Chapter 5 

Elena POV 

Pulling into the driveway after finishing work, my little brother was playing on the grass with his soccer ball. I was supposed to be meeting Alisha for training but was now considering canceling because I had felt terribly ill all day. 

Usually, after training, we would head out of town to meet up with Jake, so I sighed, wanting to see him because I hadn‘t seen him in a week. I had been struck down with some violent stomach bug that had me racing for the toilet for the last couple of days to upturn my stomach. 

Climbing out of the car, my little brother Luke rushes over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist. I mess his hair, and he unwraps his little arms from around my waist, looking up at me. 

“Come play with me, Elena,” Luke whines, grabbing my hand in both of his and tugging me toward the grass. 

“I have to get ready to go meet Alisha. And I don‘t feel too good,” I tell him. 

“Please, please, twenty minutes,” he pouts, and I roll my eyes before sighing. 

“Fine, twenty minutes, and that‘s it,” I tell him, tossing my
