I only think of one person as I try to shake the fog from my head. Where am I, and where is Jace? We were at the carnival with my sister when I remember I had to use the bathroom. I can remember turning around to see Jace grinning at my little butt shake but then it turned to a look of horror.

“Jace…”

“I’m here, baby!”

I try saying more but my mouth is so parched. My lids are so heavy at the moment that I leave them closed for the time being. I open and close my mouth, and then whisper the word water. Feet shuffle and then I feel something against my lips.

“Take it slow, beautiful, I don’t want you choking.” Jace’s voice is like silk as it hits my ears.

After taking enough water, 1 move my head away, and slowly start to crack my eyes open. The light in the room is dimmed down, so it doesn’t hurt so much but my eyes still feel so heavyWhere am I?” My voice sounds croaky, and my face seems to hurt when I talk but I need to know what’s going on.

“You’re in the hospital, baby. Do you remember being stabbed at the carnival?” He asks.

Book 2 – Forever Scared

Flashes of images go through my head, and then it’s there. That’s why Jace looked the way he did. I remember turning around and then a sharp pain going through my side, just be fore a burning sensation sliced across my cheek. My hand moves to said cheek and I wince. There is a bandage over it but it, hurts like hell to touch it.

Jace grabs my hand and moves it away, “The doctor need ed to put a few stitches in the cut on your cheek, but she isn’t that worried about it.”

“How bad is it?” I ask.

“How bad is what?” I can see it in his eyes that he doesn’t want to answer me.

“How bad does my cheek look, Jace. Please don’t lie to me, either.”
