40 days before.

Miles squeezes my hand as we enter the school building. A few days ago, Miles and I reported Fern for what she did. After I got the restraining order against her she glared at me, then she left without a single word.

Fern and her friends are standing at Fern's locker until her eyes meet mine. I suddenly stop and I feel like I'm going to heave.

She's mad. She's going to hurt me.

But wait, she can't. She's not allowed to have any contact with me, not allowed to be a certain area from me.

Fern and her friends leave and I close my eyes, a rush of relief goes right through my body. My eyes flutter open as I let go of Miles hand and to my own locker. 

37 days before.

The moment I enter my front door, I hear rustling from the kitchen.

I'm one step onto the staircase when I hear footsteps and my mother calling for me.

"Taylor!" She frantically rushes over to me, the house phone to her ear.

Without thinking she hands it over to me. "Mum, who's on the phone?" I ask but she goes pale and walks away, ignoring my question. I shake it off and press my ear to the phone.

"Hello?" I ask, climbing the staircase.

"Taylor," the voice on the other end sounds surprised to be talking to me. I place my school bag near my desk and settle down on my bed.

"Yes? Who's this?" I question the other voice on the other end of the phone line.

"Don't remember my voice? I see."

"N-No. Who is this?" I demand.

"Taylor. It's your father."

I drop the phone in shock.

My father?
