctor gave Maria some drugs for Yvonne and they left the hospital, got into Maria’s car

“I want to sit at the back” Yvonne said

“Whatever you want” Maria said and opened the back seat for her. Audrey sat in front with Maria who drove the car

“How long did I stay in that hospital?” Yvonne said

“Just one day” Maria said driving

“What? A whole 24hours?”

“Yeah” Maria said

“Where’s Rachael?” Yvonne asked

“Rachael left some minutes ago” Audrey said

“Where are we going now?” Yvonne asked

“My place” Maria said “Anymore question madam" Maria asked, Audrey chuckled

After 3mins

“I don’t understand what’s happening to me” Yvonne said

“You will be fine dear” Maria said

“You shouldn’t have told them” a voice said beside her and she was startled

“You? How did you get in here?” Yvonne said

“Who are you talking to?” Maria said and in the blink of an eye he had disappeared

“I hum I just saw him now” Yvonne said looking confused

“You need some rest” Audrey said

“No, I did see him”

“Have you ever heard of hallucinations?” Audrey asked Yvonne

After 10mins of driving they arrived at Maria’s place

“Home sweet home” Yvonne said and sat down on the sofa and relaxed

“I’ll prepare something in the kitchen” Maria said going to the kitchen

“Please my bag, I need to take something” Yvonne said

“I’ll get it for you” Maria said and went upstairs and came back with the bag

“Here” Maria gave her the bag

“Thanks love”

Audrey grabbed the TV remote and turned on the TV and tuned to E! Her favourite reality show was on “keeping up with the Kardashians” Maria walked back to the kitchen. Yvonne sat up and opened her bag and brought out her car key and put it in her pocket; she was putting on a black jeans and a white top; she then put her phone too

“Are you going somewhere?” Audrey said

“I just want to go for a stroll”

“Hell no, you just came back from a hospital” Audrey said

“Look I…. Jesus Christ” Yvonne yelled and jumped up

“What’s that?” Audrey asked

“That is the monster that wants to kill me” Yvonne yelled as she pointed behind Audrey, Audrey looke back in fear then Yvonne ran off

“There’s nothing” she said looking back with fear, before she knew it Yvonne was out

“What’s the shouting” Maria said running out of the kitchen

“Its Yvonne, she just ran off”

“Oh no” Maria said and ran outside but Yvonne had already gotten into her car and she drove off

“Yvonne wait, stop… I think she is going insane" Maria shouted but she drove away…
