How could a person be so heartless? How could someone who was once so sweet be so cruel? Logan wondered, but the warning bells went off in his head; he knew why, it was the same reason he was walking around like a zombie.He did not know what was worse; that she was raped, that she hated him, or the fact that she had no sympathy.

"She was admitted at the same hospital as Mr Billings."She sat there for a second, waiting for someone to tell her something else, something that did not need for her to solve.But the prolonged silence killed her hopes. Her mouth suddenly filled with too much saliva, and she felt her stomach twisting and turning strangely, and then she retched.
