Josie’s bottom lip trembled “But I love you, Web I’ve always loved you”

I looked at her with a sad sort of disappoint that has never existed If you lovedall this You wouldn’t be threatening our happiness just to prove so to yourself” Then I walked over tomy back on Josie Probably for the last time by the look on her face

And I was right When I turned around, I saw her pushing through the e lot

“Hi, Kyle How is our girl?” Mo me

“She’s doing fine A little banged up and a broken ar her home later today” I scrubbed my face with my hand “Did Whitney call you?”

Dad nodded “She called yesterday evening We ca back there with Katie We got here first thing this ”

“Did Whitney co for her Desperate to see her

Dad and Moht she’d be here It’s not like her not to be,” Mom said with concern

“I think she and Josie had some words I haven’t spoken to her I’ve only just left Katie’s side I think I’ll try calling her now Would you guys like to go back and sit with Katie? I’ll let the nurse on duty know it’s okay”

OnceKatie, I went outside to call Whitney Part of ht she wouldn’t answer, but I was pleased when she picked up

“How is she?” she asked in a rush before I could say hello

“She has a broken ar, and a few stitches, but otherwise, she’s okay, Whit”

I heard her let out a shaky sob “She’s okay?”

“Yes, Whit She’ll be fine How are you? I should have coht Were you hurt?” In all the anguish over Katie, I had forgotten there was another person in that car The thought of so to Whitney turned my blood cold “Please tell me you’re okay”

“I’m fine, Kyle Just so to me from far away

“Thank God I couldn’t handle soot that phone call—”

“I’m so sorry, Kyle My God, I’ to send you a text, it wouldn’t have happened I have no excuse I was driving Katie; I should have beenon This is all ive myself”
