Nina's POV-
I must be crazy to be still wondering alone at 1 o'clock. 'God !'
I wish I never had to work so hard. I wish I had people to care and look after me but I guess this is God's plant to test my faith.
I won't give up then.
The weather is bad and my shoes are tattered. I will be homeless if I don't reach the landlord soon and give him this payment soon; I've been working in the local grocery shop till late at night to gather money for my living.
Just some more distance and I'll be there...
Ring! Ring! Ring!
I answer my phone, "Hello, Kara?" I ask.
"Hello, Nina please can you come here?" Her voice was flustered and reeked of urgency.
"What happened, tell me?" Oh God please don't let anything happen they are my good friends. Sometimes they are the reason why I still want to live in this God forsaken world.
"Just come here!"
"Alright, where are you?"
"Heaven Nightclub."
Without thinking further I set up to the planned destination.
I ran as though my life was on stake, they are my good friends who supported me a lot during my hard times. They never hesitated to go through with me all my struggles and pain.
They saw me in my happy and worst times, never mocked or laughed at me like the others did.
I stood outside the club and made my way in.
Kara's POV-
The nightclub was pretty busy today and we were sitting in VIP lounge.
All our friends had gathered and we were gonna have some extra excitement tonight.
"Guys! she took the bait!" I yelled, excitedly whilst my boyfriend gave me a glass of my favorite Wine.
"Wow! Who's that poor soul you guys are gonna play with today?" Samuel asked, filling another glass of wine.
"Hahah! A poor, tattered and stupid girl!" Lena laughed, mocking Nina.
Nina is a very poor girl. During school, she had ways been introverted, bullied, ostracised. Once I offered her help but because of a misunderstanding she had slapped me in front of the whole school and splashed mud over my newly bought clothes. I was fuming mad that day. I swore to take my revenge and thus befriended her, making her think we are best friends. Even if there was some kind of misunderstanding I was humiliated and afterwards my perfect image had a stain, and that I could not bear.
On her 18th birthday, we will give her a huge surprise!
Nina's POV-
'Alright, where are they?' I have been looking around for the past 10 minutes but I can't see to find them.
'Oh, God I hope nothing terrible has happened.'
"Excuse me, miss, are you looking for your friends? Kara?" A waiter suddenly appeared before me. I nodd my head immediately and ask their whereabouts.
'Room No. 42.' This is the room.
I am currently standing before the room the waiter had told me to go to.
I hold the handle and open the door. As soon as I step in, something liquidity falls on my head and travell to my entire body, completely drenched.
"Whooooo!"
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
"Happy Birthday!"
Dazed shouting echoed in the room as I tried to process the sudden event happening.
'What is going on?'
"Nina, our best friend, happy birthday!" Alex came forward and forcefully shoved a piece of cake into my mouth; it was stuck in my mouth and I couldn't speak.
Everything was so shocking. I don't understand.
A man stood up to touch my face, he licks my collarbone, "Hmmm.... Tasty, Is this cobernet Sovingnon?" I was absolutely disgusted by his touch so I try to slap him but someone holds my hand...
".... K-Kara...." What is she doing?
She smirks viciously, "Yes, baby me. Now today isn't your show..."
A slap resounded on my face thoroughly as I hold the bruised area in shock.
Tears threatened to roll down my cheek and I let them flow like a river.
"Why... Wh-at is going... on?" It took me a lot of courage and bravery to ask because I was scared to death of the answer.
".... Exactly what you did to me in high school."
My eyes widened in surprise. That time was a huge misunderstanding.... but it was settled... Then why...
"It never settled because I will never forgive or forget those who humiliate me, this was payback." kara was crouching beside my collapsed, timid body, sliding her finger through my dishevelled state.
".. Rev-revenge?.... You were friends with me for 2 years for revenge?"
"....You... Alex, Lena.. too?"
Lena came forward to face Kara, giving her a glass, what I assume is alcohol.
She smiles and say, "Here, you can just shove it down her throat if she's not willing." Glancing me a disgusted look.
