This is it. It’s all I can think.This is how I’m going to die.I can see it so perfectly. And yet, I wouldn’t go back and change my decision to get into this car. If it means there’s even a chance I can stop this insanity then it was worth the risk.
“Sebastian.” I soften my approach, reaching out to touch his arm.
He jumps at the contact, flipping his gaze to mine. As if the reality of what is happening hits him like a ton of bricks, I can see the panic flash across his face seconds before the Jeep is screeching to a halt just on the outskirts of town.
I don’t have time to think about myself or the fact that my heart feels like it’s going to explode inside my chest from how quickly it’s beating. All that matters is Sebastian. The way he crumbles in his seat, a sob tearing from his throat.
“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!” he screams into his hands.
I don’t know what to do.
Do I comfort him?
Do I let him get it out?
How do I fix this?
I don’t even have time to answer my own question before I see the red and blue lights behind us. Sebastian seems to notice them the same time I do and when his gaze finally meets mine, I swear I can physically feel my heart splitting inside my chest.
“I’m so sorry, Tess. I’m so fucking sorry.” It’s all he has time to say before he’s being removed from the vehicle.
Minutes later he’s placed in handcuffs and shoved into the backseat of the police car while I’m forced to stand here and watch helplessly, knowing there’s not one thing I can do to help him.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more scared for someone in my entire life. But it’s not only Sebastian that I’m scared for, I’m scared for me as well. I’m scared what this means for him. But more than anything I’m scared what this means for us.
