? CHAPTER 78?
“I.. I can explain.” Maeve stuttered. She was already sweating profusely.
“Go on then, explain.” Chrystal said trying to keep calm. She always knew there was something off with Maeve but no one listened to her. The moment she saw her going out of the living room, she followed her and it seems Fiona did too.
“I.. I never planned to hu-rt Sebastian, I reall-y didn’t.” Maeve tried not to stuttered but still did.
“Maeve I can’t believe you’re the one who sent Swayer that video. You know how much those two love each other and you did such a wicked thing? I thought Swayer was your friend? I thought we were your friends?” Fiona asked sadly.
She always thought Ivory would be the cause of their breakup since the bet but it seems Maeve has been the black sheep all along.
“I’m sorry.” Maeve muttered.
“Sorry? Sorry is all you can say? Sebastian got beaten half to death because of you! Swayer is hurting because of you! Fabiola is crying her eyes out because of you! Who the f_ck is that girl in the video anyway?!” Chrystal yelled.
“She.. she’s Gwen.” Maeve muttered.
“Gwen? Who the hell is Gwen?” Anna asked as she entered the room. They were hearing Chrystals voice from the living room and Anna decided to go check it out since Ivory and Natasha had gone after Swayer, leaving Fabiola in the living room.
“She’s Sebastian’s ex girlfriend.” Maeve muttered.
“And what has Sebastian’s ex got to do with why you’re shouting like a mad dog?” Anna asked Chrystal with a frown. Things were already falling apart and she didn’t want more problems.
“She’s the one in that video with Sebastian. Maeve planned it all with her.” Chrystal replied trying not to get offended by Anna’s words.
Anna froze, trying to contemplate on what Chrystal said. Maeve lowered her gaze as she felt terrible now. She knew what she was doing right from the start was wrong but it’s now she regrets it.
“You..you did what?” Anna asked gently, coming closer to Maeve.
“I’m sorry, I wish I could take things back but..” Maeve gasped, not finishing her sentence as Anna pounced on her, slapping her severally before moving her hands to her hair.
Chrystal and Fiona watched Anna beat Maeve up for a while as they too wanted to do the same. Maeve kept screaming and trying to push Anna off and when she finally succeeded, Chrystal took over.
She pulled Maeve’s hair and began slapping her cheeks continuously.
Maeve kept struggling and even returned a slap which angered Chrystal more but Fiona decided to stop them before it gets worse.
She grabbed Chrystal by the waist and pulled her off Maeve.
Chrystal allowed herself to be pulled away as she didn’t want to hurt Fiona.
“You witch! How could you?! I h@ťě you, I h@ťě you Maeve I wish you’d die!” Chrystal yelled and tried pouncing on Maeve again but Anna held her from the front.
“That’s enough. Let’s save Swayer some beating.” Anna said and glared at Maeve who was already crying like a baby.
“I’m sorry. I was just angry and jealous that Swayer was dating Sebastian.” Maeve hiccuped.
“Are you kidding me right now?” This was about Sebastian?” Fiona asked blinking severally.
“I love him, I really do please believe me.” Maeve cried out.
“And so f_cking what? Ivory loved him too but she didn’t do anything stupid!” Anna yelled.
“I said I’m sorry!” Maeve yelled back.
“Sorry doesn’t change anything.” Fiona muttered. She was feeling bad about everything that happened even the beating Maeve received. If anyone told her they would end up this way, she would never have believed.

CLINIC
Swayer kept walking tho and fro in the hallway as they waited for the nurse to finish attending to Sebastian.
Natasha and Ivory came in shortly and tried persuading her to rest but she payed them deaf ears.
Soon enough, the nurse came out and Swayer was the first to rush to her.
“How is he ma’am?” She asked worriedly.
“He needs to be taken to a hospital by tomorrow. I think there might be a broken rib or something aside the several cuts he sustained.” She said and Swayer could feel her eyes getting wet.
“Can we see him?” Natasha asked but the nurse shook her head.
“He is still unconscious and I suggest you girls let him rest. Maybe by tomorrow he’ll be stronger.” She said before walking away.
