Sandra's point of view
"She's going to be fine, Thank god the knife wasn't that deep. She'll soon be awake"The doctor said making us exhaled in relief.
"Thank you so much Doctor smith"Mom said with a slight smile.
"You don't need to thank me...it's my job.I'll be in my office,If you need anything tell the nurses.....they'll help you with that"He said with a slight bow and walked out of the ward.
"My poor baby"Mom said with a sniff and sat down on a chair close to Alicia's bed.
"You heard what the doctor said Brenda, she'll be fine"Dad said and held her shoulder.
"I heard him Jones, But I'm just so worried. It's not been long I found her and now they want to take her away from me again"mom said and burst into tears.
"Stop the tears Brenda,I promise you that I'll make those thugs pay for doing this to my daughter"Dad said with a frown,folding his hands.
"What if Sandra didn't run back home to tell us that they were attacked?? "Mom asked with a sniff.
"I watched the footage and I'm going to say that I'm really proud of her, Like seriously she fought so good. If she didn't know how to fight.... I wonder what would have become of my daughters"Dad said with a proud smile staring at Alicia on the bed.
"It's all my fault"I said in a whimper making all of them turn to me.
"What are you saying baby ...it's not your fault"Mom said staring at me.
"No it's my fault,If I hadn't forced her to escort me to the store to buy that stupid chocolate then all of this wouldn't have happened to Alicia"I said and wiped my tears.
"Don't put the blame on yourself honey, She's going to be fine"Dad said and walked up to me giving me a hug.
"She's going to be fine"Dad repeated patting my head.
"Finn you're back"We heard mom said and we broke the hug and turned to the door to see Finn standing on the door with a frown on his face.
"What did the doctor say??"He asked staring at Alicia on the bed.
"He said that she'll be fine that the stab wasn't that deep"Mom said.
"That's great news"Finn said with a smile.
"Did you lock up the thugs?? "Dad asked staring at him.
"Yes,I questioned them and they told me that they were sent by someone and you won't believe who did"Finn said with a frown.
"They were sent???,By who??,Who would want to end the life of my baby??"mom asked perplexed.
"Halsey and Halle"I said with a frown making them all stare at me confused.
"Yes, Those were the names that the thug mentioned and I'm sure you know them"Finn said.
"Yes I do, They're my classmates in school who really hates me and has been making my life a living hell before Alicia came to school and rescued me"I said with a scoff.
"I can't believe they sent some thugs to attack me and Alicia. I've never done anything to those girls.....I don't know why they hate me so much"I said sadly.
"Well you don't need to worry Sandy, I'll make sure they pay for doing this to your twin sister"Finn said with an assuring smile.
"It's late now honey, Come on, let Finn drive you home, It's just Leo at home and I don't want him to start crying.... Your dad and I will stay with Alicia in the hospital"Mom said.
"No mom, I'm going to stay with Alicia.I can't just go home and sleep knowing fully well that she's not in good health in the hospital.....Besides we share a room and it's going to be so lonely"I said and sat down on the bed close to Alicia.
"Fine sweetie,You heard her Finn,Tell the maids TI take care of Leo.... And also tell Ace to take the thugs to the police station,Tommorow we'll take the cops to the school and get those two witches"Dad said.
"Ok dad, I'll be on my way then. Goodnight mom, Goodnight Sandy"He said and walked out of the ward.
I felt my phone vibrate but I didnt take it,I really don't feel like talking to anyone right now,I thought staring at Alicia.
"She's going to be fine Sandy"Mom said and held my hand.
"She better be or I'm never going to forgive myself"I said staring keenly at her.

Morning
Rodriguez's residence
Apple's room
Seth's point of view
"Thanks big bro, I'm full already"Apples said excitedly as I fed her.
"You're full??.....but you haven't even eaten anything"I said with a smile staring at her cute face.
"*I haven't eaten anything??*,You've been feeding me nonstop for the past minutes"She said with a chuckle.
"Fine, I'm glad you're eating now.... You looked a bit skinny to me yesterday"I said and pat her hair.
"I'll eat more now that you're back"She said with a bright smile.
"Oh right"I murmured. She's going to be really sad if I tell her that I'm going to move out.
"Why, Is there a problem??"She asked staring keenly at me.
"Nothing serious Apples, I just want to tell you that I will be going back to Xavier's mansion"I said waiting for her response.
"You..... You guys are back together??"She asked.
"Yes Apples, And I'm going to be staying there for some time"I said.
