* Ring , Ring *
I picked up my phone making my crown fall .
" Hello " - my voice coming out broken .
" Scarlet where are you ? I hope you didn't do anything stupid . "- a scolding Mark responded .
" I - "- I stammer only bursting out in tears .
" Scarlet are you okay ? " - he rushed in asking .
" I - um - "- I feel chocked up and cough painfully .
" Scarlet ? Scarlet ! Where are you ? Scarlet talk to me , Scarlet please ... "-
I pick up my phone and place it on my ear .
" My - my * coughs * my old house . " - I ended the call lying still by my sister .
" I got a crown Janet , but You will always be the Queen of this family . "- I closed my eyes and hoped the harshness of the rain falling on my body will somehow relief me from the pain within me .
" My life is a mess and I need -* sniff * Allah . I need to speak to dad , don't you think . ---To thank him for ruining my life . For scarring me till eternity , for making my heart bleed and lastly ---
making me lose my beloved mom and sister . "

" Scarlet ! Scarlet ! --- Scarlet ! " - I laid there still waiting for whoever called to come find me .
" Scarlet , what's wrong with you ! Get up , " - Beatrice embraced me helping me get up but shook my head ; I needed to be here .
" Please Scarlet , let's get you into warmth . "- Kelvin begged beside me .
" If you don't get up then we're staying here with you . " - Mark stubbornly remarked with the rest taking a seat around me .
" We're sorry for everything that's happened , " - Beatrice comforted with a caress .
" You can do this Scarlet , you're the strongest girl I've ever met and I know you can go through this . "- Kelvin .
" Plus , we are and will always be there for you . " - Maya .
" There'll always be our creator to guide us , he plans for everything; he's the master planner after all . You just have to have faith , "- Mark
" Yes ; as religious Mark has said "- Kelvin .
" I'm really serious Kelvin , "- Mark glared
" And I'm not joking , i understand you ; we all need the creator in our lives . I understand that , we all have problems since no one is perfect . For instance , due to the experiments my parents performed on me , it made my white teeth permanently bright white , I guess it was benefit or something since they were able to suck out the dangerous ones . Negative side ; everything gets stuck in between them and it's so faustrating ! "- Kelvin cried out .
I smiled at his plight and made Jared help me sit up .
" I've tried everything to fix it you know , I didn't work so I made it a part of my life . I learnt to live with it . " He continued with a smile . I remember saying he had blinding teeth the day we first met .
Jared - " We all have our problems that we deal with but that doesn't mean it's the end of our lives . For instance ; after my parents dumped me in a dumpster , I got an infection in my respiratory system which prevented me from being able to breathe in the too much smoke , perfume * smiles sadly * anything apart from oxygen I guess but I learnt to live with it . Miss . Summer was of great help and so are my new parents , "
