Chapter 126: Jo

Cal shot toward the front door again. "I'm going after Darby."

"Wait!" With shaky hands, I plucked the glass shards from the bottom of my feet. I held back the pained hisses behind tightened lips because this kind of pain was nothing compared to what I felt inside. "I'm going with you."

"You're bleeding everywhere," he shouted. "You'll just slow me down."

I pulled the last shard loose and glared at him. "Throw me my sandals."

"I'm leaving," he said and banged his fist against the wall on his way out.

"Don't you dare leave me! You're all I have left!" I sounded hysterical, and my voice broke into a thousand pieces with great, heaving sobs, but I didn't care.

All of this threatened to overwhelm me, and the one thing that might just keep me glued together was my older brother. But if he left, I would be all alone to think about Leigh, and I knew that would shatter me from the inside out.
