HOSPITAL=SABRINA’S WARD***
“I’m so happy your finally awake big sis, I thought you won’t wake up” Seth said and Sabrina smiles weakly, since she was still recovering.
“Sorry I made you worry Seth”
“Dad is already in jail”.
“Huh”
“Angelo filed a case against him for child abuse. He was arrested by the police for beating you up so badly”.
“Wait. Did you just say Angelo?” Sabrina asked and Angelo enters the ward before Seth could answer.
“Angelo” Seth said running to hug him. Angelo smiles and hugs him back. Sabrina blinks surprisingly.
“Seth how did you know him? Is your first time meeting him, right?” Sabrina asked.
“Of course not big sis. He’s the one who helped paid our house bills, when the landlady almost threw us out. That’s how I got to know him” Seth said and Sabrina looks at him with widened eyes.
“Seth can I talk to your big sis alone?” Angelo asked.
“Sure” Seth said and leaves the ward.
“You have been the anonymous person helping me out?” Sabrina asked, her face shows that she was extremely surprised.
“Yes”
“Why? Why have you been helping me secretly?” Sabrina asked.
“Because I care about you a lot Rina. Seeing you sad is what I loathe most”
“But Stacey loves you Angelo”
“Do you know she’s the reason why your here in the hospital?”
“Meaning”
“Stacey was the one who framed you of being pregnant” Angelo said.
And Sabrina shakes her head in disbelief.
“No. No that’s not true, Stacey will never do that to me. She can never do such a cruelful thing to me” Sabrina said crying.
“I know is hard to believe since you considered her your best friend. But she lied to you dad about you flirting with guys and getting pregnant”.
Sabrina broke into tears immediately, it was too painful for her to bear, Stacey was more than a friend to her, and that’s why it breaks her heart to find that Stacey could go as far as killing her all because of a guy.
“Rina” Angelo muttered her name.
“Where’s Stacey? I need to speak with her. I need inquire from her, if she really did this to me” Stacey said between tears.
“Stacey already left Chicago”
“What?”
“She left last night, I guess her guilt is eating her up. But she’d left something for you” Angelo said and Sabrina looks at him with wetty eyes.
Angelo points at the nightstand table, Sabrina sees a folded paper on it and she took it, as her eyes read through the lines.
✍️ Before you get to read this, I’ll have landed in Iraq. I can’t face you after what I did, and that’s why I have no choice but to leave. If I continue staying in Chicago, I might be prompt to do bad and cruelful things to you, because of my love for Angelo. I don’t want to hurt you Sab, and that’s why I left, but I’d wish you got your revenge on me for what I did to you. I’m sorry bestie, sorry for hurting you. I’ll be staying in Iraq with my big brother, hoping to start all over again, and I know that I won’t ever find a friend like you. Angelo loves you so much Sab, try to give him a chance in your life. Don’t worry about me, I’m sure karma will visit me for what I did to you. I’m so sorry Sabrina, I really I’m ✍️
Sabrina broke into more tears after reading the letter, she’s going to miss Stacey for sure.
Angelo sits beside her in the bed, hugging her.
“Stop crying Rina, is breaking my heart seeing you this way”.
“She shouldn’t have left, a few slaps would have settled everything, she shouldn’t have left” Sabrina said crying the more.
Angelo broke the hug, cleaning her tears with his thumb.
“I guess this is were you and Stacey’s friendship was meant to end. You still have Paige and Desiree, they’ll always be there for you” Angelo said, still cleaning her tears.
“Are you in love with me?” Sabrina asked and Angelo slowly nods.
“Yes Rina, I love you. I always love you since the day you came to Empire High as a scholarship student, that’s why I have always help you, Cuz I h@tës it when your sad”.
“But I don’t know what Love feels like Angelo. Being too dedicated in my jobs have rendered me ignorant about what falling in love feels like”.
“Then give me a chance Rina”
“Huh?”
“Give me a chance to show you what love feels like. I love you so much Rina, I really do” Angelo said with eyes filled with emotions.
