He said. I smiled and took my lips in. "What time is it? We should be in school" I jibed panicky.I sat up and so did Bryan."It's okay if we stay at home. We don't have any homework, do we?" He asked. I remembered the principal's homework. I need to submit it. I need to be in school!"No Bryan. I can't miss school. How do I get to my room and change without anyone seeing me leave your room?" I asked."Relax and come with me" he said Nonchalantly.. "If your mom sees me, she'll--" I paused. geez, do I want to get into a bigger trouble by telling Bryan about his mom's threats?"She'll do what?" He asked keenly.&

Amanda's pov:I sneaked into the house and put on some clothes.Thank goodness not even a soul saw me.I was under my duvet shaking and sobbing as the event replayed through my mind. I want to go back to the orphanage.Am tired of this place.♨Mrs Carol's pov♨I saw it all...Amanda coming out from Royce's car and running into the house. What's this girl up to?Is she trying to have a thing with my son?Or Perharps Royce is sleeping with her...Dang it!I should have payed attention to her when she arrived at the house.

Minnie's pov:"No! Amanda..." I cried shaking her.Oh fvck! What do I do?She took a bullet for me. How do I help her?The car we came with parked and the driver ran to us. He saw Amanda's horrible state and he gasped. He pulled me up by my arm and started dragging me to the car."Stop!" I yelled but he carried me on his shoulder. "We need to help her" I panicked."She's already dead Minnie. I need to get you home safe or I loose my job" he replied and forced me inside the car locking me in.I stared at Amanda who was lying still through the window. Tears filled my eyes. How do I help her?She's my friend right? How can I leave her like this?The driver drove off and I couldn't help but cry. Amanda...Bryan's pov:I told her w

.........Carol's pov....... "Actually...I didn't see where the bullet was coming from not to speak of who shot us. If it's a woman or a man, I have no idea" Minnie replied and I was relieved. Bryan didn't say anything else but went upstairs. Am safe. ........Amanda's pov........ I opened my eyes slowly. I feel so weak and some part of my abdomen hurts. I looked at my right and found Royce staring at me. I flinched. "Hey" he said in a hoarse voice. I couldn't say anything but just sit up leaning on the pillows. "Hi" I mumbled. "You've been unconscious for two days. You survived the bullets" he said. Wow... I can't believe am actually alive. "Where are we?" I asked. "At a hotel.
