She nods, her eyes clouding.
“You know what gone means, right?”
“He kidnapped you, Hadley, and then tried to kill you and Ace. Donny Lopez is not a good person.”
“I know, but you’re okay with it? Knowing Cole and Ace—“
“James was there.”
“What?” I shriek.
“I overheard him and Ace talking. I think he...” She trails off, and my eyes bug out.
“Holy crap.”
“You can’t tell anyone, Hadley. Not a soul.”
“Who am I going to tell? You’re all I have.”
“Not true.” Her expression softens. “You have me and Ace, Conner... Cole.”
“I don’t have Cole, Remi.”
Maybe I never did.
I skip school the next two days.
After James’ doctor friend came by the Jaggers’ and removed my IV, I had told him about my missed period. He agreed to do the test since he was taking a blood sample.

My cell vibrates and I half expect to see one of their names. But it isn’t.
I snatch it up and answer it. “Hello?”
“Hadley, it’s Dr. Miles.”
“Hello.” My stomach twists.
“We’ve got the blood results back.”
“Okay...”
“Everything looks fine.”
“That’s good, isn’t it?”
“It is.” He lets out a steady breath. “The pregnancy test also came back.”
Blood roars between my ears as I wait, the room growing small around me.
