AYDEN KNOCKED ON my door shortly after nine. Like before, she didn't wait to be asked in. "You're going to wear that?" Her eyes skimmed my shredded jean shorts and black crop top.

"What's wrong with it?"

She placed her hands on the hips of her clinging red dress and sighed. "Your shirt has holes in it. I can see your bra!"

I glanced down at the hot pink bra peeking out the strategically placed holes and shrugged. "So? It's not my nipples. Are you even wearing bra?" I arched a brow, jerking my chin toward her headlights.

Quickly covering her chest with her arms, Ayden's face turned beet red. "Leave me alone. I can't wear one with this dress."

"Then why didn't you wear something else?" I bent down to put my boot on over the just as holey fishnet tights I wore beneath my shorts.

"It's a party."

"And?"

"And..." She trailed off, turning her face to the side as she tapped her fingertips together. "And Bishop will be there."

My brows rose. "Ohhh. Ayden likes the broody type, does she?"

"He's not broody. He's deep," Ayden countered, and stomped to the door. "Come on before we're late."

"And he's a mental on top of it." I mock clucked my tongue at her. "Oh, Ayden. What would everyone say?" We quickly and quietly hurried down the hallway.

"Shut up, you. Or I'll tell everyone you have the hots for a teacher."

I startled back, pausing in place. "No, I don't. I mean, I don't know what you're talking about."

I thanked the shadows of the hallways for hiding my expression. Dex was unbelievably hot, sure. But I needed a bit more than attraction to be into someone.

What about the vision? You obviously don't need much more if that's any indicator of your future.

I shoved my inner bitch down and focused on staying unseen or heard. I couldn't let my one chance to get past the barriers to get blown because I was distracted. Especially, not by a teacher.

Once we were out of the school and walking down a cobblestone path, I felt safe enough to ask, "Where are we going again?"

"Just wait." Ayden grinned and skipped a dance. Spinning full circle, she let her arms swing happily around her. "It's going to be like nothing you've ever seen before. I've only ever gone to one before this, and it was just..." She sighed, clasping her hands before her as she stared up at the starry sky.

"That good, huh?" I kind of felt bad about missing it. But I had to get out of here. I didn't belong. No matter how much my dad thought I did. He hadn't cared enough to save Mom, so who said he even cared now?

You know you're wrong. That irritating voice was back again. He wouldn't have brought you here if he didn't. He could have let the angels find you.

Conflicted by what I'd always known about my dad and what had happened recently, I couldn't bring myself to find a reason to stay. This so-called danger hadn't shown itself.
