“Why now?” I ask Collins, who just shrugs his shoulders.
“Because she told them.” Z says.
“You’re right. She probably assumed they already knew; that they saw us together the other night.” Placing the tablet down on the hood, clenching my fist and punching the hood of thecruiser, just enough not to leave a dent, I look back up at both of them. “I’m gonna kill every single one of them.”
An evil smirk spread across Z’s face, laughing. “And he’s back.”
“He never fucking left.”
“What?” Collins asks.
“The less you know, the better.”
Handing the tablet back to Collins, I exhale before I contemplate something, but should probably wait until Z’s not around..
“Goddamnit,” he mutters, being able to see straight through me. “Just ask him.”
“What?” Collins questions as he slides into the car. “Ask me what?”
I let the smirk show for a second before I glance at him. “Send that to me before you delete it.”
And then Z and I are walking back towards the gym.
“What did you want to say?” He asks.
“What?”
“You said you weren’t gonna say what you wanted to.”
“Oh.” An evil laugh slips from me. “I was gonna say that’s an accurate depiction.”
I can see him trying to keep the smirk off his face as he shakes his head. “I’m gonna kick the shit out of you when this is over.”
“Worth it.”

“Come on.”
The lights flick on, bringing me out of the dark once again. Glaring back at them. Well, I’m actually not sure if it’s a squint or a glare.
“What?”
The cold from the ground is seeping through my clothing, mixing with the now-dried blood, and sending a chill through me.
“We’re going.”
“Where?”
“You don’t need to know.”
But I still don’t move; I just stare at the ceiling.
“Drew, get up,” Matthews snaps, walking over to me and pointing the rifle back in my face.
“I don’t care, shoot me in the face if you want.”
I watch the frustration grow in him.
