Becoming Chloe
"Look at her! She’s not moving! I am not leaving her here! You can leave without me if you're that terrified of getting in trouble, but I am not moving an inch!"
Mark blinked at me, completely stunned. He took a step back, looking around the rapidly empty building, Jaxon and Kane were already slipping out through the back doors, completely abandoning the disaster they had created.
I rushed down to where Chloe lay. "Hey! Wake up, open your eyes! Please, wake up!" I cried, my hands trembling as I reached out and gently gripped her shoulders. I shook her slightly, desperate for any sign of life, any flutter of her eyelids. Her face was deathly pale, her skin cold to the touch.
