I had never seen Kendall drive before. It was frightening to say the least. She was driving way too fast, but I guess given the circumstances I didn't mind it. She kept her eyes on the road the entire time, even when I fiddled with the radio. I knew she didn't know where she was going, either, I just hoped she could sense something.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH8Ec0YYYe

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmQrelcfF4
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzICnwdAK6F
"Sure." I nodded and reached over to pick up her phone off the dashboard. I opened it and looked at the text message. "Um, Kendall? You might want to stop driving."520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHQGlLYxAH
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u94K6BhcT
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcenLgxLX1t
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwlWI3xz96
"Because you're cold," I said softly. When she asked me what the hell I was talking about, I said, "That's what your message says: you're cold. What's going on?"520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZlTjz0Zz7

"It's Seth," she said as she jerked the car to a full stop and looked at me, her golden eyes glinting in the dark. "I don't even know this asshole and he's killed my friends and taken my boyfriend."520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZbIET8cR7
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAH8NGP561
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPyz41vuiq
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFHuat1ne8
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0CynNpXnt

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXzVrJfvGo

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57WEWyEpIu
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNZwWEfWAw
"Fuck you," she hissed.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUfnk5QHuh

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKDegm5sWj

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReUw6oCXMj
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUti4il4tWJ
A soft chuckle filled the silence in the car. I watched Kendall shiver and close her eyes. If I knew any better, she was willing herself not to cry, because all of this was too much.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsosVzlicF

"Listen you piece of shit," I said, gripping the door handle. "If you don't tell me why you're doing this and you hurt Christian, I'm going to kill you."520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Xzz1i1eX

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP6aBYe0kS

When the dial tone sounded, Kendall started to cry. She was trembling so much that I thought she was going to drop the phone. When she didn't, when she just let out this awful wailing noise, I grabbed her hands tightly. I wanted her to look at me, to see that I was here, that I was so fucking sorry for what I did, and I would help her through this.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioZgZwYa99

"Stop," I whispered. "Stop it and look at me. Look at me, damnit! I'm real, I'm here, and we're going to be okay. We're going to save him." When I moved my hands to her faces, finally, she turned her head, her golden eyes murky.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLCrPvA0FE

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xabIGTajW
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLP7lbW2MD
"I know," I said, pulling her to me. She rested the side of her cheek against my chest, and if it were possible, I could feel every ounce of regret that she had.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgQEywE19i

When her phone vibrated against my knee, neither of us moved. Kendall didn't even seem to notice, but I did. Slowly, I picked it up and looked at the screen.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR2zqOC7Km
