The moment Ace walked out of the dining hall, he set her down on her feet.
"Thanks..." She mumbled, smiling at him.
"It's late, go to your room" He said and she nodded, walking away but she suddenly paused when her phone rang.
She brought it out of her pocket and answered the call.
"Hello, this is silly ki...."
"Kitty, there's a big problem!" Felix cut her off.
"What? I hope mom is fine?" She asked.
"No, someone turned off her life support machine and took off her oxygen mask. She's in a lot of danger right now, I'm not sure she's going to survive it..."
"No, she'll be fine. I'll be right there, I'm coming!" Kitty mumbled as she rang off.
Ace just stared at her retrieving figure, he couldn't hear what she was saying over the phone but he saw the tensed look on her face as she ran out.
He just turned around and walked towards his office, he has a lot to do tonight.

Percy stayed inside her room throughout the day, she hasn't eaten and doesn't even feel like. She was just cuddled up in her blanket with her phone in her hand as she scrolled through social media.
"Honey, someone's here to see you!" Helena said, knocking on the door and Percy sighed.
"I don't want to see anyone...." Percy mumbled.
"It's a friend" Helena said and Percy sprang up from the bed, thinking it was Kitty she quickly ran and opened the door.
Her expression changed the moment she saw Mark and Helena standing in front of her.
Percy tried to close the door but Mark quickly placed his foot in the way.
"Go away, I don't want to talk to you" Percy said, folding her arms.
"I'll leave you both..." Helena said and walked away.
"I'm sorry...." Mark said as he walked in and closed the door.
"Sorry for what exactly? That your mom hates me or that I was framed and called a thief?" She said.
"I know things are hard but we can make it work, I promise things will only get better from here" He said, gently pulling her in for a hug but she pushed him away.
"I'm tired, I don't want this type of relationship where I'll just keep getting hurt, how exactly do you want us to work when your mom obviously hates me more than the devil. And Liv, she won't let us be at peace.... I just can't keep getting hurt" Percy mumbled, lowly.
"What are you trying to say? You want to give up on us so easily? We can get through this together please" He said and she shook her head.
"It's better you leave Mark, please just leave me alone!" She said, harshly.
"Fine, if you want to end us without a fight them it's alright. I'll learn to stay away from you, I won't bother your perfect life again, I promise you won't face any problems because of me. Good bye Percy!" He said and walked away.
Percy broke down into tears the moment he walked through the door.
"Are you alright?" Helena asked, softly as she walked in.
Percy shook her head and hugged her tightly, crying harder.

Snow sat on a chair in the veranda as she stared at the stars with a bowl of ice cream in her hand.
"Snow white..." A familiar voice called from behind and she turned her head to find Blaze walking towards her with his usual charming smile.
"Why are you here all alone?" He asked as he sat next to her.
"Just thinking..." She replied with a sigh.
"About me?" He chuckled and she scoffed.
"You wish. I was just thinking about what to do to get Stone's attention" She said.
"Can you help me?" She pouted, facing him.
"No, I don't get what exactly you like about him" Blaze sighed.
"Are you jealous?" Snow asked in a playful voice.
"Yes, I'm jealous. I'm very very jealous" He replied and she blinked.
"What exactly do you like about him?" He asked and she gently bit her lips.
"I don't know, he's just the type of person I've always wanted, he's nice and handsome and he's just cool...."
"He's not that nice, he ignores you most times and I'm also handsome and very cool...." He said and she laughed, hitting his chest tightly.
"Stop joking, I'm serious here. I really like him" She said.
"Don't you think he's off, he's pretty strange to me..." Blaze said and rolled her eyes.
"He's not off, he's just perfect...." She smiled, dreamily and he stood up.
"Are you leaving?" She asked and he nodded.
"I'm having dinner with Stacey, I wasn't planning on going initially but I think I'll go..." He said and walked away.

~NEXT DAY~
Kitty sat next to her mother throughout the night, she didn't leave or move from where she sat all night.
Her mind kept wondering on who would remove her mother's oxygen mask and try to kill her, if something happens to her mother then she'll probably die.
Her mother has been the only thing keeping her going, everytime she thinks of giving up, she just reminds herself that one day, her mother would wake up and they would live a peaceful and happy life again.
All the suffering and stress can not be in vain, she'll definitely get to be happy! One day.
"Kitty..." Felix called, walking into the room and Kitty quickly wiped her tears.
"Y..yes..." She replied, her voice sightly cracked.
"Are you okay?" He raised a brow and she nodded with a smile.
"She's getting better but I think you need to go home and take care of yourself, you don't look too good" He said and she pouted.
"Is that an insult? I look amazing" She smiled, flipping her hair dramatically.
"That's not what I mean, silly kitty. Go home and rest you need it" He said and she shook her head.
"I'm perfectly fine. I'll just stay here for today, I'll leave tomorrow" She replied.
"We're still investigating but we found nothing about the person who tried to kill her, we checked the CCTV footage but it was deleted, completely blank" He sighed.
"Please you need to do something, what if the person comes back. I don't want to lose her!" Kitty panicked.
"Don't worry, we've tightened the security no one can get in without my permission" He said and Kitty nodded.

