Chapter 13

Emily's POV

My footsteps echoed throughout the house as I rushed down into the basement.

"Vincent!" I screamed. "Bo!"

Nobody answered me so I jumped over the railing of the staircase, nearly breaking my neck in the process.

"Bo?" I breathed out and scrambled over to him crouching over Vincent who was lying on the ground.

He was sobbing, "That bastard!"

I fell to my knees and gasped for air because I was choking on my own emotions.

"Vince! Vincent, you freak! Come on man!" Bo pushed his limp brother's body.

I put my head on Bo's shoulder and he held me to him as we both cried for what seemed like hours. We didn't stop when the door upstairs slammed.

We didn't stop when we heard the screams of girls upstairs.

We didn't stop when Caitlin and Nick slowly worked their way down the stairs, sitting beside us, Caitlin rubbing my back softly and Nick's heavy breathing was the only sound other than our quiet weeps.
