Dumb

Johns has been sleeping for an hour now but he hears a scream from his sleep. He wakes up immediately.

He looks around him and all his mates are asleep. Was this real or just a dream?

He doesn't hear any sound. He sighs. This 'dream' just disturbed his sleep. Now he doesn't feel sleepy anymore.

He jerks himself off his comfy and exits his room. Once in the corridor, he realizes that he needs to relief himself. He walks to their restroom that is not far from girls'.

Something sounds and his ears receive the signal. What's that noise?

He wants to go the restroom first but he doesn't. He is eager to know where that sound is coming from. He didn't imagine someone will be up at this time.

He makes his way towards the opposite direction that leads to the girls' villa.

"The girls should be sleeping by now" he mumbles to himself.

But he doesn't go further when he stops directly at the door to the girl's bathroom. He looks at it with narrowed eyes. He leans in and presses his ear to listen to what is behind the close door.

Abigael is stiff. She can't talk nor move any of her limb after seeing the shadow and strong sensation of someone behind her. This shadow sees through the door and waits for Johns to leave but he doesn't.

He keeps waiting to listen to a sound. The same sound he heard in his sleep. Due to that, the dark force leaves and Abigael finds her breath. However, she is so weak.

She scratches the door with her nails. Thanks God for her that her nails are long. She always trimmed them. She struggles to stand to her feet but ends up hitting against the closed door.

Johns hears this sound and steps back, confirming that someone is inside and may come out anytime soon. He turns to leave when the door unlocks by itself.

He faces the door and his brows furrow. He realizes that the door can only be locked from outside. How did the person behind the door lock herself inside?

He is curious and knows that something is not right. Abigael hums after feeling the pain through her ear. She touches the area out of stamina and notices a stain of blood on her finger.

Her mouth paths and she sobs. John hears the cry and briskly trust open the door but it only hit her.

She cries again and he has to squeeze himself in through the crevice he created; his eyes meet hers and his whole world crumbles.

He stoops down to meet her with a clear expression of shock "Dyer"

He touches her cheek with sympathy and staring into her watery eyes "W-what happened to you?"

She can't speak. She lost her voice.

His eyes travel to the bleeding through her ears and he frowns intensively. He looks around thinking he will see who did this to her.

He finds none. He returns his gaze to her pale and swollen face "I'd get you out of here. Ok?"

She nods and he snakes his hands over her back and tights and lift her up to his crate, slightly jumping to position her firmly against him.

He notices her wet panties and a smell of pee. But he doesn't question her or makes an irritated face. He is more concern about her health and getting her out of this place.

He prudently walks out of the room, while holding her like a baby.

...

This morning everyone has been assembled concerning Abigael's case. Nice doesn't stop crying. She's an extremely vulnerable being: the list thing hurts her emotionally.

"If we discover who locked her in that restroom, we'd make sure that person receives the sanction that has never existed in BHSC" Mr. Michael warns

Hopefully they have a medical attendant in their midst who is looking over the poor girl.

Nice wipes her tears "I need to see her"

Evan nods "I'm coming with you-"

"Evan, can we please talk. Like right now?" Koryn's angelic voice sound behind both of them and Nice turns to face her but Evan knows who has such amazing voice.

He doesn't look at her. Nice is feeling uncomfortable as she looks at both of them. Koryn walks and stand before him in certainty.

"Please...I won't take much of your time" she pleads and Nice excuses herself with a faint smile "I should leave you two. We'd meet in the infirmary"

He wants to stop her but Koryn holds his arm. He exhales and they go somewhere calm.

Once they are just two of them, he asks "What do you want?"

"You" she responds almost immediately and his forehead folds.

"I need you Evan. I know what happened in the past between is was-very sad. But trust me I felt nothing for your brother. He forced himself on me. Why don't you believe that?"

Evan is just giving a 'seriously?!' glare

"Never mind. I don't want to talk about the past anymore. This has been hard for me. Listen," she walks closer to him "I still Love you. And I'm sorry I left. I couldn't stand you supporting your brother over me. It hurt my feeling. I felt like you didn't trust me. But I forgive you. I want everything to return to normal between us"

The young man chuckles, craning his brows "Wow! Just wow!" she is staring at him in confusion.

"Your right. I was stupid to have listened to my brother. But you gave up on me. You left"

"Yes, I did and now I am back" she pours out a sad face, tears forcing its way out.

...

Nice feels so insecure about what she is not aware of. She likes Evan. And she admits that Koryn's presence back then was aching. However, what can she do? She's not even sure he feels same for her.

She carries her solitude into Abi's room. She meets John seated on her bed staring at her like a precious gem.

She smiles and walks right in closing the door behind her, "How is she?"

Johns cranes his head towards her direction and replies "She's better. But still can't speak"

Abi is lying in bed motionless. There are two cottons in her ears. Nice's eyes waters once again. It hurts seeing her friend in this condition.

"You think she's going to fine?" she's scared

"I believe she will. She's strong"

Nice stands there for a moment and something pushes her to inquire "How did you meet her there?"

Johns knows she is talking of last night. He starts narrating until the end, when she opens her eyes slowly.

Nice sees it first and followed to him. They all smile broadly to see her awake.

Johns robs her hair over and kisses the crown of her head; his lips feeling like heaven on her soft skin. This makes Abi blush. He smirks at her silent responds.

"Abigael, I missed you so much" Nice pecks the back of her hand.

The lady teen tries to speak but remembers that she doesn't have a voice anymore. She smiles back faintly, feeling sad for herself.

Johns notices it and keeps robing her hair in assurance. Nice searches for a pen around with a piece of paper.

"Here, have this and tell us anything you want us to know"

Abi looks at her and holds the sheet and pen, bringing them to her face as she starts jotting words down.

Once she is done, she hands it back and her friends read them loudly "I saw her. The ghost"

They stop and stare at one another; Nice understanding what is going on but Johns is still unaware about the matter.
