Maya could hear the wind rush through her ears, with her scream filling the air, and the next second everywhere turned black
*******
The hospital buzzed with people and then Kate who wouldnt stop pacing up and down, she had been in the hospital for almost 6 hours
"Ma'am you need to rest, I'll l stay here and keep you updated" Xavier said as she helped her seat
"How would I rest knowing my daughter is in such state" she said, with tears on her eyes
"This is the best hospital in the state, she will be fine, trust me, you need a shower" he said with a smile
"It's you guys isn't it? You guys did this to her" Kate said, crying even more, Xavier did everything to calm her down till she finally agreed to go home and take a shower, have something to eat and return, she didn't want any rest.
Maya was found few minutes after she was pushed, she was immediately rushed to the hospital, luckily she survived it but she had slipped into a coma ever since, although her body were still open and accepting treatment.

"What the hell!!!! How the fuck did she fall of the rooftop" Mr Lancaster yelled through the phone "My daughter is behind bars and the officers requests Maya presence now you are telling me she is in the damn hospital" Mr Lancaster was obviously loosing it
"I have no idea how the situation got this messy, we don't know for sure if she was pushed..... But we can't tell the press she was pushed or else the situation will get worse" the principal said from the other end
"And if we tell them it was a suicide, it will more worse, the masses will assume she committed suicide because of all the injustice she faced" Mr Lancaster said, pinching the lines between his forehead
"Things would have been easier if words about her accident hadn't come out" the principal sighed
"What do you expect, her mother is a bigger trouble than her, a few minute her daughter is in an accident and she have already let the entire Internet know about it" Mr Lancaster said
"I'll handle it..... Just let me speak to our other school sponsors" the principal said before hanging up.
"What did he say honey, my poor baby have never even been to a station before let alone behind bars" Beatrice wept
"Shut up you useless woman, I'm trying to do what I can, you care so much about your useless daughter being behind bars while turning a blind eye to the wrong she did, she deserves to rot there" he yelled in anger, shoving his wife aside as he walked past her in rage.

"Where are you going?" Victor asked, as he noticed his son leaving the house
"Since when did you started keeping tracks on where I go?" Adrian asked
"Ever since you created a mess for me" Victor said dryly, Adrian just rolled his eyes at his dad refusing to say anything
"I tried avoiding this situation and the press but I guess just like you, I'm stucked, since I'm a huge sponsor of CrestWood Academy, I have to answer to her accident, suicide or attempt to murder" he sighed
"What does it have to do with me?" Adrian asked
"Come with me, we shall go see the mother of this girls stirring trouble, we shall get her to say that Maya is in the hospital as a result of a sickness, I already spoke to the doctor in charge to deal with her reports" Victor said dryly
"You are covering up more evil?" Adrian asked his voice laced with disgust
"You seem to have grown some nerves son" Victor said coldly staring so hard, Adrian could feel his skin turn cold, he was still intimidated by his father no matter how hard he tried to stand up to him
"OK... Let's go I know the address" he said before turning around and leaving.
*********
Kelly on the other hand fled immediately she pushed Maya, she had no idea what to do so she had gone to the police station to see Ariana, who in turn was upset at seeing her
"Why are you here!" Ariana said with spite
"I did something horrible..... I killed her.... I.... Pushed her...." Kelly whispered amidst tears
"Just shut up please, I managed to speak with Adrian, he said Maya is alive and fine..... He came here actually to threaten me..... Guess what Kelly he knows you did it, he just doesn't have a solid prove, which shouldn't be a problem to Adrian Cole" Ariana stated dryly. Kelly was instantly scared, no one except Maya knew what she did and now she was alive, she was definitely going to jail, she started crying even more, dragging her hair in agony
"So sorry Kelly, the fact that your parents are so religious if they find out what you did they will let you rot in jail" Ariana said with a laugh
"All this is your fault, I did it because i was scared you'll implicate me and tell the cops I was part of your plan" Kelly said, her voice trembling in fear
"Wow, so you can't go behind bars for blackmailing someone, instead you decide to go to jail for murder..... You are so hilarious, using a much bigger crime to cover up another..... Wow Kelly you are an even bigger devil than I am" Ariana said, her voice mocking, with a smug look on her face
"What do I do, please don't te them I was part of this, please Ariana" Kelly begged
"Don't worry I won't, after all you already have a bigger problem to deal with" Ariana said while laughing hard.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Kate asked, she had heard the door bell rang going to check it she met Victor and Adrian at her doorstep
"I'm Victor Cole, the ceo of Cole dynamics and this is my son Adrian Cole, may we come in" he introduced himself, Kate just looked at them suspiciously
"Come in" she said, stepping aside for them, the look on Victor's face instantly changed to a look of disgust, he had never stepped into a crap house before
"We don't wish to waste any much of your time, we came with an offer" Victor said as he reached out to his suitcase dropping it on the center table
"What's this" Kate asked
"It's a huge sum of money..... Tell the press your daughter is in the hospital as a result of a sickness or something" he coldly said.
The room fell silent, Adrian just watched his father with rage, hate and disgust, he couldn't believe his dad just wanted to bribe his way out of this, like Maya's life meant nothing
"If you don't leave my house I'll do something insane.... How dare you come here with this filthy money, no value on my daughter who is fighting for her life as a result of your corruption" Kate yelled, Victor was suddenly at a loss of word, he hadn't expected her outburst
"Dad let me speak to her please wait outside" Adrian said, looking at his father who had no other choice but to step outside, sileny hoping his son would work things out.
