Chapter 67

• “NOOOO!!!”
• I was jolted upright, awakened from a horrible nightmare that made my heart feel like it was going to explode in my chest. I was breathing hard and fast. Bullets of sweat trailed from my forehead and trickled down my chin. I was shivering. I was confused and terrified and my eyes were blurry for the first ten seconds, scared to know if I was still inside that awful dream or if I was really awake.
• "Holly.” Evan frowned, pushed himself and sat beside me after he saw the terror reflected in my eyes. I couldn’t respond at first. His voice seemed so distant to my ears until it became louder and louder as he shook my shoulders, gentle at first and when I didn’t respond, he held me tight into his arms.
