Chapter 54 It Can't Be

• The waiting made the clock slow down, fear ran through my body and the lump in my throat grew.
• I didn't even know how to take the news, to be happy, to be sad, to feel trapped.
• My greatest fear was to be in danger, and not just myself, but to condemn another life to spend most of its life on the run. To grow up in fear, to be the center of attention, to have no choice but to tolerate what Darren went through every day.
