starts walking again.
“I hope she doesn’t remember everything,” Adam whispers to me. I nod.
By the looks of it , she is remembering something else. She starts to turn around towards us, but stops. Her body goes rigid, and she has a look of horror on her face. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. This is going to kill her. “I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!!” she screams, then whispers, “I don’t want to remember this. I can’t.” Lily bends down to touch her, but Maggie moves away. “Please don’t touch me.” She sounds so scared. What can we do to help her?
Before any of us can do anything, Maggie gets up and runs for the barn. Amy and Lily both move to go after her, but Brad stops them. “No, she needs time. Just give her time.” They nod, tears running down their faces. “I should call the doctor. I want to see if there’s something we can do to help her through this,” Brad says. After Brad walks into the house, Adam turns to me and says
“Fuck! Why couldn’t that be the one thing she didn’t remember?”
“Doesn’t work like that… Bro” Jade pipes in.
“Pisses me the hell off… that fuck face is still out there” Creed growls
That seemed to get Lily’s attention, “You’s will not tell Maggie that he hasn’t been find”. Shit does she really think we would even do that to Maggie, she better get that outta her head now! I am so close to yelling at all of them. They are starting to piss me the hell off. What if Maggie came out right now and see this shit? God damn it! They ain’t using your fucking heads! Before Lily can open her mouth again, Chase Roars
“What. The. Hell, is your fucking problem? Are any of you using your heads right now? This right here is the last thing Maggie needs and you all fucking you it”
I stand there watching Chase stomp away, thank you Chase! I could give a fuck that he beat me to it. I’m just glad that they all shut their mouths. Looking about at everyone else, I shake my head and turn to follow Chase.

An hour later with still no sign of her, we go into the barn to check on Maggie. She’s standing with her arms around Storm. “Maggie, honey, the doctor wants to see you back at the hospital. He just wants to give you a check-up,” Brad says. She nods and comes out of the stall. You can feel how broken she is, kind of like she’s given up. I feel helpless. I don’t know how to help her.
We all stand there watching as they get into the truck and drive off, feels like we just stood there for an hour staring at the lane. It was probably only minutes. Amy was the first to head inside with my mom and Heather right behind her.
“We all need to get our head s straight, so we can help Maggie though this. She needs us” Mark says
We all nod, a few minutes pass before we head into the house.
Four hours later , they’re back from the hospital. Lily helps her upstairs while Brad tells us that the doctor set her up with therapy and medication for panic attacks. Fuck!!! My poor gorgeous girl.
Chapter 14 (Maggie)
It’s a month later, and I’m back in school. The police still haven’t found Christian, and my family and friends still act like I am going to break. I know they are just concerned, but it’s driving me nuts. I wish everything could go back to being the way it was before. After the day we got back from the hospital and I remembered everything, I fell apart so Dad and Mom took me back to the hospital. We got meds for panic attacks, and I do therapy twice a week now. I still have nightmares every night so Mom either sleeps with me after my nightmare, or we sit downstairs and drink hot chocolate and talk about it. Chase, Todd, and Nate have gone back to work, but they all call me daily, and they are supposed to be visiting soon. Nate and Todd have become like brothers to me. I am so glad to have them in my life.
I’m at school right now, sitting in the lunch room, watching all the people I love…Adam, Jase,
