Let’s go home,” Sierra said softly

She didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer

Okay. Let’s go home,” Johnathan replied without hesitation

He quickly handled her discharge and brought her back

For the next two days, Sierra stayed home recovering. She was especially grateful that Dickson. was off traveling with his classmatesotherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to hide her injuries

Dickson had finished his SATs recently and gone on a trip with friends. He’d called a few days ago. saying he’d be gone for a bit longer. Back then, she thought he was taking too longnow, she hoped he’d stay away just a few more days

She didn’t even know if her bruises would be healed by the time he came back

During those quiet days at home, Sierra began to notice something strange about Johnathan

He had arranged everything down to the last detail. The moment she moved, he was at her side, asking what she needed

At first, she thought he was just shaken. That it would wear off in a few days

But instead, it only intensified

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and decided to talk to him

Mr. Yag she said, watching him closely, are you still blaming yourself?”

past few days, he hadn’t slept at all. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Sierra covered in od, lying on the ground

It’s over now, Sierra. I failed to protect you,he said, his voice rough 

The anger, the fear, the guiltit had all been festering inside him

I’m a person, not something you can keep on a leash,Sierra said. Accidents happen. Stop blaming yourself.” 

But if it weren’t for me, none of this would’ve happened.Johnathan shot back

Sierra raised a brow. Then maybe we should break up?” 

The moment the words left her lips, he grabbed her in a tight embrace. Don’t even think about

Mr. Yaeger,” she said, watching him closely, are you still blaming yourself?” 

Johnathan didn’t answer

These past few days, he hadn’t slept at all. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Sierra covered in blood, lying on the ground

It’s over now, Sierra. I failed to protect you,he said, his voice rough

Sierra couldn’t help but laugh. She gently patted his back, her voice low and comforting. It’s over. Let it go. What we need to do now is figure out who’s behind this. Only then can we really 

move on.” 

Until the person responsible was found, it could happen again

Her calm words finally began to steady Johnathan. Seeing her strength, he realized he couldn’t stay buried in guilt forever

Once he’d calmed down, Sierra said, Let’s go over what happened that night again. Maybe we missed something.” 

She hated reliving itbut she wasn’t the kind of person who backed down. Even if the memories. made her heart race, she’d rather face them than avoid them

She walked through the entire night in detail, letting Johnathan listen for anything she might’ve overlooked

When she mentioned eating something and taking a few sips of waterright before Quinn came to call her outsideJohnathan’s eyes flickered

When did you ask Quinn to come get me?he asked

Right after I started feeling off.”” 

Sierra thought back. It was around eight p.m. They had arrived at Maddox’s estate at about seven. She’d eaten around 7:10, and not long after that, Quinn came for her. She remembered it clearly -she’d received a message on her phone right as Quinn arrived, and she’d glanced at the time

They didn’t wander long in the garden before they found a bench and sat down. That would’ve been around eight

Did you choose that spot, or did Quinn?Johnathan asked again

Realizing his questions kept circling back to Quinn, Sierra looked at him and replied. Neither of us, really. We were just walking and saw a quiet spot to rest.” 

Even if she sometimes felt jealous of Quinn, she wouldn’t falsely accuse someoneespecially not over something like this

Why are you focusing on Quinn?Sierra finally asked. Did she do something wrong?” 

She’s staying with the Wynn family,” Johnathan said quietly

He hadn’t noticed anything off about Quinn. But the fact that she lived with the Wynn family- that was the problem

Sierra frowned. So you think someone from the Wynn family did this? But what would they gain?”

Sierra was silent

What could she say to that

Sometimes, she had to admitShane was right

Johnathan and he really were the same kind of man
