Becky
I was on the ground trying my best not to pass out. Bello is alive; oh my God thank you so much. Bello is alive.
“Are you ok?” I looked up from where I sat on the ground to who was questioning me. It was the doctor. When I didn’t reply, she continued to question me.
“Do you feel dizzy, weak, nauseous…?” I shook my head. Then the tears in my eyes began to fall down fast. “You’re relieved” said the doctor, understanding my behavior. I nodded my head speechless. She smiled then said, “You should probably stand up. Are you ok to stand?” the doctor asked. I nodded my head again at her. It was then I felt someone crouching beside me. Turning my head, I saw Kenneth; he smiled at me then wrapped his arm around me. Helping me to get up he said.
“Let’s get you off the ground yeah?” I nodded my head still speechless, thinking that’s a good idea. Once I was standing, the doctor smiled then looked at Gibson.
“Sir” said the doctor but Gibson stopped her before she could go on.
“Call me Gibson” The doctor smiled then said,
“Gibson” Gibson nodded his head satisfied with her calling him by his name. She threaded on saying, “well like I said before, Bello is in a critical state right now. We had to place him in the ICU, he is on life support until he is able to breathe on his own”
“He can’t breathe on his own?” asked Nancy The doctor looked to Nancy
“yes dear he can’t”
“So how long will he be on life support” asked Ada. At Ada’s question, the doctor moved her eyes to face her
“well that depends on when he wakes up”
“And if he doesn’t wake up?” asked Stephen. Oh my gosh I didn’t think of that. The atmosphere in the waiting room had changed from that of joy to weariness. We all waited for her reply.
“Well if he doesn’t wake up I’m afraid our only option would be to take him off of life support” she replied calmly, taking in each of our worried faces. What? Whispered one of us, I don’t know who but the person’s voice was filled with dread. My heart was beating fast. I was scared, I was truly really scared.
“But that means he’ll be dead” said Nancy incredulously,
“that’s means we’ll never see him again” she shook her head like Bello has already been pronounced dead. Then she exclaimed,
“That can’t happen, it can’t. You need to save him” Nancy was losing it, she looked like she was about to force the doctor to save Bello or the doctor will be dead if she doesn’t.
“Nancy calm down, she’s just telling us the condition Bello is in. it’s not like she’s saying he’s already dead. Ok, calm down” She looked at him her eyes wide and teary, her voice shaking as she spoke,
“But she said…”
“He’s going to be fine” Stephen spoke above her. Then he looked at the doctor and asked sternly, “right?” The doctor jerked and then nodded her head, quickly replying,
“yeah by Gods grace” Wow. I really don’t want to be the doctor right now. Stephen looks like he can kill anyone for Nancy.

Stephen After we were done with the doctor, we all went to our various homes but Becky decided to stay with us that night. She wasn’t herself, after witnessing Bello getting shot; it was difficult for her to be alone. That night, we all gathered in the living room and when I say we I mean all of us. The maids, Gibson, Kenneth, Nancy, Ada, Edgar, and Becky. We prayed for Bello, we prayed for God to heal him. He (God) is our only hope.

Gibson
After we were done with the doctor we went to see Bello. He was lying still on the hospital bed. Wires and tubes connected to him to keep him breathing and alive. He looked different, he looked peaceful.
“Oh my gosh he looks so peaceful” said Becky. We were all in the room with him watching his chest rise up and down as he breathed. God please save him.

Ada
So we’ve all been visiting Bello at the hospital, there’s no day we don’t go to visit him. Hoping and praying he wakes up each day we get to visit. But he hasn’t woken up, he’s still the same. On this particular day Gibson really pissed me off. I’m still pissed at the moment. This is what happened.
Gibson – “Ada where are you going to?”
Me —“to the hospital where else?”
Gibson —“alone?”
Me —“yes na, who else will I be going with?” Gibson scowls at
Me – “you are not going alone. Take one of the guards” Me (looking at him like he’s some performer at a circus) – “you can’t be serious?”
Gibson — “yes. I am”
Me- “well I don’t care if you’re serious or not. I’m going to see Bello and I won’t be taking any guards with me. Kingsley is dead, and he’s going to remain dead. So we are all safe” Then without waiting to hear his comeback, I walked out of the house and straight to the gate and then out of it. Gibson followed me behind in the cab that I was in. Crazy man.

