Chapter 41

Bella wasn't sure how much sleep she actually got, but waking up the next morning in a room full of girls – at least a couple of which were clearly still awake from the night before – wasn't the best way to start a morning.

Especially after the revelations of the night before.

There was a physical pain in pit of her stomach, like she'd swallowed a small rock and it was now laying heavily in her gut.

The more she woke up, the more vivid the memories of what Lauren had been joking about doing became. She didn't understand how anyone, especially girls she'd grown up with and known most of her life, could even contemplate such things.

Bella closed her eyes, trying to get back to sleep, but after a moment she realized she couldn't do it.

Was she in a room with a bunch of would be killers?

Her breathing sped as she tried to find the zipper on the side of the sleeping bag – tried to get free.