Sabrina only nods her head.
Angelo kiss her forehead, and hugs her.
******
Sabrina got discharged two days later. Paige and Desiree also got to know about Stacey leaving Chicago. They were going to miss her for sure, but life has to move on.
The six friends decided to go for a two days and a night outing to have fun together, it was hosted because of Sabrina, so she can forget about what Stacey did.
“Why’s there just three bicycles, when we’re clearly six?Desiree asked the attendance who brought the bicycles for them.
“I only brought three, since it consisted of three boys and three girls” The man said.
“Don’t worry sir, I and my baby will ride together” Carding wrapping his hand around her waist, Paige smiles, they took one of the bicycles and peddle off.
“I know I’m still courting you but you won’t mind riding with me, right?” Angelo asked and Sabrina smiles.
Both entered the second bicycles and peddle off.
“Seriously? You all will leave me here” Desiree said and sees Dylan looking at her, holding a bicycle.
“What”
“I won’t mind if you ride with me”
“Thanks but no thanks, the only person I will love to ride with is Bryan” Desiree said folding her hands.
“Alright then, stay here if you want to” Dylan said. He was about hopping on the bicycle, but stopped halfway and looks at Desiree.
“Aah before I forget, this place is filled with hoodlums, and they only attack girls who are alone. And since your a girl and all alone in this place, You’ll be an easy target” Dylan said and was about peddling on his bicycle when Desiree quickly said.
“Wait I’ll go with you” She said.
“I thought you didn’t want to” Dylan said.
“Well I changed my mind” Desiree rushly said hopping on the bicycle.
“Hold on tight” Dylan said and Desiree scoffs, folding her hands. Dylan intentionally halted the bicycle, Desiree almost fell off, but she quickly held his waist
“Are you crazy!” She halfyells.
“Thought you were strong” He muttered with a smile and continue with the ride. He met up with Carding and Angelo, and they all ride around the hills, having so much fun together.

“Let’s a play game” Paige said smiling. They made tents since they’ll be spending the night at the beach, and also set up fire too.
“What kind of game?” Sabrina asked.
“Whispering game. Someone will whisper a question to one person and that person who’s being ask, we answer the question openly. And then others will guess what the question is, curious to know what the question is, you’ll drink from your cups. So who’s in?”
“Me” They all curious at once.
The game began and Dylan whispers a question to Carding. Carding looks at Paige and smiles.
“No we haven’t” Carding said.
Angelo, Sabrina, Desiree and Paige drink from their cups curious to know what he asked.
“Okay fine, I asked if he and Paige already have S*x” Dylan asked.
“My hunch was right. Your rotten to the core” Desiree said and Dylan sticks out his tongue for her, while Desiree gave him a Füçk you sign.
The game continues and Carding whispers a question to Angelo.
“Sabrina” Angelo said and Sabrina looks at him.
“I think I know the question to this answer. Carding you ask him who he wants to spend the rest of his life with, right?” Paige asked, and Carding nods.
“Wow Sabrina you should prepare to wear a wedding gown soon” Desiree teased and they all laugh.
Angelo looks at Sabrina and she only smiled slightly, still doesn’t know what love feels like.
Angelo whispers a question to Dylan and Dylan smiles.
“Desiree” Dylan said.
“Me? Why did you mention my name? Angelo what did you ask him?” Desiree said and rushly drank from her cup.
“I asked him who’s the fattest among the three of you was” Angelo said and Dylan Laughs.
Desiree stood up angrily and went to him, pulling his hair.
“How dare you call me fat!!” She spats.
“But is true, you almost lessed the tyres of my bicycle” Dylan said and Desiree pulls his hair the more.
“Let go off my hair… Ouch!!” He screams out but Desiree cared less.
One of the legs of the chair he was sitting on broke, he quickly grabbed Desiree’s waist and both landed together on the ground, with their lips colliding with each other.
Eyes went wide opened…
