They weren't outside more than two seconds before Nox told her to call her parents. Under normal circumstances she would have thought twice about it. She'd disobeyed them. But right now all she wanted was to go home.
Her wallet was oddly quiet for not being home. Risha hadn't sent any texts. Maybe they'd come in later. But she quickly dialed home and her mother answered. "Sterling, where have you been?"
So much for that. Sterling thought to herself. "It doesn't matter now, Mom. I'm safe. I know this is going to sound bad but I need you to come get me Kallisti." Her mother gasped. "Before you yell I know. I'm sorry but I had to. Please just come get me. It will all be explained when you get here."
Sterling hung up the phone and looked over at the tender moment being shared between the two guys who her parents were going to accuse of kidnapping her. She didn't want that for Raffe. Her cousin - she thought could deal with it and all the trouble it brought he'd brought her so much more - but even he didn't deserve that. She sat down on the edge of the sidewalk and waited patiently. Now was not the time to be an teenage girl who was afraid. Even though she was terrified.
