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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7fVpfyuvT

“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?”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK95CrRuXM

“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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPqGe6itIv

“She wasn’t exactly nice to people she deemed unpopular, but I hope you’re not glad she’s dead or anything like that.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6gUrkjlA0

I sank down beside him, my shoulders hunched as I stared at the floor. “Christian,” I said in a low voice, “what if I—”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q8IRUlttC

“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.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4WNquXxif

“But then why are my dreams like this? It doesn’t make sense.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal79Lvy0oq

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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6wqSKZF8G

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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbxiMiyjc1

Christian was right. There was no way that I had killed anyone last night.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitmW26HXdr

A knock on the door brought me out of my reverie.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNqgxgkXMx

“I’m almost ready,” I muttered, looking down at my damp clothes. I frowned.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZVQq1KY9F

“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.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsPZBoyEYk

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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqvhZCqRnP

“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.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUyB2xVbR3

“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?”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhdMIbGLHG

Christian frowned. “My friend’s dad is a cop. He found her.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQpVp6yfwf

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. 463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaIE5hp2Km
