Chapter 14 


“Wake up!” Arden’s voice yells behind the closed door. He  bangs the door three times before I hear his loud  footsteps become a distant sound. 


I sigh, turning over on my back and throwing the blanket  off my body. After sneaking back in last night, I went  straight to bed after changing into my pajamas. The  events from last night kept replaying in my head.
