Amelia’s pov

Foster’s face was still smudged with a bit of ash and his eyes told me that he was still terrified by what had happened. I can only imagine what Pickett must be feeling right now. The horror, the pure terror.

“We can’t just make assumptions…..” Foster trails off softly as we both watch Raiden walk into the building. He did not even care to come over and ask Foster if he was okay and to think I was so close to giving into him earlier….

My heart hurts and my eyes become teary. He got through my walls like no other had done before. I was….falling for him. In such little time Raiden, had gotten through walls I had built over the years.

My gut twisted with pain and my lower lip wobble. I bit into it to stop the slight tremble. I wish he would not have betrayed me this way. Did he even…like me? I shook my head. Of course he didn’t. This had always been a game to him.

A sick twisted game.

My fists ball at my sides. I hate him.

Think about it Foster. This happened after he got me out of the school. I just know he had something to do with it,” my

words are bitter on my tongue and leave a stain that made me nauseas.

“That’s a serious accusation Amelia,” Foster’s voice drop into a nervous whisper. “I don’t think we-

I sighed and gave Foster my full attention. Something shifted in his gaze then, something that made me realize he believed me, yet he was terrified of Raiden and his friends. That alone fueled my anger.

I grit my teeth and looked around. There was no point with trying to convince him to speak what he really thought. “Will I be able to check up on Pickett?” returning my gaze to Foster’s I see his eyes widen slightly, see the way his cheeks flush. It was

like he is embarrassed and it is confirmed when he darts his eyes away from me.

My brows pinch in thought. Why was he suddenly nervous?

A nervous laugh tumble out of his mouth and his eyes skittishly look anywhere but at me. “You can’t,” he cleared his throat, his eyes dropping to stare at his feet. Something twisted in my gut then. Something was off.

“Aren’t anyone allowed to-

” It’s not that,” Foster shifted uncomfortably, his shoulders curling forward in defeat as his eyes nervously lifted. Pickett

doesn’t want to see you. She doesn’t want you near her.”

A sick feeling settled in my stomach as the words punctured my heart painfully and quickly. “What?” I croaked. I had only

made two friends since I got here and one of them seem to hate my guts.

I swallowed hard, eyeing Foster’s nervous form. ” She knows,” Foster whispers, leaning forward while his voice dropped

lower. He only wanted me to hear his next words.” She saw who did it.”

My breath caught in my throat. ” Did she say-

Foster shook her head. “You don’t get it Amelia,” his eyes saddened. “On the first day I warned you who to stay clear of. If

only you had listened,” he stops to take in a drag of air. “She-” he looks away. “Blames you.”

I stumble back, his words hurting me painfully deep. To be honest, I had already known what he was about to say, but hearing it out of his mouth shattered me. Tears beamed in my eyes. “I-

Just give her some time,” Foster whispers.

I shook my head, swallowing hard. Deep down I knew she was right. It wasn’t Raiden who I should blame but myself. I was the cause of everything bad happening to her. My fists clench tightly. “It was Dayna, wasn’t it?” I asked, the area where my heart was feeling cold.

Foster flinched, as if the name brought him fear. He didn’t have to respond to my question for me to know the answer I already knew. “You need to tell the cops. She should tell them-

Foster gripped my wrist tightly, his eyes widening in fear as he shakes his head aggressively. “No you will only make this

worse for us all Amelia! Listen to me for once-

“She harmed you two-

“Amelia!” Foster barked and for the first time I bit my tongue to keep quiet. “Leave it. Please. We will handle this one. Please just,” he gripped harder. “Don’t.”

I swallowed hard as I see the desperation in his eyes. Whatever control Raiden and his friends had on Foster and Pickett was

extreme. They were down right terrified of him like his was some kind of wolf and they were his prey.

I nod and he let me go, pushing out a sigh of relief just as some students bursts out of the doors. We both and those who still

were gawking at the scene turn to them.

Hey Mickey, what’s going on?” Foster yelled to catch a girl’s attention. She swings her bag strap over her shoulder while shrugging. We got released early. Everyone was demanded to go home now.”

Foster looked at me confused. “I guess we need to go home,” he looks back at Mickey.” Hey can you give me a ride home!”

“Sure!” she replied.

My brows furrowed. “What about Pickett? We-

Foster’s eyes stare away from me as he cuts in without emotion in his voice.” She also doesn’t want me to be near her

Amelia,” he lets out a sigh and returned his gaze on me. They are void of emotion.

She’s traumatised and the only people she wants near her are her parents. I’m sure they’re in the hospital with her as we speak,” he swallowed a flicker of emotion running through his eyes before he buries it.

We both should give her some space. I can only imagine what she’s going through,” he leaned closer, voice dropping into a soft whisper. “Dayna almost burned her alive Amelia. The last person she wants to see right now is you.

I flinched as his words caused me to feel like my chest had caved in on itself. It hurt to know that Foster was completely right. The last person Pickett would want to

to see was me. I nod, my vision getting teary

Just promise me you will leave it this time?” Foster added. We don’t things to escalate.”

I press my lips into a line but still nod despite not agreeing nail for trying to harm them. Not be quiet about it.

th him. Pickett and Foster should be fighting Dayna tooth and

He glanced at Mickey then back at me.” You can catch a ride v think….” I looked at the building. Raiden and his friends have yet to come out. He was still in there.

“I will walk,” I finished, “I need the walk actually. I need to clear my head,” it was true, I really did need to clear my head but I wasn’t going home yet Not before facing him. I couldn’t let this go despite Foster’s warning. Not when I was the cause of

everything that happened.

Foster nods. “Well I guess we should head in to get our bags,” I nod and we both enter the school to get our stuff.

I can feel the weight of lying to Foster weighing down on me and as I bid him goodbye while he enters Mickey’s car, that weight grew heavier. I was about to betray him.

I sighed, gripping my bag before turning back to the school as Mickey and Foster disappear out of my sight. Raiden was still in there, he hadn’t come out yet

The school was practically empty when Foster and I went to grab our bags. It was only me in the parking lot, glaring at the school. From the moment I stepped foot in that building my life had become even more miserable. It was like I was living in

hell.

Gritting my teeth, I make my way to the building. I wasn’t going to leave until I give Raiden a piece of my mind. I wasn’t going to leave until I hurt him. I wasn’t going to leave until I break him like he had done to me.
