Chapter 23

Elena POV

I’m having a change of mind as I watch Ella trying to get a cab for me. I don’t feel as much pain as I used to earlier. Ella’s is kind of skeptical about why home isn’t a place to be alone; I don’t want her having any suspicion.

“Ella, do you mind going swimming with me?” I ask; my voice sounds clearer now than before.

She takes her eyes and finger off her phone; she stares excitedly at me. “Seriously? Sure! Let’s go.” She's active all of a sudden.

I know Ella is this type—always open for fun. I need to go swimming to relax my brain and maybe think of what I want to do to my fucking mates and that Riley.

“But we can’t go like this. We didn’t bring any clothes we can use for swimming along.” Her voice drops. She no longer types on her phone.
