Something is wrong.

Last night, Estaine came to my dorm and hung out for about thirty minutes. I think he was scared to get caught out of his dorm, not that I blame him, so he headed back pretty quickly. He’s in a lot of trouble and is on probation. If he gets in trouble for the rest of the semester, he will be expelled from the school. Though, if I’m being honest, I think it’s an empty threat. The dean would never expel Estaine.

On Saturday morning, I am woken up by Sander standing over my bed, which scares the crap out of me.

I put a hand over my heart.

“What the heck, Sander? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?”

“You need to come with me,” he says.

This causes my heart to beat even faster. “What’s wrong?”

“Get dressed as quickly as you can,” he says, not answering my question. “I’ll be waiting in the hall.”

He walks towards the door and I don’t move until I hear the door click. As soon as it does, I jump up and start getting ready. I look over to Teagan’s bed and see that it’s empty. She probably stayed with Emma last night, which is good. I don’t know what I would tell her about the fact that I am currently panicking.

Something is wrong and I know it.

All these thoughts keep running through my head—Mom, Dad, Charlie, Nora, Rick, the baby... I am just praying that they are all okay. I get ready in record time and walk out the door without even brushing my hair. I’ve got a rubber band on my wrist and I plan on putting my hair up on the way.

“What’s wrong?” I ask Sander.

“Let’s go,” he says, walking forward, still not answering my question.

“Is it... Charlie?”

“No,” Sander says. “Your family is safe.”

His words make me breathe easier.

My family is safe.

“Thank God,” I say.

But the silence that is met after I say that worries me. What if somebody else was killed because of me? What if there was another school shooting, like in Texas? And even though I am relieved that my family is okay, I’m panicking all over again for a new reason.

Something is wrong.

Oh, my gosh. What if the terrorists found me? What if they’re on their way here right now?

No. If that were the case, Sander wouldn’t have waited for me to get dressed and ready.

I just keep breathing as we get in my car. Sander gets into the driver’s seat. I take the opportunity to put my hair up as we drive over there. I hate the silence in the car. It feels heavy. And I have a feeling that whatever I am about to find out is not going to be good.

When we get to Uncle Matty and Jake’s house, Sander doesn’t get out right away. He just turns to look at me.

“You’re scaring me,” I tell him.

“I’m sorry, Phoenix,” he says. “I’m so sorry.”

“Sorry about what?”

He reaches for the door. “Let’s go inside.
