They don’t know what I’ve been told.
I replay the same thought.
Seth has killed someone. For Cullen and Archer.
Because Seth wants to be a Savage.
He wants…
I’m thankful for thezaza.
It keeps me calmer than I should be right now.
“What happened?” Maz asks. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
“Did something happen to Cullen? To his face?” Birdie asks.
“Shut up, Birdie,” Maz says.
“He’s got a beautiful face,” Birdie says.
“I need to trust you both,” I manage to say. “With myself.”
“What does that mean?” Maz asks.
“Is that sexual?” Birdie asks. “I’ll need a lot to drink…”
“I need to be vulnerable right now,” I say. “I need to let my knees give out. I need you both to catch me. But I need you both to remember that I’m anHeir.”
Maz moves closer to me. “You’re anHeir, Jaci Ruby. But you’re living withThorns. We’re the most vulnerable ones here. We have to fight for everything we want.” She grabs my arms. “We’ve got your back.”
I nod at Maz and I let myself collapse.
Maz pulls me against her.
Birdie is right there too.
They guide me to the couch and sit me down.
Birdie hands me something to drink.
Mixing alcohol andzazas is really stupid.
I don’t care.
“The bomb threat was fake,” I whisper. “They called it in themselves. They did it themselves. It was all…”
“We kind of knew that,” Maz says. “Right?”
“I know the reason why,” I say. “They made Seth…”
I look away.
I’m not sure I’m supposed to say anything.
But I trust Maz and Birdie.
They’re my best friends. They’re like family to me.
