“Doctor how is she” he asked.

Everyone also rushed to me the doctor.

“Doctor tell me how my daughter is doing?” Mrs. Lane asked.

“Ma the thing is” the doctor clear is throat. “What is it doctor, stop scaring us” Romeo said.

“Well the thing is that, we succeeded in saving her life but her brain isn’t working properly with the body system “the doctor said.

“Sir, are you trying to tell us that she will suffer for amnesia” Joyce asked.

“No she doesn’t have amnesia, her brain is not just working for now, she can recognized every one of you, just that she won’t be able to speak but can react to anything you guys say, with this every part of her brain will start coming back to normal” the doctor said.

“Which means if she didn’t react soon she might became paralyzed” Romeo said.

“Bravo how do you know that?” the doctor asked.

“I have read many books written by great scientists and philosophers” Romeo replied.

“Doctor can we take her home” Mrs. Lane asked.

“No ma she is still under treatment, she can’t stand non do anything, so we still have many things to do, the only help we need from you is to be around her, so that you can do what you thinks can make her brain to start functuring properly again” the doctor said.

Mrs. Lane burst into tears.

“Vicky, Vicky” Pamela muttered but it loud enough to be heard. She was about to fall. Romeo held her and help her seat.

“You should try to be strong for Vicky sake, she needs you now because most of her time are spent with you” Romeo consoled pamela.

“Ma please try and put yourself together Vicky will be okay I have that fate” said comforting Mrs. Lane.

“My daughter life is in danger and you are telling me to calm down” Mrs. Lane said weeping bitterly.

“Ma Romeo is right, you need to be strong for Vicky sake” Joyce said.

“I cause all this if I had known I won’t have told her about my withdrawer from school. If I hadn’t told her then her life won’t have be on track by now” Henry said sadly.

“Is not your fault everyone in your shoe, will have do exactly want you did” Romeo said and pat Henry on his back.

“Romeo is just a different, I think he is some kind of gods, after what Pamela and her mum did to him, he doesn’t seems to be affected by it at all” Joyce thought to herself.

“You can go and see her now” The nurse said and they all rushed inside.

“Vicky” Mrs. lane called and move closer to the hospital bed where Vicky was lying on with, her eyes wide open but she wasn’t moving neither was her eyeball moving. In one word she lye on the bed like a log of wood with a drip attached to her hand, her head was bandage.

“My baby, am sorry, I caused all this, you warned me not to do it, you even called me a coward so I would stop, but I still went ahead and do what you asked me not to do. Am not a good mother am a bad influence on my children. I accept am a coward, but please just say a word to me” Mrs. Lane said crying rubbing Vicky face.

“Mum please tell me Vicky will be okay, just tell her to call me MEME, I promised I won’t scold her.

Vicky you know what, I love you so much and will never try to kill you, everything I said yesterday about killing you, it is just a joke, why are you taking it so serious now. Just wake and disturb me, please disturb me, wake up and scold me, I promised I won’t tell you to stop” Pamela said hitting herself on the face.

Joyce and Annie couldn’t control their emotion any longer that they also start crying.

“Stop it are you crazy, why are you hurting yourself” Romeo said and hold Pamela hand.

“Yes am crazy, just tell her to wake up” Pamela said crying like a baby.

“She will, but please just try to calm yourself down, this is not going to help her get better” Romeo said and wipes her tears with his hand.

Pamela took his hand away.

“I know your ego won’t allow you to accept me as your friend. I don’t even want to be your friend, am doing all this because of Vicky, Vicky is you sister and she also like a sister to me.

So tell me if she wakes up and see her sister is depressed, how do you want me to face her, she always call me her idol, so tell me what will I say to her, that I stood and watch her sister and mother hurting themselves.

So get this clear now, you can never stop me for taking care of you till Vicky is okay. If you want to be stubborn then I promised you that I will be stubborn too” Romeo said to Pamela.

“Romeo is right, just forget the difference you guys have for now for Vicky wellbeing, So I think you can pretend if that will make her felt better” Annie said.

“Yeah Annie is totally right about this” Joyce added.

“Yeah please Pamela let do this for Vicky safety” Henry said.

“Okay I will do this for my sister “Pamela said.

Angela sit in the school garden waiting for Romeo. She decide to call since he didn’t hear anything from him.

James comes there.

“Why are you here alone?” He asked.

“Waiting for Romeo” Angela replied.

“Where has he gone to?” James asked.

“Pamela sister has an accident, so he followed her to the hospital” Angela said.

“Romeo is such a sweetheart, you are lucky to be his friend, how I wish to be his friend” James said.

“I haven’t seen anyone as nice as him before, even after Pamela got him rusticated from school, he still went ahead and followed her to the hospital” Angela said.

“Do you mean Romeo truly got withdrawn from school, I heard that from some student but I thought it was just the school normal gossip you know” James said still not able to digest that idea.

“Yes, he was rusticated from school. If I were the one in his shoe I will have make Pamela suffers for what she did before I leave the school but he is just too kind” Angela said.

“How come he knew Pamela sister and how did he found out she isn’t feeling well?” James asked.

“I don’t know how he knew her sister, but all I know is that I was there when someone called Pamela about her sister not feeling fine” Angela said and explained everything that happened at the bar to him.

“Wow do you mean Romeo beat kiles up, that’s so nice, am falling in love with this guy each and everyday.

If he leaves this school then am as good has a dead goat” James said scared.

“What do you mean by that?” Angela asked.

“Do you forget kiles and his gang are still in this school” James replied.

“So you are scared of them, the confident you showed in class today where did that came from?” Angela asked.

“I don’t know, the only thing I know is that, I hate it when you are been humiliated. I can go against anyone who want to fight you, but I can’t fight for myself” James said.

“So you aren’t confident in yourself that so bad” Angela said and shake her head.

“Does guys are very desperate you know” James said.

“stop being a coward, that doesn’t suit you, if you want to save me then you will have to save yourself first, when you save yourself then I will know am somehow saved” Angela said.

James look at her.

“Why are you staring at me in that way” Angela asked.

“Nothing I just want to say thanks for giving me courage, I promise to fight then badly if they try to bully me again.

I think you wanna call Romeo when I came? Common call him let’s hear from him” James said.

“Yeah” Angela said and dial Romeo number. He picked it up at the first ringing.
