A fall : From where it started

6. The Party

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway.....

I was lost in my sweet dreams when suddenly my phone rang.....Oh god who is going to die now? I directly picked up my phone without even looking who's calling, "Hello?" my voice hoarse.

My eyes suddenly opened on hearing someone's crying I quickly looked at the name it was Stella, "Hello Stella you okay? Why are you crying? Where are you right now?" I panicked and sat on the bed.

"In the city hospital" She replied, I panicked more but didn't push the conversation further and ended the call, then went to washroom quickly washed my face and jumped into my sweatpants grabbed my car keys and left in hurry. My heart was pounding out of my chest while driving, Why is she in the hospital? Is she okay?.

After I reached, I parked my car and ran into the hospital and asked the receptionist about the room. As soon as she told me I ran into the hallway without even thinking, I just barged into the room and saw Josh laying on the bed and crying badly on Stella's shoulder.

He saw me and started crying more. His burnt palms caught my eye, I frowned "What happened?", Stella replied with a hoarse voice "Som-someone sneaked into his room yesterday and did this to him."

I was confused, what is the use of having a muscular body when you can't protect yourself, then I looked at Josh, "Have you seen his face?" Josh looked at me his eyes all teary and swollen "No he was wearing a hoodie"

I hummed then took out my phone and dialed Jake, he quickly picked it up and greeted "Good morning mam".

"Jake I want CCTV footage of the area where Josh was staying" I commanded then hung up the call.

"Who could have done this? and why?" I mumbled.
