章 60: ~°~Chapter Sixty~°~

Dale gets in the driver's seat while Virgil and I are in the back, I'm cuddled up against him so tight that I forget to shiver or be scared because it's Virgil.

"I have to call Shana or there's going to be more casualties." Dale says absently, driving the car out of school.

I didn't even look back, I was ready to spend a lot of time away from that hell hole, no wonder my mom dropped out.

Virgil just murmurs his assent too engrossed in gently nuzzling my neck, I just close my eyes in a half doze, peaceful.

A phone rings somewhere in the car for a short while and the next thing is Shana's crying voice filtering through. "W-Where is H-Hayden?" She asks through tears, her voice shaking so bad that we can barely hear her. "M-Mia an-and A-Addison ca-came t-to me and… Oh my God p-please just tell me you have him and he's okay and…"

At the sound of Shana's voice, I want to jump up and into her arms but she isn't here.
