K I A R A
I would be a fool to think Damon wouldn’t be able to read me. He has lived with lies for so long. He could probably smell it from miles away.
I sank to the floor, my body trembling. He knew. He knew something was wrong. But I couldn't tell him. I couldn't put my grandmother's life at risk. My father would kill her without a second thought. I saw it in his eyes.
I had to play along. I had to pretend that my father had changed. I had to pretend that I believed him. It was the only way to keep my grandmother safe.
She was the only piece of my mother u have left and if she gets hurt. I would never forgive myself.
I looked back at my phone, where my father had sent me a picture of my grandmother, unconscious on a cold floor with a text underneath it that said,
'DON’T FAIL ME.'
