(THURSDAY EVENING)I opened my eyes and the first person I saw was senior Asher....I felt quite disappointedNot that I didn't appreciate it, honestly, I was happy I woke up to meet someone I just felt like I wanted someone else...Maybe senior David or Dora!"Heyy...easy there! Are you okay?" Asher asked l"Where am I?" I held my head due to the pounding migraine and soreness I was feeling in me and sat up"Chill, you're in the hospital...."That's when I remembered why happened, I was beaten up and I wanted to run away before I got hit by a car.....who the heck brought me here?It's better to be dead than being alive to face my fears again...and if I ever get out of this hospital alive, I am not stepping my foot back into that forsaken home again!!"What day is it today?" I asked"Today is Thursday....thursday evening, you've been knocked out for two whole days straight!" He said'Two days?' I whisperedHe gave me a smug smile and picked up something from the s

He said and I noddedI wanted to catch him unaware and speak up but his phone vibrated and it was ringing....I looked at the name of the caller...KEYISHA with a blue love emoji attached to the name"I gotta go now!"

DAVID-----(MONDAY AFTERNOON)I didn't want to go anywhere apart from my own house.... I didn't want to hang out with my friends, neither did I even want to see my mom. I just wanted to see Crystal, I needed to be there with her, and it's just like she read my mind, she didn't come to school today.I switched off my phone to avoid any unnecessary calls and messages from any oneI didn't even let her know I was coming, it's my house after all.....I can go in and out anytime I wantI parked the car and headed straight upstairs to her room, the door was partly opened and I prevented from entering as soon as I heard a careless whisperI thought I heard her say something.....Who am I kidding? She doesn't speak. Jeez!! Must've been my inner self making me think she talkedShe grunted and huffed loudly"Should I tell him or not?" She asked herselfI was fully convinced she talked, my mind can't be playing mind games at times like this with me. Her voice sounded so angelic and broken at the

ASHER-----(WEDNESDAY NIGHT)My dad was pacing up and down the whole sitting room, worry and anxiety crashing through him over and over again.Mirian and her mom were seated on the long white couch while Mikel was upstairs in my room.Maimunat was rather restless standing by the staircase with guilt written all over her face.....Sirens sound was heard outside as reporters and journalist were patiently waiting for any moment someone will step out of the door....just so that they can get any possible news and informationPolicemen were sophisticatedly guarding round the whole house, both inside and outside.

I looked at my hand and clothes as a little blood stained on them.....I dropped the stone immediately and sat on the grass again. I was too stressed outMy eyes stung, my heels hurt, my feet were chapped and my throat was already processing a lump, I began to cry......hot tears!I couldn't close my eyes till it was becoming dark outside, I stared at my wrist watch, hugging myself till it was almost nine o'clockMy phone pinged in my pocket and I almost ran away from the spot....how on earth did I forget I had a phone with me to call someone??I brought it out and scrolled down to see the notification.....it was a message'Luckily for you, my David is not in his house with you!
