Sierra's POVWill started high school the year he turned fourteen.High school. The words hit different than middle school. Bigger. Scarier. More real.He wasn't a little kid anymore. He was tall now, almost as tall as Louis. His voice cracked at random moments. He spent hours in front of the mirror worrying about his hair."Mom, do I look weird?""You look great, baby.""You have to say that. You're my mom.""I'm also a person with eyes. You look great."He sighed. Stared at himself some more."I'm nervous.""About what?""Everything. New school. New people. New teachers. What if no one likes me? What if I can't find my classes? What if—""Will." I put my hands on his shoulders. "You've got this. You're smart, you're kind, you're funny. You made friends in middle school. You'll make friends in high school.""Middle school was different. Everyone was new and scared.""High school is the same. Everyone's new and scared. They just hide it better."He took a deep breath. Nodded."Okay.

Sierra's POVWill started middle school the year he turned eleven.Middle school. Those two words struck fear into my heart more than any ghost ever had."He'll be fine," Louis said, watching me panic over lunch options and locker combinations."You don't understand. Middle school is where kids get eaten alive. Socially. Emotionally. I still have nightmares about my own middle school years.""That was decades ago.""Trauma doesn't have an expiration date."Will wandered into the kitchen, looking way too calm for someone about to enter the lion's den."Mom's spiraling again," he observed."I am not spiraling. I'm preparing.""By folding the same napkin seventeen times?"I looked down. He was right. The napkin was destroyed."Okay, maybe a little spiral."Louis put his arm around me. "He's going to be fine. He's smart, he's kind, he's got friends. And he has us.""Dad, that was almost sweet.""Almost?""Needs work."Will grabbed a Pop-Tart and headed for the door. The bus would be here

Sierra's POVThe year Will turned eleven was the year everything shifted again.Not bad shifting. Just... changing. Like the world decided we'd had enough drama and now it was time for regular life problems.Regular life problems turned out to be almost as hard as the scary ones. Just in different ways.---Will came home from school one day with a note.Not a creepy note. A school note. His teacher wanted to meet with us."Why?" I asked, my heart doing that old familiar skip. Old habits.Will shrugged. "Dunno. She just said to give you this."He handed over the paper and ran off to find a snack.Louis came home that night. I showed him the note."Probably nothing," he said. "He's a good kid. Does well in school.""Then why the meeting?""We'll find out tomorrow."---The meeting was in a small classroom after school.Mrs. Patterson was young and nice and looked nervous. That made me nervous."Thank you for coming," she said. "Will is a wonderful student. Bright, funny, kind to other

Sierra's POVThe day of the meeting came too fast.I woke up at 5 a.m. and just lay there, staring at the ceiling. Will was in his crib next to our bed, making little sleeping sounds. Katie was down the hall, probably still asleep. Louis was already gone—meeting with Martin, going over the plan one more time.The plan.Meet William at an old warehouse. Abandoned. On our terms. Surrounded by guards. Hidden cameras everywhere. Louis would go in alone, but not really alone. Twenty men hidden in the shadows.It should have felt safe. It didn't.I got up and went to Will. Picked him up, even though he was still asleep. Held him against my chest and breathed him in."Mommy's going to fix this," I whispered. "I promise."He didn't wake up. Just snuggled closer.---Louis came back at 7 a.m. He looked tired but focused."Everything's ready," he said. "Cameras. Guards. Backup plans. We have him if he shows.""If he shows.""He'll show. He wants this too badly."I nodded. Put Will down carefull
