Before you read this chapter, just so you know I'm no doctor I'm no detective or police, I don't know much about writing action fiction because this is not the main genre of the book anyway. Sorry if it's not as good as those crime novels also sorry if there any information that doesn't make sense (it's fiction after all), I'm new to this.

Enjoy!

***********

I tried so hard to open my eyes, but I can't. My eyes felt so heavy right now. Once again I tried to open it with my full strength and finally my eyelids opened. I can see the white walls surrounded me, the authentic scent of the hospital filled up my nostrils right away. There stood a nurse with a clipboard on his hand, checking on the IV fluids pack that hung beside my bed.

"Finally, you woke up! Let me call the doctor so they can run test on you." The nurse said before making his way out of the room. Not long after that he came back with a doctor.

"Good evening Adeline, how are you feeling?" Her soft voice rung in my ears. I just shrugged in response. "We found out that you were in dehydration which caused you a black out, now we have to run some test to check on your condition."

"Hmm, okay." My voice was weak. They helped me out of the bed (which then I flinched every time they put a hand on my arms or waist) into the wheelchair before the nurse pushed the wheelchair out of the room with me on it. I could see several people waiting outside the room, there were Ezra, Edwin, and Ansley. They all looked so worried when they saw me, I just gave them a weak smile before we turned left to another hallway.

After a row of tests, the nurse finally took me back to the room. He helped me back to the bed then he put a tray of food in front of me. I don't know why, I always like any kind of food even hospital food. Every time my family members got sick and have to stay in hospital, they usually don't eat the food the hospital gave, so I'll be the one who eat it all. I know I'm weird. But this time, I lose all my appetite, even if someone came in and brought me my favorite food... I don't think I'll eat it.

"Here's the food, eat  at least a bit of it. The doctor will came by with your test results." He said before leaving the room.

For a while I just stare at the food and think. I mean that's what I always do on daily basis, overthinking. If Ezra was in here, he will probably try to fed me and if I don't want it he will try to do something sweet and cute so I'll eat it, if Edwin or Zion in here or the Bruno twins, oh god, they'll they'll probably do something funny that make me laugh, if the girls in the crew were in here they'll probably spilling tea everywhere as they wait for me to eat those food. (What if Nick was here?) He'll probably get so frustrated at me if he found out I didn't eat those food or I don't know, if it was his wise hours, then he'll probably say harsh truths that made me ended up eating the food.

I miss my friends, but I know for sure I can't get involved in whatever the crew was involved in, anymore. If my mom knew about this, she will definitely find me a new place to stay so I won't live with Nick anymore, and my brother will beat the shit out of Nick. I can't let them know about this.

"Adeline! Sweetheart." I turned my head to the door and see my mom and Ava, making themselves in."Ezra called us, telling us about what happened to you."

"Yeah and I never knew Nick has a hidden motive all these times." Ava said as she sit on the couch beside my bed. I just looked at her in confusion, "Ezra told us that Nick was behind all of these since he doesn't want any police to get involved."

"Even Nick is my best friend's son, from now on, you're going to move out of that apartment. That boy is nothing but a trouble." My mom said sternly. If this was Adeline from months ago, she will gladly move out, hearing that sentence comes out of her mom's mouth will be a blessing. But now, there is this strange feeling that she felt that caused tears to leave her eyes. She wanted to fight back but she's still too weak.
