Kapitel 66: Chapter 66

Landon

My chest aches, and my head throbs painfully. I open my heavy eyes, finding everything blurry. I blink a couple times, trying to clear them when I see Roman sitting in a chair across the room. His shirt's untucked, and he's in jeans. I look down, finding myself in my bed, a patch placed over my chest, just below my shoulder. Reminding me that Charlie shot me.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath. It's her. How could I have not put two and two together? No wonder I've been so drawn to her; I knew who she was. My body recognized her before my brain registered who she even was. The thought that she actually had the balls to shoot me runs amok between the pride I have for her and the fucking anger radiating in my chest.

"About time you wake up." Roman yawns. I open my eyes and try to sit up. My chest instantly smarts with the stretch of muscle, causing me to wince.
