"Uh... Uh.." I stuttered, at a loss for words. I couldn't get my brain to work, everything in me suddenly froze, and my nerves shut down. 
I felt someone grab me by my arm, waking me back up, it was Austin's mom. "I said, get out of here, you peasant!"
She was dragging me out of the room. "No, please! Let go" The way she was dragging me was humiliating. 
"Ma'am.."
She stopped at Jake's voice. "Shut up, Jake, I do not want to hear a single word from you! What has this witch done to you?! She bewitched you and Austin! She's got to leave us alone! She needs to get out of our lives for good! I promised your mother that I would take care of you, treat you like my child, protect you, especially from witches and whores like this thing!" She said referring to me. 
I took in a deep breath, refusing to let it out. "Ever since she came into our lives, it's been nothing but bad l

I couldn't sleep the whole night. It was around 6 am when I heard my phone ring. Just when I was about to sleep... I looked at the caller's ID... Kara. 
I picked it up. "How could you?" That was the first thing I heard. 
"How could I?"
"Oh don't act fucking stupid! I heard everything. You've been acting this whole while... The truth is finally out, just admit to it."
"Kara.."
"Don't even say my name! Now I want you to listen, do not ever try to reach out to me ever again, an innocent man died because of you! You're disgusting." and with that, the phone went off. 
What was happening?! Why was all this happening to me, what have I ever done to deserve all this? I cried out.

"It's easier than I anticipated." She said with a smirk. 
"Yeah, so what's next?"
"Austin would be getting

20 hours later, I heard from the doctor that he was alright. I was so relieved. He was going to be okay...
I looked at the time, 9:50 pm. Another set of doctors walked into the room. They've been doing lots of examinations on him. After 10 minutes of checkup, one of the doctors turned to me. 
"Surprisingly, he's recovering faster than we expected. He might wake up anytime soon." He said. A huge smile crept on my face. 
I thanked the doctor. I was overjoyed. The doctors left the room, and I walked closer to Jake's bed. The protective glass was gone, I just want him to get up now. I wanted to hug him. 
I sat down on a chair beside the bed. Staring at him, I didn't know when I fell asleep. 
"Why are you doing this to him? Don't you see how hurt he is? You keep denying what you feel about him... You might regret all this in the nearest future.."
"No, I won't because I don't feel anything
