Leo POV

Present

My phone vibrated on the table next to my bed and without opening my eyes I answered it.

“Yeah?”

“Leo, I need you to get here now,” Asher said and I sat up quickly, suddenly wide awake.

“Why? Is Emma okay?”

“No, she is freaking out. She’s scared of me, and Leo…she can’t see anything. They said she is temporarily blind.”

My heart stopped for a second as the horror of that statement settled into my mind. She’s blind? How?

“What do you need me to do?” I asked him.

“Just get here, maybe she will calm down if you’re here. The shrink is coming around to day to talk to her. They want to make sure she won’t try to hurt herself again before they release her. Also, the cops were here asking her questions. She wouldn’t admit to anything, but the cops could tell she was holding back. They asked me who I thought was hurting her and I said they should speak to her father since he was the one who had a tight leash on her. They said they haven’t been able to contact him for two days now. Something isn’t right.” Asher rambled on.

“Okay okay, I’ll head there now,” I told him hanging up quickly.

I quickly stood and wandered around grabbing random pieces of clothing and pulling them on. I rushed out of the door and down the stairs passing the living room where Jayden and Logan were watching TV.

“Hey! Where are you going?” Logan asked.

“Is it Emma? Is she okay?”