Edgar
She has changed, he has changed too. Just as how Michael and Fola changed. It’s good to see this while I’m still alive. I watched the two lovebirds as they argued, they always argue but they love each other deeply. Guess it’s true what they say; love conquers all.

Bello
Everything is bright, everywhere is bright. I’m in an open space, with no walls, no doors no nothing. It’s just empty and the view looks endless. Where am I?

Becky
So it has been two weeks since Bello has been in the hospital. His condition hasn’t changed. He hasn’t even moved a foot to show that he is getting better, or twitch his fingers to let us know he is coming back. Nothing at all. Anyway I’m on my way to meet Ada. She’s at the saloon from there we’ll both go to Michael’s house, then to the hospital. God please bring Bello back to us.

Bello
So I’m standing by my hospital bed and I’m looking at myself sleeping. For the past few days I’ve been here. Watching Ada, Becky, Gibson, Kenneth and the rest come to visit me. It’s strange seeing myself in this state. I’ve been watching all my friends, they all look sad. I wish I can get back into my body but I can’t. My body has refused to accept me. I don’t know why. God why can’t I get back into my body.

Nancy
Ada has been out for a few hours and I’m sure she went to see Bello. No one knows when he’ll wake up. It could be in 2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months or maybe even a year. Well it doesn’t matter because we are not going to get him off of his life support. He is going to wake up and we are going to be here when he does.
……………………………………………………………….
Stephen
I keep thinking. Why did Bello save Ada? Why did he have to risk his life for her? I don’t understand. Or is there a reason that only he knows as to why he did it? Well my cant be answered until he wakes up. Which I am counting on that he will wake up. Right now all I can do it wait and pray.

It’s been 2 weeks now since the take down of Kingsley the psycho. It felt good to finally take him down. But a tragedy occurred. Bello, one of our very best men got shot. It was an awful day for us all. The gang don’t know this but we the smiths security team have been visiting Bello in the hospital. They think it’s just them that has been coming but they are not. Whenever we come to visit we always pray before we leave.
2 weeks, 2 longs weeks and Bello hasn’t even twitched a finger. But we won’t give up. We will keep on praying.

Nancy
So we’ll be going back to school in a few days. We had to stop because of the threat from Kingsley. But now that he is dead we are free to resume school. Right now I’m in the living room watching a movie. Stephen is swimming, Ada is in the kitchen and Becky is with her. Gibson is in Michael’s office, so are James and Kenneth.
As I sat watching the movie, I heard the front door open. Then I heard footsteps. I put the movie on pause to know who it is. And , oh. my .god. Without thinking,I screamed.

Stephen
Swimming is amazing, absolutely amazing. I love to swim. I’ve been in the pool for close to 3 hours now and honestly I don’t feel like getting out. The reason why I love to swim is because it soothing and calming for my nerves. Its clears my mind and helps me think clearly. Apart from that, it’s a good way to exercise. Well I have to get out now because I have some work to do in my room, a new job just came in. one that has to do with a robbery. The police have been trying to crack this case for some weeks now but they couldn’t so now they’ve handed the case to me. So I have to get to work.
Getting out of the pool, I walked over to where I spread my towel. As I toweled myself off, I heard a scream. Common, what now?

Ada
I was in the kitchen cooking as usual, when suddenly I heard Nancy squeal in the living. With the life we’ve been living for the past 2 months now, everyone including Gibson and Kenneth ran to the living room, each of us holding our weapons. I held a sharp butcher’s knife, Kenneth and Gibson held a gun, and Becky held her shoe, a high heel. We all got to the living room but what we saw stopped us right on our haste.
Fola and Michael are back.
