"Ocean, did you hear what Justin just said?" Makai came up beside me to whisper in my ear.
"Yes, I heard him." I whispered softly back at him. I didn't want Justin to hear me and think that the words were for him. I didn't know what this was going to do to his hypnotized state of mind. "He told me that this all happened when we were just fifteen years old. I've been ruining his life for that long." I felt horrible. Knowing how long Justin has had to deal with not understanding what was going on.
"Not that part, Ocean. I'm talking about the part where he said that Brittney sang to him. That means that everything that happened, when things got worse, was when Brittney got involved. All of this wasn't your fault. A lot of it rests on her shoulders too. You bespelled him by accident. She did it on purpose. You and Justin are innocents here. Brittney was the only one that intentionally wanted to hurt people."
