? Adrian's POV ?
"What are you thinking about?", Aiden asked walking into my room.
"Lots of things", I replied staring outside through the window and holding my teddy close to my chest.
"You wanna talk about it?"
I sighed. "Okay. I'm just worried about Frank. I wonder what's gonna happen. I'm feeling uneasy like something big is coming."
"You don't have to worry yourself. Frank will be given an appropriate punishment for his actions and your name would be cleared. And you'd be fine. I promise you. I won't let anything happen to you."
I smiled dryly. "I know I'm just still scared."
"Don't be. How was the yesterday's date?"
"It was nice", I said smiling. "We are a couple already."
"What?!"
"You heard me, Aid", I said rolling my eyes.
"Woah! That's incredible. Who would have thought you guys can be friends not to talk about dating?"
"What do you mean?"
"I thought you guys hate each other."
"Just shut

We waited for some minutes and Frank was brought in accompanied by 2 policemen. As soon as he entered, he looked around and his eyes landed on mine.

There's no choice for you", he shouted but I didn't listen.I continued running and I saw Aiden running towards me from the right."Continue running, Adrie. I will distract him."I shook my head. "No. I can't-""Promise me!", He shouted making me flinch."I promise", I said and went back to my running."I love you, Adrie. Just know that", I heard him shout.

Do you know where Karen's mother is cause we need her.""What do we need her for?"She stood up from her sit and started pacing around.

"I said it's okay", I replied him again like I have been doing since when the lawyer said she found Karen's mother's location."I'm just worried about you, that's all.""Don't give yourself unnecessary high blood pressure.""It's my duty to worry about you, princess.""Okay, I get it. Aiden would be there with me so don't think of coming with me."His face fell. I knew he had been thinking of going to Karen's mum's with me but I don't want that.

I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood and visit the park down the street. I really miss my parents. We were always going to one place or the other on every Saturday. Mum usually call it family day and I totally agreed with her. We were always together on Saturdays but unfortunately, they died on a Saturday too.I got to the park and sat on a long bench and looked around the park.

I've heard it maybe once or twice but it doesn't sound that familiar.I heard rumbling as the person stood up from the bed and walked."I'm bored and there is no one that's gonna play with me", I heard the voice mumbling. Then I recognized the voice then.Harper.What is she doing here?
