I gradually opened my eyes to notice I wasn't lying in my bed. The first thing to come into my view were a bunch of bouquets lying beside my foot. There were different tubes connected to my body. And then, there was a beeping sound making its way to my ears from a machine on my left.

Oh, I get it. I'm in a hospital. Thanks to Rebecca and Chase, every single bone in my body aches. I tried moving my hand but it was in someone's grasp. I turned my head to the right and believe me when I say, I felt as if my heart was about to leap out of my chest.

There, sleeping soundly on a chair was Kyle. He looked so HOT in that black button down shirt. His head was resting peacefully on the side of my bed, whilst his hands were protectively wrapped around mine.

In that moment, I loved him. But it couldn't last for long.

Because all that had happened to me came rushing back. Rebecca asked me to stay away from Kyle, but I refused. And I got my lesson. Yep, I made a mistake and now I'm facing the consequences by lying in a hospital.

Note to self in the future: Always listen to what Rebecca says, or you'll get sexually harassed by one of her minions.

I had no other option, except staying away from Kyle. Who knows, next time I might end up dead. Even it broke me from the inside, I knew, that if I stay with him anymore, Rebecca's probably gonna get me raped. I couldn't risk losing my virginity now could I?

Moreover, my whole life is filled with the people I loved and lost. I'm a girl who was abandoned by her parents. Left alone to rot in hell by the only people she truly loved. Whose mom ran away with some guy,  not caring what her daughter have to go through. A mom, who never looked back on the life she left behind, the daughter she abandoned to crumble to pieces.

And my father, well, no one can say he's any better. Instead of being there for me through this crucial time, instead of helping me deal with the cruelness of life, he was heartbroken that his one true love took him forsaken and as time passed, it took him to a completely different state to start a new life. Atleast, he didn't completely marooned me, like my mother, or should I even call her that. He keeps sending me money to fullfill my needs, but money doesn't buy the happiness you get by spending time with your family.

After all this, I built walls around me. I pushed out everyone, my friends, my classmates, my therapist, everyone. I was and am afraid that if I let anyone in now, my heart will end up getting crushed.

But I couldn't tell Kyle all this. I had to make up an excuse. And that excuse was waiting in my mind, ready to burst out. Still mourning over everything, I woke Kyle up.
