“That doesn't make her your responsibility, shithead,” Kai snaps back. “Worry about your own sister. Oh, wait.”
He glances back at the body and then smirks at him. In a split-second, Van lunges at Kai. Hudson and Tierney scream as the two of them become a tangled mess of punches. It's not the first time these two have gone at it and it probably won't be the last, but I'm not about to let anyone else die today.
I grab Van by the back of his shirt and yank him back, pulling him away while Brayden holds Kai back with his uninjured arm. The two just glare at each other from over our shoulders, a silent message that this isn't over.
“Knock it the fuck off,” I roar. “This is not what we fucking need right now.”
“No, fuck you,” Van yells. “He—”
“Hello?”
Relief rushes through me as a girl I’m happier to see than I’ll admit comes into view. She looks like she’s been through hell. Her face is covered in dirt, and she seems disoriented as she tilts her head to the side, her fingers hung in her knotted hair.
“What's going on?” Rory asks. “What happened?”
“Oh my God. Rory!” Hudson breathes.
At the sound of his sister’s voice, Van's attention immediately leaves Kai. He slings my hand off him and marches straight over to her, wrapping her in his arms. She sighs against him and holds him tightly.
“Wait,” Tierney says. “If Rory is alive...”
All of us turn toward the dead girl and a cold chill runs down my spine.
“Who the hell is that?”
