Leilani.
"Jay?" I whispered in a shaky voice. I do not know why but I couldn't bring myself to move. I wanted to go to him, to help him up… but the look in his eyes was frightening. It sent chills running up my spine, and goosebumps spreading over my skin.
"Jarek, are you okay?" I tried again when he wouldn't respond. My eyes darted behind me to the empty hallway, and I know I should make a run for it, but something at the back of my skull compelled me not to.
So I did something crazy instead. I shut the door behind me and slowly walked over to him, ensuring that I did not make startling sounds as I went.
Seeing Jay like this scared me shitless but made me worried at the same time. When I was a few feet away from him, I went on my knees and whispered again; "Jay, it's Leilani."
