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.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq2G0jbyjr

“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?”526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzqZGpV2U0

“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.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4MnmMq7Cj

“She wasn’t exactly nice to people she deemed unpopular, but I hope you’re not glad she’s dead or anything like that.”526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhWGFmOG0h

I sank down beside him, my shoulders hunched as I stared at the floor. “Christian,” I said in a low voice, “what if I—”526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaotwZQZYg

“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.”526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tSiW1TBL0

“But then why are my dreams like this? It doesn’t make sense.”526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWESTheEgD

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.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SiUgZBIT8

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.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJxY2m5AF1

Christian was right. There was no way that I had killed anyone last night.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ139S7CtH8O

A knock on the door brought me out of my reverie.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEIixd8F2w

“I’m almost ready,” I muttered, looking down at my damp clothes. I frowned.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6cbn1Jo5Z

“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.”526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzI5XPX3b0

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.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToa0p04DPs

“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.”526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSQs81kbjV

“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?”526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJE719cZ25

Christian frowned. “My friend’s dad is a cop. He found her.”526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIuysi28A0

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. 526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVDD4o3hWM