Swayer rushed out the clinic immediately and Natasha followed her to stop her from doing something stupid.
“Swayer! Hey wait up!” Natasha yelled as she dragged her hand.
“What is it!” Swayer snapped.
“Where are you going?” Natasha asked. Ivory joined them shortly.
“To find the idiots who did this..”
“And do what? Beat them up?” Natasha cut her off.
“The last time I remember, you’re a girl Swayer and they can beat you up as well.” She added and sighed.
“What do you suggest we do?” Swayer asked after calming herself.
“We don’t even know who did this, let’s find out first.” Ivory said and they all left the clinic.
****
They got to the schools computer room and Swayer led them to a secret door.
“Why are we here?” Natasha asked as she watched Swayer keenly.
Swayer didn’t answer her but instead, she opened the door and they saw another door with a computerized lock. She punched in some digits and it opened, revealing several computers that were displaying videos.
Natasha widened her eyes when they got closer as she saw the videos were actually live records.
“Wait a minute, so they’ve been cameras implanted in Salvatore all these while?” She asked shaking her head in disbelief.
“And I didn’t know about it too?” Ivory asked with a pout.
“Well you do now and no one else must know. Mum made me promise I never tell anyone. She got them installed after that case with that kid who almost ki||ed himself. She felt bad for not being able to find out what really happened so she had them installed to prevent such from happening.” Swayer explained as she sat Infront of the computers and began searching for footages from few hours ago that happened in the lobby.
“That’s actually a brilliant idea and a wonderful thing Mrs Marshall did. I just hope we find the footage we’re looking for.” Ivory muttered.
“Found it.” Swayer said as she played the footage. She zoomed it severally to get a clear image of one of the guys.
“Wait go back a little bit.” Ivory suddenly pointed out and Swayer did as told.
“Zoom in on the guy with a hoodie.” She said again and Swayer did so.
“That’s Xavier, he’s one of the bad boys.” She said with a frown.
“So the bad boys are responsible for this? What did Sebastian do to them to deserve such beating?” Maeve asked with a frown.
Swayer just kept mute and watched as the guy hit Sebastian from behind, giving the rest the opportunity to attack him.
She clenched her fist tight and soon turned it off as she couldn’t watch anymore.
“I’m so sorry Swayer. We’ll get to the bottom of this.” Ivory said, rubbing Swayer’s back.
They left the small room and Swayer punched in the code again locking the place.
“Where do we go now?” Natasha asked.
“Back to the apartment. Do you mind staying over tonight?” Swayer asked Natasha.
“Sure no problem.” Natasha replied with a slight smile.
“We’ll deal with Xavier tomorrow after class.” She said sternly and they left the computer room.

FAMICS APARTMENT
On entering the building, Swayer was shocked to see everyone seated in the living room except Maeve who sat on the ground, looking a bit haggard.
“What’s going on here? Maeve are you okay?” Swayer immediately rushed to her, lifting her face and gasped on seeing the bruises on her beautiful face.
“If I were you, I’d hit her instead of worrying.” Anna said sternly and Swayer furrowed her brows.
“Who did this to her?” she asked trying to help Maeve up but Maeve refused her help.
“We did.” Chrystal replied.
“Have you all lost your mind? Why would you hurt her like this?!” Swayer yelled.
“Because she’s a Ɓîtçh!” Fabiola yelled back. Her eyes were still swollen which showed she cried for a long time.
Swayer turned to Ivory and Natasha who looked confused as well.
“Tell her.” Fiona said to Maeve but Maeve just kept her head low.
“Tell her or I’ll beat you up myself!” Fiona yelled but Swayer glared at her.
“If you lay a hand on her, you’ll sleep outside tonight!” She warned and made Maeve look at her. Maeve was already trembling and tears were freely running down her cheeks.
“Stop crying Maeve. Tell me what happened.” Swayer said worriedly but Maeve shook her head.
“Oh for goodness sake! Tell her already!” Anna yelled this time.
“I did it.” Maeve said fearfully.
Swayer furrowed her brows, feeling perplexed.
“You did what?” She asked innocently.
