SIXTEEN - "SHE'S MINE."
"I fucking meant it!"
Danny begged, his fingers pouring blood.
"Lyds!"
He'd have begged for an eternity if only it meant she would hear him.
"I love you!"
That got her attention. Of course, how could it not? She loved him too after all. From the minute she met him, it was impossible not to love Dan. But to the boy himself, it simply seemed as if his Lyds was out of earshot or she simply didn't care to listen.

The grate had made some leeway, bending away from its frame but yet it wasn't enough, not enough to reach them, not enough to change the course of events he knew was about to happen, not alone.
"Beth!" He sobbed, begging.

If anything happened to her, if she got hurt, wounded, killed, torn apart, plucked up from the earth by the hand of fucking god himself, Lyds would have done everything in her will to destroy any goodness left in the world, because to her, to them, Beth and Danny, Kassie was the only source of it left.