"That's great news, I'm really happy to hear that..... But I'm also sad that you're going to leave me here,But it's fine..... I'll just learn to leave by myself. "She said with a light smile.
"Thanks for understanding Apples, I promise you that I'll come visiting always and if you want you can come spend the weekend with us"I said and she hugged me immediately.
"I'm so so happy to see you again"She said for the umpteenth time making me chuckle.
Yesterday after I came back to the house and she saw me, she has refused to leave me alone...she made me even sing her a lullaby,I thought with a chuckle.
I stared at my phone and my mind went to Sandra, I've calling her but she's not picking up and I even sent her a text but it was still the same. Why isn't she picking up?, I hope she's fine,I thought with a sigh staring at my phone.
"Seth"I heard Apples yelled and looked up.
"I've called your name like thrice now, what's wrong??, What's with that sad look on your face?? "She asked worriedly staring at me.
"It's nothing...I'm fine" I lied with a fake smile.
"You're fine???, I know when you're fine Seth....come on tell me what's wrong?? "She asked.
"Fine...I've been calling my girlfriend but she's not picking up and she won't even read my text"I said with a sigh.
"Wait... Did I just hear well or my ears are having problems. Did I just hear my girlfriend??"She asked with a wide eye.
"You heard right Apples...I now have a girlfriend and her name is Sandra"I said but she didn't say anything she just kept on staring at me as if I'm speaking in tongues.
"Apples did you..... "
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"She yelled cutting me off and grabbed my hand shouting really loud.
"Geez what's wrong with you why did you yell that way??"I asked surprised staring at her.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so surprised and happy that you now have a girlfriend. I seriously can't wait to meet her"She said showing all her 32.
"Don't worry, I'll introduce you to her soon"I said.
"I can't wait. I'm so happy for you Seth... You and Xavier are back together as friends and you now have a girlfriend. Don't worry Seth.... Maybe your girlfriend is quite busy"She said and shrieked happily.
"Mmmmmmmm"We heard someone cleared his or her throat and we turned to 4th the door to see that it was mom.
" Are you through eating,Vivianna??" She asked.
"Yes I'm through mom, I'm just having a brother to sister conversation with Seth"She said dramatically.
"Okay.....Urrrm, Sorry to interrupt you guys but please Seth, Can I have a word with you??"She asked staring at me.
"I'm coming Apples.....I'll soon be back"I said and glanced at Mom before walking out of the room.
"What do you want to talk about?? "I asked glaring at her.
" I want to tell you that I'm deeply sorry for everything that I've done to you and that you should please find it in your heart to forgive me"She said and I scoffed immediately.
" You want me to forgive you for everything that you've done?? "I asked with a scoff staring at her.
"Yes Seth, I know I wasn't a good mom to you both and I'm really sorry for that"She said and clasp her hands together.
"I don't hold a grudge against you mom, And I've forgiven you... The person that you should tender this apology to is dad for cheating on him with countless men and for disrespecting him, You should also apologize to Apples for cheating and making her think that dad is her real dad and you should also apologize to Xavier's mom for making that poor woman pass through pain and depression"I said and took a deep breath.
"If dad had done that DNA test and it turned out that his not my biological father...then I would have killed you and then committed suicide"I said staring into her eyes.
'I'm really sorry son please forgive me"She said again with a whimper.
"I've told you mom..... "I was saying but got interrupted by the sound of my ringtone.
I removed the phone to see that it's Sandra that's calling me and that gave me joy.
"I've got someone important to talk to so if you don't mind excuse me"I said and answered the call walking away.
"Hey babe, What's wrong?.Ive been calling you but you've not been picking up your phone"I said immediately I answered the phone.
"What Alicia was stabbed"I said panicked.
"Oh no, Which hospital are you guys "I asked.
"I'll just tell Xavier and we'll be there in a jiffy"I said and ended the call rushing into my room.
I picked some few random things and dialed Xavier's line immediately.
"I just got a call from Sandra and she said that Alicia was stabbed last night"I said immediately he picked up.
"Yes Xavier I'll come pick you up so that we'll go there together"I said.
"Okay fine"I said and ended the call rushing into Apples room.
"Something urgent came up so I'm going ,See you later"I said and gave her a quick peck before running out of the house.
************************
Hospital
Afternoon
1:22pm
Alicia's point of view
"Thank you Xavier"I muttered weakly after he gave me a cup of water to drink.
"You're welcome bae.Does it still hurt"He asked and gave me a peck on my pail lips.
