She listened to me and went back to bed. She closed her eyes tightly.

Lily soon woke up as well.

She didn't speak and just kept staring at us. She blinked a few times before sighing. "What happened?" she asked.

Abi and I looked at each other.

"Aya, you fell on the stairs when you collided earlier." I explained. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm... I'm fine." She answered weakly.

For a moment, silence prevailed between us all. No one is trying to communicate, and both are simply feeling.

Macey was the first to break the silence.

"Aya, your nose is bleeding."

AYA

I was stunned when Macey spoke. I immediately grabbed my nose when he said it was bleeding. It's true.

My nose is bleeding.

I immediately wiped and wiped with the curtain I had been pulling.

I looked up slightly. "I'm fine." I casually said

I could see the concern on their faces.

I'm fine... Really. Maybe it's just because I'm tired." I'm convincing them.

I tried to paint a fake smile on my lips so that they wouldn't have to worry about me anymore. I don't want to worry about them anymore.

"Okay. If you said so, Abi finally agreed. It even gently stroked a few strands of my hair. Francine wiped my face again. She also slightly lifted me up to stop my nose from bleeding.

She wiped the stain of blood dripping from my nose.

I even wondered why there was an old bowl with only water. But I didn't ask further.

My whole body hurts like hell.

Extreme pain, especially in my arms and legs.

Yet, I tried hard not to show that I was in pain. I don't want to be a burden to them.

When Francine told Lily and I to rest first, we stopped arguing because our bodies would really hurt and we needed to rest.

Lily's forehead was also bandaged.

Using torn cloth, they wrapped his forehead around his head.

Chren and Abi both volunteered to go outside and continue looking for a place where they could find at least one bar of signal to call for help.

Camilla stayed by my side. As well as Macey, who's now hugging me by my waist.

Francine is also trying to find a signal, even just here inside. He was in front of the window and he raised the cellphone several times to find a signal.

I can hear the occasional faint murmur of him.

"Are you fine?"

I turned my gaze to Macey. The child looked up at me and innocently stared at my face.

"I'm fine, baby." I replied to her question.

"You sure?" She repeated

I just hugged him and hugged him so as not to worry too much.

"Come on. At least one bar, please. Damn it, come with me." I heard Francine whisper from across the window where she was walking back and forth.

Although I wanted to help, I didn't insist and just stayed in bed. I let out a long sigh.

Camilla's just staring at me.
