CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Monday rolls around far too quickly. Mum went back home with Sam early this morning and has promised to return soon.

I’m actually sad to see her go. I’ve gotten used to having her back, and the thought of her not being there when I wake up from a nightmare is concerning me more than I’d like to admit. Each night, a nightmare will plague my dreams, not with visions but with memories of pain, of heavy breathing, and I shoot awake with an unknown heaviness on my chest.

“Are you sure you’re up for today?” Allie asks, glancing over at me. I know I look pale. I noticed it when I looked in the mirror earlier.

No! No, I’m not sure. But I don’t voice that. “Yes. I’ll be fine. I don’t want to lose my place because of slacking off,” I explain. Really, I just need to get out of here. It’s my way of pretending things are okay and that nothing happened. Something tells me that if I lock myself away and hide from him, then he will have won. I’ll also never be able to move forward.

I think if I remembered the incident, then it would be another story, but because I can’t, I’m finding it hard for it all to sink in.

“Your mum said she spoke to the university and they said that they understand if you need some time off,” she reminds me.

Allie and Mum have both been really protective and attentive of me all weekend and have more than once tried to talk me out of going back to university and to stay home for a few weeks instead. The conversation I had with Cole and CJ is what finalised my decision to go back to classes. I haven’t spoken to them since last night, but the conversation we had out in the hallway has been running through my head. I’ve silently been making plans of ways to take down Logan, with whatever means necessary.

“I know. I just think I need to get it out the way. Like ripping off a plaster; it’s better to get it over and done with. If I don’t go back now, I never will,” I tell her, as tears brim my eyes.

I hate that he’s ruined this experience for me. University has always been a dream of mine. I took one year at college to get the grades I needed to attend, but with funds being low, I had to work my arse off every day to be able to afford to be here. I’ll be damned if I let him take that away from me. Not when I’ve worked so freaking hard to get here.

“Okay. At least we only have two lessons,” she breathes, just as someone knocks on the door. We both turn to each other, horror in our wide eyes. My breathing becomes rapid as I wring my hands together. Allie gulps. “Who is it?” she yells, stepping closer to the door.

“I am the Greek God of Whithall,” CJ booms in a deep voice.
