Chapter 5

I stayed at the healing den for two days.

Tristan wanted to keep me there, but I snuck out when he wasn't looking.

My mom's nursing den called to remind me it was time to pay up.

I cashed the check Kyle gave me, but I couldn't blow it. That money was all my mom had to survive for the next ten years.

I needed to earn more.

Even if I only had two months left, I had to make the most out of this wrecked body.

I went back to my apartment to change.

I looked in the mirror.
