Turns out I will be down for a couple of weeks, you are stuck taking care of me" I said to Roman as he placed me on the couch like I requested, to be honest, I had been exaggerating at first, I thought it was just a sprained ankle and I claimed it was broken, I didn't feel much pain, only for us to get to the hospital for it to actually be a broken leg. It should have hurt like a bitch but it was just a small sting. I was given a pair of crutches, I have never used one before in my entire lifetime. "Drugs make me feel fuzzy" I whispered "yes, I guess as much considering the fact that you were speaking incoherently throughout our drive home" he replied. "Anna, are you okay?!" Matilda asked. They had gathered around me the moment Roman laid me down, even Amelia. I replied her by nodding. I sat up. The others didn't say anything, but I could see the concern on their faces, especially Grace, her nose was all scrunched up and there were lines on her forehead. "Roman, look, a puppy" I pointed in a specific direction. Sitting there was a white squiggly dog with black eyes "there's nothing there Anna" he replied me "She's been like that since she was injected" he turned to the girls. It was then I heard a loud bang, and on hearing that sound, they all scurried off except Roman. Turns out it was Ronin.

"Oh my God, you are in trouble Roman" I whispered to him, well, I thought I did, but I wasn't even facing Roman, and I wasn't whispering either. "What happened?!" Ronin asked angrily as he bent down to examine me all over. I tried telling him what happened and I thought I was making sense, but my version of the story was filled with unicorns and rainbows. I was paying less attention to them. The images in front of me were cartoon characters having a conversation about glitters and cinnamon cookies. The two doesn't correlate, but winnie the pooh and cinderella were making quite a convenient conversation with the topic at hand. "Any one crave cinnamon glitter cookies?!" I asked, and tried to stand up but was pushed back down by Ronin. I couldn't have made it up either, my leg was broken, and it had a cast around it. "I mean look at her" that was when I was brought back to reality and tried focusing on the conversation those two were having "I know that and I am sincerely sorry, but none of this is my fault Raptor, if there is someone to blame, its you. Just you. I was simply following orders. You asked me to shun her, I did. And see where that ended" he gestured to all of me "so if there is someone to point the accusing finger at, its you. If you never came up with that idiotic idea, she would be fine, and I should have never listen to you either ways. Do you know how difficult it was watching her cry or seeing the hurt in her face cause she thought I was ignoring her cause of a stupid beating. She didn't do so well and I hated myself and every minute I put her through that hell" "Just shut the fuck up okay, fine, its my mistake and I accept it, But" that was all I heard before I drifted to sleep. I wanted to talk, I even wanted to be angry but I didn't have the energy. Ronin lied to me.

I woke up and the drug had worn off. I remembered the conversation between Roman and Ronin. I saw my crutches at the end of the couch and I grabbed them. It took me forever to get up. It is gonna need a lot of getting used to. Edith came out of nowhere "Mrs Contreras what are you doing, you need to rest" she said warily "do you know where Ronin is?!" I asked "Umm, yes, he is in, the no trespassing room" she replied describing the room with the red door. We all have our names for it, and thats just what she calls it "when he gets out, tell him to meet me in the living room, I need to have an important discussion with him" I told her "Okay, just go and sit down" she assisted me back to the couch I stood up from "I would bring dinner" she added and I nodded in reply. Some parts of me hurt, including my heart, only that that of my heart wasn't a physical pain. He lied to me. He said he had nothing to do with it. He was the reason behind my misery all this while.
