"You ready to go, Dyl?" Callum asked from behind my door."Wouldn't you like to know." Amy scoffed, as she applied setting spray to my face."I'll be out in a second!" I yelled out to him.Tonight was the my debut as an official member of the Black Women In Society Organization. I asked Amy to do my makeup for tonight since she had done such a great job on my birthday and Halloween.Callum was driving her and I to the hotel where the event was being held. My father, his wife, and her daughter already went ahead of us; while my grandparents had gone earlier to greet guest. Everyone was going to be there tonight to see me come out, Callum's family, Hector, and my cousins Nessa and Marcus.I was kind of nervous about everyone meeting each other for the first time, especially my cousins meeting my father and grandparents. Luckily I wasn't going to witness any of it, as I wouldn't be sitting near them at the ball.A year ag

My stomach had finally stopped making noises. All I felt now is a dull ache where hunger had been. My lips were dry and cracked, and dried blood still remained on my head from Kelly knocking me out days ago.When I first met her, I could tell that something was a little off. Her drugging Callum and myself had only confirmed that. But now, I realized that there was something very wrong with her. Some form of mental illness that made her truly deranged. She'd come to see me in the cellar every day, giving me a bottle of water and a handfull of crackers as if I was a pet bird she was forced to feed. It had been a little over two weeks, and I was still in my same gown from the debutante ball. It was filthy, as was I.The only bathroom that I had was a bucket

Justin's POVI looked into the hallway of the birthing suites, watching Steve talk to a police officer. I walked out of the suite towards them, hoping that there was news on Dylan.Steve turned to me, his eyes brimming with tears."What's wrong? She's gone isn't she?" I asked, my voice cracking. My heart stopped and I felt myself beginning to cry."No," Steve shook his head crying. "She's here, she's hurt but she's here, in this hospital.""Where? I need to see her." The officer cleared his throat before speaking. "As I was told Mr Gold, we need to get a full picture of what went on before anyone can see  her. I would like for everyone that is close to Miss Gold to come down to the station."This man must be out of his mind."To be honest with you officer, I couldn't give a fuck what you want. What room is she in?" I demanded."Justin calm down." Steve said to me, put

I had been going in and out of consciousness for the past two days. I still couldn't open my eyes, but when I was coherent, I could hear every word, feel every touch, and wanted nothing more than to wake up and tell everyone that I was okay. Everyone I cared about came to visit me, even some that I didn't care for. My grandmother would kick everyone out of the room when she visited, she'd sit beside me and stroke my hair, detailing all places we would go together once I woke up. Even in the state that I am, I had never felt closer to her. My father didn't speak to me, which I understood. He spent most of his time yelling at my nurses about frivolous things that I could care less about. He didn't speak, but I could hear him cry. Most of the time it was muffled, but sometimes, loud sobs. It was the worst part of my coma, that, and hearing Callum cry.My cousins visite

"So I'm cleared? I can go home now?" I asked Dr Hines.I had been concious for a little over a week now, and I was finally beginning to feel like myself again. My body was getting back to normal, and all I wanted to do was be anywhere but the hospital now."You're cleared from me, yes. Your physical injuries should take a few more weeks to heal; and with a steady and consistent diet you should be back to your normal weight soon. However, Dr Scott still has some concerns about your mental state." He said."My mental state?" "Her mental state?" Callum and I said simultaneously.Dr Hines nodded. "Until she clears you, you're stuck here with me." He smiled sadly."But I'm fine, really. I think it's time I go home. I miss my bed, and my books, and my shower." I ranted.Callum held my hand. "I can go to your house and grab some books if you want."I shook my head. "I want to be able to
