Guilt
Walking, but as if I couldn't feel my own legs, I walked over to them and Axel was on top of her. And I prayed, with a faith I never had, that she was shot.
Martina and I were in a state of shock watching Axel get up off the floor, in his bloody clothes, completely flustered. Amanda was injured…or dead. I did not know. In a matter of seconds, Noah was on my side and a couple of armed policemen entered the house.
- Meg, are you okay? Answer...
I wanted to answer, but I couldn't get a word out. It was like this was all a nightmare and I was trying to wake up, but I couldn't.
I watched Axel hug Martina and the cops run to Amanda. Then I felt Noah's arms lifting me off the ground… And everything went completely dark.
