Decent Essays

Carley's POV I stood outside the high school. There were police everywhere, ambulances too, even though no one got hurt. Except Reagan. Reagan acted as if everything was her fault. But it wasn't. She looked pretty willing to die. I swallowed as remember what happened afterward. The murderers left through a window, and Abby came back. The police came in, guns ready to see no one there. Okay, maybe I was a fool to not tell anyone what happened, Reagan's secret, the weird, extremely creepy cult thing, okay?
