Chapter 97
Lily's POV
The first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was pain.
Not the stabbing kind, the kind that screams and fades, but the heavy, dull ache that seeped into every bone. My arms throbbed. My ribs ached with every shallow breath I took. Even blinking felt like work.
I tried shifting, and instantly regretted it. My body screamed.
"Shit".I pressed my lips together, shut my eyes again, and whispered to myself.
"I can't do this anymore… I can't just lie here." My voice was thin, cracking. "I have to leave. I have to find her."
My chest tightened. My mother's face flashed in my mind, it was the only thing pulling me through this nightmare.
"I have to get out," I murmured. "I'll find her. And then… I'll go back…back to Mark."
The name slipped out before I could stop it.
