Chapter Nineteen: A Kissing Frog

Tyler POV

I looked at the photograph of a young fifteen-year-old girl with short brown hair and dark hazel eyes that matched mine. Shanelle was her name. To think that this innocent girl was the daughter of that bastard was almost unbelievable. She looked so innocent and angelic, and I almost felt bad for doing this. But revenge was revenge, and it did not matter how hard it was, I still had to do it.

Letting out a deep sigh, I patted Lucas’s shoulder. “I owe you this one, man.”

My friend laughed, shaking his head. “Don’t sweat it, dude. She’s pretty. It’s my pleasure.”

Autumn POV

I felt like crap as I lay on my bed, staring at the four walls. Though I hated to admit it, I felt bad for threatening Ellie. I wished I had not had to do it, but she had left me no choice. I did not regret fighting for a friend, but I regretted not walking faster. If I had walked fast enough, I probably wouldn’t have heard her cry.
