OUTSKIRTS OF NEW YORK**
Adelia brought November’s food to her room as usual, but she’s not in.
Her eyes widened and she quickly dropped the tray of food on the ground.
She rushed to the bathroom, but she’s not there.
She ran out and that’s when she noticed the window was broken.
“Oh no, Matteo!!” She shouted, rushing out.
Matteo met her by the door.
“What?, Why did you scream?”
“Ember… she’s not… she’s gone”
“What!”

Inability to take it anymore was what made November break the window with a chair.
Initially, she thought her parents might get in trouble if she steps out, but right now she doesn’t care.
It sounds like greediness, but presently, greed is cool.
She was slowly losing her mind, and she couldn’t think straight anymore, her head was becoming blank, and her mind was becoming vacant, that’s why she took the risk.
Even if it’s just a peek of Newton, she’s ok with it, though she’s sure that she won’t be able to leave after taking a peak, but she just wants to try it out before thinking about the outcome.
As she ran down the street, the hot summer breeze made her tangled hair cover her face.
Her face was bedecked with red spots as a result of mosquito bites from her room, her lips broke into segments already, her eyes hasn’t stopped reddening.
She’s barefooted, and her feet looks unhealthy, her nails became rough already.
Everything contributed to making her look like a mentally deranged person as she ran.
People stopped to stare at her.
No one even recognizes her as the November in the s*x video, all they see is a mad girl who just lost her senses.
As she ran, she’s crying slowly.
She stepped on glasses, and it wounded her foot badly, but she didn’t even stop to check.
She fell at a point,but she stood and continued her race till she got to the main road.
She waved for cars to stop, but none of them is ready to let a mad girl into their cars.
When the seventh car refused to stop, she cried more.
She doesn’t even know which part of New York she is, it’d have been easier if she knew, but she’s clueless.
She ran to a coming woman.
“Please, which part of New York is this?” She asked.
“Out of my way!” The woman pushed her and she fell.
She stood and rushed to a guy.
“Which part of…
“F*ck off!, You stink!” He told her off before leaving.
She rushed to a man.
“Please could you tell me…
“Insane people are multiplying in New York these days” he muttered and pushed her aside before walking away.
She decided to continue running, and she did continued.
She was already getting tired when she saw a cabbage truck, the driver was just about to move.
She ran to the truck and entered the back, hiding in the middle of the cabbages.
The car moved, and she breathed heavily.
“Lady Sawyer can kill me if she wants, everyone should crucify me because of the video, I just wanna be with my bunny again” she said to herself, praying silently that the driver should not get suspicious.
After two hours drive, the car stopped.
The driver came out of the car and entered a building.
She peeped out and saw a familiar environment, then she jumped down from the truck.
The environment might look familiar, but she still has no idea where it is, her brain is messy right now.
She was about to start crying again when she saw Lucien, her enemy at home back then, the guy she once beat to pulp.
“Lucien?” She said, rushing to him.
She held his shirt, and his eyes widened when he saw her.
“Who the hell are you!, Get your hands off me mad Bîtch!” He made to push her away, but she held tighter.
“January to November is for trouble, December is for rest” she said, his eyes widened.
“Hang on…. November?” He said shockingly.
“It’s me”
“What the hell happened to you!, Why are you like this!, Why….
“Please I need your phone” she intruded impatiently.

OK PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL**
Newton was asleep on his bed when his phone rang beside him.
Ricardo and Ronaldo were the ones beside him, so Ricardo took the phone.
“Whose number is this?” He wondered, picking slowly.
“Silver?, Silver is that you?, Silver!” November’s voice came, and his eyes widened.
Ricardo spranged up immediately.
“November!” He almost screamed.
Ronaldo jumped up.
“November?” He said shockingly.
“Where’s Silver!, Hand over to Silver” November shouted.
“November?” Ricardo said shockingly again, that woke Newton up.
He blinked twice before spranging up from the bed.
“That’s my toy!, I told you you can’t touch it!” snatched the phone from Ricardo.
“Silver?, Silver is that you?” November’s voice spoke from the phone, and Newton stopped moving.
“Silver talk to me, I really need to see you as soon as possible before I run mad, please talk…
“Muffin?” Newton cut her off.
“Bunny it’s me, it’s me your Gracie”
Newton jumped down from the bed immediately.
“Gracie?, Gracie” he whispered, her face coming clear in his head as her voice penetrated.
“Where are you?, Tell me where!!” He shouted, rushing out of the ward.
“We better go after him” Ronaldo said.
He ran after him with Ricardo.
Newton got out of the hospital and started looking around.
“Where are you?, Tell me already!!!” He said impatiently, his heart ready to jump out of his chest as it beat wildly.
“The new bank building, not far from OK psychiatric hospital” Lucien’s voice said.
Newton looked at the hospital, OK psychiatric hospital was written bold and clear.
“Where’s the bank building?” He muttered, sweating so much already.
He started running barefooted down the road, looking for any sign of a new building.
His foot hurts as it hit repeatedly on the ground, but that’s minor right now.
“Silver!!!” Gracie’s voice suddenly called, and he stopped.
He turned to the right, and his eyes widened when he saw her.
No matter how shabby and unhealthy she looks, like a lunatic… he’d always recognize her, his heart would always.
She’s standing in front of the bank building at the other side of the road, but immediately she saw him, she started walking to the road.
“Gracie” he muttered, running into the road.
He almost got hit by a car, and he fell.
He stood almost immediately, not minding the curses from the driver.
They both ran on the road, impatient to be in each other’s arms.
The coming and going cars had to stop, hold up happened.
They finally took the last step to each other, and November jumped in a monkey style on him in the middle of the road.
Her eyes went shut Immediately, same with his own as their bodies collided in the tightest hug that ever happened.