~NORWICH COLLEGE~
Percy stood at a side, clenching her fist and biting her lips as she watched Mark and Liv walked into the school, holding hands.
Liv was all smiles as she cart walked into the school while Mark had a blank unreadable expression on his face.
Mark walked pass her like she wasn't even there, she just sighed and walked into the school.

~CAFETERIA~
The school was having a general lunch break for all the students including the teacher.
Percy sluggishly walked into the cafeteria with a drained face, she could hardly concentrate on all her classes so far which was totally unlike her.
She ordered for a hamburger and fries and sat on a desk alone, she took occasionally bites while staring into thin air.
Soon Make and Percy walked in, stealing the attention of everyone.
"Are they dating?"
"They look so good together!"
"I love you both!!!"
"Lastest couple!"
Percy just looked elsewhere, roughly biting her hamburger, soon she heard everyone cheering and she looked around, her eyes landed on Liv, who was sitting on Mark's laps, kissing him!
Percy couldn't hold the tears in her eyes, she instantly stood up and ran out of the cafeteria when a girl bumped into her and the tray of food she was holding stained her top.
"Am so sorry..." The girl gasped, Percy ignored her and ran into the restroom.
She turned on the tap and slowly began cleaning her top as she sobbed.
Why is even crying? She's the one that wanted him to stay away, she wanted her perfect life back. So why does it hurt so much seeing him with someone else?!
"Hey neird?" Melissa smiled, moving closer to her.
"What do you want?" Percy asked as she took off her glasses to wipe her tears.
"I just want you to know that you're a big fool...." Melissa said and Percy glared at her.
"You...."
"He got over you pretty quickly like he never even liked you in the first place. You have the brains of a four years old child, crying over a boy?" Melissa scoffed and Percy sniffled.
"See. All boys are the same, they pretend to like you and when you fall for them, they'll f+ck you and ditch you the next day!" Melissa said.
"Why are you telling me all these?" Percy asked.
"I know I don't like you but I hate boys more so seeing a girl crying over a worthless guy isn't something I can tolerate..." Melissa said.
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Make him see that he doesn't affect you at all. If he can get over you so easily then you can do the same"

"Boss I've done it..." Stone said over the phone.
"Good, the moment the bomb goes off, you need to leave that place at once. Don't let them get you!"
"Yes boss" Stone replied and ended the call.

~AFTERNOON~
Kitty finally left the hospital after mich persuasion from Dr. Felix, she took a cab home because she was too weak to walk.
She hasn't eaten all day and it felt like she was going to faint anytime soon. As soon as the cab stopped, she got down and paid the driver before walking in.
She was on her way to her room when she felt someone's hand hold her from behind, she turned to find Ace with his usual calm look.
"Oh, hi..." She said, awkwardly.
"Where were you?" He asked, point-blank.
"Did you miss me?" She smiled and he scoffed.
"In your dreams. Everywhere was so peaceful it made me wonder where the little demon went?" He chuckled and she frowned.
"Am I the little demon?" She pouted, titling her head cutely.
"Yes. Next time you're going out let someone know, alright?" He asked.
"Awwnnn... You were worried about me" She gushed.
"Keep dreaming!" He mumbled and walked away.
"I'll see you later. I'm coming to clean your room soon!!" She yelled as she watched him walk away.
She ran into her room and took a bath, eat before going to start cleaning everywhere.

~ACE'S OFFICE~
Ace was staring at his collection of guns on the table when Travis ran into the office, breathing heavily.
"Boss, the bomb detector went off" Travis said.
"Bomb? Is there a bomb around?" He raised a brow.
"Yes, I traced it. It's in your room. It's gonna go off soon, I just wanted to make sure you weren't in there" He said.
"In my room?!"
"Yes, it's not a large bomb, even if it goes off. It won't affect anywhere much" Travis said.
"F+ck!... Kitty!" Ace dashed out of the room in an instant, he ran towards his room but before he could get to the door....
The bomb exploded!
The impact pushing him back with much force, he fell to the ground and groaned, as he watched the door burn down completely.
