Chapter 96 Your Boyfriend Will Come

• When Via awakened, it was to a slight headache and the feel of dried blood against her temple. The room she was in (if it could be called a room at all) was dim, and the only source of lighting that filtered through the thick bars was from the torch hung outside the cell. Via was able to make out her friend's figure curled next to the worn-out bedframe. From the looks of it, Jess had cried herself to sleep. Via could tell due to the labored and congested breathing.
• She remembered what happened clearly, and she was very much aware of the trouble she and her friend were in from the moment she opened her eyes. Via had suspected something dark was going on much earlier, so Nico's betrayal didn't really surprise her much. Luca had been part of it too, and Tammy probably. Dominick knew a thing or two—it wouldn't surprise her.
• Via tried to push herself into a sitting position. The sudden movement made her vision blur, and she groaned at the immense headache that overwhelmed her. Jess was stirred from her sleep by her pained whimper.
