I felt the wheelchair stopping.

 

 

‘Niall, Detective Radcliffe is here to meet you.’

 

 

Allison, the nurse, informed me.

 

 

I sighed.

 

 

Detective Radcliffe holds the investigation of my case.

 

 

And Lord knows I’m dying to hear some good news.

 

 

‘Hello, Niall.’

 

 

I can sense him smiling as he greeted me.

 

 

I gave a wry smile in response.

 

 

I don’t know what to expect at this moment.

 

 

For the past week, there’s no improvement.

 

 

The culprit is still unknown.

 

 

I told them about Harry and his odd behavior that day I got hit.

 

 

But even with the questioning they had with him, they still got nothing.

 

 

And putting him in juvenile court was unlikely since he didn’t actually commit the crime.

 

 

 Styles told the police that maybe it’s just an accident and he denies that he saw anything or anyone that could’ve done it.

 

 

 According to him, it’s just coincidence that he was there when I nearly died.

 

 

But of course I didn’t buy that shit.

 

 

He’s lying.

 

 

I saw him.

 

 

I saw his face.

 

 

He definitely has something to do with it.

 

 

I know it.

 

 

I can feel it.

 

 

Me being here was of his doing.

 

 

And probably of others too.

 

 

I can’t help but have a hunch about someone getting involved.

 

 

Like it’s not only Harry’s fault.

 

 

‘Mr. Styles still denies your allegation towards him.’

 

 

Detective Radcliffe said.

 

 

Pfft!

 

 

Of course he does.

 

 

What else is new?

 

 

‘However, his family is willing to lend some help to your condition.’

 

 

‘Well kindly tell them thanks for that but I actually don’t want any of their shit.’

 

 

‘But Niall, it’s a big amount. And it could probably sustain you through high school and maybe even after that. Your life would be easier with that cash. It can really help you get your life back.’

 

 

‘Let me tell you something. The only thing that could get me through high school and my life back right now is for my eyesight to return. I don’t need any of his family’s shit!’

 

 

‘But don’t you realize that that cash could help you get your sight back?’

 

 

‘I’ve suffered enough already and taking their money would be just another burden for me to bear. It’s like accepting their pity even if in reality, they really don’t give a fuck. It’s like I’m taking the blame for what happened to me! Cash couldn’t heal me! But justice might.’

 

 

‘Niall, pride at this point will take you nowhere.’

 

 

‘It’s not my pride that’s talking, Radcliffe! It’s reality!’

 

 

He sighed audibly as if he’s hearing nonsense.

 

 

‘I know he’s behind all of this. I know it.They’re just giving me a big amount so I could take it and shut up. But, no.They’re wrong. I will fight.’

 

 

‘But you know evidence is required. Since no one is around at that time, we can’t make a move. We need proof, a strong testimony that could prove you right. It’s your word against his.’

 

 

‘Well, what about this? His family’s offer. Isn’t this enough proof that he’s done it? Why is he lending me some help? Why is his family all over me all of a sudden? Doesn’t that make sense? He wouldn’t even dare thinking about my condition if he’s not guilty!’

 

 

‘You and I both know that’s not what I’m talking about.’

 

 

‘Do you believe me?’

                         

 

I asked out of nowhere and I can feel he’s surprised.

 

 

My throat tightened and I could feel hot tears streaming down my face as I asked him that.

 

 

There was a long pause.

 

 

‘Well, do you believe me?’

 

 

I repeated with more plea in my voice hoping for an answer.

 

 

‘I’m sorry.’

 

 

The weight of his words caused me so much unbearable pain that just opened the gates for the flood to flow free.

 

 

He doesn’t believe me.

 

 

The one person I trusted most to at least help me lift the amount of pain I’m carrying was also the one who’ll push me down while I was still broken and bruised.

 

 

Life just declared its cruel joke on me.

 

 

And crying seemed to be the only way to laugh it all out.