"No it doesn't,The doctor said that the knife wasn't that deep.....I'm not feeling pain at all"I said.
It's just Him and I in the room.Mom and dad left for work seeing that I have someone to stay with while Sandra and Seth went for a stroll in the hospital.
"You should have just run away when you noticed that someone was following you"He said.
"It was already late.....they were four "I muttered.
"It's a good thing that the HHH girls were arrested at least they'll stop being a threat to you guys"He said and brought out his phone logging into the school's group chat.
"Here"He said showing me the video where the cops were taking Halsey and Halle out of the principal's office with their hands handcuffed.
" I swear we didn't do it, It wasn't me mom help me. I didn't do it mom"Halsey yelled in tears staring at her mom.
"No no... Let me go, I'm innocent I don't know why those thugs called our names but we're innocent, Halsey and I didn't send no thugs"Halle said struggling with the cop who was holding her.The students were just taking photos and videos nonstop .
Both of their parents had a dissapointed look on their faces and somehow I felt bad for them.
" Wait. ...where's Hope??"I asked Xavier staring at the video.
"Hope, I didn't go to school today but according to what I heard... They said hope wasn't part of this"He said.
"That sly b*tch, It was her "I said with a scoff.
"It was her??, I don't understand"He said staring at me confused.
"Why would the thug just call Halsey and Halle names and leave out her name when she's part of the HHH girls??"I asked staring at him.
"I don't know"he said.
She sent those thugs to attack us and mention Halsey's name so that she'll won't be a suspect since Halsey is the one always after Sandra.
"But the thugs were the one that mentioned their names"He said.
'She made them do it, I can feel it Xavier" I said.
"You know what Bae, Let's not stress yourself over that.....you're still hurt so just lay down while I watch you sleep"He said and helped me lie down.
"Thank you"I muttered.
"You're welcome"He said and just at that minute my phone began ringing at the table.
Xavier turned to the table and took the phone staring at the name.
"Who's it?? "I asked.
"Coach Josh"He said and my heart skipped a beat.
" Oh give it to me please"I said and stretched out my hand while he gave me the phone.
"Hey Josh,Good afternoon"I said awkwardly because Xavier was staring at me.
"Hey champ what's with that tone,Is everything alright??"He asked.
"Yeah everything is fine, I'm fine. How's your wife and kid doing??"I said with a nervous chuckle and heard Xavier sigh out in relief.
"That's great then They're all fine. How's your cute twin sister doing??"He asked.
"Sandra is fine"I replied while Xavier just kept on staring at me.
"OK champ, I'm going to go straight to the point..... I've got a big match for you Alicia and it's real good money. I know you told me that you don't want to continue fighting but Alicia just this once and then I'll never disturb you again"He said pleadingly.
" Okay.... When?? "I asked.
"This evening Alicia,By 8:30pm.....the underground ring and your opponent is going to be really tough because I heard that she've killed most of her opponent so you have to be careful"He said making me speechless.
I'm not yet healed from this stab wound and I'm going to be fighting a deadly opponent,I thought and bit my lips.
"Alicia are you there??"I heard him say.
"I've heard you Josh.....see you then"I said and hung up. It's going to be my last match and the least I can do for coach Josh is to help him get this money. I'm going to fight today no matter what,I thought with a sigh staring at my phone.
"What's the problem and Who's that???,You look quite bothered after making the call"He said.
"It's nothing serious Xavier, It's just a old friend of mine, Josh while I was staying at the orphanage"I said.
"Oh okay"He said and rubbed my face with his palm.
"Get well soon okay"He said and the next thing I started feeling dizzy before sleeping off.
#Evening#
I looked around and luckily Sandra and mom went to get somethings at home. I woke up earlier and I was told that Xavier got an urgent call and left immediately.
I managed to get down from the bed and wore my flip flops.I just need to sneak out of the hospital to the underground ring,I thought and opened the door a little to see if there is any doctor or nurse around and luckily there was none.
I'm sorry guys but I'm going to do this, I muttered and walked out of the ward limpering a bit.
I just have to make sure that my opponent doesn't find out that I'm hurt on my stomach then I'll be okay, I thought and entered the elevator going down.
I sneaked out of the hospital and entered a taxi.
"Where to ma'am??"He asked.
"Take me to the black streets junction"I said.
"Urmmmm ma'am I don't think that's a place you should be it's really dangerous"He said.
"I know just take me there"I said and relaxed back on the seat. I'm really doing this, I thought and take a deep breath.
