The vertibird touched down, and the girl jumped out, a pistol in her hand that wasn't even loaded.
In the dead of night, she trekked through the open field, keeping close watch behind her back. She couldn't be followed. If she was followed, it was all over. It would all end.
Her head whirled with thoughts. Everything was piecing itself together, but still made no sense. She went to safe spots in her head. The happy memories.
Her and Nate stood on the floor of the school gymnasium, a crown twinkling on her head. She held a bouquet in one hand, and Nate's hand in the other.
