Lila’s POV The hospital was crowded with frantic and drunk students. Most of them were covered in soot from the fire and some of them had blood on them. Thankfully, I only had a little bit of soot because Enzo managed to wipe most of it off my face. It was my clothing that was doing the most damag

Lila’s POV “What’s going on?” I asked as Brody quickly pulled away from me. I recognized the sound of Rachel’s piercing scream right away. I had never heard her sound like this before, but I knew it was her. The sound made its way through the hospital, bouncing off the walls and sending chills do

Lila’s POV Having Enzo here at the Nova packhouse was not something I wanted. But I wasn’t going to argue with my father about it. He was keen on having him here to thank him for helping me in the fire. It’s not like I could tell my family the reason why I didn’t want him here. Now I just had to h
