His mind was on a roller-coaster, he kept battling with his emotions, he was so happy she was awake he wanted to go and hug her but he just couldn't bring himself to do it, he was still fighting his feelings for her.... That was because a part of him told him Maya would never even dream of being with someone like him.
*********
Maya had finally wokeen up although she hadn't fully recovered, she had fractured few bones, an had a reoccurring headache, she was still literally in pain but she was placed on heavy treatment that ensured her recovery
"Stop moving, you should rest" Kate said, as she helped her adjust her pillow, she had appeared the next minute she had her daughter had woken up
"Mum! I've been in coma for hours, don't you think I already got enough rest" Maya teased
"Doesn't matter Maya" Xavier added
"Where's Kelly, I expected her to be here?" Maya said, searching around for Kelly
"I haven't heard from her since yesterday, I'll give her a call let her know you are awake" Xavier said, Maya smiled as he left the room to dial her number
"I knew you would pull through, my fighter" Kate said, as she placed a soft kiss on her forehead
"Where's Adrian" she suddenly asked
"I don't know dear, but he did come around at the house" Kate said then she narrated what had happened between her and Adrian's father, Maya could only sigh not wanting to think about what had happened, she was glad to know Ariana was still behind bars, wouldn't be for long but at least, justice was served
"Honey, you really can't remember who pushed you?" Kate asked worriedly, the first question she had asked Maya was who pushed her, but Maya couldn't remember and each time she tried her head begins to hurt like she was carrying tons of bricks
"I have lots of haters mum... I just can't remember what happened after Xavier left me up there to fetch something" Maya said with a sigh
"It's okay honey, eventually you will remember, just rest" Kate said softly, she didn't want to pressure her to remember.

Kelly who had already packed her bags was ready to flew from the country before things got out of hand, she had told her parents she wanted to stay with her uncle in London, just out of the blue after so much persuasion they agreed. She was planning on leaving the next day, so she had already started packing her stuffs when suddenly her phone rang.... She hesitated before picking up the call
"Hey... How come no one had heard form you all this while? Aren't you aware of what happened to Maya?" Xavier asked from the other end of the phone
"um... Yh I heard... I've just been busy with family stuffs am sorry how is she?" she asked
"She just got out of coma, she isn't in a very good state but she is pulling through" he said, Kelly could literally here the loud sounds of her heart beating, sweats had already covered her face in an instant
"She wants to see you, you need to come to the hospital" Xavier said, making her panic even more, for a moment Kelly had completely lost her voice
"Who.... Did she say who did it?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper
"Actually, she couldn't remember, the doctor said she might have been in a huge shock, her brain couldn't process the shock so instead decides to shut of the memory" he said
"How is it possible to lose your memory only about a particular event" she asked, Kelly wanted to believe it was real, so she wouldn't have to run
"If the doctors says it's possible then.... Just get here" he said before hanging up. Kelly instantly gripped her chest, it was a huge relief Maya didn't remember, it was obvious the betrayal Maya had felt when Kelly pushed her, she had gone into a shock and can't remember it.
***********
The issue concerning the press and the public hadn't calmed down, even after some days, they demanded to here words from Maya, matters had escalated way beyond both Victor, Mr Lancaster or even the principals control.
"Mum what the hell do you mean by I can't be released, it's been days almost a week" Ariana yelled
"Yet honey, you can't be released yet, just give your dad some time" Beatrice said, trying to calm her daughter, she could only see her once a day, she was really hurt but still turned a blind eye to what she did
"This has ruined my social life mum....I can't believe with all the stupid money and power you and dad have, you can't get me the fuck out of here.... You guys are useless!!!!" She yelled again
"Who said our power can't, it's just that your father thinks the risk is high, the masses has gone more wild ever since Maya had an accident and now getting you out will spike more issue, please be patient" Beatrice explained, trying to coax her raging daughter
"Maya sure is he bent on ruining me right" Ariana mutters through gritted teeth
"Now she is awake, the school principal decides to pay her a visit and pleas with her, she is the only voice that will calm the public considering she was the one who started the fire" Beatrice was really trying her best to offer moral support.
"Mum I want Kelly Daniels to pay me a visit" she suddenly says, her mum wasn't exactly sure why but had to do it anyway.
********
Kelly on the other hand had already made up her mind to go pay Maya a visit, she was just about to leave when she had a knock on her door, she opens it only to meet Adrian at her doorstep, Kelly subconsciously steps back in panic
"It's only the guilty ones that panic even when necessary" he stated, as he just casually walks inside, going over to the bar he pours himself a glass of wine
"What are you doing here" she asks
"Let's not fool around why did you push Maya" he said
"I didn't..... And besides why do you care, since when did you start caring about her" she retorts
"Even if it's the last thing I do on earth..... Kelly I will make sure you rot in jail for attempt to murder" he said with a low husky voice, his tone carried every ounce of threat and fear, then he took slow menacing steps towards her, his aura very intimidating, then he whispers into her ear
"No one messes with whatever matters to Adrian Cole for a reason Kelly" his hot breath brushing against her skin, she literally shivers beneath him
"Start counting your days as a frrr citizen..... And don't even think of running.... I'll find you" he said and with that le left.
Kelly immediately crumpled on the floor her hand gripping her chest in fear
