Royce's POV

Magenta bailed me out

She was really mad at me

She just wouldn't stop babbling about how I was such an embarassment to our family

"Why did you hit that guy? Seriously! What's your deal? You can't just knock.."

I cut her off

"For god's sake, Magenta! I'll pay you back for all the money you used to bail me out ok?"

"I don't care about that money, Royce! I'm worried about you! You've never done something like this before. What is wrong with you.."

I made the 'zip it' hand gesture

"Just, let me do what I want to to. This is my life. You have no idea what happened, you don't need to know. Please.. Magenta. Mind your damn business. Please understand. I've never tried to stick my head into your problems, right? So if you please?"

She looked at me angrily

"I am your sister! I am responsible to.."

"Magenta, I know that. Yes you are my sister, but please. Just let me decide what I want to do. I'm sorry okay!? I promise I'll pay the money back to you. And thanks for bailing me out"

She looked ahead

She was quiet

We then arrived at the hospital

When I opened the door

She suddenly spoke

"You don't have to pay me back.."

She rubbed my back

"I'm sorry.. I was just worried sick about you.. I'll tell Jerico to get your car and send it back to your house"

I nodded

Jerico was my older brother

Her lips formed into a small smile

I touched her hand

"I'm the one who should apologize. I'm sorry"

I smiled and then rushed into the hospital

I approached the registration

"Sir, are you here for the girl..."

"Yes.. yes.. where is she????"

She looked at me symphatetically and asked a nurse to bring me to Stephanie

She was laying on a stretch bed in the corpse room

But it didn't stink

The room smelled like hand sanitizer

The nurse walked inside then stopped as she reached the stretcher of a female body

No...

She was covered with this white thin blanket

Fully covered

The nurse pulled the blanket, only exposing her face

My heart broke into pieces

I fell on my knees

I burst into tears

I'd rather die than to see her like this
