Me:" okay, send me her picture aswell. Thanks bro " I hang up and sigh

Mbuso:" what's wrong bro? "

Me:" there's this girl that I saw in the club I was at last nght, she was with her friends and I couldn't keep my eyes away from her. I told sbu about it and showed her and now he tells me that one of his bouncers girlfriend is friends with that girl I saw last night and now that same girl I like has a boyfriend and apparently he's beating her up "

Mbuso:" you want us to go there? "

Me:" No, he sent me the address.. I'll go alone. Just go to my house and I'll find you there. You need some time to process everything this bitch said but what I need you to do is to find out everything about Ayanda Maseko, everything bro no stone left unturned ".

Him:" I'll do that but are you sure you want to involve yourself in that kind of situation? "

Me:" I don't know bro but I feel something for her and I can't let it go and not get to know her. If this is how I'm going to meet her and know her then I'm okay with it "

Him:" ok, I'll check her out after I call luh and when I'm done showering " I  give him my keys and then run out of the house and get in my car, put in the address on my GPS then drive out like a maniac.

I get to where they live and It's an okay flat but I hate it because it looks like junkies and criminals live here in this neighbourhood. I stop and park my car when I see Mark and two girls...yes the one's who looked drunk in the club are now running to get in the car. I get out of the car and run to mark.

Me:" Mark where's ayanda? "

Somelady:" who are you? " I ignore her she's short and looks like a teenager.

Mark:" boss you know her? " I nod

Mark:" I'm driving there now. Follow my car " I run to mine and drive behind them.

AYANDA.

I don't know if they heard me and what I said but I hope they did. I want to close my eyes and sleep but I'm scared that I won't ever open them up again if I try to. I hear police and ambulance sirens then footsteps of people running and then the door gets kicked open and I hear their gut renching cries it's karabo and lilly. They cut deep because I did that to me to us and I hope they'll forgive me someday.

Lilly:" Ayanda?, awake up ayanda it's us " she says shaking me

Me:" I'm sorry, so sorry, forgive me" they cry

Karabo:" Noo aya no, it's not your fault" lindi says and I close my eyes and they inject something on my arm

"You have to hurry she's losing conciousness, she's going to die damnit" its a man's voice that says that and it's the last thing I hear before I blackout
I can hear people talking but I can make out what they are saying or who they are. I try to open my eyes but they won't open, I try to get up cause I know I'm in bed but I can't do that too because I know I'm in the hospital and I still remember what happend, what tshepo did.

I must have made a sound cause I can hear someone calling a nurse. I open my eyes and its super bright "please close the blinds" my mouth feels like has been stuffed full with cotton. The person closes the blinds.