"It's only alcohol, right?" Kara raised her eyebrows.
"Of course, only alcohol." Lena confirmed.
An unknown substance was forced upon me no matter how hard I tried to avoid, I cried and pleaded for mercy but no one heard my pleas.
'Please God, please help me.'
Every moment of humiliation pricked me a million times, every revelation of betrayal mocked my stupidity and blind trust in others.
Every being and cell of my body laughed at me. And I was laughing hysterically at my own foolishness, how could anyone truly accept a cursed being like me? How can I ever expect anyone to truly care for me?
Even if I have no one or nothing, I will not give up. I will fight till the end. I resolved my determination, pushed Kara away and reach out the door.
I run with all the consciousness I have left, with all my shattered might and strength.
I run and run..
...out on the bare streets into dark valleys.....

Nina's POV-
My heart is beating rapidly and my breathing is the only sound I can hear; the people walking on the lonely streets have faded into air and I no longer remember my destination. I am only running meaningless.
A narrow, dark valley engulfs me as I settle my down to my knees.
Crystal diamonds drop to the floor, turned into nothing.
I am nothing.
Whatever did I do to deserve this? It was all wrong from the beginning, everything was only their plan.
They had helped me in paying my school fees, rental charges, we had fun in the amusement parks, we stood up for each other and cared like real sisters. Did they not once feel something for me? Did they not once think of backing out from their pretence?
Are they feeling happy after all this? Are they regretting?
I cry my heart.
All and everything I felt for them meant nothing but a burden in their eyes. I was a burden, their source of misery.
Suddenly, I heard loud bangs and footsteps.
What seemed like a man's hoarse panting.
Perhaps he had been running for too long due and oxygen was completely replaced with lactic acid in his lungs. 'He needs to catch his breath.'
I can't see his face because of the darkness and I assume he can't see mine either.
I jolt when he pounces on me and rips my clothes, "Hey! What are you doing?" I yell.
However, he ignores. "Stop! Please, stop!" I plead for his attention but he ravages through my inoccence.
He groan and snarls, "Shut up!"
My already red eyes start watering and I let the tears flow like a river. "Ple-please... Heuk! Please, don't do this... let me go."
For some reason my body was feeling hot and all energy had drained my body, I couldn't even open my eyes. I felt exhausted.
He barks, "What! Stop?"
His hysterical laughter echoes in the abandoned valley.
"... You are the one who called upon this trouble and now you're playing hard to get? And.. This..." He leaned closer and sniffed me.
".... And this obscene poison (1) that you have drank."
'Posion? What poison is he talking about?' I was bewildered by his comment.
The night was long and dark. Today, not only did I lose my most trusted and beloved friends but I also lost what was so dear, precious, what held so much emotional attachment for me, what I kept so safe for my 18 years of life.
My purity.
I don't know when my eyes had closed but perhaps it was good because I no longer felt any pain, I became numb....
'Where is this? Wasn't I in the...? How did I...?
When I woke up, my eyes were welcomed by a bright white room, I could hear beeping machines, drips from my hands, disinfectant smell, and when I looked around there were other beds whilst I was dressed in a plain blue dress.
Everything told me I was in a hospital.
But, how?!
A beautiful lady walked into the room and flashed a smile, "Oh! Thank Goodness, your awake."

I thought they were my best friends but they ruthlessly betrayed me.
"Please, please don't hurt me...!" I begged and pleaded but he ignored and ravaged through my innocence.
A beautiful lady walked in and flashed a colgate smile, "Oh Thank Goodness, Your awake!"

Nina's POV-
I am really confused right now, how did I end up in a hospital?
My chain of thoughts were interrupted by a lady coming towards me with a bright smile on her face.
She changed my drip before saying, "You have been asleep for whole three days, we though you were going into a coma."
'What I was in the hospital for whole three days!' Everything previously surfaced to me, I was walking till late, the phone call from Kara, the Club and all the humiliation I suffered, and... And... my...
