Chapter 47: The Burden of Love

I felt the worst pain in my head. There were many voices crashing into one another but I couldn’t grasp even one word.

Where was I?

My head was touching something hard. I was sitting, but my head was down. A table?

I tried to open my eyes. Like everywhere else in my body, those hurt too.

I heard some noises coming from afar. I needed to pull my head up.

With lots of effort, I managed to do it.

What I saw scared me. I was in a police station. What was I doing here?

If Gary hit us, which he probably did, why would I be here? Where was Max? I didn’t want to think about the possibility that he wasn’t here too.

I tried to pull my hair up, it was itching my eyes. Then I realized that my hands were cuffed behind the chair.

I panicked and started murmuring, ‘’No, no, no.’’

Was it because of the accident? Were we, Max and I, guilty?

That’s probably what the Montgomerys are trying to do.
