Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Hunter

##Chapter 49: Hunter

I slide onto my seat for health and throw a quick glance over my shoulder only to find Skye's desk vacant. This is the second time this week she's been absent.

Where the hell is she?

In the pit of my gut, I know something is wrong. It's not like her to blow off class for any reason. Even when we were in high school, and I'd try to persuade her to skip class, she would refuse.

I've shot her a few texts, but it's been stereo silence from her end. And yeah, I get it. Skye wants me to leave her alone, but how can I do that when I'm being eaten up by concern? She might not want me to care, but I still do. I've just done a shit job of showing her that.

Midway through class, I catch Jaxon's gaze and jerk my head toward the unoccupied seat next to him. He shrugs and looks away, purposely avoiding my eyes. Jax knows exactly what's going on, but he isn't going to tell me. I've been a douche, and we both know it.
