You remember anyone calling me a pretty bird?

Caleb

?? No. Why?

Someone wrote it on my wall. It’s bugging me.

His contact picture fills my screen, showing the incoming video chat request. I wipe at my face, then answer it.

He frowns at me. His phone is held at a low angle that shows off his sharp jawline. “Please tell me I read that wrong.”

“I wish.”

“Have you been crying?” He seems to be home, but now he’s climbing the steps out of the basement.

“Do I look it?” I fixate on the tiny picture of me in the corner, wondering if he sees something I don’t. My eyes do seem a bit puffy, and my face is pale.

“You’re upset. I can tell that much.”

I sigh. “Unknown vandalized my room. Destroyed everything.”

He loses all expression. “You’re joking.”

“Why would I be joking? Lenora called Detective Masters. He was just here.”

The phone drops, and all I can see is the black fabric of his shirt. “Guys.”

When he shifts his phone, he shows me Eli, Liam, and Theo.

“All hands on deck, right?” he says.

“What’s going on?” Liam demands. “You okay, Wolfe?”

“My room got vandalized.” My damn voice wobbles.

A muscle in Caleb’s jaw clenches. “We’ll be there in five minutes. You guys shouldn’t be alone.”

Someone knocks on the bathroom door, and I freeze.

“Margo, it’s Detective Masters. I took some pictures of the room and am heading out. Just wanted to let you know that I’m going to look into what we discussed.”

“Thanks,” I call.

Caleb stares at me. “Can’t wait to hear what you discussed.”

“The police are supposed to be the good guys,” I whisper.

He just shakes his head. They’re outside now, and someone is yelling after them. Theo yells back, but the words are snatched away on the wind.

“We’ll be there soon, okay?”

I nod, and he hangs up.

My head falls back on the door. I don’t know what the hell we’re going to do. What can we do? We’re teenagers. Kids, really.

My eyes fill with tears. The whole situation is hopeless.

See what I said about hope? It can drop you.

Real fast.
