All those voices ringing in ears made me furious, I closed my eyes and I screamed,
'Ahhhh!'
Everything blacked out...
Suddenly all the voices stopped and I opened my eyes and I again faced a great source of light illuminated on me. I narrowed my eyes to protect them, after some seconds my eyes got adjusted to the lights and the surroundings. Now I could see some people standing and looking at me. I was lying on the bed and then I realized I was wearing an oxygen mask.
What the hell is happening here? Am I in the hospital? But why?
I wide opened my eyes to look clearly what the hell was happening. As I opened them I saw mom, Anna, Aunt Margret, and the doctor standing. I opened up my lips which got stick with each other. I gathered my all energy to say,
'Am I at the hospital?' But it turned out to be a whisper.
I sighed in frustration. Am I this much weak that I can't even speak properly I thought? Suddenly mom started to cry, aunt Merilyn, aunt Margret, and Anna were all happy but their eyes were wet.
The doctor quickly got me rid of the oxygen mask which was a bit troubling for me. Mom leaned towards me and said,
'Sweetie, how are you feeling?'
'I...I am go..good.' I whispered again though I tried to speak clearly.
Gosh! anyone, please help me, I don't wanna whisper again. I was frustrated.
I tried to get up but my head hurt,
'Ah!' I exclaimed.
'Keep laying girl you're not fully recovered right now.' Said the doctor.
And I laid back down again, I was too weak. Just I like I was two years back then. I can't handle this weakness anymore, I'm fed up with people caring for me. I was afraid that I'll be isolated in my house again.
I looked around the whole room and realized that it was a bright morning today. I felt a bit cold winter was about to come in a week...

Here, after Ray locked Cally in the room He met Lisa on his way to his cabin.
'Woah! What's wrong with the expressions when I have a piece of good news?' Lisa asked casually.
'Nothing, you say what good news.' Ray said and sighed as to control his anger.
'Aye! I can see, something is bugging you. Isn't it?' She said.
Ray gave no reply to her, he just kept standing.
'Fine! If you don't wanna talk, Imma goes somewhere now.' She said and started walking.
'I'll accompany it.' Ray said quickly.
'One condition...'
'Accepted!' He exclaimed and started walking with her.
'Wait! Don't wanna listen to it.' She said and stopped in between.
'I know.' Ray said and her arm and dragged her.

'Why? Wait!! Sarah woke up!!' Ray asked and smiled a hopeful smile.

At the hospital when Sarah and Anna sat in the hospital room, while everyone was out of eating.
Anna was trying to make Sarah eat porridge which she hates a lot.
'How many days have been past?' asked Sarah to Anna.
'Two days and freaked all of us out.' Said Anna and started laughing.
'You again stopped eating?' Said Anna and Sarah added a spoonful of porridge in her already full mouth.
She was eating and eating and suddenly a thought made her stop eating, she shifted all the food on one side of the cheek and said,
'Two days? Oh My God!!'
'What happened?' Asked Anna in confusion.
'I missed the office for more than two days without any prior information Mr. Niall will kill me.' Said Sarah and covered her face with her hands.
'Why would he? He was the most worried one here. Moreover, he was the one who bought you here.' Said Anna.
'He brought me here?' Said Sarah.
And suddenly she remembered what had happened back then. She got lost in her thoughts. Her concentration broke when Anna flicked her finger in front of her eye.
'Miss. Where are you lost?' She said and Sarah looked at her in confusion.
Anna raised her eyebrows in the hope that she'll get an answer. Sarah shook her head and said,
'No, nothing.'
'By the way, may I ask you a question?' Sarah asked being a bit hesitant.
'Hmm...go ahead.' Replied Anna.
'Was he really, as in for me, not for his work?' She asked.
'He was worried about you, I guess.' Said Anna and she stood up.
'Really? But how do you know?' Sarah asked again.
'No. More. Questions.' Said Anna and started to collect all her things from the side table of Sarah's hospital bed.
'Where you're going leaving me alone?' Sarah said with puppy eyes.
'My teachers didn't bring me here at the hospital and helped me to get recovered they don't even know where the hell I am, they'll scold me if I'll go tomorrow.' Anna said
And finally after collecting all her things like books that she had bought and her phone she said,
'You have to eat the whole bowl.'
'But I don't like this....'
'And don't talk much. You chatterbox. Take some rest.' Sarah was interrupted by Anna.
Just after saying this Anna left the room. Sarah was all alone now until someone opened the door. It was Anna,
'By the way, nice to see you all good.'
And she left again.

Here Emma had puffed eyes cause she wasn't able to sleep last night properly. How could she had, she was crying the whole dusk. And she was still sobbing. After all, she had got to know something, something which made her guilty.
Last night...
She was at home doing dishes and suddenly her dad called her. She went running cause the way he had called Emma wasn't a good sign of his mood.
She went there and saw Jeremy already standing there. He had covered his eye with an ice pack and there was cotton covering his nostril. While his forehead, his forehead was still bleeding a bit.
'I told you not to leave him alone!!!' He yelled and Emma shivered.
He scored her to the topmost level of his screaming and made Emma cry. After all those scoldings she went into her room. This time was no gift or no letter for her as sympathy. She cried all night remembering those days when her mother was alive and she missed her a lot.
As the sun rose and filled her room with its radiance she woke up. She realized that she had slept for a bit while crying. She stood up and saw a letter on her table.
'Happy birthday Emma,
Might be thinking how I know, well I know everything. I even know that your dad scolded you last night too. And I also know that it was because of that jerk. Well, I'm finding a way to get you out of here and I'll soon rescue you. By the way, your birthday present is in the drawer of your dressing table. Take a look at it, if you liked it then do wear it to tell me about how my choice is. I hope you're smiling right now.....'
