“I swear to God if you don’t tell me where the fuck you are—”
“I’m not sure. Near a forest somewhere. I think I passed a waterfall thing. But there was a snake wrapped around my bottle and I ended up ru
“Yeah, you’re definitely trashed.”
“Don’t tell my brothers.”
They’re overprotective enough and if they find out about this, they’ll no longer let me hang out with Hayley.
I have to keep scoring blackmail on her.
“I’m pretty sure I know where you are, but I’m go
“What?”
I’d do anything for him. Anything in the whole wide world.
“I need you to get the fuck away from that cliff.”
“Why?”
I need to know he cares.
Or better yet…why he stopped caring.
“You’re not stupid. You know why, Bianca.”
He hasn’t called me by my real name in forever. Usually, he refers to me as Satan or Lucifer.
He used to call me his baby girl. Just like my mom.
“You called me Bianca.”
An irritated groan breaks free. “I’m on my way. Do me a solid and get the fuck off that cliff before something happens and Jace and Cole kill me.”

“What time is your next class?”
Stone glances at his watch. “In about fifteen.” Leaning down, he whispers, “I can be quick if you want to go back to your dorm.”
Ugh. I’m officially the worst fiancée in the world for turning him down.
“Can we take a rain check?” I gesture to my phone. “I’m supposed to meet Sawyer and talk about wedding pla
Sawyer did call me before, but she can wait.
Especially since I know she’s just going to apologize over and over for lying to me.
“Fine.” Sulking, he gives me a quick peck on the lips. “But only if you spend the night at my place.”
“Deal.”
With that, I stalk off.
In search of the guy who can give me some answers.
