had something to do with her disappearance, but she always played the innocent. I just wanted to know about you, and I was worried about Rose.”
    Looking over at me he had the saddest eyes, but I wasn’t falling for it.
    “Four years later, Beverly handed me an address. I wasn’t sure what it was, it was in the bad part of the city. I had all but given up until Beverly handed me that paper. Beverly told me I should go to that address today. My heart was in my throat when I walked up to that door. I was shocked when I got there. She was living in poverty. There was no food. She was crying. Rose hid you from me that whole time. I was furious with her. That’s when I took you, brought you home to live with me, Jon, and Beverly. At the time I couldn’t understand why Rose wouldn’t try to contact me for help. Beverly took you right in and said that she was so happy to have another son, and she’d love you as her own. I fell for her lies… again.”
    I look into his eyes. “You fucking left her.”
    Snapping his head back up to me he glares at me. “Would you fucking let me finish? You are the one to who wanted to know.”
    We stare at each other for a few minutes in silence. His chest was rising and falling quickly.

 
     
    Walking out of Caston’s office I was in shock. His mom is alive? How? My thoughts consumed me. It wasn’t until we got to Sara’s car that I realize I’d walked the entire way without my crutches. I stop abruptly, causing Sara to almost run into the back of me.
    “What the…”
    I spun around, coming face to face with her. “I just walked this entire way without my crutches. I don’t even feel tired and my leg doesn’t hurt.”
    A huge smile engulfs her face. “I was waiting for you to notice.”
    I want to jump up and down, but I know better than to push my luck.
    “You were a walking zombie. Apparently you made up with Caston, so what’s on your mind now?”
    Arriving at the car, I slid into the passenger side of her red BMW X6. “Caston just told me his real mom is alive. What do you know about her?”
    She starts the car and turns to face me. “I know. He mentioned something to me. It’s fucked up, but I only know what you do. I mean, he’s told me the story James has told him, which I assume is what he’s told you.”
    I nod, feeling slightly hurt she knew before I did.
    “Caston will figure this out, don’t worry.” She pats me on the leg high enough to make my insides flutter.
    Blushing, I look out the window. She laughs. “I love when you blush.”
    “Caston says the same thing all the time.”
    “I always knew he had good taste.”
    We both laugh. She backs out of her space and heads for the exit.
    Driving in silence for a little while staring at the passing scenery I catch site of a blacked out SUV following us. My heart starts to beat hard when I notice it’s doing exactly what we are.
    “Get out of here, Sara. I mean now, let’s go.”
    She looks at me confused, but floors it, weaving in and out of traffic. I keep glancing behind us as the black vehicle does the same, following our every move.
    “What the fuck is wrong, Bre?”
    “I think we’re being followed.”
    Sara weaves in and out of traffic. I keep my eyes glued to the cars behind us. I see the blacked out SUV turn a few streets back. I take a deep breath and turn in my seat to face forward.
    “They turned.”
    Sara quickly turns off onto a side street and throws the car in park. “Sabrina, my God, we could’ve been killed, the way I was driving. It was probably some random person driving down the street.”
    I cringe, feeling bad for scaring her. Sara’s trying to catch her breath.
    “I’m sorry, Sara. I could’ve sworn—whatever, it’s over with, let’s go pick up Beth.”
    She turns toward me and glares, her eyes shooting daggers. “Sabrina, you tell me someone is following us and now you say forget about it. No way. Spill it.”
    I bite the tip of my thumb and look out the window. The
