(Author's POV)
"Victoria." Her voice came out unsteady, which was exactly right. "I just got a call from the hospital. It's Jasper."
Victoria's eyes opened fully. "What?"
"He was in an accident. Out of town. They said-" Sienna pressed her hand over her mouth, let her breath shake. "They said it was serious."
Victoria sat up. "How serious? What kind of accident? Which hospital-"
Sienna's phone buzzed. She looked at the screen, then up at Victoria, and let her face collapse.
"He didn't-" Her voice broke. "They said he didn't make it."
The sound Victoria made wasn't a word. It was something older than words. She lurched forward, one hand clutching at her chest, and then she was falling - sideways, off the edge of the bed, hitting the floor with a sound that was too soft and too final.
