Chapter 42

My breath was knocked off from me as Jade ranted. "Holy crap, D, are you alright?" She asked, moving back from me a little, inspecting my arms and legs. "I heard what happened. You know – pack stuff. Ugh, I should’ve came the moment I heard the news but I didn’t want to cause so much more burden. I’m so so so so – "

"Jade," I yelled over her rant, gripping both of her wrist in mine. "Relax. I’m fine."

She blew out a sigh before hugging me again. "I’m just worried about you. Anyways, why are you here? Not that I don’t want you here or anything, because I do. I just thought your mom would’ve wanted you home?" Her thin eyebrows scrunched up, leaving a crease in between them. She looked over to Galam curiously before scratching her face.
