Who do I trust

The first morning

Picture this, living in a penthouse without blinders, when the morning's sun rays shine, they first rise and hit your side face. You wake up in a jolly mood and all your nose can smell is the life around you, the plants look more greener and the breakfast is being prepared in the kitchen, whether it's by your mom, dad or partner and the only thing left is to take a shower before going to feast... That was the first good dream I had ever since the days I've been kidnapped, before today I would dream of a man constantly chasing me and shooting me down.

The room we were held in was no ideal place to think about life, but it gave you the opportunity to think about what can happen next. I was dragged out of my sleep by a harsh pull to my shoulder, when I gained consciousness my mind thought of Gustavo and I quickly jumped to my feet before I could really see who was harshly shaking my shoulder.

When I looked in front of me it was only Jennifer, she gave me a smug and said "are you taking beauty sleeps angel?"

I looked back at the door and it seem like it was raining last night because the hallway was flooded and some of the water was making it's way under the door, I continued looking around and realized that Katherine was laying in the pond of water without noticing it, I quickly gazed back at myself but I was dry, although the floor had sketched marks in my arms and thighs because of sleeping on it, Ms October was no where to be found on the floor, I was surprised on where she had gone, did they take her last night while we were asleep? I started asking myself. Jennifer could see the state of "worriedness" and being confused in my face expression she then said "don't you know it's rude for someone to start a conversation and you just look around without talking back? I know what you want, you want your Ms October right? You should start playing chess to open your mind, or maybe something better; eat carrots! she is right on the bed we said no one could sleep on, she violated the only rule and I woke you to tell you that i want to beat her up, she can't disrespect us like this. Jennifer's actions and tone of voice felt and looked like the same attitude strict parents give to their children, I thought she was playing at first until she started approaching Katherine then jumped over her as she was sleeping on the cold floor, her upper body had turned pale, wet and her face was bruised. Not by fists or anything like that, but by the harsh conditions we were exposed to. Grace seemed to have a good sleep on that bed as Jennifer got closer she looked back at me, maybe she was testing me, maybe she wanted to see the miles I would go to protect the ones I love and care about; "i thought". She saw how cosy we were last night. As my thoughts were racing, a loud slap landed on Grace's side face and she woke up on a quick reflex as her instincts kicked in and she pushed Jennifer back, I was shooked, I didn't think Jennifer would go with her plan and implement it, my legs started moving towards them, I tripped over Katherine and fell to my knees, I then quickly picked myself up and proceeded passing, heading towards Jennifer to defend Grace. Jennifer looked back towards me and said "I can take on the both of you" by that time I was near Grace and had decided to push her to my back to protect her from Jennifer. Jennifer then shouted "in this movie hero's die" when I stared behind Jennifer, Katherine was getting up, I think I woke her up after tripping over her, She then started shouting "stop fighting, look at my body, who tripped over me?"

The noise Katherine made alerted Gustavo, I heard the sound of the door opening in fast motion and banging on the hard wall the a gun coming in head first being held facing the floor.

"What's this commotion all about? Elanzo love violence but he hates useless noise, especially if there's no killing" said Gustavo and he was walking slowly towards us.

"It's Jennifer, she was trying to beat up Grace, I was asleep but it is definitely her fault, she's stubborn" said Katherine.

"Are you a retard or something? Can't you see that the question was rhetorical?" Asked Gustavo. As Katherine and Gustavo were exchanging words I was locking eyes with Jennifer awaiting her to do something, 3 girls were once raped from our school and the #SaveAGirl movement came in support, I am not a fighter but I learnt a few basic self-defense moves after the incident in order to defend myself, I was ready for Jennifer's next move, as I was starring into her eyes and

Gustavo's presence had made her to shiver, I think she was trying to back down...but before anything else Gustavo quickly wrapped his torsos around Jessica's neck, she kicked a few times and was falling into a state of unconsciousness as Gustavo pulled her towards the hallway, the then said "Eli, I will bring you breakfast, you need something to eat" he then locked the door and continued to head out. Jennifer then said "It's my fault, I shouldn't have told on her" Grace responded "if ot wasn't for you, maybe she would have hurt someone, whatever happens to her is her fault" a few seconds later the door unlocked and Gustavo appeared with 3 plates of the grossest breakfast I have ever seen, the first spoon made me want to puke, it has been days since I last ate something, I needed to eat to gain back the weight I have lost, I started digesting while imagining eating "beacon, eggs, bread & drinking coffee. That made me to

be able to swallow the next spoon, but the spoon as I swallowed became heavier and my eyes fell into a blurrier state, I looked around and Katherine with Grace had already passed out, Gustavo appeared and said "you're tough, that's why I like you, don't fight it, let it kick in and you will love the experience" the spoon hit the concrete and then i slowly fell unconscious.
