LORIEL'S POV

I've been observing the changes in Zia. The way she acts, the way she dressed, the way she kept her mouth shut most of the time. Honestly I'm afraid. The first time I saw that bruises on her face I knew something was up. She never spoke to me about it even though I kept asking her what was wrong.

Another thing that seemed suspicious to me is when she entered school with a jacket on. It's too hot for fuck's sake why is she wearing that. Unless she's hiding something under neat that jacket. I never know, she always made a run for it or muttered for me not to touch her.

I felt hurt by her actions. She seemed to be pushing me away, not wanting me close. And if I got nearer and was able to touch her she would flinch as if she is afraid. I sighed.

With a bag of groceries in hand, I walked my way to the boy's dorm. Mrs. Park called me earlier, telling me that she has been worried since Zia left, and for the reason that she had never called. And so her mom asked me to pay her a visit at the dorm with the groceries she bought earlier this morning. She is thinking that maybe Zia isn't eating right and enough, I thought so as well. She looked pale and is getting thinner these days. Considering the bags under her eyes, I wonder if she's able to sleep at night.

Fuck. Why didn't I make a move and investigate earlier?! Even though she didn't want my help she's still my best friend. I wish I have done this sooner,because I never knew if things are getting worst from the moment I saw those bruises.

I arrived in front of the dorm. I take a breath and exhaled to relax myself. Readying myself I push the door bell and waited, but their was no response. I tried again but silence is all that answered me back. 'Did she went out?' I thought to myself.

"Zia!!!" I yelled and knocked on the door, turns out the door creaked open when I knocked. Perhaps she forgot to lock the door. Aishhh! This girl what if something bad happens to her! She'll get a scolding from me.

I entered and close the door behind me, making sure to lock it before entering the living room.

I dropped the groceries as soon as I entered the room. What. The. Fuck. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?!

The whole living room was trashed. A broken vase was on the floor together with tipped bottles of soju, some emptied and some still with half-full with the contents spilled on the floor. Wrappers and all dirtied the room, making it messier. But where is Zia?! Did she drink all these?! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!!!

"ZIA WHERE ARE YOU?!" I checked the kitchen, no sign of her. I chevke the rooms, still nothing. My palms are getting sweaty from the being nervous. I'm worried something might have happened to her. The door is slightly ajar so I gripped on the door knob. I gulped before slowly pushing it open. A sight that frightened me more than I ever experienced before.

Zia was standing on the high chair wearing the rope on her neck with one of her feet dangling on the chair, about to jump off.

Adrenaline rushed over my body and I ran to her. I hugged her legs, causing her to be shocked of my presence.

"W-What are you d-doing here?! L-Let me go Loriel it's b-better this way!" She sobbed hard.

"NO! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME ZIA?!! TAKE THAT OFF!!" I fought back the tears that are threatening to fall at any second, but my lips are quivering in fear.
