บท 72: Star - In Howard’s Arms

~~

Star

Howard had pulled me from the Jeep, causing pain to sear through my body and making me cry out. After that he cradled me to him, like I was something precious. I wanted to get away, but I couldn't. I wanted to shudder at his touch, but I didn't dare.

All I could do was sit there and cry silently as he held me in his arms. I didn't want to go back to them. I never wanted to see them again. Yet here I was on my way back there to all of them right now. My life was over. I might as well just die. That would be the only way for me to get peace.

Things had been going so well, so perfectly. Then I messed them up with Artem. I had gotten Chay involved in my problems which had ended up with her being hurt. And now I was ruining my own future.
