Chapter 3

I'm so tired! Yesterday we had so much crowd I can't even-I'm going to cry! I can't even speak my words correctly! I hit something with my foot, and I look down. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT'S B-B-BLOOD?! AN-AN-AND A GIRL?! OH NO! She is bleeding?! I call 911 with shaky hands.

I try to check her heartbeat, the 911 emergency told me that they'll come here as soon as possible. I feel her heart beating. Hopefully, she hasn't lost that much blood. I see glass pieces around her head. SOME PERSON TRIED TO KILL HER WITH A GLASS BOTTLE!

I HEAR A SIREN OF AN AMBULANCE! I didn't know what happened because everything felt...blurry?? They asked me questions like when did you find her lying on the ground or like? I couldn't remember! Gah!

I forgot I have to call Angie! She must have been outside for a long time. She must've got home then. Yesterday, she was so overworked and must be sleeping! I sent her a text message telling her 'I'm worn-out from yesterday, I'm not opening shop today. Take a day off, ok?'

I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Scarlet Danksworth, and I'm an orphan. My surname came from the foundling home I was in before. I'm about 19 years old. I'm a student. In my free time, I like helping this grandma who I live with to run her cafe. I guess it's going to be closed today then.

Are those people who come to grandma's cafe going to be like 'Are they tired? Yes, they should take a break'. I'm probably making up with a conversation with myself while I'm sitting in the hospital near the emergency room.

The surgeon comes out. I stand up. Why is he looking so puzzled? 'Are you the patient's family?' He asked.

'No, I'm her friend' I shouldn't have said that! I should've said acquaintance instead!

'The patient's fine, though there is one thing I'm confused about.'

'What is it, sir?' I'm getting confused must have been 'cause I saw her lifeblood flowing down her head that I nearly fainted.

'Umm, how do I say this? She's fine, her head it umm healed? Or someone was doing a prank those people hit her with something like those glass bottles that break but don't injure the person. The patient must've fainted in shock. And they must've poured fake blood?'

I wanted to yell at the man 'I saw blood over there! How can this be a prank? I never even met her, I said a lie that she is my friend, I'm so sorry but how can that be a prank? I saw glass pieces over there. How can this be a prank?!' He said in a rash. 'I'm not saying this as unnecessary or anything. Anybody would still appreciate the effort you've undertaken.'

'thank you, mister.'

One: my brain's very messy, I saw a whole lot of blood. And two, even nobody even saw her body. the neighborhood I live in is a bit suspicious so having this kind of incident happens sometimes. The reason I live with grandma and she has a gun.

Should I inform the cops? Wait, I already did. Are they going to leave as it is because it was a prank? They wouldn't want someone to be just pranking other people, right? Would they?
