Y/n's Pov

I'm sitting over at the school's cafeteria with Amelia sitting across the table for lunch. "I mean, why do you think she would do that?" I question Amelia, who instantly pays attention to me. She chews her food first before answering.

"I don't know, girl. I mean, you kind of did push her away... but it still doesn't explain why she would decide that in a haste." She points out her opinion, which only leaves me sighing.

"I think y'all should both go to an advisor or a love doctor or something. Y'all both don't understand love and how to love one another. Y'all are just confused. It's like the only thing the both of you focus on is trying to prove yourselves right instead of trying to understand each other. And sweetheart,  that's not a healthy relationship." She again leaves me speechless.

But she's not lying, though. "I think it's my fault... look... I have never been in a relationship with a girl before, and I just... I don't know." I sadly lay my head down on the table.

"No, Y/n... don't beat yourself up about this... you are not at fault at all. Nor is Bada. I think yall both just have problems with trusting people in general. It's not even about the trust between you two." She tries to reassure me. It did make me feel a little bit better. It's just a tiny bit.

"We should get to class." I said, avoiding talking further on this topic. Amelia checks her wristwatch and nods. We both grab our bags and head out.

While walking down the hallway, I remember something that I haven't told Amelia about yet.

"Oh- I almost forgot to tell you. My mom is coming today. I'm so happy. I haven't seen her in so long." I said as a smile grew on my face. We open the door and see that there's no one yet. We are 15 minutes early.

"Oh. That's awesome. I'll finally get to meet her." She jumps in excitement. She's happier than I am, for sure.

We both make our way to our seats, and before we even continue our conversation...Bada and Tatter walk in. Bada immediately looks up as if she knew I'd be here... our eyes meet, and they linger for a short minute until I break it by looking away.

While that is going on, my phone rings. I checked to see who's calling, and I saw it's my mom. A smile instantly creeps up on my face. I happily answer the call.

Me: Mom! Hey!

Mom: Y-Y/N!!! DON'T- D-

Panic arises in me, and I see myself standing up from my seat immediately. And from the corner of my eye, I could see Amelia standing up and Bada and Tatter exchanging confused glances as they slowly walked towards us.

Me: M-mom? Mom! What happened?

Mom: Y-y/n listen to me... Do.Not.Leave.There. stay there, please...

Me: Mom, you're scaring me. What happened?

I felt tears building up I my eyes and my heart pounding intensely.

Mom: Listen... just don't leave there. I'm coming now, please d-....(screams)

beep beep beep

Me: M-mom? Mom? MOM! HELLO?? MOM??!

"Oh my God." I quickly pack my stuff, I'm not even able to think straight. "Y/n, what are you doing? Where are you going?" Amelia questions me. I look at her, and I see her face softens as she sees the tears in my eyes.

"I-I h-have to go,... M-my m-mom... Amelia. I don't know... I'm scared." I break down as I use the desk to for balance. Students start coming into the classroom. Bada moves closer to me and touches my shoulder. "We need to leave from here. She's in no state to stay here." She says to Amelia and Tatter, who nods instantly.

I start feeling myself having a panic attack. "Y/n?...y/n??! Tatter moves the students out of the way." Bada says as I feel her arms engulf my knees from the back as she carries me in bridal style. "Alright, people.... move out the way.... I SAID MOVE!!!" I hear Tatter say and people's feet moving faster.

Bada manages to leave the classroom with me in her arms. She walks towards the nearby bench and places me there. "Y/n? Try to breathe, please..." She tries calming me down. "I'll go get water." Amelia says as I see her running to get water. "My m-mom, Bada... my mom... she's in danger... I heard her s-scream...." I managed to say.

"Tatter, please go start the car." Bada asks Tatter, and she nods and runs towards the exit. I felt Bada's hands on my cheek, which made me look up to meet her eyes as I felt myself getting better.  "She'll be okay...don't worry. I won't let anything happen to her."

Okay, she's confusing me right now. I frown at her words, and curiosity hits me. "Why are you doing this?" I question her. She looks at me confused by my words. "What do you mean?" She questions me back. I roll my eyes. "Don't act dumb with me. Why are you trying to help me and my mom, whereas you tried killing her before?" I said, gritting my teeth.

She sighs as she looks away as she looks at me. "Y/n.... look, we don't have to speak about this here. But all I can say as of now is that I have never tried to kill your mom. Not before, not now and not ever. You can even ask her yourself if you want. But right now , I need to get you home." She says, which causes my face to soften.

"Okay." I said in a whisper. And before I know it, someone hits Bada's head, and she grunts and falls unconscious immediately. "B-BADA!!" Before I could get to her, someone grabbed my neck aggressively from behind, and I felt a cloth covering my mouth and nose.

??? : goodnight, sweetheart.

And everything goes black.
