       ARIANA'S POV

I tried forcing my eye open,feeling a slight pain at the back of my head.  

The throbbing headache I felt was being calmed by someone Patting my hair, caressing it softly.It's definitely Dad, no one else could be so close to me right now. 

I opened my eyes and tried to look at the person on whose laps I was resting. At first I thought I was just seeing things, but when I actually opened my eyes, it was him, it was this bastard! 

"Rick!!!", I yelled  jumping up in anger. 

What is this murderer doing here?, even caressing me? 

" You're awake Leena ",he said softly trying to touch me. 

I beat his hands away in utter anger. 

" How dare you try to touch me?, are you mad?, you fool!, You murderer ", I yelled on top of my voice at him. 

" What's wrong with you Leena", he asked again. 

"Hold it there Rick and just stop calling me Leena.  What the hell am I doing here?, and you, who let you in here?? ", I asked the glare still on my face. 

" Who's Rick", he asked looking strangely at me.

I tore into laughter, letting it rock my face back and forth. 

"Rick, stop this ok?, if this is one of your crazy tricks and games I swear I'll get back at you", I swore. 

Guessing why I hate Rick?,well he killed my mom when I was 10yrs old.  She had died at the blueberry forest and his arrow was found in her chest. I guess he was 15yrs old then, he kept claiming that mom was dead before he found her but I really won't buy such story from him.  He's a goddamned murderer and since then till now that we're fully grown, we've been enemies, beating up and hurting each other anywhere we met. I keep wondering why the cops let him go after he killed my own mother.

"Leena....? ", he called softly again jolting me back to reality. 

" Why are you calling me Leena?, my name is Ariana ok?, Ariana Williams. In case you forgot you asshole ", I cursed at him. 

" You disappear for 3 days and come back claiming to be Ariana?, listen to me Leena, your mom's worried about you and she'll be here soon".

"My mom?, how dare you Rick?, you kill my mom and then tell me she's worried about me?, are you just trying to remind me about your sins? ", I asked angrily. 

" My name is Maxxy not Rick. I really think you should stay back here and get treated ", he said. 

" Rick,if you dare say one more word about my dead mother I'll...... "

I was cut short by the door opening and a woman came in. 

No, not just any woman, my mom. 

She died 10yrs ago, I saw her dead body.  I was at her grave yard crying 10yrs ago, up till I turned 20.

How can she be standing right here in my presence?, there's something wrong somewhere. 

I felt my eyes rolling and I fell to the floor before blacking out. 

        

      

       LEENA'S POV

"Is she awake?"

"Is she dead?"

"What happened to her? "

I kept hearing those voices and I opened my eyes.  Looking around people were gathered around me looking intently at my face.  I staggered up and looked at my self covered in mud, then I looked around again for mom but she wasn't even in sight. 

Wait, where am I?, this certainly isn't Zino city, cos of it were I won't be here by now.  But if it isn't Zino city it's where?, I mean I can't remember traveling out. 

I quickly took out my phone to call mom but there was no network at all. I kept trying but the phone won't turn on the network. 

"Can I use your phone?, I asked a woman nearby. 

" Yes child ", she said giving me the phone.

 I stared her. 

'Child'?

Who dared  call a superstar and a celebrity like me child? 

I sighed and took the phone from her. 

I tried mom's number severally but it kept telling me the number doesn't exist, then I tried Maxxy's own and it was the same.  The fault might be from the woman's phone so I returned it and turned to another person. 

"Can I use your phone? "

"Of course"

I tried the numbers and it kept telling me the numbers doesn't exist. I kept borrowing phones till the 5th person I decided to try my own number and guess what?, it doesn't exist too. 

This is crazy!, where am I?, why isn't my phone turning on?, why am I putting on a casual dress?, I don't belong here, I'm a super star, I'm a pop star, well known musician around Zino city. 

"Look who decides to show up", a voice said behind me. 

I know this voice well, I do know this voice. I turned and true to my thoughts, it was Maxxy.  I knew he'd come get me out of this confusion.  I ran towards him hugging him so tightly. 

       

         RICK'S POV

She hugged me.  No wait, Ariana hugged me? 

I quickly got over the shock and pushed her away. 

"You decided to show up? ", I asked trying to avoid talking about the hug. 

" I don't understand what you mean Maxxy ",she said quietly. 

" You don't understand what Ariana?, did you run away to punish me?, if you did then I'd like to say you really got me there!"

"Maxxy are you ok? ", she asked softly. 

" Rick!, RICK'S the name young lady.  And I'm dragging you to the cops right now so there can see you're totally fine.  They beat me up every day saying I hurt you.  You run away and for 3days the cops beat me up! "

"Who's Rick and Ariana? ", she asked and I looked at her confused. 

" I'm Rick and you're Ariana "

"No it can't be.  I'm Leena Rashford a super star and you're Maxxy my boyfriend"

Immediately she said that I couldn't help the laughter that escaped my lips. I laughed so hard that tears rolled down my cheeks. 

"Ariana, go meet your Dad ok?, he's probably going to die soon out of blood pressure."

"My dad?, what do you mean Maxxy?, you know that my mom killed Dad 10yrs ago, why bring that up as a joke?", she said. 

I looked at her like the lunatic she really is.  

... Mom killed Dad? 

Really?, she's drunk and mad. 

She always said I killed mom, what now?