My expression contorted and crystal diamonds fell onto the blanket, shattering into a million pieces just like my dignity, my life, my heart, my trust, my hopes.
Everything was destroyed In just one night.
"Hey! Shhh.... why cry?" The woman who seemed like a nurse soft whispered.
She sat besides me and tapped my head softly, "Don't cry, it wasn't your fault... God will punish them.... That bastard!"
I was shocked at her sudden curse, I look at her comforting smile. 'So they know, They know!
I cry louder and louder.
"Shhh... Come here!"
She embraces me and rakes through my chocolaty brown hair. I didn't want tell anyone what happened to me, I couldn't. But now they know.
They will despise me, hate me. They will loathe me and never let live in peace. A neglected, disgraced woman like me will never live openly and respectfully in this cruel society. Where ever I go and whenever, lecherous boys will follow me with ill intentions; that will be my daily life. Struggling to live or making an earning in this venomous reality. God! Oh, God. What did I do to deserve this?
Since the day I was born I have been battling every day to breath another moment, to see another dawn. I have passed days without eating a morsel, other times I have been beaten up black and blue to the point I wished I'd die. I have cried sleeping and I have woken up from nightmares. Regardless, I have always been a good person or so I tried to; when I'd pass a beggar I would put as much money as I could afford because I've also suffered this torment, I've helped couldn't airily in charities, orphanage homes because u don't want another child to suffer the way I did.
Perhaps I was so deep in my thoughts and had drowned so far into my ocean of sorrow, I didn't realise another woman sitting to left and smiling at me kindly.
I briefly stare at her with a confused expression be for asking, "Umm... Who are you..?" She had that beautiful, angelic smile on her glowing face.
However, she did not reply. I tried again and the nurse who previously comforted me entered the room, placing a tray of fresh fruits on the counter.
"She is the woman who had discovered you and helped you into the hospital." The kind nurse answered peeling an apple.
I was beyond surprised and ecstatic to know who had brought me into the hospital. 'So it was this brave and kind lady.'
Who would ever help a disgraced and abandoned girl in a dirty, narrow valley?
I hold her hands and thank her whole heartedly.
"May I ask for your name...?" I croak.
Silence once again shrouds the entire room before the nurse replies, "She cannot speak, it's a disability."
Oh, God. What did I do? If I had know I would've been different and careful in approach...
"Don't feel guilty."
I nod my head at the nurses statement and kiss my saviours hands. A single, pure tear rolls down smoothly my dry skin and onto her wrinkly hands.
I hug her and she holds me firmly.
Perhaps, she is an angel in disguise sent by God to rescue me.
Sometime had passed since my short, heartfelt meeting with my saviour but I was still in the hospital room, eating grapes.
The nurse told me to only eat fruits and follow the strict diet set by the hospital. I don't like the food they have here, soggy soup and some fruit but oh well, it's better that nothing.
'I wonder where that lady who saved me is now.'
I really wanted her to sit beside me and I wish I could talk to her while she just kept listening to it and giving that beautiful, kind and angelic smile. That smile took away all my worries, my problem. It filled me with light and inspiration to live a better life. It was magic.
'I wish I had that smile.'
The other patients besides me were extremely quiet because they were sleeping.
'Wow.'
The door cranked open and a strange man entered. From my deduction, he must be a doctor. His white coat, that stethoscope around his neck...
He feigned a cough, "Miss Nina, your injuries aren't heavy however they can cause you potential harm. So we will have to detain you in the VIP room of our hospital before we are are you are ready to be discharged." He was skiing through some papers that were hung onto the end of my bed.
'What!? VIP?!'
No! No, I am ready worrying how to pay for the current fees of the hospital let alone affording a VIP room.
"Uhm. Excuse me Doctor, I think I am already recuperating well in this room so there's no bed for me to go to a VIP room, besides you said I am alright." I tried to reason with him.
"I am sorry, but this procedure will be carried out without any obstacles. It is Beccles say for your smooth recuperation." He curtly retorted.
What am I gonna do?
