CHAPTER 149

  Kara

  "You have to tell me the truth," I asked.

  "I can't, Kara. I would, but Isabella told me it won't work if I tell you. The only thing I can tell you to help you is to find the answer where it all began. What created the problem is what can help you solve it. Find the solution to the problem, Kara," he requested.

  I furrowed my eyebrows.

  "I don't have time for riddles," I snapped.

  Derek came over to us. He smiled kindly.

  "Is everything okay here?" he asked.

  His mother smiled. I pretended nothing was happening. I was good at pretending. I became an expert a long time ago.

  "Everything is fine," I lied.

  Stefan and Sara arrived at the party. Everyone applauded them standing up. Sara passionately kissed Stefan, and Stefan played along. Derek took me to our table so I wouldn't see what was happening. Waiters started serving food, but I didn't feel hungry. My body wasn't accepting the food.
