The guys have already left when my phone rings.

Ellie sits on the sofa in our dorm, nibbling on some popcorn I made for her as I finish packing up my clothes.

And yes, I’m bringing the murder board, dammit, though I still think that’s a misnomer.

I fumble my phone out of my pocket and press Accept before I even look at who’s calling me.

“Hello?” I balance the phone between my shoulder and ear as I work to zip up my suitcase.

“Dom!” My bio-father’s cheery, exuberant voice sends a cold chill racing down my spine.

Fear courses through my bloodstream like poison as I tense, every muscle in my body locking tightly.

Ellie glances my way in concern, slowly rises from her seat, and ventures a step closer to me.

“Harvey,” I say stiffly.

Not Father.

Never Father.

“I heard that Grove Academy’s winter break started today,” he says.

Fear taps against my brain like the claws of a three hundred pound, six foot beast.

“Yes.” I don’t bother to give him more than that.

Ellie’s face pinches with worry as she takes another step towards me.

“Perfect! I was hoping you can stop over tonight for family dinner. I never got to talk to you last time.” He chuckles, but the noise holds a type of darkness I can’t begin to comprehend.

It’s different from Ryker’s or Zane’s or even my own, though I can’t pinpoint why. Either way, my consciousness fragments, and black dots dominate my vision.

“I can’t,” I find myself saying, my mouth moving before my brain can catch up. Reality slowly, agonizingly, begins to reassert itself around me. “I have plans.”

“Oh?” Harvey’s voice is a splash of acid on red, peeling, bloody skin—acerbic, bitter, and cruel.

A part of me wonders if I should take him up on that offer. Perhaps I can take a peek at his phone and the fucking dating app I noticed there. Maybe then we’ll be able to solve one goddamn puzzle.

But even as the thought begins to form, a knife wedges itself into my chest.

I can’t leave Ellie.

I fucking refuse to.

“I actually have plans with Ellie,” I find myself saying.

And then I inwardly curse, hating myself for my unintentional slip.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

“Oh, bring her with you! I haven’t seen the girl in way too long.” Harvey’s voice is laced with glee.

“I’m not sure—”

“I’ll see you both at seven,” Harvey finishes.

Before I can mount a protest, he hangs up, and all I hear is the hum of a dial tone.

Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!

The guys are going to murder me.

And maybe… Maybe I’ll just let them.
