“Jacey? Jacey, wake up.” I found my consciousness awaken after I felt someone shake me and whisper those words unto me. I could open my eyes… but what the hell I'd rather not…

                “Jacey! Jacey wake up.” The shaking is rougher and the sound is louder this time that even though I hate to, I moved and tried to open my eyes. I looked up in some sort of confusion but it didn’t take a minute or two for me to realize that I am still in Ace’s van. I looked at Mysti. She’s awake now and she seems to be waiting for me.

                Her look was of that with question. “You go left by the Bee Restaurant right?” I nodded in affirmation.

                “So yeah, that’s right Mr. Martin, you turn left at the sight of Bee Restaurant.”

                “Before the Bee Restaurant?” The driver assured.

                “Yeeeeeep!” I confirmed as I stretched out my arms, fully waking up. The old man raised his arm up to acknowledge then went on. We weren’t actually there yet but we are close. Ah finally…oops…NO. NO!!!

                I clutched Mysti’s hand. The question still lingers and so as the fear. “What should I say to them?” I whispered to Mysti.

                Mysti’s look was definitely confused. “I thought it’s the staircase?”

                “Yeah but I mean---“ I covered my mouth before the thought could even escape. I just realized I’m with Ace and if in any case he would find out…speaking of which, where’s---

                Well I shouldn’t have looked for him. Because the minute I did, he rose from the back seat like a zombie rising from the dead. His eyes were definitely groggy. With his eyes close, he massages his eyebrows after which pinched his glabella to fight the drowsiness that kept on coming in. He stayed like that for about 4 to 5 seconds before he finally opened his eyes and fully woke up.

                Mr. Martin turned left already by the time he used his ipad as a mirror and fixed his hair.

                “At the first intersection turn left.” I instructed once again. I gripped Mysti tighter. She’s staying her cool…and so as he…seriously? Am I the only one panicking right now?

                The closer we get, the colder my palms get. I am so not ready to lie, let alone show them my current state…and there's the fact that Ace brought me here and all…

                “Here…” My breathing stopped as the van stopped. Ace opened the van then went down.

                “You can do it.” I heard Mysti whisper to my ear. I took a deep breath. Well, here goes nothing.

                I took my crutch and hopped my way out.

                “No, no, don’t!” I literally shooed Ace’s hands away.

                “Wha—“

                “I can do it. Okay?” I explained and he raised his arms up backing out. “Okay.” He swooned.

                Well, I have to do it. Though my armpit still hurts with the crutch I have to bear with it. He watched as I slowly hopped my way into the gates…there is this one problem though.

                It’s locked. I know I’m a bit tan but I can definitely visualize how pale I’ve looked like after seeing the lock.
