?: Hold on just a little longer.
Me: I’m scared. I’m hurting so bad.
?: Look under the bed.
My heart picks up as I turn around and look under the bed. There’s a little bag, pulling it out, I look inside to see a bottle of pain medication, heating pad, and water bottle.
Me: Thanks but how do you keep getting in here?
?: I have my ways. Now get in bed, take some meds, and rest.
Me: How do I know this isn’t a trap?
?: You don’t.
?: But it’s not.
Me: How do I know?
Me: Picture Received.
I open the attachment to see my bedroom window. I stand up and walk over and look out. It’s dark out but not too dark because I see someone covered in all black standing by the tree.
Me: I see you.
?: Because I let you. Bed. Rest.
Me: Okay, thank you.
Walking over to my bed, I sit down and open the pill bottle, taking out two pills, bringing them to my mouth. I place them on my tongue and swallow them down with the water bottle. I grab the heating pad, plug it in, and place it against my stomach, and start to slowly drift off.
Chapter Fifteen
ATTICUS
“Where the fuck is she!” Cade yells, throwing his glass of whiskey across the room, its contents shattering against the wall..
He can’t find our little angel, and he is seconds away from tearing the world apart. I knew she was meant for me the day I walked down that hallway and saw her face. She smelled of peaches and sunshine.
God, I miss that smell.
She was supposed to be sent here, but someone fucked up, and she never arrived. Not even Cherryville has a record of who she was released to.
The only information we know is that three guys picked her up. Once we grabbed the footage from there, we ran the plates, but they turned out to be fake. Kevin put out the word with every connection we have.
Stone hasn’t slept in days, causing him to be more on edge than usual. We had to drag him out of a bar fight with two guys last night. The twins are headed home today, so we can come up with a plan.
“How the fuck does she keep slipping through our fingers? This was supposed to be a done deal.” Stone says, cracking his knuckles.
I pull out my phone, sending a text to my cousin.
Me: Hey man
Vito: Sup Bro
Me: I need a favor and need it done quickly
Vito: Don’t I always deliver quickly? (eye roll emoji)
