"My life is a lie, a dark place," Alyssa Pearson said, looking up at the sky with a heavy sigh. The weight of her existence was suffocating her.
"You are in a safe place, Alyssa. This is your home, and your life is as real as you are." He reassured...

We aren't the same people, not anymore.
It's funny how one night can change your whole life. One moment of stupidity, one negligent act and different lives are ruined. One accident that led to such a mess.
I'm not the same, she is someone else. She doesn't even remember me or anything from her past. She cannot relate me to her life, because she knows nothing about me. To her, I'm a stranger, someone new - someone who let her believe that his name was Kyle, who threatened her best friend right in front of her. I'm the one, the bad person in her life. It was my party where she was humiliated in front of so many people. It was my party, which led her to lose her control and have a seizure. It was all because of me that she had to spend another night in hospital, being clueless about whatever is happening with her.
"Hey, I've got news." Jordan walked to me. "They've decided to drop the case for now."
"What do you mean, for now?" I asked. "Did mom take back her case?"
He shook his head. "Mr. Pearson's advocate handled it well. He filed a countersuit asking for an injunction against your mother's case. He filed the prayer that his client is not well and is going through a mental health issue. He practically bailed her out on her condition."
"Did the judge agree to his pleadings?" I asked. Since Veronica decided to back out, Jordan has been helping me with the news.
"For now. But nobody knows what will happen next." He said. "You know your mother."
I sighed. "She'll do anything to get Alyssa behind bars."
"You have to do something."
I gave him an eye. If I could do anything, I would've done it by now. She would never have to go through everything if I had the power in my hand. But I'm in no position to even stand up for her. I'm stuck between the rivalry of mom with her for no good reason. It bothers me that dad is actually with mom in all of this. He promised Uncle Keith he'd take care of everything.
The only thing that I can do is make sure she is all right. But I cannot be around her, I cannot be with her. This is all fucked up.

It's been a week to the fight scene involving Neil and me, a week of Alyssa's waking up and ignoring me completely. I've to go to school today, as the final results will be declared.
I'm on my way and the only thing that I can think about is what kind of mess will Zoey or Danielle create if either of them won the elections. Once I reached the school area, people were already gathered with banners and flags for their favourite elected student. Most of the hustle was between Danielle and Zoey. These people are stupid if they believe that the new president will work for them the same way the former ones did. They could've chosen a fifth person, but no - all of them crave drama, they need someone to bring down the school. I'm sure both the girls will have a lot of fun today.
