OPHELIA'S POV
"Isn't it sad how your own family doesn't wait for you anymore?"
I should have known escaping would not have been this simple. I bite down on my lip hard, almost involuntarily and stop when I got too close to drawing blood.
What do I do?
What am I expected to do right now?
I shut my eyes tight and open them once again, hoping that Luco would have just magically vanished. I looked over at Xavier and almost ran up to hug him when I saw his pale face. I was supposed to be the pale one in this relationship.
Really smart, Lia.
That annoying voice in my head retorted.
I glanced at Luco and almost shivered when I saw him even closer to us than he was before.
What were we going to do?
Was I even strong enough to be in this situation?
Sure, I was smart enough in school, but here? I was so close to failing.
Deep breaths, Lia, deep breaths.
