"My yesterdays walk with me.
They keep step, they are gray faces
that peer over my shoulder."

Vicky's POV
"Margaux," I tried to pull myself back together. I needed to be strong. I could feel my spirit slowly departing from my body again, leaving me like a dead- lifeless inside. I don't want to live like that again. Cold, emotionless, and dead - inside. Closing my eyes, I summoned all my strength to face the truth, even if it hurts like hell. Like a knife starting to cut my flesh and leaving me bleeding. "Yes, he is the father, but he doesn't know," I confirmed, my voice softening.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry. I'm really sorry, Vi. I was such an idiot. I'm really sorry," she rambled her apologies.
"It's alright, Margaux. Just do me a favor please, for old times sake. Alexandrous or any of my family knows nothing about it. I don't want anyone to find out. Please let's keep it buried," I said almost sounding pleading.
"Yes, of course. I will zip my mouth and never reveal it."
I sighed in relief, but my heart still feels heavy. My head unconsciously wandered to the day I found out I was carrying a child. That accident that led me to the real truth.
"Vi, Vi..." I hear a mumbling voice calling out my name but I ignored it. I was so sleepy and my eyelid felt so heavy, plus the comfort of the soft bed just made it harder for me to open my eyes. Then a hard shake on my shoulder jolted me up and before my eyes, Margaux in her small towel wrapped around her body with her hair still damp, her lips curled into a snarl.
"If you don't get your ass in that washroom in a second, then you are going to be late, missy," she scolded me and then she march to her drawers and started changing.
I scrambled to the washroom, scratching my eyes trying to wake them up and grab my pink towel sitting on the chair just close my drawer and headed to the washroom.
Margaux smiled at me and I smiled back before entering the washroom. I quickly hand the towel on the hook close to the sliding door of the shower and hurriedly undress. Tossing the dirty clothes to the hamper that has my name on it besides Margaux hamper, I step into the shower, closing the sliding door close.
As soon as the water was set to the desired temperature, I turned on the shower head and back away, but then I lost my balance. The floor was slippery and with a scream I fell on my butt, my hands flung onto the sides, and I felt everything spins. I tried to sit up, but my back hurts especially my bum.
I cried in pain as I felt the burning sensations shooting in my body coming from my back. "What happened?" Margaux frantically slides the shower door open and hovered over me. My tears blurring my vision.
"Oh my God!" Margaux screams. I shut my eyes as the pain kept heightening and I felt nauseous already.
"It hurts!" was all I said as I cried.
"You are bleeding," she said terrified. "Hang on, I'll call a help!" she quickly scrambles out of the washroom and came back talking on the phone.
"Please, now," she cried out as she holds my hand to try to help me up, but I wince and screams in protest when the pain shoots all over my body.
