~Tia~

“…..you have to kill me as well.” I can feel the confusion through the bond, but I can’t. I can’t look at him…..I can’t face him. I can barely breathe, barely stay on my feet. What did I do? How could I be so careless and self-centered?

I went to that house to check on Aida. I saw what was in her room; the shrine she had to Lincoln. Anyone who saw that would know that there was something not right with Aida. Anyone else would have taken the time to tell someone to get her some help. I did none of those things. I told no one and didn’t try to get her any help. Instead, I went about my life as if I had never seen it.

Aida took Lincoln, and it’s all my fault. Iii…iiiiiffff I had jjjjjust said ssssssomething……iiiiiiiffffff…..” I couldn’t finish, emotions taking hold of me. Landon pulls me into him and rubs my back. I bury my face into his chest and let it all out.

know, no one knew. Even if you told someone what you saw, she probably would have still tried to take him. You can’t blame yourself. You can’t assume that you telling someone would have gotten her help. Would your dad have listened and gotten her any help?” Landon lifts my face and wipes the tears away. “This
