Chapter 14

I walked over to Aiden and wrapped my arms around his waist, careful not to put any pressure on his chest. I didn’t care that his shirt was soaked with blood. He was alive, and that was all that mattered. Besides, my shirt already had its fair share of blood on it anyway.

When he tried to pull me closer and I resisted, he said, “I’m okay. There’s no more pain.”

I looked up into his eyes, not understanding why I could no longer hear his thoughts. I was certain that I hadn’t been drugged again because I could still hear the thoughts of every other person in the room.

He narrowed his eyes at me. “You should know, shouldn’t you?”

“I can’t hear your thoughts.”

“You’ve been drugged again?”

“No. I can still hear the others.”

“Can you guys just get on with telling us whatever you think we have to know?” Georgia asked.

I turned around. “Sorry,” I said but meant it for everyone besides Georgia.

Aiden sat on the leather armchair facing the rest of the room and pulled me onto his lap.

Everyone else took seats on the two sofas and any other piece of furniture with a flat surface. Georgia moved to stand by the door to the bedroom.

“Now,” Aiden said, “I want everyone to keep an open mind, okay?”

“After what happened tonight, I’m pretty sure our minds are way open,” Dave said.

Everyone pretty much agreed with him. Georgia was the odd one out. All she thought about was seeing the love of her life lying on the floor with a knife protruding from his chest.

“And after we tell you, Jade’s going to need to go inside your minds to see where everyone stands. Does anyone have a problem with that?”

“So you want us to take down our mind blocks?” Anna asked.

Georgia scoffed. “Like that’s ever going to happen.”

“Why are you telling them this?” I asked.

“Because if anyone has a problem with it, then they’re probably aware of what Nathan’s been doing. I’m sure you’d rather them not stay to hear what we’ve got to tell them about you.”

“You’re so smart,” I joked.

“Does anyone have a problem with that?” Aiden asked again. “I know it’s a lot to ask, but after you hear what we’ve got to tell you, you’ll understand why.”

There were various acceptances around the room, but Georgia said, “Like hell I’m going to let you inside my mind.”

“Then go,” Aiden said. “But know that if you go, you’re never going to be welcome back in our lives again.”

Georgia stood there, too shocked to move. She hated watching Aiden with me, but the thought of never seeing him again made her think twice. She slid down the wall and sat cross-legged on the floor.

Aiden nodded. “Okay, so does anyone else have any problem with what we’re asking?”

Kai laughed, but it wasn’t his usual carefree laugh. He knew something serious was going on and that it had something to do with one of his best friends.

Aiden put a hand on my shoulder. “Do you want to tell them, or do you want me to?”

“Would you mind?”

He shook his head.
