LENA.A pain hit first, sharp and metallic, slicing across my neck where the knife had grazed me. I gasped, stumbling backward Into the bed but the pain was fleeting, disappeared as quickly as it came. My body tensed at first but then relaxed as the sting faded, leaving me oddly weightless. My fingers brushed the spot where the knife mark sat, it was healed. I blinked, trying to catch my bearing. Royce was in the room and he stood in front of Tracy with a cocky smirk. He didn't look like he cared about her. It pained me that I couldn't interfere. This was her moment hence I let her have it. Still, I couldn't believe she let him treat her like trash for ten years. Yet, she helped him. She sacrificed through the years while he lived like a king. Made me realise my pain was nothing compared to hers. I didn't know why I could suddenly feel her pain.

LENA. Leilani sat on my couch while I packed my bags.Then I grabbed my keys from the drawer below the TV when a knock came on my door. I froze, wondering who it was. My gaze slowly moved to Leilani; she was playing with the cube game that I had given her to distract her. Gently, I walked over to the door, grabbing the key as if it were a self-defense tool. Who was it? Fear ran through my spine. I grabbed the door handle and twisted it open. Pulling it back, I was met with a familiar face. Jenna. Only after did I realise that I had been holding my breath. She stepped in, holding her kids. They walked in and instantly Leilani’s face popped up. “Lena,” she said. I ran a hand through my hair. “I am leaving,” she added and then I turned to her. “I am sorry. I apologise for everything I did to you.
