When I was well enough to stand, I used Christian’s phone to schedule an emergency appointment with Dr. Alder. She asked me to come in right away and I didn’t want to hesitate. When I hung up, I looked at Christian.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQPK1wveOC

“This is probably the best thing right now,” he said softly. He left the bathroom and I followed. He was sitting on the bed, his hands on his lap. “Did you know Cassie well?”477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsWxDWb7LA

“Yeah, she was a bitch,” I said, my eyes narrowing at the floor. Even though the girl was dead, I couldn’t help the anger that came from my words.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55f9LKxEsv

“She wasn’t exactly nice to people she deemed unpopular, but I hope you’re not glad she’s dead or anything like that.”477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJkHt697hK

I sank down beside him, my shoulders hunched as I stared at the floor. “Christian,” I said in a low voice, “what if I—”477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CcCGt94Kd

“No,” he said, putting his hand up. “You didn’t do this. You wouldn’t. You get sick even watching scary movies, so it’s not possible. Besides, I was here with you all night.”477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNlnAjGf1u

“But then why are my dreams like this? It doesn’t make sense.”477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfvm3FeU95

He was silent. He had no answer and I understood what I was saying was ridiculous. I felt like two different people, then. Slowly, I stood up and walked to the bathroom, shutting the door behind me.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcThPxDffPb

I leaned against it for a few minutes before I went to the sink and stared into the mirror. I gazed at my tired reflection, into my eyes; the eyes of a wolf, a predator, and a possible killer. I closed them and shook my head, trying to clear it.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigA4SBLvNO

Christian was right. There was no way that I had killed anyone last night.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fcMzmumvN

A knock on the door brought me out of my reverie.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhejDl9hXr6

“I’m almost ready,” I muttered, looking down at my damp clothes. I frowned.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh76HbF22bq

“You want to borrow a shirt?” he asked. Something clanked against the doorknob. “It’s here if you want. You should at least change that.”477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81hUCvjMwv

I turned and stared at the empty door, then opened it, slid my hand out and gripped the hanger. It was a solid black, short-sleeve and warm. When I was done putting it on, I tied my hair up and opened the door.477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtQ0m9TO4c

“Maybe Dr. Alder can help you,” Christian said as he took my hand and led me to the front of the house. “I’ll sit with you, too, so you’ll feel better.”477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbHpgA4hku

“Thank you,” I said as I stepped out into the cool air and got into his car. He slipped into the driver’s side and started the engine. “Hey,” I murmured, “who did you hear the news about Cassie from anyway?”477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Wg4rpsuB

Christian frowned. “My friend’s dad is a cop. He found her.”477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhNtQMWRRn

An uncomfortable silence fell between us as he drove. My head was a mess and all I wanted to do was go back to sleep, but even that was too dangerous. 477Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jtQPxdq3g
