*******{FLASHBACK}******

Mariana walked into the elevator, she was going to the 10th where her stepfather, Bernard was. He had had an accident while working at the construction site, and he had been rushed to the hospital by his colleagues.

Just exactly at the 6th floor, the door ding open and a fine man walked in. He looked quite tall that when he walked in and stood beside her, she felt so small.

    Mariana's POV Something clicked within Mariana when she heard her name. She knew who exactly was calling her, and her mind swirled with a thousand thoughts of what her bestfriend was doing here."Zendaya?" The two friends stared momentarily at each other, stunned by their high taste gowns and donning hairstyles.Mariana felt a slow twist in her stomach, Zenny had been around since her encounter with Devon and never for once had Zendaya ever sought her out.She had wanted to hear all about what had come out of it. She had wanted a shoulder to cry on when her father was making hell on earth for her. She had wanted......She swallowed the rest of her thoughts. It doesn't matter anymore. She would try to listen to her bestfriend, and possibly get to understand her. But she would only try."What are you doing here?" Zendaya came closer."I would ask the same of you." Mariana tried a painful smile. Her lips were painted in the exact colour of her dress.Zendaya scoffed, turned behind her

    Suzzie's POV "Isabella?" Tyler interrupted.I breathed a sigh of relief when all eyes tore away from me and rested on Tyler.Isabella feigned a bright smile while she extricated her arm from her Mrs Skyler's arm."What are you doing here?" Tyler narrowed his brows.Isabella had high cheekbones when she smiled, and how hard her lips were curled upwards, it didn't seem to move Tyler."My father is one of the lucky awardees. I had to come in place of him," she replied."Really?" Tyler eyed his mother, from the corner of his eyes."I had to string her along, Tyler. She wouldn't want to come here after all. It's been so long, and she glad you're doing quite well." Mrs Skyler chipped.Tyler's gaze fell on me, "I suppose you've met Miss Suzzie Meyer," Tyler stretched one hand towards me as he smiled at me.I put my drink away as I took his hand, stepping forward with an exposed dentition."I was just telling her who she was," Mrs Skyler scoffed, trying hard to wave off the introduction."Al

    Suzzie's POV "Where was he taking me to?" He wouldn't let me in on that. He wheeled out afterwards while I walked by his side."What's happening, where are you going?" His mother looked at Tyler with worried eyes when she noticed his change of clothes."I'm taking Suzzie out," Tyler passed me his sweetest smile, and I smiled back.Wayne smirked, shaking his head. "There's enough time for that, bro. Why the hurry?""Didn't you remind me of the Gala party taking place this evening?" Tyler's brow arched."Oh, yeah, yeah." Wayne shot a smile. "But....,""No buts, Wayne. You people should stop treating me like I was almost at a death point." Tyler said."But you almost died. We need to get you a new cook, she could have killed you," Mrs Skyler's eyes darted back at me."Mother, will you stop with that nonsense? She had no idea that I had an allergy to nuts or whatever. You should stop blaming her for a mistake." Tyler warned."A mistake that could have caused you your life," Mrs Skyler

    Suzzie's POV Dad was right, I was gradually clouded by emotions! How could I get stricken by the moment and let myself......my hand stared down at my scarred hand.It reminded me of what I'd just touched, his....please, let's not say the word.I thought his legs don't work, then why would his third leg come alive?But, it had really happened. Tyler had kissed me, and I had let him kiss me. And I had truly enjoyed it."Suzzie, is something wrong?"
