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.....
