Chapter 120

Cole’s POV

“You have done nothing wrong. Do not fear Lilly or Angela. Do not fight them. All they want is to calm and comfort you. I’m much too angry with Lucas to do that for you, but I will be up later. I’ll spend some time with you once I calm down.”

I yelp hard as Dr. Pierce moves her hand from the back of my head. Time itself seems to freeze with my reaction to something so simple.

“I’d like to get you a milligram of Ativan. Can you hold the mask? I don’t want to strap it to you.” Dr. Pierce’s voice is soft and encouraging as I find the will to place my hand on the mask as she lets go of it.

“What’s going on down there with you?”

I hear Luna sigh heavily as she gently starts petting my hair.
