Abby Pov:

max and i are currently in her bathroom, brushing our teeths.

el is in max's room.

we finish brushing our teeths.

i couldn't stop thinking about heather and billy, and earlier about the back of my neck.

"max?" i spoke.

max looks at me "yeah?" softly replied.

"do you think that... heather is okay?" i ask.

"yeah. i mean, you don't?" she asks.

"no, not really." i replied.

"well, i'm sure that she's okay, all right?" max said.

"okay... and there's another thing..." i said.

"what is it?" she asks.

"recently, i've been feeling something... weird in the back of my neck. it's like, your body's sinking all at once, but it's worse." i explained.

"well, are you okay?" she asks.

"at the moment, yeah." i replied.

"but, it's probably nothing... right?" i ask.

"i don't know..." max said as she looks down.

"the first time i felt it, it was at the movies, then again at the nelson's farm, then earlier again at outside of heather's house." i told her.

max is still looking down.

"max? can you plea--" max suddenly walks out of the bathroom, leaving me just standing.

we woke up, because lucas is been talking to us over the radio for the past two minutes.

i felt max's arms around my waist.

i tried to sit up, but max pulls me down and closer to her.

"do you copy?" we hear lucas over the radio.

"this is a code red." max's radio is on the floor.

"i repeat, this is a code red." lucas said.

"max..." i spoke.

"max. do you copy? this is a code red." lucas said.

max finally gets up, and grabs the radio from her floor.

"shut... up." max replied as she turns off the radio, and drops it on the floor.

she lies down again, and wraps her arms around my waist.
