Samantha's POV
We were walking past the bathroom when we came across Zander, who was lying unconscious on the ground. Joshua most likely struck him, but I believe he was still alive. I don’t think Joshua would dare to kill someone.
When we eventually got out, Diego was waiting for us at the backside. He immediately assisted Caleb, who was still feeling weak from Miggy's beating, while Joshua carried me on his back as he wriggled and wrestled our way through the twigs and branches of the woods behind the house.
I rested my cheek against Joshua's back as I sobbed quietly. How could they have done such a thing to me? They're the ones who deceived me, so why was I the one who had to suffer?
‘’Samantha…’’ Caleb breathed out weakly, Diego was supporting his weight as we trudged wearily down the grassy pathway.
I jerked my attention away from him and moved my head, my gaze shifting to the other side. I don't want to see him hurt. I don’t want him to see my bloody face.
