Weyland threw an empty beer can my way. I tossed the can off me, grimacing as some of the leftover beer leaked out onto my sweatshirt. Truman laughed heartedly, and I chucked my can at him. Being this happy and carefree after my discovery earlier today made my stomach roil. But I couldn’t help the way my heart warmed when I looked at them. I’d finally belonged to something.

Something that could be taken away so easily.

Those experiments. A chill crept down my spine and I shuddered.

Josh wrapped an arm around my shoulder, drawing me into him until my head rested on his chest. Every time he laughed the sound vibrated against my ear. I smiled despite my dark thoughts. His heart beat steadily, whispering reassurances he didn’t know he was giving, or needed to. I maneuvered my arms so I hugged him back. If this wasn’t home, I wasn’t sure I’d ever know what was.

My cell phone vibrated to life in my pocket. Josh loosened his arms so I could shift my hand and pull it out. Sarah’s name and picture flashed across the screen.

Strange.

I stood and walked until the laughter and loud music grew almost out of earshot, and slid my finger across the screen of my phone. “Hey, Sarah. What’s up?”

“I need to tell you something,” she spit out. No pretenses, no greeting—nothing.

My heart dropped down to my feet. That was so unlike her. “What happened? Are Mom and Dad okay? Are you okay?” Had Allen known I found his secret lab and did something to my family in retaliation? My heart jumped into my throat, choking me.

“We’re all fine,” Sarah said.

I didn’t believe her. Maybe it wasn’t Allen, but there was an angry edge in her voice that made me want to beat whoever hurt her. That had to be what this was about. I let out a sigh, glad that Allen didn’t know about my earlier excursion and hadn’t harmed my family.

“What’s going on?” I asked. What did her boyfriend do? It had to be something regarding him. And where was Logan that he couldn’t take care of it for me?

“Look.” Her voice was low. “Trevor was here last night, at Kris’.”

“Excuse me?” I moved even farther away from the party behind me, attempting to hide the volume with which I asked, “What the hell did you say?”

“Kris…” She paused. “Kris had a party last night. Trevor was at the Franklin during our show. I ran into him, well…”

“Sarah!”

What the hell was Trevor doing in Boston?

“He looked pretty down, okay? I felt bad. So I said that if he was staying in town for a while, he should come to the party to perk up a little bit, you know?”

“No,” I ground out through gritted teeth. “I don’t know.”

Sarah sucked in a long breath. “Chelsea, it was a mistake. I’m sorry.”

“What happened? What did he do?”

“I didn’t know he was such a light-weight,” rushed out of her mouth, “so I handed him some whiskey and—”

“Since when does Trevor drink whiskey?” I asked her.
