"It's so razz how I need your validation before I fall for someone" Lily folded her hands, frowning
Tasha scoffed, Lily rolled her eyes.
"Look" Tasha sighed "you don't need my validation or anything. It's just...., I thought you weren't concerned about how I felt towards them, I know I was wrong to think that way, and i'm sorry" she sniffed
"Nothing to be sorry about. I would have a fit if you did the same thing too. But I just want you to know that they may, and I mean may.... have changed. I mean they fucked up, yea, I agree too but
..."
"It's cool" Tasha smiled cutting her short. Lily peered at her, so unsure.
"I mean it" Tasha rolled her eyes.
"Come here" Lily dragged her smiling .Tasha hugged her tightly, inhaling her scent.
"Nowww, about Gusty" Lily said and the smile vanished from Tasha's face.
"I don't know how to say it" Tasha sighed.
"Say it anyhow, I'll understand".
"Fine" She replied and told Lily everything.

"I'm sorry Boss " Zuba whispered.
Gusty paced round the room, huffing. He looked at the bed once again ,and kicked it so hard the wood creaked.
Zuba has never seen him this way, even when it came to his mom, he has never been this.....this.....infuriated, and Zuba knew he was done for. His eyes went to gusty's hand, it was still bleeding from the punch he gave to the wall.
"Ohhhhh.....how I'm going to kill those girls " Zana muttered angrily.
"You saying something???" Gusty turned to him, eyes full of anger.
"You saying anything other than how stupid and dumb you sound??" Gusty fumed coming closer
Zuba knew better than to move. He stood quietly, head bent, but his heart was beating twice the normal rate.
"Are you telling me that she could have been kidnapped under your watch???" Gusty asked
"Sorry Boss"
"Don't fucking sorry me" Gusty shouted, punching the wall. Again.
Rony frowned, this was getting out of hand. What was so special about the girl anyway, why was he so worked up???
"I..." Zuba started to say but Gusty cut him short
"I said fuck off" Gusty repeated. Zuba nodded and left.
"Should I leave???" Rony asked. Gusty leered at him, and he nodded, leaving.
He shouldn't put his frustrations on his boys, it wasn't their fault. If he had been around, she wouldn't have left.
Besides, wasn't he supposed to be happy???, she was now conscious, and getting well, she was now out of his hair, and away from his space.
Wasn't that what he always wanted??, why the hell did it hurt, so much.
The fact that he has been bullying her — he wasn't going there, not at all.
"I'm still surprised at how she left" Miles murmured. They were all in his room. They were as surprised as Gusty was too, though Gusty was acting way out of control, he was frustrated, angry, sad and yeah—still surprised like they all were.
"That bitch of hers would be behind this, Tasha would be way too weak to think about running" Zuba smirked
"Easyyy" Miles growled
"What???" Zuba rolled his eyes "Am I supposed to apologize for calling her a bitch??"
"You know she has a name"
"Don't give a fuck" Zuba leered
"Yeah ...I think this is the part where you both clap for yourself" Munchy yawned sarcastically.
" What would you do Gusty??"Bose asked.
"Am I supposed to send a search party for her??" Gusty rolled his eyes
"You know that's not what I mean" Bose sighed
"The heck you don't" Gusty snapped, "look," his voice softened
"Honestly, I'm happy she's gone. At least I don't have to see her annoying face anymore, invading my space and all. It's the best thing. Besides, you all know I was just kinda feeling guilty that's why I left her here, nothing else, so....."
They all looked at themselves, they knew he was lying, it was evident on his face. Because if he didn't care as he claimed,he wouldn't be looking like a kid whose Christmas toy was smashed, but they all kept quiet.
Right now, denial was the best thing for him.
**
"Seriously, I can't lie, I'm so speechless " Lily rubbed her face "the heck...."
Tasha sighed loudly. Did she blame Lily for being tongue tied??, No. Was she also speechless??, definitely yes.
Right now, all that mattered was that she was out of his room, out of his care, out of.....she didn't know, but was just happy. She was so relieved, and—something else. Guilt??.
Heck no, she wasn't feeling guilty for leaving the way she did. Besides, he was the reason she almost lost her life, no way was she feeling guilty.
" What are you thinking???" Lily asked
"Nothing"
"C'mon, I can see you brows, and you have this defiant look in your eyes" Lily said
"Seriously" Tasha laughed "it's nothing"
Lily looked at her doubtfully, she knew she was lying, but....
"Okay. If you say so" She agreed. She wasn't in the mood to push her. She still had a lot to process.
"I think it's time I spoke to my mom" Tasha reached for her phone.
"Right"

"Babe??" He called rapping lightly on the door. No answer. He called again, still, no answer. He turned the knob, but it was locked.
"Luther??"
Luther bounced in, hands behind his back with a worried expression on his face.
"Why is the door locked??"
"Sir" Luther began "she was violent again, she was even worse, she broke some furnitures and injured herself "
"Why didn't you call me??"
"I did, but it wasn't reachable " Luther countered
"Open the door" he demanded
" Sir??" Luther blinked fast, shock written on his face.
"You know how I hate repeating myself " Mr Manchester warned.
"Sir, please, let me get some of my boys to come in with you" Luther looked around frantic
"Are you saying I'm not safe with my own wife??" Mr Manchester raised an eyebrow.
"No sir, I...."
"Luther" He growled
Luther was like family, like a second son, Mr Manchester thought. So he wouldn't blame him for behaving like a drenched rat, but right now, he wanted to see his wife, alone and immediately.
Luther hesitated for a minute, nodded lightly and opened the door. He nodded again and left.
"Baby?? He called as he stepped in, closing the door behind him. Everywhere was a mess. The bed lamp, table, chairs were scattered all over the room.
He moved forward, careful not to wake her if she was asleep. Then he saw her. His wife.
She laid beside the bed, muttering and shaking. Tears clogged his throat. She was in so much pain, she was hurting. Bandages were visible all over her body.
"Baby" he said as he bent towards her. She stilled and turned to him.
"Cole??" She whispered, uncertainty in her voice
"Yes, it's me baby, I'm here" he whispered wrapping her in his arms as he laid beside her.
"Cole" she began to cry
"Am I dangerous???" She asked crying harder.
"No sweetheart, you aren't" he kissed her forehead. He was tired. He wanted his wife back, he wished he could start all over again, wished all these never happened, but.....

"Would you all shut up and listen" Mr Shouty the mathematics teacher growled at the students gathered at the hall.
"And that's why he's nicknamed Mr Shouty" Lily smirked and Tasha laughed.
His real name was Barth, Mr Barth. But he was always angry and shouting. He has never been seen in a good mood, so the students named him Shouty. Well, he's to blame,suit his nature, Tasha shrugged and turned to Mrs favour.
"Like I was saying" Mrs favour began "After the teachers meeting, we've all come to a conclusion, and has decided to end the trip"
Grumbling broke out all over the hall, the student were angry.
"Decorum" Mrs favour shouted, and the whole hall silenced instantly. She smiled lightly, she loved the effect she had on them.
"This decision was taken due to some events that happened here, and most especially, about the incident with Miss Adele." She watched their faces, waiting for their reaction but got none. Good.
"So,y'all go in and pack your bags, we're leaving tomorrow"
The students gasped
"Why so fast??" Nora asked, nudging Lily. Lily shrugged confused too.
